I'm so excited about this purchase which is a lifesaver for my family's busy lifestyle. I said goodbye to rewashing loads of clothes because we forgot to move the clothes to the dryer. This is a modern version of a washer/dryer and is what busy families need! I read lots of reviews before making this huge purchase and noted helpful hints many have mentioned. The most common complaint I saw during my search was that it doesn't dry the clothes....Solutions to this issue included changing the dry setting to "more dry" and also letting gravity work for you in regards to the drain pipe. I bought a pedestal to elevate the washer as well as a drain extension hose which sold as a "dish washer drain hose" at any big box hardware store and costs less than $15. It is important to note that the drain hose needs to go from the machine, align the floor a short distance, and then go up to the drainage pipe. Please see manual for a visual. The hose that comes with it is too short in my opinion. But the extension fit like a charm. My very first test load washed and dried perfectly. Initially upon opening the door the clothes felt damp. But just as others have stated once you remove them and shake/spread them out the clothes are instantly dry. My mouth fell open. It's truly amazing to have an all in one. I despise washing laundry and I'm actually excited to do it now! The machine has some really cool bells and whistles and even plays a song when the load is complete. I'm in love with my washer :) my husband is jealous! UPDATE: 6 weeks later... I still standby my review this machine is amazing! I no longer have "laundry days". The hampers stay practically empty nowadays. Laundry is no longer a chore. It just gets done! Example: After my 12 hr shift and wearing my last set of scrubs... laundry is the last thing I want to do. But with this machine I can pop the clothes in, program the timer and get ready for bed and wake up to warm clean-dry scrubs. My clothes are cleaner than they've ever been! I now only use the "more dry" setting when drying bulky items or a heavy load. The "normal dry" setting is just fine. If I pull the clothes out immediately after the load ends I have to let the heat escape before touching because the clothes are SO hot. One downside is jeans (particularly my 8 year old son's) come out wrinkled. I'm carefree and usually just fold or wear straight out of the dryer. Now I have to occasionally use the iron :( but just occasionally ;) The drum of the machine is VERY large! People may be tempted to fill it all the way. But I only fill it half way using the marker on side. Sometimes I test the limits but just slightly. *TIP #1*-Buy all purpose cleaning wipes and use between loads to make cleaning the rubber door seal easy. ;) *TIP #2*-Liquid fabric softener appears to decrease wrinkles (had no idea...but I definitely see a difference) *TIP #3*-If you don't think you'll be home when the load ends press and hold the "Fresh Care" button at start up and it will tumble the load every few minutes for hours keeping your clothes wrinkle free until you can unload them. *TIP #4*- Customize and program your favorite load settings apart from the default settings. My 8 yr old can now wash and dry a load of laundry with the push of 1 button!! (Well...2 if you count the power button Lol) Overall, I would purchase this machine over and over a thousand times. It's like having a personal assistant. Perfectly fits our family's busy lifestyle! ONE YEAR LATER...1/29/17 I still pat myself on the back for this purchase! We recently bought a house and took this with us and gave away the set that came with the house! It transported well. NO mechanical issues at all (knock on wood). I have all the hook ups for a regular washer and dryer but I'll NEVER do that again. Way more work than it's worth! Still a VERY happy camper!! TWO YEARS LATER 7/9/18 No problems with this machine at all...no matainance required! Super convenient...I may not be as motivated as 2 years ago lol but it’s still nice to put a load of dirty clothes in and get out a load of dry clothes! Now if only there was a machine that fold as well I’d be sold 😝! I updated the picture to this review about a year ago but I just want to point out that there’s a deep freezer next to my washer/dryer. Definite space saver as well!! Still highly recommended 😉 THREE YEARS LATER 8/13/19 No complaints, no maintenance, still works like a charm

