New Washing Machine. Down to 5 Options

I have been watching a ton of videos and doing a bunch of reading and checking local appliance stores. I was originally set on a top loader, but the more I read, the more I'm ok with a front loader. Goal is $1000 or less before taxes. I'm down to the below 5 models, 3 top load and 2 front load. It doesn't need to be "SMART." Color doesn't matter, it's going in a basement. If anyone has experiences with these, it would be greatly appreciated.

Top load

LG WT8400 or WT8405  $947. 5.5 cu-ft top load.
LG WT8200 or WT8205 $797. 5.0 cu-ft top load.
LG WT7005 or WT7005 $697. 4.23 cu-ft top load.

Front load 

LG WM4000HEA $947. 4.5 cu-ft front load.
Electrolux ELFW7637AT $847. 4.5 cu-ft front load.
