LG - 4.2 Cu. Ft. Stackable Smart Electric Dryer with Dual Inverter HeatPump - White

BLUF: Works great, compact, and small, but usually takes 2 hours for a regular load of laundry for me I bought this set for use in my garage and didn’t need huge capacity, but I’ve found they fit a good bit. Glad I purchased these overall Dry Times (my average estimate): - Regular load of clothes - 2 - 2.5 hours - Sheet - 2.5 - 3 hours - Blankets - 4 hours Pros: - Looks good - Option to condense water into reservoir (seen in picture) or into a water line - Stacking kit is included with the set - Time estimates have been reasonably accurate - LED light inside - Doesn’t generate much heat to surrounding space, but give off a clean clothes smell in the space - Quiet - Wi-Fi - Thought this was gimmicky, but with it being in the garage it’s nice to get a notification when it finishes (can’t hear it in the house at all) Cons: - Controls are more complicated than the GE I had in my last house - Secondary lint filter to clean occasionally (I do it monthly-ish) - No “low heat” option - It has Normal, Energy Saver, and Air Dry. Supposedly the energy saver is sort of low, hasn’t messed anything up yet - Need to take clothes out right away to avoid wrinkles - Humidity is still in the dryer otherwise Note: Trust the dryer when it thinks clothes are dry. The first time I thought they felt wet and kept starting it on timed dry (like 6 hours total). Come to find they feel dry until you get them out and they start to cool down. Woops

My apartment had washer and dryer hookups but only for smaller washer/dryer stacked. I’ve used Bosch machines in the past, but decided to try a condenser instead of a heat pump style. I like the condenser better, it dries faster than the Bosch ever did (still not as fast as the vented dryer), it’s very quiet, I like the tech of the LG system. I haven’t had any problems, but I do empty the water collector every couple of loads. One note, the stacking should be flush in the front, when the delivery people were stacking it they started to do it so that the dryer was offset, I stopped them and showed pictures of what it was supposed to look like they corrected it almost immediately.

I purchased the LG 4.2 heat pump dryer a few months ago. I just noticed that water is collecting in the lint filter cavity and the lint filter is damp. I would like some documentation from the company as to whether or not this normal. I can’t find anything in the manual that addresses it. I’ve never experienced this with any other dryer. The manual says to thoroughly dry the lint filter before using. That is difficult when you are drying multiple loads. Please advise.

This is my second purchase of this LG electric ventless dryer. I have bought and used it and the accompanying front load washer previously for a small studio apartment and have found it does the job well. Drying can take a bit longer due to energy efficiency, which doesn't bother me. I now moving to a one bedroom apartment where space still is limited plus HOA requirements (electric) and no access to a vent makes this a great appliance for me. Really easy to access and empty the water capture tank. Initially I thought it would be a hassle but it's not.

This unit is night and day better than the old "GE" unit I replaced. Both this and the matching washer has a lot of features I will never use but it dries (and for the washer washes) well. And way quieter...it's not silent but there are times it's on and I forget it's running till that stupid little tune it plays when the cycle is done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item two weeks ago and I am just getting a chance to use it because not all of the parts came in the box when delivered. I purchased the washer and dryer together to stack in a closet as advertised. The stacking kit and drain hose was missing. Originally when I called LG the rep. didn't care if I returned the item or not. He said I would need to purchase the kit separately. Now that I have the unit up a running it is fine (very fancy). My trust is shaken on what to expect from this unit in the future and if I will be able to receive assistance for LG if something should go wrong.
