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.

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
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.

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

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 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.

Cassidy Makes Chaos even with a regular sized washer, I think it’s best to take comforters to the dry cleaners. It’s too much weight for washers IMO and can cause issues. :)
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 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.
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.
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.

Rhonda Smith some are ventless others are not. Just ask whoever is helping you or it should tell you if ordering online. This one in particular condensed the moisture and uses the same pipe as your washer to take the moisture out. That’s another reason it takes so long to dry. You can buy ones that use a vent though. I think those are normally the double stacked units not the combined units though. Where there’s two separate compartments but they’re connected
watching while doing laundry with my lg front load washer💪🏼
This guy so honest.
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.
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.

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.

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 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.

You can set it to dry [more] for it to dry fully, over drying clothes creates more static and wears clothing out faster. However I like my clothes to be slightly damp, as they finish drying on the hanger. I never run my polyester clothes on dry cycle they air dry pretty quickly ! I only dry towels.
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. We 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.

They come in various sizes. One unit was the same dimensions as an undercounter dishwasher, and required no ventilation. Some are larger, while others are much larger for families.
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.

I have lg washer and dryer i bought in 2015 so far nothing problem at all
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?
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'm glad I watched this. i have thought about buying one of these.
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.

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 liked the machine that was in my apartment, but plan on doing maybe only 1 or 2 loads a day because the wash and dry of 1 load took a total of 4 hours. The clothes came out of the machine so hot that you practically needed oven mitts to handle them. I’d toss the clothes onto my bed and let them cool before I tried to fold them.

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

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

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

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.

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.
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.)??
How does it handle bricks?

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 has dry only. Turn on, do not touch the knob, and just select Dry on the control panel.
My POS Samsung washer just died today! I only wash for me so this combo is top on my list!
One drawback with these combos is they go through drain pumps. This is because they use the pump to drain the water on the wash and rinse AND to dry the clothes. To dry clothes, this washer heats up the water really hot and then drains it out. Eventually the clothes will get dry, but it triples wear on the drain pump. The drain pumps on these combos are no stronger than a regular washing machine. If you use this washer combo like the salesman is telling you, it should work fine. But there are drawbacks. I work on LG and Samsung for a living.

Walter Grace it’s good to know this. I would never buy a washer dryer combo I was told that they weren’t that good. I just have a normal washing machine and I use an indoor clothes rack to dry my clothes which is very effective as the clothes are practically dry when they come out of my washing machine and they drive very quickly on the rack.

Asian markets have had one unit washer/dryer units for some time now. And they work well. But here in the US it is easier to make more money buy selling you two separate units. Which is another stupid idea. Because I would buy 2 single units that do both if pricing was right and had a large loading capacity. Especially in US markets where we have larger families. Not to mention height and size of individuals in the US seam bigger. Which equates to washing and drying clothes more.
Combined washer dryers are notoriously slow at drying and never as effective as stand alone dryers. Even the top of the range manufacturers take ages to dry, and capacity for drying is also significantly lower than washing capacity, so you may have to split the drying load. I had one in a previous property, and clothes would be in there for two hours, come out steaming hot but still damp. I'm convinced they are bad for clothes. Only consider one of these if saving space is essential, and you only envisage occasional dryer use.

Spencer Wilton I used to be a successful appliance sales specialist for 7 years and only managed to find less than 3 customers who were a perfect match for the LG AI1 combo. All of them lived in small Miami Beach condos, and they were all foreign snowbirds. Actually, LG AI1 combo was never meant for the ubiquitously suburban, instant gratification obsessed American household. Yes, I dealt with numerous inquisitive clients who liked the idea before I quickly revealed the brutal reality of owning such an unnecessary contraption.

wyzemann I have yet to come across one that functions as one would hope it would. If they could perfect them I suspect more would be sold, especially in the U.K. Where space is often at a premium and appliances are often found in the kitchen. We don't really have so much of a dryer culture here, seeing them rather as things to use when in a hurry or when the weather is too wet to dry outdoors so perhaps that has something to do with it too- people put up with the poor performance as it's a function only used a handful of times a year.

Ami M Every outlet in every room in every home here is 240 volts, 13 amps, so over 3 kw, you can plug a dryer into any outlet anywhere. In recent years vented dryers have become rare, most are now condensers so collect water in a tank that you either empty, or just connect to the washer waste pipe.

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?
No lint trap on these ? Looking for mention in the manual and found not a thing.
Thats really useful - thanks Keith from Perth Australia!
Do you have any kits to set it up to be used on the sink line instead of typical washer dryer hook up
How does this model handle powder or liquid laundry detergent? Also, if you add liquid fabric softener? Clean out your dryer lint often. 🎉

Do clothes come out wrinkled?
SO much lint and you have to clean all the way around the door seal every single load. This means digging your fingers in with hopes of pulling out enough lint that there won't be any left on your cloths. I do have a dog who does shed a bit, but I need to clean the seal after every wash/dry as well as vacuum the floor because of all the leftover. I rent so this was already in the apartment but I'd rather pay for a wash and fold each week.

mine broke down so much..I had to replace it with a Bosch stackable washer and dryer....I had to hire an electrician to rewire the circuit..and laundry days are less frustrating after getting the Bosch set...the LG washer and dryer combo sucks big time...sorry LG..just saying how it is...and I am sure your other things are good
What is that vent or bay at the bottom right corner?
This is good for small units and tight spaces. If have enough space get a washer and a dryer separate.
How wrinkled are the clothes after drying? I have a 12 year old combo washer and dryer and you can't even iron out the wrinkles and am looking for a replacement.

Robert Williams I know for this machine after clothes are done drying it’s suggested in the manual that you should open the machine door to let air circulate. It will decrease how wrinkle your clothes get. I once forgot to air out the machine and my jeans were nearly impossibly to iron.

Robert Williams When drying clothes, use a low or very low heat setting, in a regular dryer. This will reduce wrinkles.
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?

M B it connects to taps in the ordinary way. The outlet hangs in the sink as normal. It’s a condenser dryer, so the water coming out of the clothes goes down the sink, not into the room as steam.
