LoDecibel Quiet Operation
Run the dryer whenever you want, without interrupting naptime or your favorite show. This dryer is designed for quiet operation, from the motor to the cabinet to individual components. Pleasant end-of-cycle chime lets you know when clothes are dry.
Reversible Door
When space is tight or your laundry room doesn’t fit a “typical” setup, this dryer’s door can easily be reversed to fit your needs. Go from a right swing to a left swing in minutes—just unscrew the hinges and reattach using the pre-drilled holes on the opposite side.
Wrinkle Care Option
When you hate wrinkles but can’t remove clothes as soon as they’re dry, just select the Wrinkle Care option before hitting start. The dryer will periodically tumble the load for up to 3 hours after the cycle is done or until the door is opened to help keep wrinkles at bay.
Tempered Glass Door with Chrome Rim
LG front load washers and dryers use tempered glass doors for a sleek, stylish look that resists shock and scratches. Chrome door rim and matching digital control knob complement the door and enhance the premium feel.
NeveRust Stainless Steel Drum
Just because you want your dryer to last for years doesn’t mean you want it to look its age. The NeveRust Stainless Steel Drum is built to last.
LG Pedestal Storage Drawer Compatible (27")

LG 7.4 Cu. Ft. Smart Gas Dryer with Steam and Sens
I recently purchased the **LG 7.4 Cu. Ft. Smart Gas Dryer with Steam and Sensor Dry in Graphite Steel**, and I couldn't be more satisfied! The sleek design in graphite steel not only looks fantastic in my laundry room but also delivers top-notch performance. The **steam function** is a game-changer, effectively removing wrinkles and leaving my clothes looking fresh and ready to wear without the need for ironing. One of the standout features is the **Sensor Dry technology**, which adjusts drying time based on the moisture level in the clothes. This not only ensures perfectly dry clothes every time but also prevents over-drying, which can wear out fabrics. I love that it’s both **energy-efficient** and gentle on my clothes. The **smart capabilities** are incredibly convenient—being able to control and monitor the dryer from my phone through the ThinQ app is a great bonus. It's perfect for those busy days when I need to multitask. Overall, this dryer has exceeded my expectations. It’s efficient, quiet, and packed with useful features. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance dryer that takes the hassle out of laundry!

some of the best of me
I recommend this appliance. I am satisfied with it. In my family we do not expect something like this quality, but after my purchase I recommend it. It has a very slow noise and a quality that does not wear out my clothes.

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.