Tried and true

I purchased my first LG all-in-one washer/dryer combo 11 years ago. It served me well for all those years so I did not hesitate to replace it with a newer version LG machine. The new machine arrived after only 3 business days. I had the machine unpacked and installed in less than an hour. After that a "test" wash confirmed successful installation. This unit is perfectly suited for an individual or a couple, when a vented option is not available. Drying times do take longer than conventional type machines, and that's to be expected since it is a ventless unit. Bear in mind the trade off is no expensive ductwork to vent the machine has to be installed (a cost that can easily run $1,000 job) . Also, once you place the laundry in the unit you set it and forget it. When you return the clothes are ready to go- washed, dried and thanks to the steam, wrinkle-free. TIPS: don't overload the unit. Keep the size of the load reasonable and drying time will be more efficient. I suggest avoiding washing large rugs in the machine- they release huge amounts of lint and are better suited for commercial washers in my opinion. . For blankets or large throws, I suggest washing them in the machine ONLY after they've been washed elsewhere the first time around, as they also tend to release large amounts of lint initially. After the first wash, however, they should be fine.

After 12 months, 1st svc call, still 5 stars. Love it, love it, love it.

I've had one of these since mid-March 2015, purchased locally from a big-box store. First thing to say: I love it. Absolutely _love_ it. Second thing: It's not for everyone. It's _different_ from regular washing/drying, you have to learn how to use it (takes maybe a week's worth of laundry to start figuring how to get the best out of it), and your circumstances may be different from mine and you might not love it, depending. The best parts: - Throwing in dry clothes, having them come out clean and pretty much dry. They're not bone-dry, but dry enough to hang, fold and put up. Usually they are steam-damp, and a quick shake before a fold or a hang fixes that. If the clothes aren't coming out dry enough (as some reviewers claim), you're probably either packing the machine too full, or haven't figured out which setting makes them dry enough for you, or are thinking about the one heavy piece in a load of light stuff, or are expecting bone-dry. I chalk up the slight moisture to the better fabric care this washer/dryer provides - I think it's part of the reason my clothes are less wrinkled. But yes, this is different from a conventional dryer, and you should expect the difference. Hasn't put me off it. Maybe if I lived in an area with very high humidity all the time, or had no air conditioning, this would be an issue, but it's not for me. - Tumbles the clothes every few minutes while it waits for you to come get 'em. That is so cool, and it really works to keep them from getting way wrinkled. Wish it'd do so forever 'till I opened the door - you only get about 4 hours of tumble to get 'em out before tumbling stops, and I suppose they've done it this way 'cause you could go on vacation and leave it tumbling, but still, why not 8 hours? - Simple to work once you get used to it: the lights and settings are a bit much at first, but you can set a "preferred program" you can access with one touch of a button. I have my usual wash program set up on the button, turn the washer on, touch the button, load the clothes, detergent and go. Keys to getting the best out of the machine: 1. Don't overfill (there's plenty of room in the drum, but you can't pack it tight and expect dry clothes at the end) 2. Expect to shake the steam out of your dried clothes at the end of the cycle - takes no time at all: give a shirt a shake and hang it 3. For fabrics that can't be dried, do a wash cycle without a dry, pull your un-dryable stuff out, then do a dry cycle (see below) 4. Try and get fabrics that are about the same heaviness for your load. You don't have to be precise, but if you put one pair of jeans in with a load of sheets, the jeans will come out damp. 5. Use enough detergent, but not too much - doesn't take a ton. Too much will make your clothes smell like the detergent (more than you'd like). - Washes and dries my clothes while I sleep, tumbles 'em 'til I get up to keep wrinkles out. Some think the "long" cycle times are a problem. For me, the "long" times aren't considerably longer than a wash and a dry, and I don't have to handle wet clothes in-between. I set a load at night, set