User overview/review of LG model WM4000HBA washer and LG model DLEX4000B Dryer with LG storage pedestal model WDP6P, June 27, 2024
Like you, I thoroughly researched, compared and contrasted starting off with 6 choices. Through process of elimination I narrowed my search down to LG and Samsung in the same sale price catagory.
In total for the Washer and Dryer ($799 each on sale), storage pedestals ($299 each) warranties, new hoses, tax, delivery and installation I came in at $2570.50 all in. While the pedestals aren't necessary, to me they are a game changer. There are less expensive units and much more expensive units but for me, the decisions came down to many variables and decided this was the best bang for the buck. If they weren't on sale, I may have gone a different route on price factor alone, not because of features.
In this video I go over my initial, first impressions of the units, immediately after install. Samsung being a close contender ultimately lost out, coming in at second choice only because they didn't offer the front access to the drain and filter. The idea if pulling the unit out after every 30 or so loads was not something I wanted to continue doing. Back problems coupled with the overall weight of these machines made it necessary to eliminate that task entirely, sometimes neglected otherwise.
The turbo wash feature of this LG Washer is also an added bonus not discussed in the video, power cleaning clothes. The washer drum has jet nozzles all throughout, even on the "tumble fins". Having dogs, the hair and bedding that goes with that and along with heavily soiled clothes with dirt, grime, sweat and sunscreen, I wanted a unit I could trust to get items thoroughly clean without adding so many products to to the wash or multiple cycles.
The pre-wash cycle the LG Washer offers was also a huge selling point. I did have to give up one feature and that was the liquid soap dispenser found in other units but in all honesty, I had my concerns with a soap storage/dispensing washer possibly being a fail point or another maintenance item to address and it wasn't that high on the priority list.
This unit can be stacked, combined with a storage base or the optional LG "mini washer" unit that sits underneath.
First impressions are a 10/10. They look great, are easy to set up and take full advantage of smart home capabilities (though I may not use most of those features). Energy consumption and maintenance reminders through the app as well as end cycle notifications are definately a plus feature I'll utilize.
When I say these units are quiet, it's almost an understatement and again, while not high on my own priority list, it's a welcomed feature.
The first load of laundry came out clean and smelling fresh and were pretty soiled up. I'm looking forward to testing the Turbo Wash feature in combination with pre-wash.
Feel free to leave any unit specific questions you may have and I'll do my best to respond to each one of them. Happy shopping and buy these with confidence.
