LG Smart Washer/Dryer Combo!

[@annavergara401]

My husband and i just started to airbnb our home so we just bought this washer in Mexico. I hope it works for my cleaning crew.

[@jacquelinejackie3613]

I actually own the same washer machine dryer where is size four family and I'm able to clean all our clothes and sheets in here perfectly no problem with the dryer whatsoever

[@johanyventura6669]

Does shakes a lot?

[@TopherTino]

Awesome review, definitely helpful for people considering this model and/or going tiny. I do often hear that these machines don’t dry, so extra thanks for including that information as well, for me that was the most helpful portion.

[@calstatelaalproductions2358]

Yeah some clothes come out immediately after the cycle and the humidity from inside makes them feel damp, but they are not. Bulky items and things like towels do take longer to dry though.

[@cybervanlife]

I'm happy you said it, but YESS this is a MUST HAVE for anyone doing a "van life" setup. it's perfect, I'm happy I just found out it even existed.

[@CarlosRuiz-vb4so]

Thanks !, very help full. Forgot to remove bolts rear of unit and was shaking bad. Hope it did not Damage the washer drum

[@1984mou]

Yes, the spanner is included. Washing machine was behaving like a wild bull. Lol

[@tanicedoman6092]

Thank you for the helpful review. A lot of people complain that it’s loud during the spin cycle/in general. Is this true with yours?

[@him3]

Thank you for your comment! Mine is not loud. Typically, if the machine is loud, sometimes it's unbalanced. Thank you for watching!

[@codakanjo6690]

I think im going to buy this now. I only wanted to know how good the drying side of it was and you where very helpful. Thank you

[@him3]

Thank you for your feedback Coda! it looks like there even going to be a newer model coming October 2020 but I’m not sure if it’s just something minor or major. thought this would be helpful since you’re looking to buy.

[@jbmartinez145]

@@him3 Great review. Should I buy this model or wait for newer model which is coming out next month? This model is currently on sale on Homedepot for $1300

[@him3]

JB Martinez If you have time to wait for the next month, would be better! Will get to find out what the new model features have and also the price might go down for the older model once the new one comes out.

[@truthup4364]

@@him3 Has the new model came out? I see the #WM3499HVA still for sale but not sure if that's the "new" model or one you're reviewing. Also how is the vibration when it's on fast spin? Thank You!

[@him3]

Thank you for your question 🙏 Yes, that model number ending in HVA that you mentioned and I have is the last one as of now, but a friend of mind that works in an appliance store showed me on the system that they are coming out with a new one. I just went on LG's website and I found a new model a bit different one that came out, it's called a WashTower one unit washer and dryer on top of each other. You can get dryer in electric WKGX201HBA or gas WKGX201HBA

[@agarcia4271gaming]

Tub cleaning powder is not made to be dispensed through the tray, you are supposed to put it directly into the tub. Also, the smart diagnosis feature is different from controlling the machine. It only checks the components of the machine.

[@him3]

Andy thank you for your feedback, I should have elaborated more on the tub cleaning & app. The powder or pods have to be put into the machine, but I was talking about the tub cleaning liquid. In regards to the smart app and diagnosis. When you download the LG ThinQ app you can check the status of the wash and stop the machine. You can also start the machine being away from but you have to press the remote start button for 3 seconds and put the clothes, detergent and how you would like to wash. And when you leave your home you can press start on the app.

[@agarcia4271gaming]

@@him3 yes, the remote features are through wifi, but the smart diagnosis is only to diagnose problems, which you can do without wifi.

[@thinktoomuchb4028]

So the dryer aspect is a condenser type? I have an old 3.22 cu ft. model. With these units, the condensing duct inside gets clogged with lint and the unit will not dry. After 4-5 years, I had to remove the top, unscrew the blower motor and clean out the duct with a Zip-It tool. Good machine, otherwise. Mine is ~15yrs old and finally needs replacing.

[@him3]

Thank you for your feedback & question. Yes, it’s a ventless condensing dryer. I had it for over three years now and no issues yet 🤞I will be sure to do that if that does happen. I prefer to use the dryer, but my wife likes to air dry the clothes.

[@him3]

Also wow that’s awesome you had it for 15 years, planning to do the same with this one. Will keep you posted!

