Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love this little miracle! What a neat invention. It’s perfect for small loads or forgetter items. Works great!!

Very easy to use and perfect to run delicates or small loads while also using the other washer above. I'm glad I got it.

If you have small lingerie or bath suites, this small unit uses far less water and is great for hand washing. Highly recommend!

This has her. Such a neat feature to have. You can run this little washer even while running a different load in the main washing machine!

So far we have had this LG Sidekick for 3 months and its great having an option for smaller loads and separating just socks or underwear from the main loads. Imagine just a sock load where you can wash and dry and sort instead of all mixed up with everything else. Streamlines sorting. Also you just want to wash a sports uniform or delicates separate at the same time you do a main load its worth spending a little bit more for an extra washer than just a plain Pedestal.

worked great as a small washer for need it now wash and to allow no bending transfer of clothes from wash to dry

This comes in handy for small loads like whites. I can wash them and a regular load in the big washer at the same time!

This small washer is AWESOME for small loads. Reduces the use of larger washer. Woks perfectly.

Very easy to use, Handy when you need to run small loads. - The options are also pretty good and provides lot of options.

Such an amazing idea. We constantly have athletic clothing or smaller loads (reds, baby clothes) that don’t require the full washer. I do wish detergent companies had a smaller size detergent pack for this to save on amount of detergent need. Highly recommended. We use this almost every other day after working out. They did a great job to ensure this matches color and specs for the drawer of the dryer so it looks the same.

Very happy with this purchase. Perfect for small loads and delicates. It allows me to do two loads at the same time. Easy to use.

It’s a great addition. When you have a small load of laundry, it’s really convenient and economical.

One big knock against this that really frustrated me that doesn’t have anything to do with function is that the manufacturer sticks a huge brightly colored sticker on the top door. When you try to remove it it leaves a ton of sticky residue that is almost impossible to clean off without scratching the heck out of the window (it is a plastic window). We ended up putting another bumper sticker over top of the disaster I created while trying to clean the adhesive off. With regards to the actual washer itself, it doesn’t seem work quite as well with stain removal as the main full-size washer but it is OK for straightforward laundry like undershirts, underwear, socks, etc. It helps speed up laundry day by getting an extra load running at the same time. Keep in mind that although another load is getting done, you still probably only have one dryer so that might limit the rate at which laundry is finished but if you hang dry a lot of stuff like my wife does then maybe it doesn’t matter for you. One other minor critique is that you have to leave the door open to dry the unit out at the end of laundry day otherwise moisture gets trapped and it begins to smell like mildew if you aren’t careful. We usually leave it open overnight and it dries out just fine and is ready to close and stow away until the next use. Overall, a neat concept and handy appliance to have.

I was a bit hesitant to buy this little washer but it is great. Great for small loads and for delicates/handwash/dryclean only

My husband scoffed at me because I wanted this. He thought it was silly. I USE IT ALL THE TIME! I LOVE IT! If you're thinking about it, do it! Put the dryer on the pedestal for storage and get the sidekick, you won't regret it. So handy to be able to was 2 loads at the same time!

We love it! It’s great for those small loads. Saves time, soap and water.

This had caught our eye from the time we saw this for the first time. This is an amazing buy for us. We can wash all smaller clothes or our new born baby clothes in this one without mixing it with the regular cycle. It is just the size of a pedestal and does wonders. This was the best part about getting the LG washer dryer

I was not sure at all about this but I was going to buy the two matching pedestals and after talking to the sales staff at best buy, thought it would be worth a shot. glad I did. You don't need two pedestals but the takes care of small loads that we used to store up, until we had a "full load" and then we had to decide which items should be included together in the "full load". A heck of a lot simpler!

I like the LG Side Kick pedestal washer. It's nice to be able to wash smaller loads that would be normally too small to run in the big machine. I like the fact that you can wash two loads at once saving time. There are a couple things I think are worth mentioning. First, unlike the main washer, the smaller washer does not have any ports for adding detergent and bleach, Which brings me to the second thing I want to point out and that is because of this if you need to wash whites, you'll need to pour the bleach in either before adding your clothes or after. Why do I bring this up, you ask? It's because on the bleach bottle label it says, "Do Not Pour Directly On Clothes". All in all this was a good purchase.

I love the sidekick washer! It allows you to wash smaller loads when needed. This is a must have for everyone.
