 Love this washer dryer combo November 23, 2009
L. Lake (tx)
Love this unit. I was worried being in such a humid area and not having the vent, but this is not an issue. I love not having to take out laundry until it is done! No more wet clothes to mess with. I love being able to delay and have clothes ready either when I get home from work or in the morning when I wake up. We have tried all types of clothes. Find that it works best when you have the same type of material washing at the same time. I use the more dry feature and don't have the problems others seem to have had with not drying enough. So I am not sure if they are doing this or not. I am still working on drying pants without wrinkles, they tend to get twisted up and come out wrinkled, but this is minor. Highly recommend this to anyone that can't stand taking wet clothes out of a washer to put in a dryer.
 Hope you like to iron! November 4, 2009

I've own this unit for about a year. I love the ease of setting a load and then just walking away. It takes 3 1/2 to 4 hours to complete a cycle depending on the size of the load.
However, my clothes come out (especially jeans) twisted and wrinkled so badly, this has doubled the amount of time I spend ironing. With this unit, there is no such thing as "wash and wear".
AMAZING machine! June 21, 2009

After extensive research, we decided to take the plunge and invest a considerable amount of money in this machine. Our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner! It is amazing. Even our plumber, after he installed it, said "This is a beautiful machine!" --- and believe me, he has seen quite a few washers in his day. He plans to buy one for his own home. We live in NYC and our options were limited, both space-wise and in terms of venting. So that eliminated many choices that other people have. From reviews, which were mostly positive, I was afraid of low drying quality, low capacity, and possible odors since it is a front-loading machine. We have had ZERO problems with any of these. And I would disagree with the reviewer who said that this machine is not for a family of 4, 5 or 6. We are a family of 5 (two adults, 3 kids under 5) and this machine is perfect for us. I do loads about every other day, according to color/temperature, which are never that big anyway, so capacity is never a problem. However, when I have had to do larger loads, such as sheets and towels (for example, two towels and two sets of twin size sheets), everything comes out clean and dry with NO problem. The features are incredible, in terms of washing possiblilities and others such as pre-wash, steam, allergeine, and a wide range of drying cycles. The dryer will keep tumbling periodically even after it is finished in order to prevent wrinkles, which is great. Sometimes I prefer the clothes to be left slightly damp (I hate when normal dryers "bake" my clothes), and so sometimes they will be a bit wrinkled when they come out. This problem is very easily solved either by drying them a bit longer, or running the steam feature to eliminate wrinkles. It is so efficient that hardly any detergent (must be HE) needs to be used, and you will not notice a difference at all in energy or water bills (it runs on a 220 volt and is designed to use very little water. The amount of water needed for each cycle is tailored to fit the amount you need to wash by the machine).
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in trying to reduce their carbon and water footprints---not just those with limited options, like us. It has a child lock, which really comes in handy with young kids. I also love the fact that I can program or delay a wash; often I put clothes in in the morning and they are washed and dried when I come home. Now they just need to make a machine to fold the clothes and put them away!!!
We have had no problem with mold or odors (I think because of the built-in dryer), no problems with capacity or with drying. I would highly recommend this washer dryer combo to anyone, regardless of their options or their family size. It's amazing and WELL WORTH the investment! Why have two, huge, bulky machines when just one will do?
THe only drawback I can think of, which is very small, is that, if I had separate machines, I would sometimes do two wash loads and then dry them together. Very minor inconvenience. I should also add that this washer/dryer is VERY kind and gentle to your clothes!
Great Machine! March 1, 2009

After an apparent frozen start, due to over exposure to cold weather prior to delivery, we've finally been able to use this washer/dryer multiple times for regular clothes, sweaters and a regular sized comforter.
The convenience cannot be beaten. This was purchased for an elder primarily to make laundry service available on the main level of the home and to end the multiple tasks of loading and unloading associated with regular washers and dryers. We put a half load in, set the dryer and retrieve most clothes dry enough to be folded and put away. I normally air dry most my clothes and I was pleasantly surprised to find that without setting the dryer, clothes were much dryer from the machine's fast spin than with a regular front loading washer.
The regular sized comforter had to air dry a bit more. Sweaters were perfect for natural drying. The aroma from the fabric softener was an added bonus to freshen the air and the added humidity was good too.
The unit is noisy but within tolerable limits. We can hear the water filling and upon spinning, the noise, especially a rattle from the back metal plate, seems to increase with the load size.
The unit plays tunes in response to starting, ending and errors, shows exactly what is being programmed on the illuminated display panel and displays a "door lock" message to eliminate damage from inappropriately trying to force the door open.
Overall, I love the unit.
Great job LG!
Best Combo Out There PERIOD. February 24, 2009

My wife and I've had this unit for the last few weeks and we cannot be happier.
We looked at other units and their limitations:
1) Stackables - Not energy efficient enough, needs dryer vent, unreliable, small
2) Front loader, with electric dryer on top - needs dryer vent, small, not thin enough for space.
3) Other combos (Haier, LG WM343HWA) - poor workmanship, small drum, takes forever to dry
This LG is only 29" deep, and is all in one. It uses 110, no vent. Just hot/cold water and drain hookups. Holds 4.2 cubic ft of laundry and leaves clothes exceptionally clean. It is state of the art, LCD screen, LED light inside, multitudes of settings.
Obviously the dry cycle is longer, but a very small price to pay for all the pros! It is absolutely perfect for the small closet in our apartment.
It works exactly as advertised, no fuss, worth every penny.
