4.2 cu.ft. Compact Electric Condensing Front Load Dryer

Not what I expected

Chris54 3/3/2020

I bought this with a washer/dyer stackable for a small area. The dryer is a great size but does not measure up for me. My previous dryer was an LG and performed wonderfully. The problem with this one is lack of options control on the dryer temps. This dryer runs extremely hot. I use it mainly for sheets and towels and am concerned about how much life will be left in them drying at hot temps. I am playing around with the controls and find I can use Manual or Mixed Fabrics to get a lower setting. Another flaw is that the sheets tend to ball up. After about 20 minutes I have to go and separate them no matter how I place them in the dryer. I now dry the towels in one batch and the sheets in the other they still ball up. On the upside the condenser tube goes directly into the drain eliminating the water reservoir.

Wouldnt know broke after 2 days

Aabbey Gonzalez 3/2/2020

Would know product was damaged during shipping and LG and Home Depot are working on getting new dryer to us. This was 4 weeks ago and its been a hassle and difficult. LG has been great with customer service but between Home Depot and LG serious issues on speed of accepting who should replace and promptness. In the meantime we have no dryer and wont be getting one Until supposedly end of this week.

Excellent ventless dryer

formerlygrateful 1/29/2020

I bought this a few weeks ago from Home Depot and it has performed very well as a ventless dryer. It fits very well in the restricted space I have available where there is no vent to the outside. It does generate some heat but it drys well on all the many supplied settings. It also allows for some customization such as level of drying heat with each setting and the amount of water it collects in the reservoir is quite minimal.

Lint tray

mnll 1/25/2020

Love the dryer except the lint try is flawed Every 3 months I have to remove the lint try holder to get the lint removed that is stuck from the tray going up and down each time you clean it. At first the edges we thought were melting but in fact the stick up because lint builds up below. I wont buy another LG dryer till they change the tray design since I am tired after 5+ years of cleaning the tray every 3 months.

Works well as advertised

Floridian8 1/23/2020

Ive had this dryer a month and there have been no problems. I switched from a conventional ducted dryer because my vent runs to the roof and it keeps getting clogged with lint. The dryer is nice and quiet but it does blow a small amount of heat out thru the bottom front of the unit. This is great for the winter and helps heat the house but not so good when the A/C is running. The moisture sensor keeps the dryer running longer than needed so I have to keep setting it on Less Dry. The lint trap does a good job and I havent seen any lint floating around on the floor. Cleaning the lint trap after every load is a must. Instead of a loud irritating buzz when the dryer is finished there is a nice melody with a high low or off control. The removed water is run to the washer drain so no problem there. The drum is smaller than a conventional unit and it takes a little longer to dry the clothes but the heat pump is efficient with the electric bill running the same as the last 3 years for this same month. Best of all no more trips to the roof to unclog the vent.

Excellent performance in spite of its compact size

Anthony N R 1/19/2020

So impressed with the performance. A little complicated at first but the LG helpline came to the rescue immediately.

I like the fact that the dryer is marked so well that it is easy to determine the appropriate setting.

Restart required

Robbin V 11/18/2019

We bought the washer and dryer set 2 years ago. The dryer has been shutting off after approximately two minutes on EVERY load. It will restart by pushing the start button and many times will shut off again. After the second restart it will continue to run. I have cleaned the condenser and the moisture sensor with no improvement. Rarely does it fully dry every item in the dryer.

I bought the LG washer and dryer to put in a bathroom upstairs where the bedrooms are. I am so happy I do not have to go down all those steps to the basement for the laundry. Washer works great. The dryer which is ventless takes a little longer than a regular gas dryer but this is not a problem for me. I have a laundry 2 tier tripod dryer rack to put in my bathtub as needed and I use this to hang laundry to air dry completely. I really do not like having the laundry staying in a hot dryer to long anyway.

Purchased as part of a set for a new upstairs W/D. However dissapointed to learn that you cant switch the door opening. Also retailer failed to deliver one of the hoses needed but LG sorted it.

Like going back to line dry

Life is not so good w LG 9/18/2019

Ive had this dryer for 5 months and it has been a problem since day one. The model of this dryer I have takes a ridiculous amount of time to dry a load of clothes on any setting. Today two hours for a relatively small load of wash. So very frustrating. The dry overheats and then wont spin until it cools down when I try to dry more than one load after another. My 19 year old dryer which this replaced worked 10 times better.

