Had that exact model in an Airbnb a couple months ago. I just set it oof and went about my day. When I came back my clothes was clean and dry. I didn't have to come back during the day to transfer it into the dryer. For someone who lives alone, this is perfect.

"theyre good for what they meant for" wish I could see a TV commercial as honest as this guy

We had this one. We found that it changed the way we wash. We started washing in the evenings and letting it dry overnight. The 10 kg load was significantly bigger than our previous top loader, so we did fewer washes. We spent a few hundred dollars extra on the underdrawer. Pros: 1. Takes a good sized load. Reduces the number of washes required each week 2. Can be run overnight or before going to work and come home to completed wash. Cons: 1. After nearly two years an internal hose broke and leaked all over the place. It was repaired under warranty. 2. After four years, the electronic unit died and the machine was deemed unrepairable. We had an extended warranty so they replaced it with another LG unit of the same value but that turned out to be washed only and different dimensions so had to throw away our base drawer unit. 3. This machine wrinkles clothes very badly, especially the dryer. Be prepared to iron everything and the wrinkles as so bad that ironing a shirt is painfully difficult. 4. The washer is so very heavy to lift, I can’t imagine that it is light enough to install in an RV. 5. Cycle with drying can be very long, even three or four hours. 6. Drying capacity is less than washing capacity, so if you dry, you lose the benefits of the larger capacity.

This guy is so honest about the machine I want to by from him right now.

i hate this device because it has doesn’t have a dry only cycle. i can’t figure out how to get damp clothes dry because the machine keeps dampening my clothes

I have this model (for a year). Yes, each load takes a long time, and I basically don't wait until the weekend when I am free to do my wash/dry. It does what I need-and I love it.

I bought one of these the larger model for myself and my husband who do 2 loads of laundry a week one for each of us and it is amazing when you forget to switch your loads from washer to dryer like we do

This dude is what a real salesman should be like? Am I right or what? Hats off.

I actually have this washer.. it's an older model.. For a single older guy this thing is fantastic.. But it has its limitations.. Can't overload it i and think it to dry a full load.. But he points out all the pluses and minuses.. His evaluation is 100% right on.. Great review..

We have this unit in our (very) small (part time) apartment outside the US - where apartments are tiny and expensive. We are grateful to have it. Even though it takes a long time to wash and dry, we've adapted and it's perfect for us. Lots of our neighbors have small washing machines, and dry their clothes outside or in their living room! Not for us. So . . .we will put up with the long wash/dry time; and small capacity. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video - or maybe I missed it - you have to empty the reservoir after every wash or dry. It's easy to do - and it's about a cup of water.

Hey Keith, My family has an LG WM3987HW, that my wife has been maintaining since it went out of warranty, three-yrs. ago. It is built to handle a much larger capacity. we can actually wash and dry a California King comforter in it. I paid to have a Certified LG tech $400 to look at the problem of it shorting out the fuse inside the washer/dryer (at $45.00 a pop for the limiter block) we used five of those little puppies. Every component in the washer has been replaced except opening the motor housing. He could not fix it, so LG gave us $400 for the washer and dryer we purchased in 2013. We've figured that if the company that built it can't fix it, we'll have to do it ourselves. We figure it is something inside the motor housing, as it only shorts out on the final stage of the full washer/dryer test. I've literally sat through three of these tests with the same LG tech from beginning to end, test ok. The tech leaves and the next day, the same fuse is blown. So, we changed the outlet supplying the 110VAC power to the LG machine. No help. All my wife and I can figure are that something is shorting the motor assembly, that burnt a component on the Control Board, that blows the fuse on the block limiter. If you've ever run across this problem in the past, it'd be great to hear from you, if not; once we find the solution, we'll let you know what we've found.

I have an older Lg Combo and I really love the machine. Now I choose, longer dry and it works. My model I don’t have to tell the machine to dry. It is a full size machine. I do wash blankets but don’t think I have dried a comforter. I love it.

my brother got this model several years ago and has been using it as his primary washer dryer for his family and it keeps up with everyone one fine and her three or four people using it for all the laundry and if you do laundry more often your clothes are always clean you don't have to worry about when you're going out that's dirty and I need to wash it!!! so I love them!!

I owned three of these over the last 20 years and for a single person they are great. I use only the 25 minute quick wash cycle, use just a fraction of the detergent top loaders require, and the dryer prevents mold from being a problem with the drum. The high speed spin makes the drying cycle irrelevant because I'll take shirts, pants, sheets out, hang them, and let them air dry so that I don't have to iron them. Towels, I let the dry cycle handle. If you use "ultra" fabric softener then the clothes don't stick together after high speed spin dry. I never had any problems with these units and sold them with the condos that I owned, and I'd not hesitate in buying another LG combo tomorrow.

