27 in. 1.0 cu. ft. SideKick Pedestal Washer with TWINWash System Compatibility and NeveRust Drum in White

I recently replaced my 13-year-old LG steam washer/dryer set; because the red color was discontinued and I had to replace the pedestals I decided to give the Sidekick a try. I am concerned that it was delivered on it's side in the delivery truck when the box clearly said not to! It definitely comes in handy for small loads and will save on wear and tear on the main washer. It also cuts down on overall time spent on laundry because you can do 2 loads at once. I do have to leave it pulled out and open because of condensation, I'm concerned there would be a mold problem if I didn't. Even after thoroughly drying open for several days, it collects condensation when operating the main washer. I close the Sidekick prior to operating main washer and then open and dry it even if it hasn't been used. Luckily my laundry room is set up so it's not too much of an inconvenience to leave it open but I probably wouldn't have purchased if I'd realized it would need to remain open. Time will determine whether I'm a satisfied buyer or one that replaces with a storage pedestal.

We purchased this machine along with a full size washer. So happy I did when we did our first load of laundry I remember I had some masks to wash. I threw them in a bag and put them in sidekick. They came out great on hand wash cycle.

My wife and I recently purchased and completely remodeled a home. We went with the complete suite of LG appliances for laundry and kitchen. A total of seven appliances. We purchased the washer with the pedestal washer and matching dryer. The LG 1.0 CU. FT. LG SIDEKICK? PEDESTAL WASHER LG TWINWASH? COMPATIBLE was a big surprise. I was unsure how useful it would be in the laundry room, but I was wrong. It allows you to do 2 loads at the same time, reducing the time for doing laundry. Most importantly, it does a great job on delicates and swimsuits. Incredibly happy we went with it to.

It is a very nice luxury to have. The only con is u can't use it for whites... which is one of the reasons I wanted it. But I still find good use out of it. When u need to wash 2 tops or one especially when u first bring them home after purchase...or two or 3 dry towels that's still not enough for a small load in the big 5.0 cu. Machine. So it's good for a mini load, which is great. I do not regret buying it. And is a rather quiet Machine as well. I do think in the long run u get it money's worth. And it does a good job

I purchased this in Dec 2020, was delivered jan 2021. I love having this little sidekick. Don't have to wait for a bigger load before washing. I am extremely happy with it.

We use our pedestal washer more often than I expected we would when we purchased it. I loved the little silicone soap cup idea so much I bought one for the large washer so no more rinsing out cups or cleaning trays. My only complaints relate to the limitations on the controls for water temps, etc. and - since our laundry is upstairs- it seems like the spin can be a little bit noisier sometimes. Side Note: Because of the difficulty of installation and remote possibility of someday needing service I also opted for the additional in home warranty for this unit.

I was skeptical initially what value would it add to purchase the pedestal washer along with a regular washer. It was pricey and costs as much as washer. However, in long run I was convinced enough looking at the efficiency to run small loads with less water consumption and ease of use . My only cons were price, no hot water cleaning ( only warm water)

I can't even explain how excited I was to be able to purchase the side kick. I had my eye on this for some time, but truth be told it seemed an extravagant purchase that really wasn't a necessity in my eyes. Low and behold Home Depot has a SUPER 4th of July Sale this year and I was able to get the WASHER, DRYER, SIDEKICK & PEDESTAL for $300 less than what I paid for a Washer & Dryer at another website. Although the experience with the other website was horrific the silver lining is that I was able to cancel my order with them and place a new order with Home Depot and receive my order within 3 days!!! My order with the other website was over 30 days and still no washer & dryer so I will definitely look to Home Depot before anyone else going forward! Anyway, the best part about the sidekick is that it can be used for delicates, or just small loads as needed. Now laundry does not need to pile up waiting for large loads. I honestly don't remember what life was like without it! LOL... I love it!

Works great for me! So happy I got this little washer in addition to my larger 29" LG WM8100HVA & DLEX8100V set. I got the WDP5V pedestal drawer for under the dryer to match. This comes in super handy for small loads or delicate items. I use it quite often for some specialty items that I have to wash separately. I also use it to wash small loads so I don't get stuck waiting around to get it all done. It was a great addition to my laundry room! It makes my life a whole lot easier being able to throw that smaller load in while the larger load is going in main washer at the same time. No more letting stuff set around waiting to be washed because I didn't have a large enough load. Only thing I can say is be careful with how much soap you use, this is quite a small unit so go with their recommendations on how much soap it can handle otherwise they say you could clog it up by overdoing it on the soap. I have used two pods without issue, but I don't do it all the time to ensure it rinses out properly. All in all, I highly recommend this gem! Best invention ever! Note: Just sharing this tidbit in hopes it helps others… if you hear a water noise when you move the drum around, this is normal. This is considered a top loader unit, so there is salt water around the drum unit for spin balancing. We originally thought we had water not draining and the store ended up replacing the unit because they thought it had a bad water pump. Even the install company thought it was defective so they had it replaced. I ended up getting a hold of someone at LG myself because the new one had the same issue with water sloshing around when you moved the drum around. That’s when he told us that it was considered a top loader, and all LG top loaders have a salt water solution around the drum for spin balance. Whoops! Shocked whoever Home Depot called at LG didn't catch this. I continued to use it and monitored it and it's been completely fine. Haven't had any issues with it at all, no leaks, balance is good, and works just fine in just over 6 months now.

I bought the LG Washer and Dyer a month ago and absolutely LOVE them!! I’ve washed and dried practically everything in my house!! My whites are actually white again!! They’re amazing!!
