I have an LG front load washer, and I adore it. We've had it for 2 years, and my only complaint is my own fault: I didn't know about running a clean cycle on it. I just did a heavy duty deep clean cycle, and no more musty! Now that I know, I won't have the problem anymore.
Edit: Oh, one regret? We didn't buy the pedestals for them. It's not a huge deal, we're young and (somewhat) limber, but I can see now that the extra $ for the pedestals would have been worth it.
