My husband and I bought the LG Tromm washer and dryer four years ago, after we became parents and I'm not a fan. Like others, I have had the smell problem and have to leave my door open after each wash load. I still have this problem after using HE soaps which are supposed alleviate the issue. I have a Bosch washer and dryer (that is 9 years old and made in Germany) in my guest house and they have become the machines I use most often. This Korean made crap is something I would NOT recommend, even to my worst enemy.
