Let LG’s 2-in-1 WashCombo do the heavy lifting. Run a complete wash and dry cycle in under 2 hours, without having to transfer clothes from washer to dryer.¹ One appliance does it all—with a space-saving, go-anywhere ventless design. Among the largest capacity combo models available, it can fit your larger loads including a king-size comforter.² As this machine is among the industry’s most energy efficient combos, you’ll use up to 60% less energy with every load.³ Plus, our built-in intelligence and intuitive LCD dial make it easy to get laundry day dialed in so you can load, set and go.
2-in-1 Washer/Dryer Combo
Load, set and go. In under 2 hours, your clothes will be clean, fresh and dry.¹ With the all-in-one design you can get laundry done while you get on with your day, without having to stop what you’re doing to move clothes between 2 machines. Based on independent testing in Wash+Dry cycle with Dryer on Energy Saver mode, 10 lb. DOE standard load (October 2023). Cycle time may vary depending on load type/weight.
Sleek Ventless Design
Space-saving 2-in-1 configuration, ventless design and standard 120v plug means it can be installed virtually anywhere. No detail was overlooked in this all-in-one’s sleek, modern style. Unlike the big and boxy look of other washer/dryer combo models, the LG WashCombo All-in-One flat front design, graphite steel finish and tinted, tempered glass door brings a premium point of view to your laundry space.
5.0 cu. ft. Mega Capacity
Say never again to never-ending piles of laundry—this mega capacity washer/dryer combo is among the largest front load all-in-one units in its class² to fit more clothes in every load and help you power through laundry day in less time. How big is 5.0 cu. ft.? Big enough to fit a king-size comforter and more in a single load, for big time savings every week.
Inverter HeatPump Technology
When it comes to powerful, reliable and efficient performance, there’s just no comparison. With LG’s Inverter HeatPump technology, you’ll enjoy quiet operation and some of the greatest energy efficiency of any washer/dryer combo available—using up to 60% less energy with every load.³
LCD Digital Dial Control
Customize your wash—or let AI Wash do it for you. Laundry day is just that easy with LG’s built-in intelligence and intuitive LCD dial. Streamlined controls give you more of what you need with each turn of the dial, from descriptions of each setting and helpful prompts to status updates and remaining cycle time. Easily access more than 20 cycles and quickly modify any cycle using the touch panel for total laundry control.
ezLintFilter
Conveniently located right on top of the WashCombo All-in-One, the ezLintFilter design allows you to easily remove lint after every load without having to use your hands. Simply push out the filter from its compartment and the lint can automatically be disposed into a wastebasket without manual removal.
Built-In Intelligence (AI Fabric, Weight and Soil Level Sensors)
Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles—built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture, soil level, and load size, then automatically select the right wash/dry motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care.
Advanced Washing (TurboWash 360° / Allergiene Wash Cycle)
From mega capacity to top-of-the-line innovations, the all-in-one combo unit delivers the advanced cleaning performance you need. 5 powerful jets spray clothes from multiple angles for a complete clean in under 30 minutes⁴. The Allergiene wash cycle uses the power of steam to remove over 95%⁴ of dust, pet dander and pollen.⁵
ezDispense Automatic Dispenser
With ezDispense Automatic Dispenser, just fill the reservoirs once and you’re set for up to 18 to 31 wash cycles⁶ with versatility of using detergent and softener or detergent only. Not only is it quick and easy, but it helps make laundry foolproof, adding just the right amount for each load size—at just the right time. You can even get an alert on your smartphone when it’s time to refill, so you never miss a beat!⁷
Direct Drive Drying Technology
Featuring a Direct Drive Dryer motor, this all-in-one combo provides even drying performance and precise tumbling motions that are extra kind to delicates. Better than belt-driven motors—no belts, no pulleys, no worries. What else can you count on? The peace of mind of a 10-year limited warranty.
LG SideKick Compatible
Want to run more than one load at a time? This Smart WashCombo is compatible with LG SideKick, which means you can add the mini pedestal washer and tackle two loads—both large and small—all at the same time. When the main load is dry, use the combo’s “dry only” cycle to quickly dry the second load. Sold separately, the discreet SideKick compact washer sits underneath the main machine and elevates the washer/dryer combo for easier loading and unloading.
ThinQ Smart Technology
The ThinQ app offers control and convenience to help you simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. Control your washer/dryer combo remotely or use voice commands with Google or Alexa voice assistants. Plus, download additional cycles and access Smart Diagnosis, customer support, and more.
ThinQ UP
ThinQ UP enabled smart appliances receive continual software updates for new downloadable features and enhancements sent wirelessly to the appliance. Choose which features you want and customize your appliance based on your lifestyle and personal preferences.
ThinQ Care
Available within the ThinQ app, ThinQ Care sends proactive usage, maintenance, and diagnostic alerts to your smartphone to help keep your LG smart appliances running smoothly.

- A: AnswerThe unit does sense the load and makes adjustments to the drying time, which is a thoughtful feature. However, there were a few instances where it underestimated the drying time, leading me to run an additional dry-only cycle to ensure my items were fully dry. One notable point from the manual is that it recommends having both cold and hot water connections. However, during operation, you have the flexibility to instruct the machine to use only cold water if that better suits your preferences or needs.

- A: AnswerRegarding the suggestion by LG to purchase a stacking kit, it's my understanding that there's a top-side lint trap that needs regular cleaning. So the stacking would block access to this lint trap. Would someone from LG please verify this. If so, you should delete the LG response that suggests these units can be stacked. Thank you.

