Q: Is there a matching pedestal for this dryer?
A: Yes and it's worth the extra $$$!
Q: Looks like door opens to the right. Is it possible to reverse the door that it will open to the left
A: Yes the door is reversible...I did it myself following directions in owner's manual.
Q: Does this have a side vent? If yes then which side?
A: Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the LG 7.4 cu. ft. Smart Gas Dryer, model DLGX5501W. This dryer is designed with multiple venting options, including the bottom, left, and rear. While it comes configured to vent from the rear, it can be converted to vent from the side. For gas dryer models like yours, the right-side venting is generally not available when facing the dryer; therefore, the side vent option would be on the left side. A side vent kit would be required for this conversion. We'd like to assist you further if you have more questions about the installation or anything else related to your dryer. Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-7-4-cu-ft-stackable-smart-gas-dryer-with-steam-and-sensor-dry-white/6532188.p?skuId=6532188 We appreciate your patience. —Renzo
A: My family we are happy with washer and dryer LG machines thank you Bestbuy.
Q: CAn the washer be stacked over the dryer so I can vent the dryer through the floor?
A: yes we were told it was a stackable dryer.
A: Hi there. Thank you for sharing your question about the LG DLGX5501V dryer. We understand how important flexible installation is, especially when it comes to venting and space setup. While the washer and dryer can be stacked using the compatible stacking kit, unfortunately, reversing the stack (placing the dryer on the bottom) is not recommended or supported. The dryer is always designed to be placed on top due to weight distribution and safety concerns. You may access this link related to your concern and go to Page 18 for more information:https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-DLGX5501V.ASSEEUS. That said, the DLGX5501V does support vertical venting, side venting, and bottom venting using an optional side vent kit (Part #383EEL9001B). If your goal is to vent through the floor, a bottom vent conversion can be done, but we highly recommend having it performed by a licensed technician to ensure proper airflow and compliance with local codes. If you'd like help sourcing the correct kit or setting this up, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport and we’ll be happy to walk you through it. We appreciate your interest in making your setup work best for your space! —Avril
Q: Does it come with a rack? If not, which rack is compatible with this dryer?
A: no you have to buy the rack separate on line they do not carry at Best Buy
Q: Is this an HE model? (HE detergent?)
A: It's a dryer not a washer but the matching washer, which I also purchased, uses HE detergent which most front loaders use.

Dryer
Reliable, Efficient, and Easy to Use I’ve been using this dryer for a few months now, and overall, it’s been a solid addition to my laundry routine. It heats up quickly, dries clothes thoroughly, and offers a range of settings for different fabric types. I especially love the sensor dry feature—it prevents over-drying and keeps my clothes in better shape. The drum is spacious enough for large loads, including bedding and towels, which saves time on laundry days. It’s also relatively quiet, which I appreciate since my laundry area is near the living space.

Amazing machine
Me and my fiancé recently got our new town home and needed a new washing/ dryer machine. We went to our local best buy and one of the salespeople showed us this beautiful/ sleek design machine and we fell in love. The price range for what youre getting is unbeatable- the machine has multiple features for different types of clothes and has a Bluetooth function that allows you to set it to a certain time for the load to begin washing. Lets face it, im one of those that forgets my clothes in the machine over night and has to rewash the same load! Thanks LG for such a great product, and best buy for making the purchase/ delivery effortless. PS. I purchased these clear bumper strips to prevent any damage to the doors in case theyre swung open.

It's made me love doing laundry again !
I didn't realize how ineffective my old washer and dryer was until I got these ! My old dryer struggled to get done of the heavy bedding dry in less than 2 cycles but this does it in one ! Everything comes out feeling great and smelling fresh. It even sends you a message when it's done! Very cool. Looks great ! Love it and they look great !
