My LG brand front-loader has a small drain tube easily accessible on the lower front to drain any water that may remain. I bend over less with this machine than with my previous (top-loader) because I put it on a platform--a plywood box because I did not want to spend ridiculously high $$s on the accessory pedestal for a machine that lives in the garage. My laundry comes out just as clean, if not cleaner, than before, using only half the water and detergent. And no agitator means the clothes are treated more gently, extending their wearability. I shopped around and managed to get this machine for the same price I would have had to pay for a top-loader at the time, about two years ago.
