Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great addition for small loads or delicates. Brings the appliance to a comfortably height so you dont have to bend over.

Never had one of these before. Only using it to wash workout wear. It’s small, can’t imagine washing a thicker fabric in it. So far so good...

Glad someone thought of this. Great to wash baby clothes and dog towels.

Would have been a great item to have barring Best Buys Inability to get it to me. Once they did, they brought one that was 3" to large and obviously the wedding one. No no problem. "We'll just schedule it out another month" they said. And so on and so on. This obviously is not a review of the washer, but rather a review that Best Buy should not even sell this item if they can't figure out how to deliver it. Not the first time best buy!

The SideKick is an absolutely brilliant engineering design! It adds 1 cubic foot of wash capability, and is a stand alone, separate washer. It is whisper quiet, ultra high efficient & can operate simultaneously with the main washer, or on it's own. It cleans the clothes thoroughly with no drama or difficulties, no leaks, loud noises or smells. This is a gorgeous machine in Graphite Steel. LG is the only company that had the brilliant idea to offer a stand-alone Washer below the main washer on the market today. I love how it plays an upbeat tune instead of the old BEEP, BEEP! of our other appliances! Only one complaint: The SideKick remote control has not been released yet. It should have been included with the washer, rather than sell for $29.95 after the sale. Other than that one complaint, it stays balanced, sips energy & runs quiet & true!!

Love...love...love this! Have a small load of say dish towels, table cloth or a few jeans? BAM...put in the sidekick while you wash other items and in a relatively short time it is done. Buy the optional remote and it is really cool! This was combined with the matching set of Washer and Dryer what are rated number one by consumer reports! I saved $1,000 because of best Buy member pricing over any other price in the nation. The installers did a fantastic job and in no time were out there with it done right the first time! The actually switched the sides of the washer and dryer even though it is not plumbed that way so the doors open the correct way!

People at Best Buy are great, Install great! LG The machine is nice, but......... I dont want me clothes to smell. LG I have issues with, Water stays in the bottom of this washer, when smells. LG believe that this problem to be normal. Its NOT. Its not clean or sanitary like LG promotes. It smells after days of non being used. I can not leave the drawer open, that would be come a dangerous trip or fall hazard. Even with the lid crack not closed when not in use it still stinks. Wipe it out, the condensation still accumulates. LG this is NOT normal.

This was a good purchase for us. Wife wanted this to wash socks, kitchen towels and other small items separately and this is perfect for that use. This is also very handy when the need is to just wash a few clothes separately. We have run both the top and bottom units together and it is very convenient option with the load being done in half the time. Also, when it comes to the mold issue, unlike other users we have not seen any mold buildup yet.

I love my sidekick washer. It’s come in so handy for washing small loads of face masks. I also use it for dish cloths and for active wear. It features six wash cycles. Also serves as a pedestal to prop the full size washer almost 2 1/2 feet from the ground. This makes loading and unloading larger loads easier. At full price it’s quite pricy. Wait for a sale and that makes it just a little more than the drawer pedestal.

This washer is a great addition to any laundry room. It is compact and space-saving, making it perfect for small apartments or condos. The washer is also very energy-efficient, which can help you save money on your energy bills. One of the best features of this washer is the TurboWash technology. This technology allows you to wash your clothes in just 14 minutes, without sacrificing cleaning performance. The washer also has a variety of other features, including a built-in pre-wash cycle, a steam cycle, and an allergen cycle. Overall, I am very happy with this washer. It is efficient, effective, and easy to use. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new washer.

If you can get this item, OPEN BOX, please do yourself a favor and GET IT. So I bought this item open box for $250. I was hesitant at first but as bad as I wanted the product, I wasn't willing to spend $700 for it. That's the same price as a regular washer machine. Even the sale price was a little too high for me. I picked it up as an open box item. Most open box items are floor models, so it's never used. It work great, cleans well, and it has one scratch at the bottom. (Weighing my options) Scratch vs. Save $250 to $500. I'll take the scratch Alex. It was so worth it. I got such a great deal on this. It's in the laundry room, no one notices the scratch. It's way at the bottom and you'll scratch it up yourself anyway. Take the savings. This product pairs well with the LG Twin Wash set. P.S. Open box items can be returned within 14 days and you can add protection on them. So it's not a final sale situation. Definitely take the chance on big price items. It's worth the savings for sure.

I wasn't sure if I would like or even use this new pedestal washer. It has blown me away with it's functionality and easy of use! It's the best kept secret in my laundry room and is a must have for any busy mom and or family!

This was the best money I have ever spent. I honestly feel this pedestal washer does a better job than the main washer. I am particular about my laundry and separate everything so I usually have small hand wash loads and athletic loads galore. It does a GREAT job. It makes keeping up with laundry so much easier and I cannot imagine now ever not having one. Treat yourself and buy it.

This is the best washer we’ve EVER owned. Having the bottom mini washer is wonderful. 3 teens + 2 adults we average 2 loads per day. Saves water and you only need a tiny amount of soap. Many wash options from ultra hand wash to heavy duty comforters. We wash our sports clothes and they never smell. Can’t say enough ! Great features and user friendly.

Makes washing clothes just better. Faster turn overs when washing. You can use the larger washer above it and they can work as stand alones too. This washer works perfect for small amounts of clothes and perfect for theough out the week washes.

Bought a new washer. I did have the pedestal from my old one but I thought this could do small loads instead of using the large washer. Great for underclothes and workout clothes. Expensive but so far no problems and it cleans well. Just buy it with your new washer. We have always had LG and they work well. I hope to get 10 years out of this one. .

Definitely a good buy. We replaced a 16 year old washer with this state of the art one. It has lots of features. Easy to hook up if you read the instructions. Make sure you order or buy the hoses too. We bought it with a steam dryer and washing machine, so water hookup gets a little more complicated, but instructions are easy to follow. Works great. Make sure if you have installed, they do it right. If dryer or washer on top, it needs screws to be secured.

Great innovation to be able to do a small, special load either on its own or in addition to the regular load. I purchased thinking it would be great to wash something very dirty and not contaminate the rest of the clothes . . . but to be honest I haven't had to use it once. So, ask yourself if you really need it!

This unit is unique and provides some great advantages. Does delicate and hand wash items well and allows me to condense my laundry time by doing 2 loads at the same time. Does a good job washing and seems very efficient.

We have owned one before, leaving it at out old house. So when we purchased a new full sized washer, this was a no brainer. It gets a ton of use with our family of four doing quick sports gear washes or the delicates. Also, since we have a front loader for full sized, its nice to have a top loading mini. Its a luxury no doubt, but is pretty awesome!
