Smart LG Washer and Dryer LG 3500 vs LG 3700 vs LG 3900 Features

[@3811eric]

I just bought an LG washer and love it!!!!

[@MichaelCoxRN]

Bravo! Well done, easy to follow, never got lost of confused

[@debilipetz7531]

if the turbocycle on the 3900 cuts the time in half from 60 to 30 minutes, are you saving electricity and water?

[@BOS2AUS]

This was really helpful. Thanks.

[@MariaLopez-zw2bs]

Hi do you think you could show us how to set it up to the LG app thank you 😊 couldn’t find any help on how to do it

[@powderdog67]

I'm currently looking for a new front load washer and I see there's also a 3800 in there how does that fit in? Also I've never asked a question in this format before how do I know when you answer it? For that matter how do I know when you answer my second question about answering my first question, okay now this is getting ridiculous.

[@bearfoxwolf]

In 2021 I'm comparing with the 4500 which has the stainless steel tub, and otherwise seems equivalent to the 3900. But can't find comparisons.

[@JohnMcMahan5]

Great video. Do the turbo jets run some fresh water through them toward the end of the cycle to clean themselves?

[@blackice7408]

Can u do a comparison vid between the 4200 and 4500 lg washer

[@blackice7408]

@@twennywonn they both have 5.0 cubic ft of space. The 4500 tho is the one that has ez dispense

[@adamg.1845]

Thinking of buying the 4000B dryer this weekend. Are you still loving the dryer?

[@OneHourSmartHome]

Yes, been great no issues.

[@adamg.1845]

Someone told me today lg parts are hard to get. Do you know anything about this claim?

[@daver20007]

I have what seems to be a rare model the 3800. I think it's a 3900 minus a turbo nozzle. Cause I still have turbo wash. If I'm not mistaken the 3500-3900 parts would fit except maybe a liner? Do you know anything about this model?

[@anizares1]

I've got a 3600 series.no mention about that one?

[@albarghouthy]

Exactly what I was looking for. Decision made. Thanks a lot

[@peaceroshan]

Which one u bought? And how is it so far?

[@rickydou]

Is the WM4500 serie very different?

[@elindafkiss2499]

what are the advantages of the LG3600 vs the LG3500? if one does not have allergies, does he/she need the LG3600? Does the LG3600 clean better than the LG3500? Does the LG3600 steam function act like an iron to steam press clothes?

[@deplorablechump8758]

Does the steam function on the 3900 dryer require a separate water faucet? Or you can install a T connector?

[@ericdolby1622]

why are the ones in the stores labeled 3400, 3600 and 4000

[@elmalai1883]

Is the 3900 washer as reliable since it is newer and maybe not as tested.

[@ryanr.5458]

Dude, thanks for making this video! Where does the WM4000 fall in line?

[@workflow1024]

Yeah! I have the same question. I cannot find any differences between the 3900 and the 4000 model

[@workflow1024]

I did some digging. The WM3900 has been discontinued. The WM4000 is the replacement. From what I can tell they are identical.

[@horaciocastillo1435]

@@workflow1024 Today Feb.27 2021 my niece went to Homedepot to buy me an 3900 model and they do not have this models anymore. Instead it ws offered the model MW4000HWA for delivery in April. It was ordered even when at this time do not know what is the difference. Any info into this matter will be appreciated. Thanks.

[@workflow1024]

@@horaciocastillo1435 hey! So my above comment is wrong and I will need to edit. After further extensive research- I just bought the 4000 model. However the 4000 model DOES NOT replace the 3900. The 4000 mode does have a better steam feature compared to the 3900. BUT the more true replacement of the 3900 is now the 4200. Idk why they did this jump in numbers. The 4200 is the Cadillac. The soap dispenser works automatically and you only need to refill it once for up to 18 loads (same for the water softener). The 4200 is also .5 cubic feet larger than the 3900 and 4000. The stainless steel drum in both the 3900, and 4000 have been modified for the 4200 so that the fins are also stainless steel instead of being a durable plastic. The 4200 seems to be about 1/4 inch taller than the 3900 and 4000 series. The 4200 also has these pretty cool rubberized handles for the soap dispenser and the door to open the washer door. The 4000 model drops the wash setting for “sportswear” from the 3900, but had improved artificial intelligence when starting the washer. This is pretty cool because you can just star the washer on a normal cycle and the washer will weigh/spin your clothes to detect the type of fabric and wash appropriately. The 4200 keeps the sportswear cycle. All that being said, my wife and I chose to go with the 4000 model. It does WAYY more than we need, ranked top in consumer reports and it’s much more cost effective. We picked up our set for $800 each this past month. The 4200 is on sale rn for $1100 a piece. That’s $2200 for a set... on sale and they have the same Drive motor as the 4000. PLUS on the 4000 you can still use the download feature through NFC on your phone. This will still allow you to run the sportswear function. The 3900 mode is discontinued. Hope this helps!!! Just respond if you have any questions or want to touch base as I’m happy to help.

@@workflow1024 Have not words to tell you how much your answer is appreciated in this end. THANKS a MILLION

[@TheTCOLL]

Why can't I find anything on the 3850?

[@DoogieDoggie]

I have the 3700 and love it. I was able to hook my washer up to the wi-if but can’t hook the dryer up to wi-if. It says I need to register the dryer but when I go to my account it says it’s registered. I’m at a loss as what to do.

[@781luis]

Need to update the firmware on the dryer up. Use a seperate wifi connect 2.4 like a mobile hotspot to set it up from scratch, once you do that update the firmware then redo it all again and it should work

[@gdb7]

Very well explained, thanks from Brazil!

