The combination of many details that makes the difference.

I must admit, the last purchase of a washing machine 10 years ago. Since you went either in an electrical shop and got a more or less witty presentation of a seller who always ended in that he dragged you to a sponsored product, which was, of course twice as well but twice as expensive.

There are now fortunately the Internet with all its wealth of information. As you can gather together every piece of information and advice to (seller urging shop will close) in peace and without pressure of time to decide.
After countless hours and hundreds of clicks, I have decided on the LG. Bin times marching to M-market and have looked at the various manufacturers and their processing my spot. Ordered and delivered on 16:10:14 via Internet from namesake of Otto Waalkes.

And here's my verdict: modern washing machine for the modern home

1. Super soft, with one can also wash at night.
2. Great Design
3. Very informative display
4. Good quality (Made in Germany could be) materials are of high quality.
5. useful gimmicks (eg detergent compartment with lotus effect, favorite wash program can be saved with additional selections, spray from above when flushing, beep at program end and then some) everything well thought out.
6. 10 year warranty on the motor, I hope there is still LG ;-)

What's missing is a long-standing experience. But may still not provide. Oh ..ja almost forgotten endurance test according to Stiftung Warentest very good.

The only negative is the labeling of the additional options, too small and inappropriate color discontinued.

You get a very good commodity for his money and this should suffice as a recommendation.
