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!

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.

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!!

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 has been amazing use of space. I had pedestals planned for washer and dryer, but when I found this, it looked like a great option. Perfect for a small load... workout clothes; dinner napkins; last minute item needed cleaned for a meeting... Has been a great addition to the laundry room!

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 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've only had it about 2 months but so far, I love it! Great for small loads or active wear. I have used it more than I thought I would and I usually use it for under garments. I did buy the extended warranty just in case but it seems to be working just fine. The only thing I don't like is there isn't a place to put detergent so you have to add it on top of the clothes or toss a pod in.

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.

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.

LOVE this sidekick washer. I waited to buy it on sale because i couldn’t justify the regular price. I wasn’t sure I’d use it a lot, but i do. Works well, quiet and is big enough for my lingerie, the kids’ sports clothes, etc. Would be nice if this was the WiFi model though.

When I got this I didn't think I would really use it much but I tell you I use this every day. It's great for small loads so you don't have to run the big washer. 8 also use it for my gym clothes etc. my only complaint is for the price that the remote should come with it. Also make sure the delivery people give you the little blue thing that you use for the detergent. They almost forgot to give it to me and it's super important cause it only takes a tiny bit in it. Also do not use those pods in it like the tide pods etc. it says not to in the paperwork . I bought the remote from lg website cause Best Buy was out of them. It's helpful cause you can't really see the pause button for when you have to pause it to put fabric softener in it. Definitely the side kick was the best invention ever. Like I said I use it daily

This little washing machine is a very nice addition to the main one. When I only have a few things to wash this is priceless. It saves water, it saves energy and I don't feel guilty running a washing machine for just a few things. Absolutely love it!

So glad we bought the sidekick. Considering what the pedestals cost anyway I cannot recommend enough springing for the sidekicks. Given how large a load the washer can take you will have your smaller items and things that you shouldn't use softener on and the sidekick is perfect for those things.

The Sidekick is very easy to use and is able to fit a smaller load of wash without any issues. Just wish you could use bleach in this appliance, when you have a small load of whites...

I absolutely love my LG pedestal washer! It cleans all of my delicates beautifully without wearing them out. I have a lot of delicate clothing for work, and this LG pedestal washer has saved me so much money in dry cleaning. It has definitely paid for itself over and over!
