Kenmore 28" Top-Load Washer with Powerful Triple Action Impeller and Generous 4.3 Cubic Ft. Capacity

D.C.: I'm going to say I love it because it isn't doing anything wrong but, it is H.E. which means, if you haven't owned an H.E. before, this will be a new experience. So, I was already using H.E. Tide detergent, come to find out. Who knew? So, I didn't have to go out and purchase separate detergent for the new machine. The display & buttons are low tech, no fancy lights, display or complicated computer to fail in a few years down the road. Has wash options, but not too many to make it a day long project to figure out how to wash a load of laundry. It has a nice, large capacity which is great. It has a steal (or shiny metal interior/sides of the drum when you look inside. It has white plastic bottom of the drum, looking in. It has the appearance of an agitator, which I really wanted because I didn't understand how H.E.'s are different from non- H.E's, and I wanted that type of cleaning action that comes from an agitator on the soiled clothes. However, I am wondering now if the "agitator" isn't more for dispensing the fabric softener and comforting "old school" people like me, maybe?

The LG has "smart" diagnosis that linked to a cell phone. This feature didn't work as it it just gave us an error code that was no help. Previously we had an expensive front loading Maytag that similarly didn't last very long and had mold issues. This machine is similar to our older machines that lasted many years so we have hope. The price is low enough that I wouldn't feel the need to ever repair it. It has an old fashion real agitator center post and does as good job of cleaning. After all, the purpose of a washing machine is to get clothes clean not not to save water! (I could save even more water by wearing dirty clothes!).

Amazon has a great price. I paid $588 at Sears and was told it was "on sale". The next week I kept getting pop-ups on my PC that the price was $499 at Sears. I called for a price...
