    This addition has been a great little tool for my daughters. I have two girls that are active in ballet and gymnastics. This little machine make for great, quick washes of their leotards and tights, without having to use all the water and electricity of firing up the larger washer to get these small loads done. It is also great for when someone needs one or two items washed right away and we don't quite have a full load to do. Also, it comes in handy when we find those stray socks or towels that missed the full load we had just started twenty minutes ago and is almost done. Such a great addition and use of space. Plus the added height makes using the larger front loader easier to access.

    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

    This "mini me" washer is a nice addition to my full size washer. I use it for small loads and delicates. I am glad it can be used at the same time as the full size washer or on its own. I am giving it 4 stars only because it does not have many options on the cycles, and it it not wifi. The wifi app shows this style can be, but I was told that the next models to come out will be. This is only a very minor issue, but it would have been nice to have it match up with the full size machines as far as wifi.

    I've only had it about 2 months but so far, I love it! Great for small loads or active wear. I have used it more than I thought I would and I usually use it for under garments. I did buy the extended warranty just in case but it seems to be working just fine. The only thing I don't like is there isn't a place to put detergent so you have to add it on top of the clothes or toss a pod in.

    Great sidekick for my washer. It is pricey however, we do use it for delicate and baby clothes. I also love the idea of washing two sets of clothes at once.

    I’m a guy, you know how I wash clothes? I jam the wash machine packed full until the door can hardly close. This was a solid method, until I got married, and was told that you apparently shouldn’t do that, especially with delicate clothes. Enter the Sidekick, now I have the ability to jam the upper washer full of my work clothes, and toss my wife’s delicate work shirts into their own wash, best part? I don’t get yelled at for ruining her clothes!

    This washer means you'll need an extra set of water hoes in the back. Also, since it operates independently, it needs its own power supply....meaning you'll need 3 (one for the dryer, and 2 the washer). It's small, just 1cu.....but good if you need to wash rags or a few things without having to fill up the big washer. I've also noticed that some water remains in the drum after use. Not a lot of water, but enough to make me leave it open for a day to dry-out. This is anoying since its like having a drawer sticking 12in out down low. Fortunately I keep the washer in the garage, so it doesn't get in the way unless i go to the garage.

    We’ve gotten used to adding soap in one cup, softener in another and just letting the machine run. You have to listen for a signal to add softener to the rinse cycle, pausing the wash adding the diluted softener and then restarting. I’ve had a challenge seeing the start / pause touch spot so put a small square of orange duct tape on the front to help find the button. I’m not real young and remember when all machines were this manual (....uh, no I didn’t use the ones with the wringers). Great for small delicate loads

    Perfect match for the larger capacity washer

    Since I can now wash all the cold water clothes in one load in my large capacity upper machine, I'm often left with a few clothes for either warm water, or for delicate. I can throw them in at the same time in the bottom drawer. I get two and half loads of laundry done in the time it used to take me to do one. Just follow the instructions on capacity and the clothes will come clean. This is not for whites that need hot water since you can only get cold or warm in the drawer. Fantastic for my undergarments, or for the "mom I need my sports uniform tomorrow" load.

    Since the pedestal cost about $200 and change, I'd recommend spending $400 more and get the mini-washer. It is perfect for small loads (like those few red items) that don't justify a full load. It uses about one tablespoon of liquid detergent, and has enough modes to cover any garment type (e.g. sports or cheer outfits, delicates, light cotton, jeans). If time is an issue when doing laundry you can basically halve your laundry time with the "sidekick."

    "My personal washer"

    I've learned to absolutely enjoy this little wash machine. I typically do not have as much laundry as my husband so I prefer to do smaller loads of my intimates and delicates in this bottom drawer. Since most of his active wear consists of darker colors and mine are brighter I can separate the loads and finish in half the time. I've dubbed it as mine and everyone in the family teases me about it lol. Truthfully, this washer is fabulous. It has several cycle choices, including hand wash. Don't hesitate and just splurge on this. You'll be thanking yourself later.

    The Side kick is an overall, great addition to the main loader. Fact is we needed more washing machine cubic feet but with limited space for the appliances. But with the sidekick, it solved all the problems, quite innovative

    We love this SideKick washer! Somewhat bought it on a whim and now we find ourselves using it all the time. Great for small quick washes or run it at the same time with when larger washer is running to get more clothes done fasher. Our son has a Summer job and he only has one shirt and pants currently. We wash his work clothes every evening after work in the SideKick. Awesome idea and we are total fans now. So glad we purchased this unit. We highly recommend adding this to your washer purchase.

    Makes washing clothes just better. Faster turn overs when washing. You can use the larger washer above it and they can work as stand alones too. This washer works perfect for small amounts of clothes and perfect for theough out the week washes.