the delay time to have the clothes ready when I get up, and don't think about it 'til morning. This isn't the only way to do it, but if I need a particular set of clothes for the morning, and start late at night, I can get the machine to reliably handle the problem, have it go away 'til I'm ready for the clean clothes. Love this. Love it. - No dryer lint-trap to have to empty every load. There's a lint filter in the wastewater line you have to empty about monthly, or when the machine tells you to. You also have to wipe a little lint away from the door seal. No big deal. - No dryer vent, no woodland creatures nesting in dryer vent. - Lighted drum - I can see what I'm doing in there! - Uses less electricity than my old top-loader and traditional dryer, but provides better fabric care, MUCH less hassle, MUCH more convenience. - Takes up the space of one unit, not two. The cons: - Biggest con: I worry a bit that the machine will break down sometime, and because it's a rare-bird, there won't be repair parts in inventory in the US depots. Most top-loading machines are using the manufacturer's same 50-year-old design with different control electronics on top, and the parts supply-chain is well-established and well-stocked, besides coming from US manufacturers. I could go to Sears or the appliance parts store and walk out with a pump or motor for just about any US-made top-loader. Because this LG washer/dryer is a new thing, and there aren't millions in the US market, there aren't parts for millions of units in the supply chain, and you could run into problems if something broke down. So you might need to think about using a laundromat for a bit in that case. Didn't stop me from buying it, though. - Can't get linen/cotton shirts to look good - they come out a bit wrinkled. This is the only fabric I've had trouble with - everything else looks great. If you're doing tons of these, or are allergic to the clothes iron, this might not be the machine for you. But really, I've only got 3-4 shirts like this, and most of them had some permanent wrinkle in a stiffener before we got the machine. Wish they were easier, but really, I can get over it. - Not obvious how to set a dry-only cycle, and the manual doesn't help you figure this out. _IT DOES HAVE DRY-ONLY_ and it's really easy: Turn the machine on, touch the "Dry" button. It's different enough from setting a wash/dry cycle that you wouldn't think to do this. But it works, it's there, you can do dry-only. Might be counter-intuitive to get dry-only if you've got a wash-cycle selected. Might have to power the machine off, then on, then select Dry. - You only have one machine. It's plenty big (capacity-wise), but you can't have two loads working, one in a washer and one in a dryer simultaneously. Not a big deal for me, but thought I'd state it. Myself, I'd rather not handle wet clothes between. Really, it's a matter of your expectations, your flexibility, and your style of doing laundry chores. - Initial new smell. It did smell a bit for the first week or two (one negative reviewer said it smelled like machine oil. That might be about right). That went away, and it's fine now, didn't ruin any clothes in the process. - Wish the machine had a steam-only cycle. It doesn't. It will do steam as part of wash cycles, but you don't get to steam-and-tumble wrinkled dry clothes, for example. OK, throw a damp towel in with them or something. - Wish the drum lights would stay on longer. They stay on for 4 minutes, and I'd like 8, or at least the ability to turn 'em back on without powering the whole machine off-then-on while I'm unloading clothes. The wrap-up: I love this thing. I'll sometimes turn on the drum lights and watch it work for minutes at a time - it's like watching a reality TV show, but with more intelligent content. You'll probably want the 14" pedestal to raise the machine up for easier drum access. I do. This isn't specific to this machine - most front-loaders could use one of these. We put ours in a catch-tray - a plastic tray that's designed to help keep any leaking malfunctions from ruining your floor. A proper catch tray has a drain line attached (ours doesn't - lack of planning ahead). We also were able to get a "flat" catch tray online, that slides under the machine before you raise the sides and close the corners. Hard to describe - but it works, and it fits the machine. Haven't had a leaking malfunction, just being cautious. Have I said I love it? Yeah. Really do. Great purchase, and the difference in power usage will probably pay off the extra