FWIW, we have an LG front loader bought at Lowe's with a 5-yr extended wty. Needed a little door adjustment for a tiny trickle of water first year, since then it's been mechanically fine. BUT after 10 years of front loaders, I think my next washer, given a preference, would be a top loader. I don't think the front loaders get the clothes as clean as a top loader. Sometimes my clothes come out with dry spots on them, like they never even got wet. I don't overstuff the machine, though we did get a large-capacity model; if I put a lot of clothes in it, it's worse. Comforter? Forget it, just go to the laundromat, not even worth running through unless you do it a couple times. So it's supposed to save money by using less water, etc....but it doesn't seem to be turning out that way. I just think that top loaders do the job better.