Dries better than I thought it would

nansed 9/18/2019

I am very happy with the dryer. I was afraid it would not dry completely or take a very long time to do so. Not so....it dries very well and in the same time as my old vented dryer did.

I was unable to by-pass the condenser reservoir. I had to empty it after every dryer load. Difficult for short person to handle the reservoir tray. This model should have the ability to by-pass the reservoir

We just purchased our new LG washer and Dryer and so far it is great except it is a little small for our loads but that is all the bigger that we could put in our closet.

Look elsewhere or invest in a clothing line.

John Buse 7/5/2019

I like my LG dryer but the corner of the lint filter keeps melting creating an edge which twists and rips my clothing. This seems to be an issue many people are having but one which LG isnt responding to. I certainly wont be buying another LG again if I have to buy a replacement part every couple of months just so my clothes wont get ruined. I would stay away from LG dryers until this issue is resolved. Im rating this dryer as poor because it is destroying my clothes.

So far so good---however

artsb2012 6/19/2019

Bought this machine in the last month or so... so it is still new. We are still learning and experimenting with the drying cycles learnimg how not to roast the load. We have taken clothes out of the dryer more than a few times before the dry cycle was complete. Weve read there is a cool-down cycle for five minutes before the machine stops however we often pull out laundry as much as 15 minutes before it would have stopped. And we will keep going back to the manual.

Perfect Dryer for my laundry space

Bruce846 6/12/2019

This unit is very nicely made with intuitive settings/controls and the condensing feature saved me a lot of venting costs. It does put some heat into the house and I set it up to pump into the drain.

Good so far

Journey81 5/10/2019

Have owned this dryer for over a month. Use every day. Pros: clothes come out dry dont have to use outside venting that needed frequent cleaning sufficient capacity many drying options has lots of features touch controls work well stainless steel drum looks solid light inside is useful drying cycle if not as short as traditional dryer is acceptable choice of emptying water tank by hand or through included hose directly into the drain. Cons: generates a lot of heat wouldnt call it loud but is not super quiet either.

Great compact dryer

patty321 5/7/2019

I havent had my dryer too long but so far I am very pleased with it Works so much better than my old ventless dryer For condo/apartment dwellers that need a ventless dryer this is working great for me. So easy to use and to empty the water tank. My clothes are drying relatively quickly similar to many high efficiency full size dryers that Ive used. I tend to wash/dry smaller loads avoid overloading the dryer and sometimes remove articles prior to over-drying them. My towels are drying quickly and thoroughly. All in all I am very happy with my purchase

Laundry days have never been better

CToliver 3/31/2019

It has just been a few weeks but so far I am happy with this purchase. I needed a ventless dryer for my condo. I had to research and search to find a stackable washer and dryer that met my needs. Reviews on ventless dryers were mixed but I had no choice. When I found the right pair I had to wait a month to get it. On delivery day the tecnician almost didnt install it because he didnt think it came with a stacking kit. It does I insisted. Its in the box with the dryer. All that to say I finally got to do my laundry. I was initially intimidated by all the bells and whistles. It literally sings to you when done. I took the time to read the instructions. Best tip. Use the prelabeled settings. They work like a charm. Clothes are ckean and dry. Set it. Forget it. Til you hear the music that is.

Cute

Rooey 9/20/2018

I havent had this dryer very long but so far so good. I had wanted to hook it up to the washer outlet but it seems I need a plumber to help do that so Ive been emptying the drawer with the water in it. The clothes get dry on the cotton setting and I havent tried most of the others yet. I want to know if I can put it on a platform so the heat it puts out can be directed somewhere. Much safer than the badly vented dryer I had previously.

Dries well

gopher 6/18/2018

Unusual to have a ventless dryer however it does work well to dry clothes as programmed on lots of different cycles. The condensation is routed to the drain not the catchment vessel which is convenient eliminates emptying the tray and nice not to have a vent to the outside to monitor. It does generate quite a bit of heat and some humidity so essential to have the space well vented or perhaps even turn on an exhaust fan during operation. Not sure about long term repair record as Ive only owned for a month or so.