This was so helpful. I moved into an apartment that has one of these and I thought I was doing something wrong. Drying takes forever. But it is an excellent washer.

I have one of these units and know a few people who also have it. The wash cycle takes about 50 minutes, which I find reasonable. BUT, if you have even one towel in the dryer it will take several hours for the load to dry. I just did a small load today with 2 towels and a few shirts and it took about 3.5 hours, maybe longer, to wash and dry! Many people I know, including myself, wind up hanging the clothes to dry. As the reviewer said, please do not buy this if you are looking for standard washer/dryer capabilities. You will be disappointed.

Ive had mine for about 4 years now and it works fine. I wash every other day washing clothes for myself and my daughter with no problems. You just have to do smaller loads. Mine takes about 2 hours start to finish.

watching while doing laundry with my lg front load washer💪🏼

I have had 2 of these and they are ideal for a small household, 1 or 2 people . The biggest drawback is the accumulation of lint which requires dismantling the top to clean about every 2 years. The lint really slows downs drying. My present machine is 3 1/2 years old and I either have to call for service or dismantle it myself due to lint build up. I do like the combo nature. Throw clothes in and cone back to dry ones. Note: clothes may be a bit damper than normal dryers tho my new unit gets clothes pretty dry.

I had this installed yesterday where there was a full size washer and no room for a dryer. It seems perfect for me as a single person who only wants to wash when I'm very busy and don't have 2 hours to sit at the laundromat. Of course, big loads and blankets we'll go to the laundromat. For me , this is a Time Saver because I can start it when I go to bed.

My only question is how this handles comforters. I would imagine it would take much longer However I’m wondering if it can handle a comforter on its own or not? Otherwise it would be perfect for my lifestyle

I own this for 8 years and I love it. I live alone so it suits my lifestyle. I use the dryer for linens and towels, my clothing I like to hang dry, however I can dry anything in this machine

I have lg washer and dryer i bought in 2015 so far nothing problem at all

Thanks and right on. We have one at camp, in our shop where we store our Camper, it's perfect. Does require the lint clean-out every few years but the new version may have solved that problem.

I bought the bigger model in 2017. I moved from a 2 level house to a cottage where I grew up. My laundry room is a closet so this fits perfectly. I love this machine but you have to clean the lint collector often or the washer will get clogged. I have 7 animals and live at the beach, so sand and hair are at a premium. Highly recommend!

This is my second LG and I can totally tell the difference. I love this machine. Two most important things is to READ the directions and the second things is that if you have 20 kids don’t buy it. You will be unhappy because it does not do large loads and you can’t change its mind by stuffing it full. The effects of doing so will be poor.

Thank you for the informative review and tech review. I was planning add these to my rental units, but now I will keep 2 separate units.

My routine before getting a combo: - Throw a blanket I rarely use in the washer... - Forget about it - Notice I have no clothes three days later... go to wash them, find the wet blanket still there, smelling like mildew. - Re-run it to clean the now stinky mildew blanket. - Forget about it... I could care less about the other cons... not having to remember to transfer and having a machine that is always ready to use because it takes the previous job to completion is worth everything.

Had one in a 550sqft service apartment airbnb im staying. Very handy. However it takes very long time. Wash+dry takes like 3-4 hours. But satisfied with the result. Space saving

I'm glad I watched this. i have thought about buying one of these.

I did NOT know about the spin only cycle thanks!

My plan is to just buy two of them. Then I have the same cleaning capacity but I don't have to remember to change the load 😂

This guy so honest.

I've had one of these for over 2 yrs. Pluses: Size, Convenience of set-it and forget-it, Vent-less! Con: Lint accumulates in the inside and sometimes is necessary to take it apart to clean the lint out of the condensing unit Overall, it is a life-saver. I wish however, there was an easier way to remove the lint. During the early 80's i had a whirlpool washer, that circulated the water through a brush, making it super easy to remove the lint.

Loved the midea one I had, very similar took 3 1/2 hrs to complete but, put dirty clothes in , clean come out no need to change over very nice simple. I’m looking at this as a alternative bc I sold that one awhile ago

This was a wonderful review and I think this Appliance will work for me because I'm single and honestly I don't wash much clothes I usually wear the same thing all the time LOL

I'm a single guy in a one bedroom apartment. I want to buy one of these units, put it on wheels, roll it up to the kitchen sink to empty the water. Now to get water into it would be the problem. I was thinking of adding a quick disconnect adapter to the back of the hot and cold of the unit. Then adding a flex line of the hot and cold to the bottom of the sink with shut off valves, this would quickly connect the water problem. Can you give me your thoughts?

I had one of these I think these need improvements big time,,, I can see this being the future of washing...

He doesn’t mention in there that this dryer doesn’t require a vent. That’s another reason why it takes so long to dry because it’s not letting moisture exhaust escape.

