29 in. 1 cu. ft. SideKick Pedestal Front Load Washer in Graphite Steel TWINWash System Compatibility and NeveRust Drum

I love the ability to wash small loads using less water! The only complaint is the plastic handle. It broke, but only after almost 5 years of careful use. Glad I had the warranty! Also I leave it open to avoid mold, so it has to be kept pulled out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pedestal matches my dryer and is the perfect height for my matching dryer to set a laundry basket right under the door to put fresh clean laundry in a basket rather than getting a arm load of laundry and getting it in the floor and has decent space to put my detergent and other household cleaners in out of sight out of mind

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first bought this I was in disbelief that I would never use it and was having second thought on why I paid so much for a baby washer lol, but turns out it’s used more than I ever thought it would be it’s great for just a load of socks since it’s only 1 cubic foot but it’s versatile to do mini loads of every day laundry for me as I’m single and live alone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our previous washer went kaput and we need a heavy duty, large capacity washer. This machine does that and more! With the additional Pedastal Washer we get more laundry done. We shall see if this machine holds up over time (our last one lasted 8 years, used daily in that time). We have had this machine about a month and so far it has not dissappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We updated to the new LG washer and dryer and went the extra cost of washer as a pedestal. We really enjoy the advantage of the second washer. Used for any item that calls for hand wash as well as in a hurry single item.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this when I did a remodel in my house and read all the reviews. Many people complained about it filling with water but I was talked into getting it. This is a horribly designed product. I’ve had my installer out and then LG was out. The repair guy was incredibly rude. Admitted that people complained about this issue and said LG hasn’t addressed it. when I run my regular washer, the side kick fills with water. His solution was leave it open so it doesn’t get moldy. That defeats the purpose to have this open in the middle of my laundry room. Buyer beware!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is more a question than a review. Is there supposed to be something in the handle part (the space that the control panel occupies on the washer sidekick)? If not, is there something that should be where the screw holes are? It looks very unfinished the way it is. I’m wondering of something was left out with the installation since the washer sidekick was missing the measuring cup.

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.

This is a great addition to your standard washer and dryer purchase. Looks great and works great. Perfect for small loads.
