I have LG/Tromm washer and driver from ~7 years ago, still happy with them. If you go with a front loader you're going to want them on a pedestal of some sort, and my two bits of advice are (a) the pedestal needs to be *really* solid (whatever you had in mind x 2) and the pedestal always needs to be taller than you thought (whatever you had in mind x 1.5).

Oh, and don't spin the drum on older LG front load washers.. the voltage generated by the motor locks up something on the controller board and you get "$500 repair" error codes until you yank the power and let everything drain down.