In England, this would be put in the kitchen. It would be used maybe once a day; loaded and set in the morning, it would run through the day. When the owner comes home they just unload it and put away the laundry. But due to the small load capacity, it would have to do another load the next day. Just part of the daily routine.

I have a washer dryer but from a different company and I love it. The drum is huge and you can put in a very big load of laundry. Mine takes around 2 hours 30 min to wash and dry a full load. It can wash and dry a small load in just 40 minutes. It's amazing.

I use a LG WM3488HW for 7 years, it takes big loads, no problem. the only weakness is the evacuation pump, it is much more convenient that dual washer and dryer. LG has fixed the firmware, it does dry automotically.

Keith! I had a great time watching the video, thanks for the review and I love your attitude!

Had one in an apartment. Wash and dry took 4 hours.

Thank you SO much for this! I couldn't figure out why my bedding wouldn't dry. I wish I lived wherever you are so I could purchase appliances from you!

I've used or tried to use many of these working in the middle east and Singapore. LG and other brands. I usually tried 3 sets of clothes (3 pants, 3 shirts, undies and socks) 5 hour cycles and still damp. I could never get them to work correctly. Hotel services even showed me how and then sometimes replaced during stays. Same story even with them working the machine for me. It became easier to take my clothes out to a local laundry. We have all LG appliances in our home, we love LG quality. Just couldn't get these combos to work.

I got one so far its amazing. We use as a Household washer and dryer with lots of laundry and it works great!

These units are super energy efficient and should be more widely used. If you wash regularly instead of waiting till you have mountains of clothes this unit is perfect and will save you money. It pulls heat from the air, in the summertime it helps us cut our AC bill. In the winter it's not as optimal but our cooling bill is more than twice our heating. One of the best qualities is the all in one. Have you even started a wash and forgot about it, came back and it smelled awful and you had to run it again? That was me almost ever wash, with this unit and an o3pure, those days are gone. Anyone telling you this is for students or campers is just trying to sell you two units instead of telling you to not let laundry pile up, throw some in here and there as you can fill a load and this will be your favorite washer/dryer.

A salesmen is always going to find allot of cons when it comes to selling you this all in one vs two separate units lol

“Great for RV’s and students” me knowing that this type of washer is super common in the UK 🤣 true!

Thanks. Possible just to use the dryer function without going through the washing function?

A​ huge issue is that this machine is larger than the dimensions ​listed​! ​You have to add almost 3in more for the ​depth​! Not even counting the hoses and power cord the machine is still an inch deeper than listed.​ The width ​Is correct but you have to add on space for ventilation. The key to getting completely dry clothes is to only have the dryer half full​, AND ​set the dry time for the dryer at 2 hours!​ ​We found that using the sensor​ settings​ always left the clothes damp. But on the timer after 2 hours the clothes came out very toasty and completely dry.​ ​W​e are also very careful about wiping the lint out of the machine after every use. That is kind of a pain but hopefully it will cut down on the reported annual need to take off the top of the machine to remove lint​. ​ We have this exact model. We bought it used 6 months ago and the folks said it was about a year old then. We use it almost every day and love it.

It works great for me. In a small apartment in NYC. Mine is a little bigger 4.3cu feet. I love it so far. But you gave a great review. Honest.

Keith you sold me! Putting this in my Rental!

I do find a washer and dryer combo appealing.

I am not Neil , great advice very wise , thank you for making this video .

I have this model. As with many new washing machines and dryers, it is impossible to choose exactly the type or time of wash you want. The manufacturers are only interested in reducing water use, not in producing something user-friendly. You are restricted to about 12 programmes, and you have to experiment to find one that's nearest to what you want.

Can you use just the dryer?

Looks awesome! He didn’t mention about how to drain or fill the water in it. Also, when it spins to drain, where does the water go?! Is there a lint screen built in it? Just feel he left out a few important information.

This unit takes extremely long to dry the clothes. It washes very good. I dried 7 pieces of clothes for 2 hrs and 43 minutes. The clothes were not dry. I had to hang out the clothes still. It is taxing on your electric bill. It is not ideal if you wash once a week. The con is that it doesn’t dry the clothes well at all.

