LG 4.5 cu. ft. Capacity SteamWasher w/ TrueBalance Anti-Vibration Technology — 

We got ours delivered Monday September 14th, and have done only a few loads of laundry so far, maybe 6 or so, but they have been different types of loads and care needs. So far, everything came out very clean, and undamaged. The machine is very quiet. We bought the matching dryer as well, and I am writing a seperate review on that. This washer has so many options and features. I guess most of them will remain unused by most people, maybe even my wife and I, but we like having them available. This model has a very nice, large, easy to read LCD panel which really makes it easy to see what you are doing and even has comments on what you may have selected. Most normal washes can be done with just selecting one of the main seletions of the rotary selector switch, which has delfault settings to get that mode done. If you  want to tweak something or add other options you can.

The only problem (questions)we had was related to the detergent, bleach and softener dispenser drawer. The manual does not make it clear where to put color safe bleach or products like Oxi Clean. I called LG customer service and the rep I spoke to was not really sure what to tell me either! Anyway my wife figured that out. Sorry, but I don't remember waht she wound up doing. This washer runs very quietly and does not vibrate. We have the laundry set up in the basement which has a concrete floor. When the washer first starts to spin, it looks like it is going to vibrate, but it actually smoothes itself out in less than one second and spins very smoothly and quietly. the high spin speeds of the front loader really gets most of the water out of the clothing, so the dryer has an easy job. We love our new LG 3001 washer and dryer. If anything changes, or comes up, I will edit this and make note of it.

Not knowing the durability of this rather new machine, we took out the extended warranty on the washer and dryer.

The washer has a 2 year warranty on th electronic boards, and a 10 year warranty on the direct drive motor in addition to the 1 year overall warranty