cost over just a few years. (that's a guess, not a calculated figure. Looking forward to comparing year-over-year energy bills). UPDATE May, 2015 - Maybe the people who are saying "OMG 5 HOURS TO DRY CLOTHES!!!" are looking at the "5:50" that comes up when you initiate a dry-only cycle, then not checking to see how long the machine actually runs. Yes, I suppose it could take 5:50 to dry something, but actually, that's the LONGEST it could take from the selected cycle. It's an adaptive cycle which reduces time by sensing the humidity of the interior of the drum. You might be done in an hour. The "5:50" isn't a helpful guide to what will happen. UPDATE 9/1/2015: Had our first problem, first warranty service a couple weeks ago. The drum lights on the machine went out. In all other respects, the machine worked normally. Took a couple days for the LG field guy to get to us. He arrived, took about 2 minutes to look at the machine, realized the problem, but didn't have the parts to fix it. Said the parts are "in the US, but they haven't been released yet", whatever that means. After a two week or so wait, the LG field guy got the parts, came out, installed in 20min. or so. The new lights are much brighter, and much whiter in color than the old ones, so I wonder if the first set was defective. I still am concerned that important parts might not be in stock when we need them; this repair provided a pain-free demonstration of that situation. The LG field guy was prompt, polite and competent, so that's a plus. My wife has done more washing lately, and says she can never get jeans right. My experience is different: don't over-dry them, and remove and fold pretty quick and you're good. Still love this machine. Works great for us. ============ An update a little past 12 months in: After a little more than a year, the washer is still going great, and the love for it has not diminished here. Really great appliance. Recently, I read that several installations suffer from a drain pipe that's placed so high that the washer won't drain its water. That does seem like a design flaw in the machine (particularly if other washing machines work just fine in the same space), and it seems like it'd cause the problems with extremely poor drying that others are seeing. Myself, I've had no trouble with the draining, or drying, and the machine works just great. My wife got me the 14" tall pedestal for the machine (which I'd guess can only help with the draining problem others have had) for my birthday, and it's really great to have the machine at a workable height. Don't know how I made it work without it now. For a post-installation install of pedestal, I recommend you get lifting straps (sold under many names; one that springs to mind is "forearm forklift") and a strong friend to lift, and another friend to position the pedestal under the machine. One thing the machine does poorly, is handle envelopes. Boxes of them. I can't recommend that you wash a full box of 60 new #10 business envelopes in the machine (including the box), along with whatever you've had the couch covered in, though we _have_ tried it, entirely by accident. Quite a mess. I cleaned the machine's tub out the best I could, and paid special attention to all the nooks and crannies around the door gasket (lots of pulp in there), and I ran a tub-clean cycle, while I shook envelope bits and paper pulp off of the couch cover over the deck in back of the house. Soon enough, the machine showed an "0E" error (which I supposed might mean: "0uch! Envelopes!") and I checked the manual: the machine can't drain water. I pulled the filter drain hose and tried to drain into a bucket, then pulled the filter, which turned into a little flood: recommend you have several buckets and a friend handy when handling this kind of problem. The filter was packed with grey paper pulp, which I cleaned out. I ran another empty cycle on tub clean (no 0E error this time), cleaned a few remnants of pulp from the filter and found more in the drum and on the door gasket. I chanced a load of laundry (grey to match the remaining pulp), and made it through fine. A number of loads later, the machine is still going strong, appears to have shaken off the envelope episode like a champ, and without a service call. Big props to it! UPDATE 5/14/2016 - data on the humidity question. I've been asked whether the machine makes the house more humid, and kind of fumbled for a response (generally, no, it doesn't). Here's a data point from an experiment: I borrowed a hygrometer (an Oasis musical instrument