I've been using mine for a week now basically non stop. Clothes come out really clean and fresh smelling. I love the ability to basically design a custom cycle exactly how you want it with the app. I've used at least eight of the many pre installed cycles and love that my clothes are being washed correctly. I'm sold and won't be going back to a two machine system. Nice job LG.
Based solely on the differences in managing lint and filtration maintenance, I'm preparing to replace my 9 month old GE Ultrafast unit with this LG one. Thank you for taking time and effort to upload a full cycle. This video was what I was lacking to bite the bullet and make the decision. I'm tired of losing the time I should be saving with a combo unit to having to stick a shop vac inside of the GE unit's lint crevice after every load.
This LG lint tray doesn't look very good. You're going to have to disassemble the unit every so often. You should really wait until people have this unit for a while before complaining about ... Vacuuming once in a while. Also .. why would LG only give their compressor a 1 year warranty? Sounds like they are trying to avoid lawsuits with this one.
@@tanker242 I'll take your advice. Also, I was able recently to run a demo load in the LG recently and it's quite obvious that the drying performance is nowhere near where the Ultrafast is. It's not so much the vacuuming, but rather what a PITA it is to get the unit opened to properly clean it when that time comes. My prediction is that the time will be about once per year based on my usage patterns. You're right, though - truth is that the GE unit performs exceptionally in every way other than lint filtration, and there's a certain element of getting used to the maintenance, enjoying the appliance and also letting the technology and design mature a bit before throwing away money and filling a landfill. 🤑
@@migbham1 I've had the GE since launch and easily did over 500-1000 cycles during that time, especially early on. That's because we had a new born as we're doing probably 3 loads a day on average. So I can say the condenser was actually in good shape after almost a year. I personally stopped doing a much laundry and didn't clean it personally so.... I can see how it can get really linty in there if you don't use a brush/vacuum at regular intervals. Maybe during the time you do a self clean? We would do our self cleans about 2x a week with bleach based on GE recommendation. So even with my wife doing most of the laundry in the past few months, not using the filter hack, and unsure how well she was actually cleaning or maintaining moisture levels post load? No performance degradation from that part of the washer. It was only screwed up due to unbalanced load, BBY not removing the shipping bracket, and it being run on a squishy surface. Before we exchanged our unit I looked inside the filter area. The far back part of the filter would get hard to maintain due to the kind of brush I had. So it would collect the moisture and look all wet. Also a lot of the area before the filter has lint I places. Using a big dryer brissle, and a thin dryer brush and to fish around will grab that up. Also leaving your door open after a load will release the moisture. You could also remove the filter once in a while post load to let it air out. Always gotta clean the condenser with a brush rotation to avoid bending fins. I never used a vacuum because I never bought a small enough attachment for my vacuum. My wife should have cleaned it better, but it still ran fine because she was keeping up on the filter. I would go in and deep clean the condenser every couple weeks.... Takes like 5 mins of my time MAX including a filter clean. Way less time than it takes me to transfer laundry a few times. Also people don't maintain normal washers, and then they get problems. Gotta do the same here, but maintenance is a bit different. A video from Yale just came out comparing them. They confirmed my thought the GE would Dry better over all. Because the washes/dried king sized blankets and comforters way quicker. I also think the GE might be more power efficient, but I don't know for sure, but it does dry better with the fan and condenser it uses. The heat pump in the GE is probably near 2x the size of the LG My guest is wife might need to open up the top only for maintenance every few years at most.
Thanks for sharing, the LG Washcombo direct drive motor seems pretty whisper quiet most of cycle. Even the spin cycle starting at 46:25 seems reasonable and no real shaking?
We've been very happy with the noise level! There's also a special overnight cycle with reduced spinning noise and wrinkle guard, that you can combine with a delayed start!
I’ve been having problems with loud noises on my unit. The LG tech said this is normal, would you be willing to connect so we can compare? I can upload my video here on YT.
Help please. yellow jet on top does not spray forward. it rolls down the inside of the glass part of door and down the hole in gasket. after one load of laundry i empty out the hose at bottom of washing machine/dryer and get 3 cups of water out. is this normal?
No, it doesn't have that feature because it doesn't get hot enough (this one's max dryer heat is the same as low heat on a regular electric or gas dryer).
Do you have a way to measure how hot the drying cycle gets? Bummed out that this does not have any temperature selections for drying. If the heat pump is "always low", like around 125F then that's fine since that matches most other manufactures delicate setting.
@@LifeStyleUpgradeYT You would have to use the temp gun around 10 minutes before the drying cycle finishes (medium-large load). Just open the door and measure the clothing temp. It should be equal to or slightly less than the air temp. Reason I recommend to check 10 minutes before it ends is because most dryers have a small cool down period at the end.
I bought the LG over GE for the following: Direct drive motor (no belts), easier to access and clean the lint filter, not as massive, has a built-in hot water heater. As for the one year warranty, I agree it should have been more. I took the 5 yr warranty when I purchased it. Paid $2,000 (on sale).
Can you possibly run a medium or large load on the following cycle: Towels + Turbo Wash 360 + Extra Rinse (+3) and set up the camera and lighting to get a closer look at the water levels during the cycle? I think it has an internal light you can turn on. (apologies if I asked before; I thought I did but now I can't find which video I made the request on 🫠)

How long are the average wash and dry times? I'm reading that the dry time especially takes a while.

What's the normal dry temperature. I'd like to see the normal wash and dry cycle with laundry detergent and fabric softener in the bulk dispensers.
Help please. yellow jet on top does not spray forward. it rolls down the inside of the glass part of door and down the hole in gasket. after one load of laundry i empty out the hose at bottom of washing machine/dryer and get 3 cups of water out. is this normal?
Is yours connected to the under sink water line ?
Is that a Sidekick under the combo, or is it just a regular pedestal?
Receiving ours on the jan 20th 2024 🤞🏽can't wait to see if it can survive the women in my family 🤣
Nice!
Is there anyway to do a short steam 15min dry cycle to refresh clothes and remove wrinkles
No, it doesn't have that feature because it doesn't get hot enough (this one's max dryer heat is the same as low heat on a regular electric or gas dryer).

It does have a delicates dry setting (see 1m06 at ruclips.net/video/FbsxQ59RzWo/видео.html ) but also I’ll use the temp gun and upload
What's the temperature for the normal cycle?@@LifeStyleUpgradeYT
@@LifeStyleUpgradeYT You would have to use the temp gun around 10 minutes before the drying cycle finishes (medium-large load). Just open the door and measure the clothing temp.

is it better than GE all in one combo?
Personally I don't think so... And what is LG thinking only giving their compressor a 1 year warranty.