Q: QuestionWhat voltage does it need, and is it a regular plug like for household without 220?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThank you for your interest in the LG Washer/Dryer (WM6998HBA) model. The LG WM6998HBA washer/dryer combo operates on 120 volts. It uses a regular household plug, so it does not require 220 volts. You can download its owner's manual through this link for more information: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-WM6998HBA.ABLEEUS. ^CrisAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care
- A: AnswerIt's crucial to delve into the fine print – the advertised two-hour cycle is designed for a 10lb load. In my experience, it did live up to the two-hour timeframe for a large handful, but when fully loaded, the process extends to around 4 hours. Now, when it comes to towels, it's an entirely different story. Loading the unit with towels resulted in a staggering 7-hour wait for the entire load to dry. While I anticipated a longer duration for bulkier items, I must admit being disappointed by the significant amount of time it took. As a user with this set situated on my upper floor, and with my standard set located in the basement, I've decided to reserve the use of this washer/dryer combo for regular laundry loads. For towels, I'll be relying on my trusty regular washer and gas dryer due to their more efficient drying times.

- A: AnswerYou could but that’s one of the reasons we purchased this one. We can start the laundry before bed and wake up to clean, dry clothes in the morning. There is even a feature to help keep the clothes from wrinkling if they stay in too long.

- A: AnswerThe unit does come with an automatic dispenser feature, but the cool thing is, you can switch it off either directly on the machine or through the app. If you're into Tide Pods, you can go that route, though it might not be as stellar in performance – totally your call. And, just a heads up, fabric sheets might not do their usual magic here since they usually thrive on hot air, and this machine focuses more on pulling moisture from the air without the heat element. Now, about its capacity, I've tossed in a king-size comforter, and it can handle it. But, brace yourself for a patience-testing 7-hour wash and dry session, and even then, you might find a few areas that are not bone-dry. In my experience, it seems like it's optimized for everyday stuff like shirts, socks, and pants. It can tackle towels and larger items if you're okay with investing a considerable amount of time, and there's a chance they might not come out completely dry.

Fantastic washer/dryer
I'd like to provide a detailed review of the washer/dryer set I recently purchased for my upper floor, aiming to eliminate the need for constant trips up and down the stairs to my basement set. Before diving into the specifics, a few key points need to be addressed. To start, it's important to note that this review is entirely unbiased, as I paid for the product in full. There were no incentives or sponsorships from Best Buy or LG, ensuring an honest evaluation. Regarding installation, I strongly recommend considering the $29.99 installation service. The unit weighs a substantial 250lbs, and even with two fully-equipped adults, handling it without professional assistance can be quite challenging. Moving on to the positive aspects, the aesthetics of the set are fantastic. Placing it on my upper floor, where it's visible to anyone passing through, required a sleek design – a requirement that this set fulfills admirably. The user interface is user-friendly, with a simple wheel on the display for mode selection. Adjustments for temperature, spin, and soil level are easily made through button presses next to the display, with clear LED indicators. Importantly, you don't have to rely on the app, as all settings can be configured directly on the washer. For those who prefer using the app, pairing is effortless. The LG ThinQ app guides you through the process, making it as simple as scanning a QR code inside the door. The app provides convenient control, allowing you to monitor progress and make adjustments without physically being near the washer. An unexpected but pleasant feature is the interior light, allowing you to observe your load as it runs. However, it turns off when using the app, assuming you're not present – a minor inconvenience. The capacity is impressive, easily accommodating an entire laundry basket's worth of items. The built-in reservoirs for soap and softener are convenient, letting you set usage preferences for each load. In terms of noise, this washer operates quietly – significantly quieter than my standard basement washer. It's so quiet that you could comfortably sleep next to it during the spin cycle. Now, addressing the washing performance, it matches up well with our standard basement washer. The automatic dispensing system may even result in less soap and softener usage over time. Moving on to drying, it's essential to manage expectations. While it dries clothes to the same level as a standard dryer, it takes longer. The advertised two-hour cycle holds true for smaller loads, but a full laundry basket may take around four hours. For towels or comforters, expect a drying time of 6-7 hours. In conclusion, this set is perfect for upper-level laundry needs, offering the convenience of avoiding trips to the basement. However, for larger items like towels and comforters, the extended drying time is a trade-off. We'll still use our basement set for these items due to its faster drying time and cost efficiency with a gas-powered dryer.

So Far, So Good...
I was trying to decide between this unit or the GE ultrafast 2 in 1 combo. They both have pretty much the same features and are very simular otherwise but the main reason I chose the LG combo was because of it's lint system. It's pretty much self cleaning as far as keeping lint off of the condenser fins. The lint trap itself is very easy to empty as it's done in one motion. The GE seems to collect lent in places that are had to get to and clean compleatly. The LG unit has a 5.0 Cu.Ft. capacity as opposed to the GE's 4.8 Cu. Ft. 0.2 Cu. Ft. does make a difference especially during the drying time (although the GE does have a larger heat pump system). I've had this unit for about a month now and have had no problems so far. I just remeber to do the maintainance just like any other front loading washer. Yes, it does take longer to dry clothes than a traditional dryer it's worth it when I don't have to remember to transfer clothes.

Very good
I have no problem giving this unit 5 stars right off the bat. Does this washer dryer combo clean your clothes, yes very well. Most clothes are very dry, sometimes blue jeans are a little damp around the belt line, towels, sheets almost everything else is totally dry. These combo machines require a few minutes a week for maintenance, you must be diligent about cleaning up the lint to get the best efficiency, it's no big deal and only took 10 minutes. The new machine smell was pretty bad the first load or 2 so we started to use the downy pellets, after about 10 loads the smell is all but gone. This unit has been nice most large loads are finished in under 3 hours. We really like this washer dryer combo, frees up space in the laundry room, you don't have to switch clothes to the dryer, all in all it took a little experimenting with different settings to find the sweet spot but we are happy and glad we made the purchase. The dry time may seem long but the energy savings are worth it.
