Advantages: Fast spin. Large load capacity. Ease of use. Features

Disadvantages: Extremely noisy drum (no good for flat dwellings). Leaking soap dispenser.

I also purchased an LG WM-1290 FHB. Apart from the terrible banging which seems to be a common problem and the fact that it moves across the floor as if to escape (I have wedged a shoe above it so it can't move too far) the problem I have is that water shoots out from the soap dispenser tray throughout the entire washing cycle. Has anyone experienced that problem? I wish now I'd kept our Zannusi which was 22 yrs old and faultless.

Summary: I can just about live with the banging drum but not the leaking dispenser. Avoid this one.

I was about to say the same thing...your machine is not level. . If You can't place it on a perfectly level floor, you will need to use shims under it. Always use a sprit level when installing an appliance to check theya re elvel or generally you will have problems of one sort or another.

Weve had a fuss free LG for four years and still impresses. The reason it could be banging and flooding is simply down to the fact that most LG machines need a flat level floor when its positioned. Also check the feeder tube at the bottom of the machine where the water outlet is, if your model has a feeder tube, otherwise you may find that the water chamber is clogged up due to it being off balance.