hygrometer, which helps musicians care for their wood instruments by measuring humidity and temperature and recording minimums and maximums - you can buy one on Amazon). After about five minutes of settling time in our kitchen (a good proxy for the rest of the house), no laundry run that day, humidity read 53%. I moved the unit into the laundry room/pantry (about 9.5' x 11', door open, also a freezer in the room) and let it settle there for a few minutes while I loaded the washer. Again, baseline at 53%. I set a four hour delay and ran the laundry (mid-size load of jeans) overnight. In the morning, the recorded max on the hygrometer was 57% humidity. By the time I came to look at it, the room had returned to 53%. I remain convinced that people who are having disastrous humidity or wet clothes problems are suffering from the reported installation issue where the drain pipe is too tall for the machine to effectively drain water. Yes, I think that's a design flaw in the machine, but one that can be worked around at installation time, if the installer knows about it. Only one data point, but some data is better than none. Hope this helps! UPDATE: Over 2 years in, still love the machine. We were out of town for a few days, and the display said "CL" and the machine wouldn't take any input at all. I was very worried. This symptom didn't show up in the manual. I looked it up on line. "Child Lock". The door was locked and it's not supposed to take any input in this state. Easy enough for a grown-up to turn off. What I imagine happened is that there was a power-cut while we were gone, and Child Lock comes on as some kind of safety feature or something. Everything's fine - machine's still running great! ---- Update 11/19/2018, about 3-1/2 years of ownership: Just a little trouble... The machine was starting to dry clothes poorly. We began having to run an extra dry cycle. It'd been falling off for a while now, and I decided, since it was out of warranty, and I'm pretty handy, to get inside and have a look. I suspected a lint clog in the air system (thanks to one of my much earlier respondents below, who suggested cleaning this out annually - I had not done so). I made CERTAIN that the machine was STONE-COLD (there's a heating element in there that could've messed me up, even when unplugged, if it was still hot), and UNPLUGGED from power before I started. The lid came off the machine pretty easily - two screws at the back, I slid the lid backward and off. You can see the heating element and blower motor in the first top-off picture. They have their covers on. I carefully took off the covers, unplugging the blower motor by pinching the sides of the connector, and carefully cleaned the air circuit with a long flexible brush (called a refrigerator coil brush - got mine at an appliance parts shop years ago - I'd bet Amazon has them for sale, too). In the second top-off picture, you can see in the flashlight beam, the inside of the top of a tube that heads down to the bottom. Since I was going to clean out this tube, I had to take the back door off the washer and temporarily remove a black rubber boot from the bottom of the tube, so I wouldn't just cram the tube with lint. I got about a Tupperware salad bowl full of wet lint out of the tube, and reassembled the boot. At the top of the tube, you can see in the third top-off picture, there's a shiny silver sensor that my clean-out has uncovered, sticking into the tube. I believe that the trouble with drying was because this sensor was completely covered in lint. I vacuumed out the rest of the lint I could easily get, and reassembled everything, and ran a Tub Clean to get rid of any lint I'd knocked into the works. After the tub-clean, we ran a regular load of laundry on my regular setting, and MAGIC! Wonderfully dry clothes once more. This maintenance took me a couple hours - and would've taken less if I'd just made it a point to do so annually. The machine needed no parts, and I didn't need a service tech to fix it (N.B. - would've certainly called a tech if it was still under warranty - the "10 Year" warranty is on the direct-drive tub motor). I used a screwdriver (OK, and an electric driver for removing the screws pretty quick), a brush and a flashlight. The machine is back to its peak performance, and I'm still quite happy with it. Wish I hadn't had to maintain, but the maintenance was cake, and the thing still runs like a top, cleans great, and is, as you've seen if you've read the above review, a great fit for me. I'd certainly buy another if I needed to.

