Washers - Maytag Neptune, LG 2016, GE Profile Harmony 9360
Comments (7)Washer is pretty quiet - it doesn't have the 'jet engine' noise during the spin cycle like some FL do. The control panel is very easy, and you can set up your favorites in the 'My Cycles' button to minimize the button pushing. The dryer is fantastic - it does make some noise, but nothing major. Our laundry room is between our kids' bedrooms, and haven't had a noise complaint from them in 18 months. It is also right above our dining room, and we haven't noticed the noise from below unless we're listening for it (to see if it's still running, or if we need to go up and move stuff to the dryer). Vibration is a non-issue, even on the second floor. On the connection between the washer and dryer, I could take it or leave it. We have it hooked up, and it is sometimes convenient (washer tells the dryer what settings to use), but if you've left stuff in the dryer too long and want to run a de-wrinkle cycle before moving the already-washed stuff in the washer, the dryer starts talking to the washer before you can get the de-wrinkle cycle started, and you have to wait for the 'conversation' to end before changing it back to 'de-wrinkle'. I've been too lazy to unscrew the connector to fix it, but now that I've ranted, I'll probably unhook it tonight....See MoreHaving second thoughts on LG combo washer/dryer:
Comments (48)I said previously, "1. The LG combo unit is an excellent solution for those with no other option." Let me qualify that statement a bit. Yes, if you have no other option, you can have a compact, all-in-one unit that doesn't require 240VAC or a vent. However, it's perhaps better stated, that, while it's a good-looking machine which otherwise functions very well, you should definitely expect 2-6 hour drying times--but, typically, 4-6 if you're a "normal" person. Reviewers which commented, "Most of my loads are done in 2.5 hours," must be washing extremely small loads. Perhaps, a few blouses, and some socks. Certainly no jeans or towels. Add a single pair of jeans to the mix, or a hoodie--and, bam--you're at 4-6 hours drying time. Previous to our purchase, I read every review on the unit I could find. As I said earlier, positive reviews seemed to outnumber negative reviews by about 10:1. I had assumed the few negative reviewers simply overloaded the dryer, which is basically probably true. Knowing this, we thought we were willing to endure longer drying times in exchange for a much expanded pantry/linen closet. But having a gas dryer still connected made the comparison glaringly clear. A vented gas dryer is not only far less expensive in energy costs, it dries clothes 10-30 times faster than an un-vented condenser dryer. For example, something that took only 8 minutes to dry in the gas dryer, took about 4 hours to dry in the LG unit--that's 30x longer. It's these kinds of numbers which are completely lacking in any of the reviews. If drying a pair of jeans, a towel, and a few shirts takes 4-6 hours to dry, it's simply not practical for most people for two reasons: a.) energy costs; b.) the dryer makes its "drain-spin" noise at 20-second intervals, continuously for several hours. Again, we thought the "set-it-and-go-to-work," or "set-it-and-go-to-sleep" approach would greatly lessen the impact of the extended drying times. But, "set-it-and-go-to-sleep" simply doesn't work in a small house--it's too disruptive. My recommendation? Buy this unit if: a.) You have absolutely no other option. b.) Your kWh rates are affordable (e.g., c.) You prefer line-drying some of your clothes. d.) You're single, and wash extremely small loads.

Comments (3)So sorry. We bought my Mom and matching Right Height dryer over a year ago, to match the Right Height washer that GE replaced under warranty. Knock on wood, it is still working great and she loves them. Her first GE washer gave her a lot of problems for over a year, and when GE finally agreed to replace it, they no longer made her model. They gave her a Right Height one, but then it did not match her GE dryer....so we bought her the matching dryer as a surprise gift :) She is very happy. I however find the build quality and materials very questionable!...See MoreGE 650, Samsung 6300 temps? Best sanitizing washer/dryer suggestion?
Comments (5)Georgect, yeah it’s not NSF certified. They say it “meets NSF standards”. I have Samsung currently and they’re working fine. It’s just time to upgrade with a baby on the way. Samsung is the only one of the three that directly says the washer uses 150 degree water. GE won’t answer my emails, their chat is unavailable seemingly permanently and LG agent just now said 125-135 degrees, which I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but if it is that is not enough to do what they claim in any case....See Morelittlegreeny
