I'm in laundry heaven!

I can not recommend this washing machine strongly enough! It sits in the mid-high end of the price range for washing machines. But I still think it's worth the price and comes with a 10 year guarantee on the direct drive motor, so should last for many years to come.
The machine arrived well packaged with everything needed to install it. Installation was straightforward as with any washing machine - this one only uses a cold water supply (see unboxing video). The machine itself looks really high end in graphite (sort of stainless steel effect) with chrome finishing. I was actually excited to do the laundry!
There are a good selection of wash programs as standard, with the ability to download more via the LG app. While not immediately obvious how to connect the washer to WiFi, a quick scan of the instructions and it connected easily and hasn't missed a beat since. The app, for me, is really helpful for changing settings and downloading additional cycle programs. You can change settings directly on the machine but it's much more straightforward in the app. It will also tell me if there's a problem with my machine, although it hasn't needed to yet! Honestly, I'm not sure who needs to start their washing machine remotely, but if that's your thing it's an option too. I might use this function to scare my husband while I'm out of the house, but otherwise I don't really have a use for it.
There are a couple of nice features, such as an anti allergy steam option, and an anti crease option, but the biggest one for me is the auto dosing feature(see photo). Fill up the liquid detergent and conditioner in the sealed tanks within the detergent door and forget about it until the machine reminds you to fill again. You can even link it to order you more detergent so you never run out (although I haven't tried this).At first I wasn't sure if any detergent was being dispensed, but a couple of tweaks on the amounts to be dispensed in the app and all was well. And I have to say, compared to my old machine, my clothes are noticeably cleaner! The washer seems to work really efficiently, and on some cycles will choose the most appropriate wash and dosing options for the fabric and weight of the load.
All in all I feel this machine has made my laundry routine more efficient and minimised any wastage of products. I love it!
