I have a front loader. Saves soap water and energy. You can get problems with the seal, but they are inexpensive. Repairpersons are not expensive here. I got mine lightly used from a film set. They necmver actuallydid real laundry in it, just pretend for the drama. I guess my washer is more famous than me.

I'll buy a new one soon. Indont want to pay more than 700 for one. Oddly the Korean brands are more expensive in Korea...i guess it's because no one sells the other brands here because people will boycott their stores for such offenses clever way of doig business I suppose.

Sorry for the ramble. Emjoy your new machine.
