so do LG have decent drive axels and bearings ?If you want a washing machine and you have £400 to spend buy an LG and thank me later.
I'm not convinced that the direct drive technology has yet reached prime-time, an excuse to skimp on bearing quality.
currently have a siemens, but after having learned that our previous 20yr old Asko brand was bought by gorenje, I would be considering a gorenje as a next purchase

but have not inspected one in the flesh yet.
