    I absolutely love my LG pedestal washer! It cleans all of my delicates beautifully without wearing them out. I have a lot of delicate clothing for work, and this LG pedestal washer has saved me so much money in dry cleaning. It has definitely paid for itself over and over!

    Bought a new washer. I did have the pedestal from my old one but I thought this could do small loads instead of using the large washer. Great for underclothes and workout clothes. Expensive but so far no problems and it cleans well. Just buy it with your new washer. We have always had LG and they work well. I hope to get 10 years out of this one. .

    Handy but it's a lot of money

    This is handy. With this we can wash two load at the same time when used in conjunction with the main washer. So that means it's a time saver. There are two main issues with the washer. First, it is pricey. Secondly, there's no dispenser for the soap, fabric softener, or bleach. You just have to dump it in the tub along with the clothes. That's why you can't use bleach. I expected more for this kind of money. That being said, the clothes do come out clean as expected. It does use the same soap as the main washer.

    Definitely a good buy. We replaced a 16 year old washer with this state of the art one. It has lots of features. Easy to hook up if you read the instructions. Make sure you order or buy the hoses too. We bought it with a steam dryer and washing machine, so water hookup gets a little more complicated, but instructions are easy to follow. Works great. Make sure if you have installed, they do it right. If dryer or washer on top, it needs screws to be secured.

    If anyone is wondering of this washer drawer is worth it - it is. I bought for my mom and she brags about it every single time she uses it. Great investment and it helps her finish laundry quickly. She uses it to was sweaters and garmets she typically separates.

    We have this mainly because my daughters are in dance and it is nice to do a small load with their leotards, etc. The only downside is the increase in hoses behind the washer. Plan on about 5” behind for them, unless you have the 90° angled ends, then plan about 3-4”. The cycle time is about 37 minutes for delicate. You will wonder why it stops and beeps about 17 minutes in...it’s the time you can add softener. Be careful because you have to pour liquid detergent directly into this...don’t get it on the clothes, it can leave a mark. I feel like it does a good job washing the clothes, except it may not get the detergent out of the clothes if you pour it on them accidentally. I wish it had the Smart ThinQ app connect.

    We have owned one before, leaving it at out old house. So when we purchased a new full sized washer, this was a no brainer. It gets a ton of use with our family of four doing quick sports gear washes or the delicates. Also, since we have a front loader for full sized, its nice to have a top loading mini. Its a luxury no doubt, but is pretty awesome!

    LOVE this sidekick washer. I waited to buy it on sale because i couldn’t justify the regular price. I wasn’t sure I’d use it a lot, but i do. Works well, quiet and is big enough for my lingerie, the kids’ sports clothes, etc. Would be nice if this was the WiFi model though.

    This little washing machine is a very nice addition to the main one. When I only have a few things to wash this is priceless. It saves water, it saves energy and I don't feel guilty running a washing machine for just a few things. Absolutely love it!

    So glad we bought the sidekick. Considering what the pedestals cost anyway I cannot recommend enough springing for the sidekicks. Given how large a load the washer can take you will have your smaller items and things that you shouldn't use softener on and the sidekick is perfect for those things.

    The Sidekick is very easy to use and is able to fit a smaller load of wash without any issues. Just wish you could use bleach in this appliance, when you have a small load of whites...

    This can be used for small loads, rather than using a full wash cycle. Easy to use, cleans well, and seems reliably built. Would certainly get this as an add-on to the washer (rather than buying the pedestal).

    Perfect for small loads of clothes, only thing I don't like is that it does not have compartments to dispense soap and softener. You have to use PODS

    We Goff as sidekick for the side by side washer and dryer. They’re worth the cost, and should be considered as standard option with these machines. Lg just rocks. Their cell phone department lags a little, but you can’t truly do it all at once everywhere and Awesome. Oled TV. The LG gram notebook i read is beautiful. Rank among the best in kitchen appliances, home entertainment, Life’s Good
