    The little brother to the new Wash/Dryer Combo

    Posted .

    First there is Siri and Alexa, then we get chatgpt4 with google AI with Baird and Microsoft copilot. Now LG Electronics comes out with an AI enabled combo washer and dryer. Yes, washer and dryer with a heat pump to eliminate the dryer vent. I wasn’t able to get into the manual before my wife had it connect to the LG app on her iPhone and changing the settings and starting a wash. I read that on larger loads it does take a little longer to dry than a traditional dryer and they are right. But my wife runs it when she goes to work and it’s done when I come home. I have been around a lot of innovation projects at some large companies and LG has really pushed the envelope on this unit. It senses your loads and identifies how dirty the clothes are and then takes care of the rest with the AI Wash and Dry setting. If you don’t trust the AI to take over your washing duties yet, then select from 15 other wash cycles. We decided to let it take over the duties. From the auto detergent and softener dispenser to the ventless design and top lint collector, they have simplified the laundry process for me and my family. Not to forget the little brother unit (underneath) that I also picked up. The #LGSideKickPedestalWasher. My wife and girls like it for washing smaller loads and their undergarments that need a little more TLC or just need to be air dried. As my wife said, Life is Good

    Except for the fact that the salesman didn’t mention that we needed to have 2 outlets to be able to run this with the matching front load washer, which we quickly remedied by hiring an electrician, this was a great purchase!! Love being able to run 2 loads at a time, does a great job!

    Handy extra storage for smaller items such as extra dryer sheets, stain removers, laundry detergent strips, dryer balls, etc. My last set of front load washer/dryer was on the floor instead of pedestals. It was difficult to get to the clothes in the back of the unit. I will go with pedestals from now on. It is much easier to the clothes out or the washer and dryer without straining your back.

    Love this! It makes so much sense. I need the pedestals for height, but the pedestal under the dryer is sufficient for my storage needs. The sidekick makes my laundry so much more efficient. It's great for hand wash, delicates, things that don't go in the dryer, more precise color sorting, and isolating things like muddy clothes, tennis shoes, etc.

    I never knew I would need this small washer. My washer and dryer both had issues, after 15 years of perfect washings they decided to break down at the same time. Time for a new set, we purchased the LG washer, Sidekickand & dryer. I was intrigued by the Sidekick and thought why not, just get it. I am happy I did, it's great for a small load and it's quick to wash, plus it is quiet, and efficient. Happy to have it!

    I must say I’m over satisfied with this purchase. It’s very neat under the appliance, allows great range to load and unload. The price is not what’s important it’s the satisfaction you get from having this product.

    We have a large family and actually need something like this. It works as advertised, it’s primarily for Delicates and things like that, the one draw back Is the owner manual says not to use bleach but we have enough whites we’re really not using it for that. It works great for the kids baseball uniforms or my daughter’s volleyball uniform or just sweaters and things like that. Between this and the full-size EZ- dispense washing machine we are saving $30 a month in detergent and softener, I’m sure we lowered our electric bill, the clothes are cleaner with a lot less drying time.

    This is a really nice idea I’d you often have small loads like daily children’s clothes or delicates. It works nice after getting used to it. One thing to note is that it only takes liquid soap. You can’t use powder or pods in the sidekick.

    My wife washes a bunch items that she hang drys, due them being either workout stuff or bras, stuff that doesn’t need go in dryer, plus we bought this to go with the all in LG washer dryer unit and I have to say it works great in that capacity as a supliment to that machine. As far its use it is small but we knew that and it was intended for that specific use. The latch on it is a hard plastic so I am slight concerned how it will hold up over time. But others a great product that uses very little detergent

    I like having options, but I find I don’t use it very often. I like the easy of use and easily do more loads that are wool, or towels. My only concern is I do hear water sitting in the bottom. When I haven’t used it for a month the water sound isn’t there. So I know it takes time to evaporate (Smell over time?!).

    LG Hand Wash only washer

    I was excited to get this product but it didn’t fit on our plastic bin. Our laundry room is on the second floor so our washer needed to be on a bin in case of water drainage, so double check sizing before buying if your laundry room in on the second floor. We had to return ours and it was a pain dealing with the return because we needed Beat Buy to send over people to disassemble this part from the main washer. We couldn’t do it ourselves and at first they didn’t want to send someone to disassemble and take it. They wanted us to do it, which we can’t.