[@richie1359]

Is there a lint filter like in a dryer? I know you showed the “filter” at the bottom right of the machine, but my current washer has that. It’s to prevent large items (say a paper clip, which I’ve found in my machine in that lower right hand filter) from getting caught further along the water drain. Im just curious where the lint goes during drying. A repair guy on KZbin says they start out drying well but after a while they need to be serviced on inside to clear out junk so that the dryer keeps working well. Thanks

[@KelleyMDraine]

No there is not. Since this is steam it recycles the air it uses. Therefore, you don’t have to route a heat or lent filter.

[@bevbs2001]

Does your machine still work? I had this same machine and it only lasted a year and a half. It kept getting me a dryer error. The tech came out 2 times to change the fan than came back to change the computer board and it still had a error. I had insurance so I got the LG washer tower. I love that washer and gas dryer.

[@him3]

Thank you for your comment and for watching! Yep, it still works! I'm sure LG made the new models better!

[@bevbs2001]

Great glad your machine works. Thanks 😊

[@sahofoodies]

Can u do a video how to use the dry part please? Also how to wash +dry too. Thank you

[@rafaeldelgado4985]

Just pick a cycle then go to panel and add dry.

[@calstatelaalproductions2358]

I just posted a detailed operation guide for the larger model the 4.5 cu ft version. The dial and touch panel are different, but I assume the process to dry and add dry to washes is very similar.

[@newyorktirestowing5238]

I feel bad that I had to remove my LG washing machine from my apartment bc it not permitted. Thanks for explaining the Steam feature. I have had my machine for two years a barely used the wash*dry option 1 it took about 2hrs for the cycle to complete. And after completion the clothes seemed to feel a little wet, i guess that's the steam feature. Now i have it for sale :(.

[@dreamingcode]

Most people are asking about drying time it's a good review but I would like to know how long does a wash and dry cycle take all together?

[@him3]

Thank you @dreamingcode for watching and that is a good question. So depending on wish mode you have the machine in, but for me I mostly do a quick wash (30 mins) with one hour drying so a total time of one hour and half.

[@KelleyMDraine]

This would be my only negative on this washer/dryer (I have it as well) is the drying! Like it takes forever to fully dry.

[@dondamon443]

When you started the video you should have mentioned the model # first. I was looking for the WM3998HBA which is the 4.5 cu ft model. But I think the rest of the video was well done.

[@him3]

Thank you for your feedback, will try to edit this video and also implement on feature videos! Also have you seen the new LG Single Unit Front Load LG WashTower™ with Center Control™ 4.5 cu. ft. Washer and 7.4 cu. ft. Gas DryerWashTower WKGX201HBA they also have an electric dryer version WKEX200HBA.

[@HassArtsLLC]

Did drying start automatically AFTER the wash or do you manually have to start the drying process?

[@him3]

Yes drying starts automatically after the wash as long a you add the dryer cycle before you start. Thanks for your question & thank you for watching!

[@SalmanSalman-iy3os]

Hi. How long will it take to dry a maximum Load? . thank you.

[@DMariaLR]

Pretty convenient thank you for sharing . Would this size washer fit a twin size quilt or blanket?

[@him3]

Yes it should, but I would not put anything bigger than that, also I would not put anything else with it. Thank you for watching!

[@axlejoyeux6408]

I opened the part at the bottom that you twisted with lint and water came out... is this normal?

[@janinel2356]

Can I get your advice for my specific situation? I have space for separate units but am tempted to get this so I have the freedom to use the extra space however I like (maybe even as a mini server room some day). I'm not worried about the smaller loads since I don't need to do laundry very often anyways. Would you say the use and maintenance (draining it and the lint on the door) of this unit is annoying enough that you'd recommend people only buy it if they truly Can't buy separate units? I'm so torn! Help!

[@him3]

Hi Janine, thank you for watching & commenting! In your case I do recommend you getting a washer & dryer combo, but since this video has been done over two years ago I also recommend you to look at all these top ten washer dryer combo reviews 2022. www.toptenreviews.com/best-washer-dryer-combos Keep us posted on which one you like, they are all good in different categories!

[@ShaferHart]

Thanks for doing such a through review. I'm wondering: how much noisy does it make? Some reviews on the LG site say it's very noisy. Also does it move around too much? Some complained about that. Thanks.

[@josemartinez-vf9tk]

I just got these a couple of days ago and after doing 3 loads their not very load the loudest part is the washer when it’s doing the final cycle it sounds like it’s moving the whole machine

[@KelleyMDraine]

It’s SILENT! Amazingly silent! The only noise you may hear like previous commenter said is when it’s finishing it will vibrate a bit but very shortly.

