LG 5.0 cu. ft. Mega Capacity Smart Front Load Electric All-in-One Washer Dryer Combo with TurboWash360 WiFi in Black Steel

I bought LG first washer/dryer combo when it first came out 20 years ago. It finally started making noises in the water drain pump that i could have ordered and replaced but i saw this new model that the drum load size was literally double the size of mine and i would like to was bed comforters every now and then. Plus it had way more options including wifi control and i realky like the auto detergent dispenser as it uses the correct amount every time. It even has an over suds detector that notified me when my wife forgot about the auto detergent dispensing and out of habbit poured a cup of detergent into the tub with the laundry and started it up. The unit automatically did an extra rinse and warned me on the app so that i could remind her just put in laundry don’t add detergent. And then the app notified me on another time that the drain filter needed to be checked and sure enough there was a business card that got left in one of my shirts that got stuck in the filter. Neat that the washer knew there was something not working optimally on the washer. It also tracks how many washes have been done before notifying you it’s time for a tub clean cycle. And the drying cycle is way better than on my original machine. And the turbo wash is way quicker cycle than what my old machine had. My only regret is not buying this new model sooner. But my old model worked so well for so long i knew i wanted to get another one and this model is better in every way.

It uses about half the electricity of the traditional washer and dryer I had. The AI wash and dry makes doing many small loads efficient. There are some caveats though: 1) it doesn't do well at all with oversized loads. 2) It doesn't like dissimilar items. Towels mixed with clothes for example. In this case the towels wouldn't be as dry as the clothes. We just keep things a little separate and there's no problem. 3) The lint trap needs careful cleaning. Reassemble it wrong and it will jam and possibly break when you next remove it. 4) The wash/dry takes longer than a traditional washer and dryer, but you don't have to move clothes to the dryer, so it works out. I had a problem with the lint trap (see #3 above) and contacted support via Facebook. They were very responsive and had the parts on the way the next day, free of charge. Three days from broken to fixed. Can't beat that. All in all I'm very happy with this machine.

Great for 1 person with small loads.

So we're about two months in with this W/D combo - Honestly, we don't love it - it's not quite the dream we had hoped or thought at first. It generally does as advertised though. It has its obvious advantages but several times now loads have repeated wash and dry cycles lasting nearly 7 hours - and nobody knows why; the machine is not coding an error. Additionally, everything takes longer and the machine does not scream reliable out of the gate. It's not like the old W/D pair where you can keep them rolling and knock out the laundry - one machine - one load at a time. Time is not your friend with the combo unit and may not have been a great idea for our family size (4). I don't want to under value AI control option - is a huge plus! If you're intentional you can take advantage of wash cycles over night - but on the whole - I don't think the W/D combo technology is quite ready to meet the needs of the average family. I'd wait a little longer. The combo is a Good idea for sure, but they still have work to do to optimize load sizes and cycle times for families. I will say, for small spaces or places that don't accommodate traditional units - highly recommend.

We really like this product. It's just absolutely amazing that you can put dirty laundry in, press a button and it comes out clean and dry. There are a few functional things that could be designed better. Mainly being lint vent collection system. This seems extremely difficult. It's a pain in the neck it's located on top of the machine and so you can't put a table or shelf over it. It is also difficult to empty. Another issue is that it insists on reminding you to put softener in the machine.. even if you do not like or use softener. But other than those two things I am absolutely completely thrilled with this unit. It is a solid buy and worth every penny that I spent on it.

One of the best washing machines I have ever owned.

I got the machine bc of the discounted price and bc it is LG. My 20 year old LGWD still works perfect but I always liked all in one combos and my old units will die eventually, maybe, so it's home. I'm use to these all in one units from Europe. The big size is a plus. I noticed the drum is pretty big too so drying clothes will be breeze not having wrinkles. People just need to get use to few different steps to care for the washer. I will get the sidekick too. Lucky to have room for all machines in my laundry room. Can't wait to use it.

You have to drain and clean this regularly and the clothes don’t come out dry. To wash and dry clothes takes up to 8 hours. Absurd
