They have a tendency to leak
and grow nasty mold, and wear out your clothes, and struggle to clean heavily soiled clothing. I've also personally experienced issues with their electronics boards failing on multiple makes/models. MIL gave up on her front loader, ended up going with a classic old school machine.
Or just break in any other way possible. They're just garbage.
Well ya. Those front seals need to be replaced every 5-10 years. But I see it as a trade off for better performance.
