Fully Automatic Front Load Washing Machine

Hi all. I just bought a new house and the previous owners took the washer/dryer with them so now I'm looking for the best possible washer/dryer to suit our needs and I've already done some research but I'm curious to look for recommendations from people here. As far as budget goes I would say like $10k is the absolute max I'm willing to spend only really if it's really going to be worth it and save us that much money in the long run. Preferably under $5k total. Our needs in order of importance: * Good gentle cycle. We have a lot of merchandise with designs that fade easily we wear daily and I'd really rather have a washing machine that won't destroy the designs. * High Capacity/Fast Loads. We'll be 6 people sharing the same laundry machine, so it's important that we're able to get as much throughput as possible so people aren't stepping on each other's toes with the laundry * Long lasting/Good durability. Obviously having to replace or repair a washing machine frequently will be a pain in the butt that would be best avoided. * High efficiency. Another obvious, but I consider it lower priority than all of the other points. From what research I've done it seems like a front loader would probably be best for the washer, and I've looked into LG, GE, Speed Queen, and Electrolux are the best brands.

I'm currently thinking about upgrading our slim Electrolux front loading washing machine to a bigger one. I've been looking at the LG F4A1009NWK for 350€ (~$400) and the Bosch WGG244ZASN for 650€ (~$750). My criteria: - No i-Dos or the equivalent in LG, I want to choose myself how much detergent is added. - Durability, has either one a history of breaking/producing error codes more often? - Should be able to handle pet hair without getting clogged. Which one would you choose and why? There is such a big difference in price, but that is not my main concern. I will buy the Bosch if it is worth it to spend more.