[@ksfs09]

Does it rattle much when spinning?

What wattage uses does it needs its own circuit?

[@petermaz701]

[@ethereal1257]

I'm really glad I watched this. The size and features seemed attractive but this is far too much maintenance for me and withe the filter being all the way at the bottom like that and cleaning the inside of that rubber. Nope.

[@DomCTBG]

Is it very loud on the spin cycle? Can you show that please? no one has covered that in their reviews and it would be great to see! :)

This is probably a stupid question but is it fine to put the detergent bottles directly on top? I don’t have shelves

[@him3]

There is no stupid question, yes you can put the detergent bottles on top of It and I had many things on top for almost a year the machine is still working as new! The only thing I would make sure the machine is leveled so when it does the drying cycle nothing falls off. Thank you for watching and thank you for your question.

Hey I just got these a couple of days ago and I’m not sure how or when to put detergent and fabric softener or how much to put in I just moved from home and bought these so it’s my first time washing at home and I have no idea what I’m doing

[@arturoespinoza2371]

The best bet would be to read the manual and the label on the detergent and fabric softener. Put it in the fabric softener and detergent before you start the load. When you open up the compartment for the detergent and softener do not fill it past the fill line! Hoped this helped feel free to reach out if you need any more help, hang in there man!

[@royjais7391]

Hi,i have same machine like your,and been using for 3 month,i just realize it shake at the end of drying,is that normal?

Yes it does shake during drying at the end, to minimize make sure the machine is well balanced by using a leveler tool. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching! 😊

[@sarasingh702]

My clothes come out super wrinkled. Any tips? Also does the wash dry cycle take 4-5 hours on your machine?

[@him3]

Thank you for your question! What helps is to put less clothes, that should help with the wrinkles no matter which mode it is in. We typically use quick wash or normal, depending on what clothes. We sometimes have to use a anti-wrinkled spray or iron. For drying we typically use quick wash plus 1 hour of drying. We also sometimes like to air dry our clothes.

[@JA51711]

I just got one a d it's bounding around and vibrating and I'm waiting for feedback from the company. Was yours spinning hard and vibrating?

Great question! When we balanced the machine it stopped vibrating and only does that during the drying cycle but not bouncing around. Thank you for watching!

[@tsangj]

​@@him3 a follow up question, about how much electricity does the machine uses per month you estimate? for about a load a week for washing and drying? thanks for your help!

[@him3]

@@tsangj Thank you for your follow up question. On average we (my wife, baby & I) spend about $85 (500 kWh) per month that includes our heating, cooling and lights (everything except oven cooking) in our one bedroom. Also we do wash our clothes about three to four times a week. So if I had to estimate just the washer/dryer I would say It would be about $1 a month. The Energy guide estimates you will spend $14 a year if you wash six times a week. In your case if you just use once a week it would probably be like 25 cent a month.

[@tsangj]

@@him3 this is much appreciated - thank you for your time!

[@joey.chavez333]

How did you do the testing the washer? Mine delivered today. Same model and page 17 says load with 6lbs/14 shirts then turn on turn knob to right but doesn't say what to select on knob then press rinse+spin button but nowhere does it show that option lmfao

[@him3]

good question we turned the knob to the right to use the drain and spin option. I think the manual has a little error with the words or it was referring to a similar LG model.

[@auragasmic]

The wash and dry function consumes a lot of energy. My electric bill was high

Lint collects in the rubber boot area where the door closes on. Also in the bottom door, there is a black cylinder that unscrews to the left. Just take it out and clean the lint from that. Put the cylinder back in before doing further loads.

[@dianageorge7955]

This is by far the worst machine I owned! It’s very poor quality. It never, ever fully dries anything and it takes about 8 hours to do a load of 4 kilos of clothes. Also, some clothes come out so wrinkled. And of course it wastes a lot of energy with the very long cycles. It’s really a product that shouldn’t be in the market. I reached out to LG and mentioned that I’m really disappointed with the product and wanted to return it they dismissed my concerns although I only had it for one week! Don’t waste your money

[@him3]

Thank you @DianaGeorge for your comment & for watching. I think four kilograms is too much for this very small machine. Try more like one kilogram to three max that will help with the drying and wrinkles. You might want to try their newest machine that has a separate stackable dryer. Where are you located, I might want to buy it since you can't return it.
