    CORRECTION: We made a mistake in that the other wash cycles can be rolled over into the dry cycle if it is manually selected before the cycle starts, we still think more than 2 of them should be defaulted to just roll-over but it's still a nice feature we overlooked. We will discuss more about these features in some follow-up videos.

    I have had the smaller unit in my RV for about five years and decided to get the big unit for my home and I absolutely love it

    Just got mine and I am quite happy after four loads with different types of clothes and bedding. I will start doing towel only washes/dries, however, as when I did a mixed load with towels included, it took about 4 hours to finish, versus 2.5 hours for just clothing. Did a queen comforter with an extra rinse cycle and it took three hours total and came out feeling warm and very dry.

    I have the new LG unit - it work s great - yes drying time is a little longer - start it night (time delay 2-3hours ) use quiet night mode - don’t hear anything- bedroom is 10’ away very quiet - clothes are done in morning- and no issues with lint or dog hair I would definitely buy again - maybe I’ll add a second unit it the future-

    Love mine. I do 3 loads a week since it's just me. If your single and do limited wash and dry cycles, this is perfect. No lint problems or issues with buildup on the gasket.
  • I just ordered ours. We are a big family well, 5 of us but we have a day we each do our own laundry. I'm excited to try it.

    I bought one a month ago loved the concept, the one problem I had with it that if you have pets more than 1 I wouldn't recommend it. We have 4 dogs and washing the blankets they lay on didn't get it clean took a little hair off and that's it very little in the lint trap and the gasket for the lint trap was deformed and more hair ended up on the fins inside of the unit (fire Hazzard) plus all the hair around the door gasket was horrible so after our 48 hours to test it we called Home depot and returned it thinking something was wrong with the lint trap, so a few days later they came with a new one and before they took it in the house I looked at the lint trap and same thing told them to take it back. So now we are getting the LG WashTower.

    I was looking into energy costs today to run this unit compared to a regular washer dryer set. I found the energy use with this unit is 400 kW plus per hour and a yearly cost. They stated $13 a year.. I found a cost between the 240 as the dryer would run a quarter at the time you're savings is minimal

    Mine performed great for three months. Now it is starting to drip water down onto the clothes at the end of the dry cycle, and the clothes are not drying nearly as well. I am trying to have LG send a repair technician, but they are reluctant!
  • @midlifemom5829
    I would love to save space with a combo! However cant get away from doing 2 loads, one in washer and another in dryer at same time

  • @djftremblay5895
    Question for you, I may be wrong, the way the LG is made compare to GE, when you wash the fins if the compressor, I think that even if its awkward having to clean from the top (if you want to create a table on top, its well designed to clean the fins in its natural way up and down, pretty sure that they could be fragile and if you stick stuff in like GE or samsung you could potentially bend a few fins making it less and less efficient. Am I correct? I am looking at it because I am alone and often forget to change washer to dryer... I can run it during the night where the electricity rates are good and stay away from peak prices. Thank you all of you for your comment it helps making a good decision.

    Looking to install this in our new 5th wheel RV that is prepped for a combo or stacked units. Saw this unit today at Lowe's, and it could meet our needs. 120 volts and no vent required. Any downside?
  • @San-tp8ss
    I have a query: My Bosch washer bangs slightly on the door when taking off during interim spins / final spins. And bangs when the spin ends Is this a warning that the shocks need replacement?
  • @kennixox262
    A combo washer/dryer is great if space is an issue. If not, why not wash one load, put that in the dryer and work on the next load of wash? Bendix brought out the first or if not one of the first combo washer/dryers back in the 1950's. Machines like this work well in Europe to where most don't have a dedicated dryer. In the meantime, I'll suffer with my Speed Queen front loader. Boulevard Home seems to be expanding into our area, Las Vegas to where I caught a glimpse of one of those stores somewhere around town. Seems more like an R.C. Wiley. Probably not a place that I would shop for appliances but no doubt better than Home Depot or Lowes. Around here, it is Sub Zero, Wolf & Miele.
  • @BrianKirsch
    Maybe you should do a follow up on the units that never stop drying. LG HQ now admits it’s an issue where the dry cycle will run forever and they can’t seem to fix it.
  • @NDZ-jf8ur
    Got one less than a month ago and it stopped drying. LG tech support for two days now is having me do a bunch of stupid trouble shooting that I already know isn't going to work. It's heating up and everything but it IS NOT drying, I might have to return it.
  • @gr8tGod
    I have a LG All in One and not sure if I'm liking it, Just purchased it in March...First I noticed that when its done with cycle, the rubber around door is like a lint filter, I have to clean it every time , its like having 2 lint filters, is this normal??? Also I do understand that the drying time is long but the clothes are so wrinkled , my dryers in the past do not do this, also its like unwinding rope, clothes are so twisted and don't dry right!! Am I doing something wrong that may cause all this? Help! 😤

    You can actually set a dry cycle to a normal wash cycle by tapping dry on the screen