It works great! Take the other reviews with a grain of salt.

I bought this because my new place doesn't have electrical or gas service for a regular dryer. I read all the reviews here and on other sites and while generally very positive there were quite a few complaints about drying. I'm not sure what's going on for these people, but it's not the machine. I did the standard installation (drain pipe into a wash basis not low to the ground), and filled it up with clothes, jeans, socks, towels (just an assortment of things -- I'm a guy and refuse to sort). I put the detergent in and ran the machine and everything was dry and hot at the end. I've done this several times now and have now switched from "more dry" to normal because I stopped it with an hour to go on "more dry" to check and eveything was already perfectly dry. It's a great machine. Pricey but given that it's a dryer and washer in one, not too bad (plus it's really nice to just through clothes in and be able to come back whenever you want to dry clothes).

Excellent Investment!!

LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!!! Definitely a great investment!! I've read the reviews over and over before I brought because I was a little skeptical at first because of what people was saying about how this machine doesnt dry well. I can honestly say, I have a family of 6, 3 being teenagers and we use this machine constantly, never had a problem with the dryer!!!!Love Love Love this Machine. Love the fact it can be set to continue to dry once the wash cycle is finish!!

Still happy about this purchase after nearly 3 years

Functions beyond my expectations - I read the multiple complaints about the clothes not drying quickly enough, and the need to have a drain pipe that is only a few inches higher than the drain connection to the washer/dryer. I hooked ours up with trepidation since our drainpipe stands 30 inches or so off the ground, but wanted to see if it might work before making any changes and/or obtained any pedestals, and found that it drains fine, the clothes dry as quickly as I expect, and I love the fact that the clothes go in dirty and come out clean and dry (I also understand now the review stating the clothes have a fine steam on them - indeed, they feel slightly moist but as you pick them up and shake them, they are dry). ----------Update ----------- I was answering a question about this unit, and realized it's been nearly three years since we purchased it. I've had to replace the water pump once (mentioned in other reviews as well), and I agree that the lint trap is a really annoying feature. That said, the convenience of being able to put clothes in before work, after work, or when going to bed, and the next time I'm around the machine they're washed AND dried is an excellent time saver, not to mention it helps prevent mildewing clothes when I forget a load for a while. This washer/dryer is a game-changer, and I think most of the people who have negative reactions haven't seen that aspect of things. Put simply, have you ever wondered why you have to take the wet clothes out of one machine and put them into a different machine? What a waste of time, and unless you like to do "laundry days" what an imposing bottleneck on actual through-put! My clothes get washed and dried faster in this machine because it doesn't have to wait for me to switch the clothes out halfway through, so when I'm next available they are done. As for through-put, we have an active family of four that likes to travel, go camping, etc, and we have found that this can keep up with the load - the only exception being that after a week-plus long trip, when we get home there's a backlog for a couple of days (but that's still easy to do, and requires minimal effort to actually knock off since you don't have to keep visiting the machine).

Don't worry about the negative reviews this thing awesome and drys great too!

I'm rating this 5 stars, although there are some areas for improvement I think the 4 star rating on amazon doesn't give this washer the credit it's due. I read through all of the reviews and was really on the fence about it. I read several people having issues with clothes drying properly. I also saw the guy that added parts because his had a lot of steam coming from the small rear vent that was dripping off the cold water line. I reluctantly went ahead and made the purchase because of the other positive reviews. It's a washing machine/dryer combo that just makes sense. Now the drawback to this setup is of course you can't wash a load and dry a load at the same time. The drying also does take longer. However the convenience more than makes up for this in the right household. We are a family of 4, with a toddler and a 7 year old. This machine works great for our family. After reading through the reviews the common consensus is it doesn't work properly if the drain is too high. I have a standard wall drain mounted 36" from the floor. I decided to spend the extra money on the pedestal to not only bring the machine up for proper function of the drain, but also the additional storage and luxury of not having to bend over so far. This was money well spent, and the drain works perfectly without having to lower it. The LG sidekick also apparently works with it, which might be something useful for the right people. It's basically another small washer that mounts below the standard washer in place of the pedestal. This might be nice for athletic wear or something that can't go through the dry cycle. We usually just wash anything that doesn't get dried as a separate load. Generally a load takes about 4 hrs to wash and dry. I set a "Custom PGM" with our most used settings. So all we do is hit Power, Custom PGM, and start and it does it's thing. We like to use normal wash/ hot/Extra spin/normal dry, Turbo wash and Fresh care. Fresh care will tumble your clothes periodically for up to 19 hrs. I believe without fresh care it will do 4 hours of tumbling. To activate fresh care you hold the steam button down for 3 secs before you start the cycle. It can't be activated mid cycle. But it does store in the Custom PGM if you set that. Turbo wash uses jets on the washing machine door to spay the clothes, and apparently more efficiently clean clothes. LG's website says it saves 20 mins on a wash cycle. it does look pretty cool when watching it use the turbo wash. You can turn the drum lights on by pressing and holding extra rinse button for 3 secs. They stay on for 4 mins. As others have mentioned it has some fun melodies it will play when turning on or after a cycle is complete. The volume can be adjusted between low, medium, high and off using the signal button before starting a cycle. I do highly recommend a liquid fabric softener. Which it does have its own dispenser for. Clothes come out much softer and without wrinkles. Without the softener they seemed wrinkled and stiff. Crinkled is a good word to describe it. With the softener they come out perfect. They also have dryer balls, i've seen some made from wool that might be a good option. I've been considering getting some to try. The clothes are quite hot when a cycle is complete. Very hot. You do need to let the heat dissipate a bit, they wont burn burn you but they are uncomfortably hot. What we usually do is run the machine at night with the Fresh Care and the next morning the clothes are much cooler and don't have that hot humidity with them. They just seem like a normal load from a typical dryer. I do really love this machine but it isn't without a couple flaws that I gladly overlook. For one there is no lint trap other than one part of the drain behind a door on the front. This means there is fair bit of lint that builds up on the door and around the door seal. One person mentioned getting some wipes for this, I didn't really know what they were referring to until I saw for myself. So far we have used our hands or wipes, but I think a brush might work best. Also, the first time we used the washer it ended up getting a water stain streak on the door, and haven't found a way to clean it. I'm not sure how or what caused it. Maybe our hard water. But its only one streak. Not a huge deal but is unfortunate. Lastly the plastic window makes a lot of squeaking if you press on it. Sounds kind of cheap because of this, but its plenty strong. That's all I can think of at the moment. I'll update this as we use it and think of other things. I was a little worried it wouldn't dry to our satisfaction based on some of the reviews but it really does great at drying. So if you're worried it wont dry properly for you, stop worrying, the only thing you might need to look at is the height of your drain.

