Has broken down twice in less than a year, luckily I bought the extended warranty because miraculously it stopped working right after the manufacturer warranty expired, DO NOT purchase any Samsung appliances they break down every time right after the manufacturer warranty expires
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Works ok, but takes along time to dry especially when in AI mode, like that no dryer vent is needed.

I’ve had this for 10 months and I can't stand it. I regret the purchase every day.
Every time I run a load I have to spend 5 minutes cleaning lint off of the door seal.
Every time I run a load it shakes and rattles and makes a general racket.
About half the time I run a load it runs for hours and hours and I end up with damp laundry anyway.
The lint filter is on the top so you can’t stack anything on top.

Hi, Flaximus. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand your concern about the LG Wash Combo (WM6998HBA) model. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. For the lint buildup on the door seal, we recommend checking the lint filter, as well as the drain pump filter, to ensure they’re clean and clear of any debris. If the buildup persists, please reach out to us so we can guide you through additional troubleshooting steps or explore service options. If the washer is not properly leveled, it can cause excessive vibration and noise. Make sure the washer is on a flat, level surface, and check that the adjustable feet are properly positioned. For the long wash cycles, and damp laundry, we suggest checking the cycle type and ensuring the load isn’t overloaded, as that can sometimes affect both washing and drying efficiency. If the issue continues, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport with your case details, and we’ll work with you to troubleshoot further or look into potential repairs. ^Juvy

Bought a scratch-and-dent washer/dryer combo at the Best Buy Outlet in San Antonio. Perfect-condition models of this $3,000 appliance marked down to $1,900 in all Best Buy locations for Black Friday; this one reduced to $1,250. Same Black Friday promotional benefits ($200 gift card, 24-month no-interest financing, additional benefits for opening their credit card) and full manufacturer warranty still applied. I'll be back when the fridge goes out!

It started out fine, fit nicely in a cramped space, worked well for the first month or so.
But it slowly started taking longer and longer to dry, and started running too hot, even on delicate and cold-wash cycles. It has trouble draining the moisture from the heat-pump cycle as well, until every drawer, filter, and vent is constantly damp, no matter how often you try to clean out the tub and filters and let it cool between loads.

Generally speaking the all in one combo does an excellent job washing clothes and is a great dryer as well.
For the most part the LG appears to be well designed from a user perspective. This goes from the mundane like the lint trap to the esoteric like the best combination of washing and drying functions. The LG app is well designed and reasonably easy to install and use.
One of the big benefits that we received from the combo unit was that since it uses less space than a traditional washer plus dryer setup, we gained more useable room in our small washroom.
Finally, the relatively large washing/drying capacity has made our workflow much easier.

Drying Time a Severe issue

When I heard LG had a new Combo unit to compete with LG and it was even more compact- 9 inches shorter I was super excited. This unit simply did not dry. I talked to some reviews who had no problems so I don't know if I had a dud unit, or if it was set up by the installers incorrectly but we are talking VERY small loads. Like 3-4 items.
I tried reaching out to LG on Twitter like they tell people and they tried to help but they had no idea. Tehy basdically just explain that these units dried differently. I went back to the GE combo unit which has no problems drying,
Also note- besides the 5 CU ft of capacity they pretty much say in the manual that there is no way it will dry that. They tell you to only keep it half full. What is the point of 5 CU feet of space if you can't actually dry it.
I know LG has a great brand but I think this product has too many compromises.

As a fan of technology and a champion for change, I had high hopes for this washer-dryer combo. I believed the savings in heating and drying electricity and time would outweigh the sacrifice of having a perfect device or a pair of devices. However, the washer-dryer combo did not meet my expectations. I struggled to convince my wife that we needed to adapt and embrace change, which I had promoted as a great thing. Unfortunately, I ended up feeling like a snake oil salesman because this unit fell short. The time it takes to complete a load of laundry is completely unsustainable for a family of four, even if you do laundry every day, which is not a lot of clothes. I hope you have a really good iron and ironing board if you decide to own this unit. I’d recommend saving the money, sacrificing the space, and spending a little bit more on electricity to get a traditional washer-dryer setup.
