I hate my LG, but I know many people who like theirs, and it gets high marks on Consumer Reports. It is great for delicates and my wash does come out clean. But, After the wash is done you have to dry the bottom of the rubber part at the opening or it gets moldy (unless you literally do two loads a day, then probably you would not have a problem, or if you use a lot of bleach, which I don’t). Where I put the soaps also does not competely drain well, and so that can get icky also. Also, Sometimes I want to be able to soak my clothes. There are fewer choices for soaps in HE. You can use regular soaps, but I don’t like doing it. The cycle takes FOREVER.
My LG dryer has sensors, and so supposedly you cannot use dryer sheets. I like dryer sheets better than liquid softener, so I had to change that reluctantly. The no wrinkle function does work very well.
Some of the things I named will be the case with almost all the front loads probably.
