I also vote for LG Front Load, been using since 2020 to replace our Panasonic FL. No Unbalanced load error, Panasonic was very prone to going unbalanced in at least 6 out of 10 washes.

Prior to Panasonic, we were using Europa which lasted 12 - 13 years (belong to my parents)

LG is the only washer in the market with 6 Motion Wash and in Malaysian market, one of the two brands to offer Direct Drive washers with Stainless Steel Lifters in the drum vs rubber or plastic material by competitor.

Our washing machines run every other day, and on weekends 2 - 3 loads back to back.

Hitachi had direct drive as well, but harder to find and expensive.

Mine I think is this model, will need to recheck. 10.5kg without Turbowash function.

For blankets or bed sheet, how do you load it? if its in a ball, will be unbalanced but so far mine did not.

For bedsheets, I load them as two separate pieces and always try to put two bedsheets at one time.

For duvet pr mattress protector, have to do scissor fold as per in manual.

Also, please check the balancing of the machine. It should be level from side to side and front to back. When it was first installed, I did have unbalanced issues as the machine was not properly seated on the pedestal washer below, and its difficult to have one person to adjust when the machine is seated on a pedestal washer or pedestal for that matter.

So far, 4 years of trouble free washing and we use it daily and sometimes two or three times over the weekend. Much more happier with this machine than the Panasonic FL it replaced.
