I have the WT5101H purchased in October 2 and 1/2 years ago and the DLEX5170 purchased a little over a year ago. I found the best prices at appliancesconnection.com (note the s on appliance). Like you, I consider my purchases for a while before spending the money. I was a little worried of being damaged in shipping, but with the best price plus free shipping and no tax I had to go for it. I also got my LG fridge, microwave and double oven (almost 3 years ago) there and all were packaged extremely well meant to be shipped and arrived without a scratch.
I love love love the Sanitary cycle on the washer. It's a 3 hour cycle, but you can throw pillows in and they come out sparkling white like brand new. I also opted for the top of the line dryer with the steam feature. If doing it over again, I would not pay much for that steam feature, but would pay even 100 or so for the sanitary cycle on the washer. The washer uses very little water, is gentle on the clothes and gets everything really clean. It is a top loader without the center stem so you can fit so much in them you won't believe it. I recommend the top load so you can leave the lid open because they tend to smell moldy if you leave it closed. Some of the complaints I read were that it tangled clothes. Not so, if sorted and put in properly. I have had no problems with any of the LGS so far, but definitely not old school. I'm assuming a repair is going to be bucks, but at this time I would purchase again. |
