Awesome, Thanks for the update! Happy to hear these units are doing well, especially the dryer. Most electric dryers struggle to get things dry like my Samsung. But then again 9.0cu.ft is plenty room for comforters to stretch out and get completely dry. I’m still deciding between G.E. Or LG. I have a huge laundry room but don’t want my space taken away, so I’m deciding on size as well. Anyways, can’t wait for the two year update! 😂
@Thissandthat11 ай бұрын
Yes the dryer is definitely underrated. It works so well at low temperatures. I am almost scared to turn it to medium or high 😂! I know I’m definitely biased, but I would steer away from G.E they have some cool designs and innovations, but they aren’t direct drive and most of them are made in China. Unfortunately GE Electrolux used to be some of the best washers around but unfortunately GE was sold off to a Chinese company after going bankrupt essentially. My brand new kitchen set is GE. And the electronics in the microwave are already acting up 😭

Get the LG, it’s definitely a much better all rounder than GE
@insideout265295 ай бұрын
I would avoid GE - their electric dryers have been known to trip circuit breakers (not their own!). GE technician said he gets a couple calls a week on this issue. I ended up returning mine, and got these LG units.

I just purchased the same washer. You have really excited about my purchase. I did a lot of research just like you did on this washer and others and so far this is my pic I was wondering the app download is a pretty complicated or is a pretty easy to do to customize my loads.
@Thissandthat9 ай бұрын
I found the app easy to use. Unfortunately, you cannot customize cycles or create your own cycles. You can, however download extra calls that are not on the display. I downloaded a cycle called Econowash, and use it almost every day! Congratulations on your purchase btw! I’m sure you’re going to like it

Trying to decide if I should go with the front load. Always had a top loader. The number one complaint is the mold and funk you don’t clean out the rings. Somebody said when it’s on a spin cycle, it also rattles around quite a bit. Is that true?😊

My current Whirlpool front loader has holes in the very bottom of the door gasket that allows any water to drain away after the wash. You mentioned having to wipe yours out. I never have to do that because the water is gone when my washer quits. Are there any holes in the bottom of your gasket? Is there any water left in the gasket area after your washer shuts off?? Asking because my 15 year old Duet set is on it's last legs and not sure about the current Whirlpool reviews and their build quality decreasing. Thanks.
@Thissandthat7 ай бұрын
Hi! Yes it technically has 4 drain holes. I noticed a very small amount of water pools up here and there, small enough to usually evaporate after a day or so, but I just go ahead and wipe it out of abundance of caution, and my OCD 😂! The old duets were good units! But you’d LOVE and new LG! Thanks for watching

Nice video! 🙂 Do you think you would ever go back to a top loader one day? I've always heard from people online complaining how front loaders don't use enough water to clean and I was wondering if that's true. I thought frontloadets would clean better since the clothes are agitated more by the tumbling but I only ever used a frontloader so I have nothing to compare to. Thanks!

I am getting just the washer for 1050$ from costco plus there is a 40$ rebate, is that a good deal. I thought about getting the WM6500 but a reviewer on LG said his blew up with all the pictures (looks scary) plus controls are all through the knob to see all the different loads. Unfortunately I have the DLEX4200W which is white and will be 1.5 inch shorter than the the wm8980 (from costco). also dryer door is round.

Hi what’s your opinion on the new ge ultra fresh that dries the inside after each wash?
@Thissandthat10 ай бұрын
Hey! I think it’s more of a marketing thing, than anything. Maybe if you live in a space where you cannot keep the door open or cracked it might be the perfect washer, but in most cases it’s unnecessary. I think also, you have to manually turn it on after each wash cycle, it’s not like it automatically is drying itself from my understanding? I don’t like about that washer is the large exterior dimensions. Even though it has the same or smaller drum size, then say an LG or a Samsung. They are just big! We rented a house last fall on vacation with those units and I was surprised how large they were.

Hello how are you I have read quite a few different places where most of the LG front loading washers the 8100 to 6700 to 8900 Etc are very rough on delicate clothes even when on the delegate cycl? I am considering to purchase the 8900 model but was just curious about that.... Thanks a lot

Hi! Some of LGs have the aluminum paddles in the drum, this one has the smooth plastic ones. I have not found anything seem worn or any concerns. The downloaded hand wash/wool cycle is EXTREMELY delicate. I would feel confident with my clothes lasting for years and years to come

When I finally get my washer set I will inform the group. There was a family that had the 8900 Series washer and dryer that the purchased from Lowe's with an extended 3-year warranty and the only wanted 1500$ for the set and was only 45 days old,. They purchased it and will not fit in their laundry room. But at the time I was not sure about washers and I missed out on the deal, damn! I also went to my local Lowe's because they are having a super sweet deal sale. I inquired about the 8900 series and found out that they were out of stock, therefore they cannot honor the sale. * as a side note, I feel like something's telling me not to get the 8900 series because that is twice I'm missing out on a great deal ?!! However they were loaded up with the matching dryer. The salesman said 8900 washer is out of stock, which may mean they are probably stopping production of the 8900 series, who knows?! After searching and searching for a similar set like the 8900, there is the 6500 and the 6700 series. Which they have the center control dial, (similar to the Google nest) and I do not like that because there was too much going on for one little dial! I decided to call LG and got connected with a technician. I asked him about the 6700 and the 6500 series. I was told that that Center dial has a lot of glitches and programming issues, that people call in about... I guess I will still try to go for the 8900 set, but the twiced missed deal is really bothering me andI cannot get the wm8900 out of my brain! By the way, it was USA Today, that I read that the 8900 has a very rough delicate cycle? However I trust you with your experience! I know the comment is long and I did not edit I hope you can understand thank you

@@bradleypennington19 oh wow you did miss out on a deal! I wanted to let you know they have slightly updated the model that I have and is now called wm8980 so that’s why you might be having a hard time finding it! Also! I bought mine at Appliance 4 Less! Check if one is in your area. I got a good deal and I am very happy with my experience with them.

@@bradleypennington19 also, what washing machines are you coming from? For myself I came from a whirlpool, Cabrio HE top load with the wash plate instead of an agitator. That thing was rough on my clothes, even though they said it wasn’t supposed to be 😂! I actually love the perm-press cycle. It uses a good bit of water, it’s fairly short around 32 mins and gives a great wash and rinse. I don’t think you can really go wrong with LG. They have laundry down to a science. I have a 10 year old LG that’s 4.5 cubic ft in my garage, it’s got the same drum paddles. Honestly the smaller older LG still holds a good amount. If I had to buy again heck I might even go for an LG 4.5 ft with turbo wash.

The normal cycle is one of the cycles that is weighed, so it depends on how much clothes you put in. But I would say usually within 30-40 minutes. You get a thorough, rinse, as well as a spray rinse on the normal cycle. 🔁