Love this machine

Love this machine!! Dries my clothes every time and I have a standard hook up with it draining into a laundry tub. It is not on a stand. The lint on the rubber seal is a pain to remove but worth it. What I love so much is that I never need to remember to switch the laundry. I'm horrible about that. If you don't mind doing medium loads more frequently rather than a whole bunch of laundry loads at once, this may be the unit for you. I didn't buy this combo because I needed a combo ventless unit. I just like the idea of having washer and dryer together in one machine. Shipping was easy, no problems at all. Oh, the other con of the machine is it does emit a rubbery smell when it's drying. I hope it will go away with time.

Great washer, works just as advertised. Read my comments for our first month with the machine

Myself and my fianceé moved into our new home where there was a washroom that measured exactly 54" wide, 32" deep, JUST enough room to squeeze two units side by side. The alternative was stacking the units on one side of the room. The issue with that was we would have to open the wall and reroute the dryer vent to higher up on the wall and across from where it currently sat. As new homeowners, not particularly handy with drywall and having enough expenses as it was, this wasn't much of an option for us but it seemed that it would be what we'd have to do. We began looking for dual units that would just cut it depth wise, but now the issue became the depth of the dryer vent pushing the would-be dryer out of the wall too far, and the doors of the units not all being reversible. As such, they wouldn't clear the door frame. One day in my search, I came across this type of all-in-one machine. Many people complained that the unit didn't dry their clothes properly, or enough, whereas others said that theirs dried perfectly. We were hesitant, but trusted that this was likely either user error (like not choosing the correct drying mode) or having the drain hose having to pump too high up to efficiently drain the machine. We decided to pull the trigger and give it a try, since now only having one unit allowed us to put it in the middle of the washroom and still have storage on either side, being ventless meant that it would fit depth wise and didn't require any work on the wall or vent behind it (or replacing the junky flammable tubing that came with the house to the external vent), and the timer allowed us to set the wash to go off overnight and be ready for us by morning. Problems solved! We've had it for almost a month now, and it works perfectly. The drain house is about 4 feet off of the ground, and we set the dryer to "more" when we put in a particularly large load. Just treat the machine like it's not an industrial washer and your clothes will come out fine. When they start to fill the whole drum, we run a load. The machine will spin a few times to determine the weight of the load, and then will estimate how long it needs to run for. For us, it's usually a 3-4 hour run, which again is fine when you can set the timer the night before and/or start a load in the morning, or afternoon. Hope this review helps!

What could be better?

We have had our LG Ventless Washer/Dryer for about a month now. We LOVE IT. Used it with the pedestal from day one, and as a result, have had clothes/towels/sheets come out dry. If we had a bigger house, or a dryer vent, we might not have chosen this because of the price. Frankly, we would have been missing out.
