I bought this to go with my LG Washer. It is absolutely wonderful. I can do a load of towels, sheets, or even a comforter in the top washer, while, at the same time wash a load of items requiring gentle wash. I don't have to use a large load for only a few small items. It cuts my laundry time virtually in 1/2 by not having to put a very small load into the main washer - or allows me to wash my delicates and sportswear on a more consistent basis. I do not have to wait for two to three weeks waiting until I get a full load. I've been chomping at the bit to have one of these for a very long time, and now I have it. I love it. The only drawback is that it, as well as the top washer, seems to leak - I don't know if it's the soap or what - but it has a leak down the left side - leaving a white line of maybe detergent? I do not know what it is. The filters are clean. This has been going on since the day I had it installed. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because of the leak with the white film. Also, it will not connect to my ThinQ program. I have followed directions over and over - to no avail. I cannot get one single LG product to hook up to ThinQ - I own all LG products - TV, Dishwasher, Stove/Double Oven, Washer/Dryer, Washer Sidekick, Refrigerator, Second Refrigerator - not one single product will link to the ThinQ
