Advantages: Large load, good energy rating, great features, whisper quiet

Disadvantages: Can't think of any

I was recommended to buy a direct drive LG washing machine when the repair engineer came to try to fix my old machine which turned out to be beyond help. He uses an LG machine himself and told me he had never had to repair one. I concurr with everything the previous reviewer has said. There are cheaper machines but I believe this one is worth the extra money because it takes a very large load (I have just washed a king-sized duvet), it is remarkably quiet even when spinning at top speed, it is very easy to use, it is economical to operate and has proved very reliable. I like the display that tells you how long the selected programme will take. I started by carefully sorting my laundry into the synthetic / cotton etc piles as I used to need to with old machines but have found this washer is so efficient that most of the time I use the 30min wash programme which is suitable for most fabrics and the clothes come out really clean. I should think everyone get the occasional coin or other foreign object into their machine by mistake and have had to call out an engineer. On this machine you can access a drain filter and fish them out yourself. I certainly do not regret buying this machine and would thoroughly recommend it and would expect its replacement to be equally good.

Summary: Definitely worth the money
