That model and the Samsung WA5471 are on my short list for consideration this fall, to replace our Bosch FL pair (both of which are starting to act up.) Right now I'm leaning towards the Samsung because of the past issues with the LGs self-destructing and my impression that the build quality is slightly better (metal tub hanger brackets vs. plastic in the LG, for instance.) In tests the LGs seem to come out on top in cleaning, but not by much, and probably not enough to overcome any engineering differences.

Decent old fashioned washer--Speed Queen. No Electronics.3 year warranty.

Thanks for your responses. I ended up ordering the WT5170.
