My LG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washer dryer combo unit about a month ago as I have a small apartment.. I absolutely love this machine! It's amazing!

    Overall amazing with one quirk
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our combo washer/dryer. It fit perfectly in the little nook when we remodeled the downstairs bathroom. Our main use for it is cloth/reusable diapers. Apart from sheets and blankets the drum is a great size for a single person or small family. Fabulous for starting a load for wash and dry before bed or work and it will be done when you wake up/get home. We utilize the child lock feature every time. Our only complaint is that the child lock feature does not work on the power button! Our 1.5 to is great at getting in the room and hitting the power button mid cycle. There is no way to turn it back on and have it pick up at the same cycle point. (Moral of our story: catch up to your child before they get to the buttons)

      This is a perfect gem
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my machine about six weeks ago. It is a perfect fit in my bathroom. I am very pleased with the performance of all the washing & drying cycles, including some of the extra features. This LG appliance has made doing laundry so much easier.

        Very satisfied
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually bought the other brand first, but that was so loud and didn’t clean it enough. One of my friend strongly recommended this so I exchanged to LG. It is so quiet, nice and clean. I am so satisfied and happy with my new machine. Thank you LG!

          Perfect for small condos/families
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased because I have very limited space in my Condo and can not vent a dryer to the outside. This unit fits the bill as it is small as well as ventless. I do not believe this unit would be good for a family of 4 but it definitely works for the 2 of us. I am able to wash a full set of bed sheets with no problem or up to 4 large beach towels (wash and dry). Gets clothes clean and dry. LOVE THIS UNIT!!

            excellent combo for 2 people
            Had the LG combo for two months and love it! Average wash/dry is approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours. it conserves water and the dryer with a condensing circulated the moisture from the clothes and steam dry. With the use of 110 it hardly takes any energy and my electric bill is not effected by it. I discovered once the clothes are dry I wait for half hour prior to removing the clothes comes out wrinkle free. Will never go back to the conventional washer and dryer.

              Great product. Only ‘complaint’ is the measurements listed on Home Depot’s webpage are not correct. The item was actually two inches deeper than listed which caused the item to stick out further than we expected (using in an RV).

              Really quiet and efficient
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added a laundry upstairs into an old closet and were tight with space and couldn’t fit a full size washer and dryer. This machine fit the bill and was more economical (120vac, no venting, no gas line) and also left space for a linen storage. I did strengthen the floor and tiled it. We also added a floor drain in case the machine overflows or a pipe burst. The machine is very quiet and is barely noticeable, the cklicking between programs is the most noise. After we got used to the smaller load sizes and the timing we are really loving the way it works. We put the laundry into the machine set it to start in the afternoon and everything is done just as we get home to unload it. It may not work as well for larger households and people that have lots of large pieces of laundry, but we love it!!

                  It washes and dries in 2-3 hours. Doesn't really take that much longer than a normal set but you can't stuff it with clothes. We are really happy with it. I always check the gasket in the front and make sure it's clean and free of dog hair before the next load.

                  Extremely satisfied with the purchase
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Despite some negative reviews on the web about the washer I got it. It's been about 10 times we had done laundry and so far we are happy with the outcome. We even washed our comforter and had it air dry. Quiet operation ,not much increase on the electricity. I recommend reading the instructions since it does dry only if needed.

                    We bought this for our RV where we currently live full time. I protested about getting a ventless unit because the last one I had was useless. But I begrudgingly got this unit and it has EXCEEDED my expectations to the point that I don't even want a vented dryer again! Correct. It doesn't get in a hurry to dry, but it also doesn't tear up my clothes. The dryer gets extremely hot, so be careful ! The wash cycles are great. One weird thing I noticed is that when the clothes are done drying, you think they are "damp", but they are NOT! Let them sit for about 30 seconds and you will see that they are actually dry. It's the steam that is fooling you into believing they are wet. I do relatively large loads of clothes too. I don't overload it, but it's bigger than you think. I also don't set it to wash and dry. I wash, then set the dry button. I shake out my clothes to get wrinkles out between cycles. It really helps. I can't find one reason to complain or give this unit a bad review and it has had plenty of use in 6 weeks.

                      I've had the machine for less than a month. So far, I love this machine. It works! I am getting more laundry done. I am not sitting around the house waiting for the washer to finish so I can load the dryer.

                      This LG combo washer dryer makes extremely disturbing sounds throughout the wash cycle like a long, loud roar and a high pitched whistle. I reached out to both LG and Home Depot for a resolution, but have been unsuccessful for over a month. Home Depot please help me or I will be returning this item.

                      This machine is amazing for 1 or 2 people! It is super quiet, efficient and space friendly! It might not be the best option for a family with more than one child. What I had before, tucked in a closet: A similar washer that electronically calculated the weight of the laundry and dispersed water accordingly. It was dreamy except for my having to wipe down the rubber O ring after each wash or risk mildew. The con was that the gas dryer and its massive venting tube wasted valuable floor space and made half the clothes rack unusable. During a recent walk-in at HD, I happened by a prominent display of washers and dryers. It was love at first sight! I realized that the all in one concept had made major advances and that although my double set still worked at the 8 year mark, the advantages of extra space made upgrading sooner than later very desirable. I HAD to have this miracle maker! Several loads later, it's been pure success, no regrets! Know: There is a bit of a learning curve about the settings, how to wash but not dry, versus timed dry, versus wash and dry both. The manual is not clear. What I've learned and verify: Fill the tub no more than half way. Towels as well as clothes take 90 to 120 minutes to wash and dry. Last night I laundered a padded double bed mattress cover that was turning yellow. I sprayed it with Oxi-Clean and used HE detergent. The cover filled most of the tub, but it came out spotless and dry in just under 2 hours. Bonus: In addition to freeing up closet space, not having to remove wet clothes and toss them into a separate dryer is luxurious!

                        Perfect for a small space and/or if you don't have a 220 volt hookup, it also does not require a dryer vent hose . The only drawback is that the dry cycle takes 2-4 hours depending on how much you put in it, this is a much better option than having to go to the laundromat every weekend.

                        I can't believe how clean this thing gets stuff. It's particularly good at doing odd things like pillows and dog beds. It seems to dry things evenly throughout regardless of their thickness.

                            I bought this washer dryer combo three years ago. The ventless feature does make the drying take longer than usual. A full wash and dry cycle can take up to 5 1/2 hours… and sometimes and extra dry cycle (2-3 hours) Otherwise it gets the job done.

                                It does not dry well at all. Unfortunately it's the only size to fit in my tiny home. I have had to replace the drain motor and it was not covered under the ridiculous warranty. Of course something isn't going to break, hopefully, in a year! If I could, I would get a stackable! Would not and do not recommend this washer/dryer combo! Shouldn't have to purchase an extended warranty after a year of use! It's all a money game!!!

                                      Four years later and I still love this machine.
                                      I bought this washer/dryer combination 4 years ago and still am amazed at how great it is. Granted it isn't a full-sized washer much less dryer. But it sits neatly under a countertop taking up less than the space of either of the other machines. We must run it at least twice a day through both processes. It washes really well. The drying takes a little longer but I expected that. I also expected to pay more for a high quality machine like this. I do recommend getting the extended warranty though. We've had a few service calls but they are quick and easy to set up through the warranty and very professional. I would definitely buy this again. Even after our construction is finished and I get my full sized laundry back.

                                          In the two years I have been using this machine, it broke twice from the drain pump and twice from the front panel. The drying capacity it's a joke. Other than that, the washer does a good job when is not broken.
