LG Steam Dryer is great!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old washing machine broke down so I decided to go ahead and get a new washer and dryer set. Boy, I'm glad I did! I LOVE the steam function on this dryer, and my clothes are coming out looking great and requiring much less ironing! It also a very large capacity. I got the white model as it was a little less expensive, but it has some really nice looking trim, so it's not stark white.

Excellent Dryer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dryer was bought because it was the match to the washer my wife and I got. It seems to dry the clothes very well and since it is such a big dryer (drum wise) it handles the large loads of clothes that our washer can handle as well. The only thing that takes time getting used to is all the dry cycles but once you figure out what cycles work for the load you are doing it isn't bad at all. The steam cycles work great too. I had a few shirts that sat in the laundry basket too long, got very wrinkly, so I put them into the dryer with the steam cycle and they came out perfect. They were just normal tee shirts. The only thing I didn't like about that cycle is once it drains the water out of the water tank it says that it needs more water. That is not the case. After calling LG about the so called issue I was told that it says that for the next time you run the cycle so you know to put more water in it, not to put more in for the current cycle. If you are doing a huge load of bedding (comforter, sheets, blanket all in one) you will have to run the cycle twice but for me that was expected especially since its a king comforter and such. Other than the steam cycle issue per se I had, I have not had any issues with this dryer. I would recommend this dryer to anyone that has the matching washer.

Great dryer, lots of option, steam is great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this dryer about a month after replacing my washer(the matching lg washer) The dryer is one model newer since they both are for sale currently but the one to exactly match my washer was not instock anywhere at best buy. This dryer is great! Love all the features and all of the dry cycles, only wish I could change the temperature setting manually if I don't want the exact programmed one for a particular cycle. I can do this on the washer. You can only do this on the speed dry/manual cycles and It drys on time not sensor. The steam cycle and antibacterial cycle are such a nice upgrade. Throw all of your sweaters in the steam setting after they have been stored all summer and they come out fresh . You don't need a separate water line for the steam, just fill the container with tap water as needed. This dryer Drys fast, occasional load may not be totally dry like the waist on jeans but I just turn it back on for few minutes and done, but most of the time everything is dry. The wrinkle shield setting is awesome... Fluffs for hours if I don't get to it right away. Overall I would buy this again. Quiet, nice looking, glass front, great features. Best buys new warranty plans are worth it ! I did get it. Wish I'd have bought the washer here too. Sears plans are a rip off so I don't have warranty on my washer..

Huge Capacity, very quiet dryer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dryer has a huge capacity and is loaded with features. It's also very quiet which is nice for running at any time of the day or night. It dries the clothes very quickly and seems to do a great job of altering the duration--often for less time--based on moisture levels. The steam feature is also very handy for getting wrinkles out, or for sanitizing things you wouldn't normally wash such as pillows. I will update the review if we have any problems, but after a few weeks of heavy use it's doing very well.

LG 7.3 Cu. Ft. Steam Electric Dryer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent construction and a very solid dryer. No vibration at all and definitely the most quiet dryer I have owned to date. The steam feature is very convenient, I really like the way that you use a refillable water tank for the steam cycle, and you do not have to have an external water line. The selection of cycles is excellent and the dry sensor feature works really well, which also saves your clothes from being 'cooked' due to over drying.

Super Great Dryer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! Had this dryer exactly a month and wow! This dryer is full of amazing features, from the Antibacterial to the Steam Sanitary, my wife uses these to sanitize throw pillows and curtains. Its features are excellent for people with asthma. The Sensor Dry cycles are excellent, clothes will be dry and gentle. I recommend reading the owners manual to understand its features. The Easy Iron feature is great too, the Steam Fresh cycle is amazing to take wrinkles out of a couple of items very fast, I have nothing else to say except that my wife LOVES it and its Amazing dryer.

Great Dryer At A Great Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this dryer as an "Open Box". I believe it was still new as the factory tape was still on it. It was missing the shoe rack and has a small scratch on the door. The best part was this is a $999 dryer that was on sale for around $750 and we got this one for $525. What a deal! Before purchasing I researched dryers and a lot of different brands have very good rating so it came down to features vs price. This one won it hands down. The performance is excellent. We do not have a high efficiency washing machine so we do not have the advantage of less water in the clothing. This dryer dries our clothes in half the time of our old dryer. I tested it the first day and it is still continuing to perform at the same level. Less electricity being used and less wear on clothing as they do not have to be "baked" as long in order to dry (I believe this to be the larger drum allows the clothing to fall more freely and allows the hot air too circulate better). Some notes about the steam option for wrinkled clothes. LG uses a tank that you must fill instead of a direct water line. You will need to decide which works best for you. If your clothes are really wrinkled you will need to iron otherwise this works very well. Do not try to steam just one article of clothing or it will come out wet. You need to do 2-3 articles of clothing to prevent this. All in all a great dryer at a great deal and saves me money in the long run. The delivery team was excellent and even reversed the door for my wife. They were very friendly and professional. Great job!

Q: QuestionWater source for steam featureConnect to water line, or is it a water container that is filled manually?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Your inquiry is appreciated. The 7.3 cu.ft. Ultra Large High Efficiency SteamDryer™ w/ SteamSanitary™ has a Steam Feeder that must be manually filled with water up to the MAX line before the Steam Feature can be used. Distilled water cannot be used because the water level sensor in the steam generator will not work. The Steam Feeder should not be filled with foreign substances, rinse agents, or detergents!...IFV

Q: QuestionHow much depth space is needed for this dryer?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The specifications say the product depth is 28 3/8". To that you will have to add the depth of the dryer vent, if it is venting from the back and the dryer vent is protruding from the wall. You may want to check your current laundry configuration. In my case I had to allow for an extra 4" in the back for the vent.

Q: QuestionCan I Turn the Light On during the operation to watch?Is there a way to turn the light on during the operation of the dryer so I can watch it tumble through the window?

I know the light will come on after it is finished when opening the door but I want to be able to watch it in action. thanks.
