“I washed a load of towels, 9 towels to be exact.. the dryer is says 3 HOURS to dry 😳Why is that, to many towels? The "advertising" says less than 2 hours to wash AND dry... Which is one of the reasons I bought it.”

It'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.

So far very disappointed in this new expensive all in one unit. I had high hopes for laundry to be done when I get home and was looking forward to not waiting for it to dry.

For my personal situation it is well worth it was well worth it not to have to run the vent one and to be able to start with dirty closes and end up with clean dry close with a single machine. Put the dirty loses in at night and take out clean dry close in the morning.

The LG WM6998HBA All-in-One Washer/Dryer is advertised to wash and dry in under 2 hours. The extended drying time of 3 hours for 9 towels may be due to the towels being heavy and requiring additional drying time. The advertised wash and dry time is based on normal conditions and average load sizes. Heavier items such as towels can retain more moisture, leading to a longer drying cycle.