[@sergiuplamadeala9322]

hi there, what is depth of your laundry closet? Is there enough room for the vent hose? Mine seems about 37 inch depth from door to wall, little concerned it wont fit properly, to be able also close the door. Thank you

[@OneHourSmartHome]

Depth of my closet it 46". The depth of the machine from back wall to furthest protruding piece was 39" I have the units pushed pretty far back to the point that there is not much more room behind them. I don't know if you could make 37" fit with the dryer venting unless you had some kind of low profile mount.

[@rupinderkaur1926]

Is there air dry option in 3500 model

[@elfinaehrig9937]

does the lg 3500 have sanitize cycle

[@OneHourSmartHome]

The 3500: bestbuy.7tiv.net/WBDqJ does not have steam or the sanitize cycle. Both the 3700: homedepot.sjv.io/62beQ and the 3900 : bestbuy.7tiv.net/nD1LV have steam and the sanitize cycle. The biggest difference between 3700 and 3900 is that the 3900 has turbo wash which can clean your clothes is 30 minutes or less when selected.

[@andreal.6276]

Nice review. The one thing I haven't been seeing much is a comment about how the washer holds up, smell-wise. I have a Samsung washer (for over 8 years) and while the washer/dryer still works, I cannot take the odor. I leave the door and detergent draw open all the time (which I hate), have used Tide or Affresh washer cleaner or the build-in feature, have wiped down the gasket and drum but it's still there. Was in Home Depot yesterday and my eye was drawn to the very pricey, GE® 4.8 cu. ft. Capacity Smart Front Load ENERGY STAR® Steam Washer with SmartDispense™ UltraFresh Vent System with OdorBlock™ and Sanitize + Allergen. Sure, the vent system may just be a marketing feature but I haven't seen that around. Too bad though because it's 28" wide and I literally can't spare that extra inch.

[@larrybibey757]

I have a LG 3700 washer and dryer for almost 1 year and the washer has a magnetic plunger on the bottom of the door that can hold it open about 1 inch and it does a great job of keeping odors away

[@krissyd3391]

What is better do you think the LG or Electrolux front load?

[@OneHourSmartHome]

I've never tested the Electrolux but I'm happy with my LG!

[@tammir6236]

Although, you most likely have purchased your appliances, I thought it was important to share my experience-- I would advise against Electrolux… we have the dryer model EFMC627UTT {& matching washer -the washer is NOT quiet by the way} NIGHTMARE. From the very first dryer load, garments were getting snagged on the faulty lint trap.. pulling garment fibres apart etc. skip to 4 months later, presently, the lint trap got pulled out of its compartment, tumbling around in drum, causing articles of clothing to sit/block lint compartment, as well as a sock got wound around/underneath another component. I was alarmed by a burning smell AND the sound😳.. had I not been home, there’s no doubt in my mind that would have started a fire. I call the customer service #, they send you to website, then when I did find an alternate number, the CSR put me on hold to see what she could do.. ya, well she never came bk😡, call dropped 12 min later. Tried again, call dropped. Sent emails, Facebook, Instagram No response. I can’t even get a service ticket. I did some online research.. well,well,well.. SO MANY ppl have the same issue and some even caught fire. EFMC627UTT, I believe is being discontinued & They ‘ve changed the design of the lint trap.. but NO thanks. Lawsuits, complaints, NBC NEWS Reported bk in 2016 of a similar issue. The dryer is a safety and health hazard. THANK goodness LOWES Canada came to my rescue. They went an extra mile for me, and for that I’m grateful!

[@Slickmanb]

I have the 3700 and want to use the steam feature but am not sure where to add the water to the unit, can anyone please point me in the right direction.

[@ushaperinkulam]

Do I need to add a separate waterline for steam washer and / or dryer models?

[@OneHourSmartHome]

No, there is a y fitting that should come as part of the kit with the washer and dryer that splits the incomming water line into two hoses for connecting to both the washer and dryer. If its not with you kit just get a y adapter for your existing line.

[@jiggygino2855]

If you actually watched the video, he did answer this question.

[@paulbrncik804]

Was wondering of the height on the washer and dryer stacked ,and ease of reach for 5ft 2 wife?

[@donnasantamaria8317]

Paul, LG has a new all in one unit that has the controls for both the washer and dryer in the center of the unit within easy reach. It is called the WASH TOWER LAUNDRY CENTER. It has all the high end features and is only 27 inches deep and still has large capacity.

[@tiffanyzogheb7034]

Thank you!

[@SpaceStrike]

Good job I only think I wish you didn’t have to press 3 seconds on the dryer to remote start it

[@OneHourSmartHome]

Agreed, it would be nice if you could just turn it on and off remotely from the phone without the need to enable remote start.

What about 3600

[@dvv711]

I have an LG 3700 - and the pump and main board broke down in less than a year. (This also happened on my last LG washer...but at least it lasted 10 years.) The repairman said this is a common problem with the LG washers. Worse yet, the LG parts are not available until mid January 2021! I too thought LG was a good brand, but now I'm not so sure. I have to buy another new one right now, because we obviously can't wait 2 months. Is there any other brand you could recommend? Or is there an LG model that would be more reliable? Thanks!

[@OneHourSmartHome]

That's too bad your washer and dryer broke. I was in the same situation with my old washer and dryer. No parts were available for months so I had to purchase new. In my research LG and Samsung were consistently the highest rated and most reliable. One of my buddies who was a former engineer for a well known appliance manufacturer consistently echoed this and recommend getting LG or Samsung appliances.

[@Casper_Espresso]

You broke it down well. LG will soon come out with the sauna washer. No need to go to the YMCA.

[@kingquads6982]

Lol, LG washing machines are a disaster, I wouldn't want to mess with washer dryer combo, that's a recipe for frustration
