Mine is . . . . . . a Speed Queen front loader. Great machine. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it quietly.

LG
Several family members have the LG 4370 sets, which are still available. They use the previous generation TurboWash with two jets. They also use a bit more water than the newer generation TurboWash 360 and are gentler on clothes than the new generation.
They have the Sidekick mini washer and both love it. It's great for small loads and delicates, and is very quiet. The 4370 is made in Korea. The 3900 is assembled in the USA. LG washers are very reliable and parts are readily available should something break. They are easily repairable too. | ||

The Whirlpool WFW6620 I purchased last year is a really good washer also. I would highly recommend. Nice assortment of cycles and these new machines have a pump in them to spray water over the load as it tumbles.Very energy efficient also. | ||

So, is it better to buy the 4370 than the 3900? I’m working in a laundry room/ pantry remodel and will be buying one in a few months | ||

The 4370 is a higher-end model than the 3900. The 4370 has a drum light and has two delicate cycles--delicate and hand wash/wool. The 3900 has no drum light and only one standard delicate cycle, but it does have a sportswear cycle which the 4370 lacks. The 4370 is their previous generation so it doesn't have wifi but its control panel is easier to read...The new models do not have backlit control panels, so cycle modifiers are hard to see in low light conditions.
There will be a new version of the 4370 coming out sometime this summer. It will have TurboWash 360 and an auto dose system for detergent and fabric softener. It will also have artificial intelligence to sense fabric types and adjust the cycle accordingly. Model number of the updated version is WM4500. CLICK HERE TO GO TO littlegreeny's LINK | ||

Wasn't there talk of LG offering new models with integrated SS baffles ? Something about them being hygenic? Would be nice if all the manufacturers did this. | ||

control panel, auto dose and cycle performance What do the auto dose system look like? Also, how will it do on the normal cycle. Also, will the control panel be touch screen or push buttons? I am legally blind so I require a unit that has buttons I can feel. As a sidenote, will there be a matching dryer? If so, which one? | ||

On ELux These machines are verry nice as well. I do think their option selection is somewhat less intuitve, but their wash system is incredible in terms of performance. Anything with a heater there will be verry nice too, the TOL 627 though has the most advanced wash system with a recirculation AND a pre-mix pump. | ||

Black Stainless 4370
Nick,
The black stainless version of the LG 4370 should still be available. I checked Best Buy and they had them in stock in IL. This is the version both my mother in law and sister in law have and they are beautiful machines. I believe it's real stainless steel. The model number is WM4370HKA. The new version of this washer will have the integrated stainless baffles. Seems like LG is (almost) going all out on the new model. If they had a nice backlit panel and stainless outer tub, it would be a true top of the line machine. As far as I can tell, all new LG FL models are going to a non-backlit panel which is causing a lot of complaints. | ||

Costco
Nick,
Sounds like you have a nice laundry room. It looks like you can still buy the 4370 set with a Sidekick washer through Costco. If LG changed the name to black steel, then I would assume it's no longer real stainless. As far as I can tell, the 4370 was perhaps the only set with true stainless. Nice thing about buying from Costco is they automatically double the manufacturer warranty and if you use Costco credit card, you'd get a four year warranty. www.costco.com/lg-4.5cuft... www.costco.com/lg-4.5cuft-ultra-... The prices you're seeing at Costco is for the four piece set which includes the Sidekick washer and storage pedestal. The Sidekick is a cool little washer that you'd find will come in handy. All LG front load sets have the Sidekick option. | ||

I got an Elux 627 washer and dryer with my new house. The washer is AWESOME!
Very solid. Well built. Quiet. Washes very very well. I’m less impressed with the dryer. It often doesn’t dry in one cycle. And their idiotic lint trap screen is so wide that clothes often get stuck on it. If I needed a new set I’d totally get the Elux washer again. But get a Whirlpool dryer. | ||

Littlegreeny..... Thanks for the info. Time to get out our executive decision maker. The toughest call will be whether, or not, we wait for the 4500. Thanks, again. | ||
