We had our washer installed without measuring how long the hoses needed to be, so I found myself out driving around on a Friday night looking for 6' steel hoses. Dumb dumb dumb. Anyway, Best Buy came through with their website that actually showed in stock near me correctly, and they were the only store in a sea of big box hardware retailers that had hoses like these. They installed and tightened easily and reach just far enough to have my washer on the left. Would recommend to others.

We bought this to replace a 6-year-old LG that was damaged in moving. I loved that old LG - it was my first front-loader and it got my clothes so clean. This one is even better. It is silent. Really silent. I cannot hear it spinning. My scaredy-cat will even stay in the laundry room when it is running. I can set it to delay start at 5 am and it won't wake me up.
It has turbo wash on the most common cycles (normal, perm press, heavy duty) that only takes about 30-40 minutes, and it has a speed wash for just one item that is just 15 minutes. It has optional steam, which adds time. Honestly, I don't even know what you do with that, but I have tried it on greasy napkins, and it works well. The door has a magnet that keeps it propped slightly open when not in use - I was fine with leaving the old washer all the way open, but some people don't like how that looks, so this magnet door prop will work well for them. The temp can be adjusted all the way up to "extra hot" in some cycles without having to select "sanitary," which is pretty cool. If I had an android phone, it would do something with that, but I don't, oh well. According to CR, LG front-loaders have the lowest repair rates, so hopefully we will enjoy this for many more years. Highly recommend this product.
