Yep, Lg have always had a splitable tank. Lg are one make usually with reasonable spare parts prices but certain parts can suddenly go obsolete least historically. I like Lg but beware of models with rotor motors used on suspended floor- tend to vibrate due, I think, out of balance rotors at high revs. Other machines with a splitable tank are: Haier, Currys Logik, both Chinese and Turkish, Samsung, Bush both Chinese and Turkish, EBAC, some Bosch/Siemens Neff models, some more expensive Miele models, and Vestel made Turkish made machines.
