How would you rate the noise and vibration level of the washer?
My new LG 4000 series washer and dryer

Mark, my choice was more a function of what was available to be delivered in a week or two where I live. No WP/Maytag front load matching dryers with steam available until possibly October. I've had my 2 matched sets, I don't need to keep up with the jones any more. It's not important to me to have a matched set any more. But I'll evaluate what washer meets my preferences/needs whenever that time comes. And yes, very short dryer vent length.
The noise level on my LG 4000 washer is very quiet. I can hear it when it fills but it doesnt use the "pulse fill" like the 3570 washer did. I had to use water hammer arrestors to keep my toilets and pipes from groaning. I did put water hammer arrestors on this washer since our water pressure here in FL is very high. Washing is quiet as well. One can hear the low hum of the recirculation pump and the clothes tumbling as the washer does its thing. The drain sequence is quiet and the drain pump is variable speed. I can hear it slow down and speed up to get rid of any water in the drum during spin. Its not annoying by any means. Spin is quiet and kinda sound like a UFO taking off...the only way to describe it. Vibration is almost non existent. This washer goes thru its load balancing routine and does its thing. Now I have this washer on a concrete floor. It should do ok on a wooden floor I would think. It won't shake your whole house if that is what you are wondering.
This washer and dryer are very well made and good value for the money I would have to say. Plus LG washers and dryers are always well rated by CU and I can see why ...

Mike, thank you for the comment regarding the pulse fill--I always referred to it as the spritzer on/off fill. I'll have to pay closer attention to the fills on this most recent series that includes the 4x00 models when I can find more videos YT online.

yes it is, slow and sure!
German universal megapearls
Are absolutely wonderful. I love the German Color Megapearls too. Excellent cleaning yet still easy on blacks. And the current version of Tide Original powder cleans and whitens just as well as Persil if not better, but with better suds control. I am using it more and more. Tide’s current scent, their cheap bubble gum college laundry room scent with sandalwood added, is inferior to Persil IMO but I can live with it.

LG's are made in US and S Korea....right? Not China. Plz correct me if I'm wrong.
Washers are made the in the US and my dryer tag says it is made in S. Korea.
I believe many are now made in the USA and some are still made in South Korea. I have never seen any made in China but I have seen a few made in Vietnam.
My LG 3570 washer was made in China. The dryer was made in South Korea. The new 4000 series washer made here in the USA. I think that the US built washer is well made. The dryer as well. My LG dishwasher is made in South Korea as well as my LG fridge. My LG range was made in Mexico , the microwave in China. They are no different than Whirlpool, GE, or Frigidaire Electrolux and Bosch.
My wm3700 was made in Vietnam. These days they can switch back and forth between factories in different countries at the drop of a hat for any reason.
The nephew/niece's 2019 LG frontloader doesn't reference a manufacturing location on the model/serial tag. Where might the info be located?
Glenn, some models have a manufacturing label on the left side panel of the machine.
The silver sticker on mine on the right panel, top left corner. Highly visible
The dryer is the same way as well for the side sticker. Info can also be found in the upper left of the door opening.
Their 10yo LG dryer says Korea (interestingly, doesn't specify North or South) on the model/serial tag. Can't check the side tag on the washer, they're 2hrs 10mins distance.
These are the stickers on my washer and dryer...the first pic is from the dryer, the second from the washer.

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The black steel model with rose gold trim has been great so far. Our criteria for purchasing were:</span>
<ul>
<li>Turbo wash</li>
<li>Heater</li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Matching dryer in stock</span></li>
</ul>
