I LOVE LOVE LOVE my front load washer. Never had any problems with it. It gets clothes super clean with barely any detergent! I do keep the door open when not in use and run the tub clean cycle once a month since I did read long ago they can get a funky smell. I have not had that problem. I used to wipe down the seal after every use, but somewhere along the line I stopped doing that. I love the steam option too. Gets all the stank out of my hot yoga clothes and towels. We got the matching dryer when we bought. It works great too, it senses the level of dryness you select so it can save energy too.
I have LG. I do not know the models. We skipped the platform/drawers. They were outrageously priced.