Excellent information! Thank you so much for explaining how this works and the pros/cons.

ok. This is polemic, I was once totally against combo units. FACT, a washer separate and a dryer will be way more convenient as you can wash a load while drying the previous wash. well in Brazil these combo units as a huge hit and everybody dreams of having one. So I got one a couple of years ago as I moved to a smaller condo and let me tell you the pros I found: -these machines are extremely quiet and you can run a load during the night, so by the morning your load is dry and ready to fold; -they are super efficient and wash everything from comforters to suits, really no more dry cleaning bills; -uses very little water, which saves electricity for heating, soap and the actual water bill; -take up very little space, you can stack other things on top of your washer as it will vibrate to a minimum. how do I deal with the drying odyssey: the machine has lots of rubber, so for the first couple of months, your clothes will smell burnt rubber due to the high temp. so I didn't dry my shirts in the first couple of months. Now I do, though. I set the washing cycle and I add the timed drying cycle to the size of the load, half an hour for about four items, one hour for four items and a couple of pants or one hour and a half for half the drum or a full set of queen size sheet. After it's done I still wait another thirty minutes till complete cooldown and that has helped my clothes to complete the drying process. hence the capacity, you can only do a wahs+dry cycle with max the half of the total drum capacity. this machine is smart so I do small loads constantly. I totally love my LG.

Apparently combo washer/dryers are the standard in the UK. Of course, they have more power in their electrical outlets.

These Extractors (as they're sometimes called) are not designed to vent outdoors, but rather 'extract' dirt and rinse water to the drain. While that works in theory, it's not an efficient process - more than often leaving clothes damp. In humid climates this tends to cause sour or moldy clothing. I'd avoid one of these until they're vastly improved in design. Save yourself the aggravation and just buy a stacked washer/dryer unit.

Is there anyway to dry only or between washing and trying take out some clothes and let it do the drying after I take out some clothes?

My POS Samsung washer just died today! I only wash for me so this combo is top on my list!

I got to this video by chance but I love him

Great information 👍

1500 new. So we supposedly put men on the moon but we still dont have washer and dryer combos that will automatically wash and dry clothes.

How does it handle bricks?

Very informative, not interested but i was curious👍

very informative. Thank you

This guy is so honest. Give him a bells whiskey.

Wonderful video! Thank you!! Very helpful information on how to use this machine - which I could NOT before this video. The guides/company itself does not provide the information as well as this video. Question - does this machine DRY only as an option, and if so, HOW?

It doesn’t need a ventilation?

We are looking at these all-in-one machines as we have limited available space. What I need to know is Can I Wash Bedding (blankets, comforters etc.)??

I had one that was as big as a regular washer and it cleaned and dried great.. I am in the process of looking for another one. best washer I had.. some brands are not as well liked as others I didnt have an LG so no Clue how it works. I had no problem with the one I had and it was a used one from the time they first came out the family had it for years that sold it to me. I still want one.

Do clothes come out wrinkled?

This is a great review, oooh kay. Was actually really helpful, ooh kay. (seriously, oooh kay)

What about Whirlpool washer your USA Brand Whirlpool is

Crazy I thought of this idea back in the 1980's but never went further with it obviously someone else did

Thanks for video, now for sure I don't want this type. Great and honest video. Thanks

This man is a saint

Thats really useful - thanks Keith from Perth Australia!

No lint trap on these ? Looking for mention in the manual and found not a thing.

Why don't they sell the Asian and UK style ones here ? These machines work well if you use them properly most items can hang dry

How does this model handle powder or liquid laundry detergent? Also, if you add liquid fabric softener? Clean out your dryer lint often. 🎉

Do you have any kits to set it up to be used on the sink line instead of typical washer dryer hook up

Thank you millions for that !

Line dry in the sun and wind is healthy, energy saving and eco friendly

Iys a nice washer and dryer bit not for a family of 4 or more drying takes so long.

Still didn’t find out how to use dryer only. ☹️

When pressing down a special key it plays a little melody

This is good for small units and tight spaces. If have enough space get a washer and a dryer separate.

He mentioned "kid going to college and they need a washer/dryer in the dorm room" twice. A ) Basically zero traditional dorm rooms will have room for that machine. B ) They won't have running water, that's in the hall or a bathroom. C ) Dorm rooms are tiny. Even at high-end universities they come with twin-xl beds with minimal space. You're not finding room for a washer/dryer in there. D ) The washers and dryers are communal. Unsurprisingly, the washers and dryers will be separate machines (as those products are far superior if you have the room and proper connections). Maybe if you get a suite ($$$) but again, they won't have a water connection (likely just a sink) and why would you spend $2-3k to save $2/load when washers and dryers are provided? So make sure you actually... confirm it's within the realm of possibility before you impulse buy one.

What kind of hookups do I need? I have a laundry room downstairs but I hate going up and down. Can i put this upstairs or will need hookups and a vent outside?

great review

Does the washer or the dryer, someplace, have a filter? Can you program it to get wet with detergent and soak for awhile? Does the drying cycle need sheep wool balls?

boom! just discovered this. Thank you for this video :)

Well, my current set up takes 3+hours to wash, because Whirlpool freaking sucks. The stupid washer won't drain if there's so much as a sock out of place. The model we bought was even supposed to be "self-balancing!" 😂😭
