5 Sleek and impressive! LG wins again.
Posted by Ryan Vazquez on Nov 3rd 2024
Preface; replaced a set of LG front loaders that were 15+ years old, and had no reason to look to a different brand as we had very good success with LG. Debated between this and the 4000 series models, opted for the newer model, as it was basically the same price as the 4000 series. Also didn't have depth to new other brands, this unit only measures 29.75 inches deep, which is what our old unit was, so knew it would fit into laundry closet. No regrets so far, although we are only about 2 weeks into new ownership. Drying controls are all in one centered digital dial, which I wasn't sure how I'd feel about, but they are super easy to use and follow. Many pre programmed cycles, as well as the ability to create your own. Drying times are significantly better than our old unit, which, isn't surprising since they were 15 years old! But the matching washer spin cycle gets a lot more water out of the clothes than the old unit as well, which means less drying time. Yes, this is also a smart featured unit, you don't have to use those features, but if paired with your phone, you will be able to get notifications of cycles done, it will track how many cycles you've run and help monitor proper cleaning, etc, and you can set it up to actually remotely start (or restart) the unit if you aren't in the same room. Oh, and you can 'pair' it with the matching washer, and the dryer will know the approximate size of load you just washed and dry accordingly. Have only tried that once so far, but it seemed to work! Again, wasn't sure how I'd feel about having all those 'extras' but it's really kinda cool if you are into tech at all! Overall, very pleased with the dryer so far. Lint filter very easy to clean. Drying times much lower. Recommended!

Good for the the price dryer. The smart features aren’t over the top, and it dries very well. I also love the large tub compared to the small frame.

1 This dryer is more trouble than it’s worth.
Posted by Miranda Harper on Sep 29th 2024
I wish I could’ve rated this unit much higher, especially since the washing machine this pairs with is excellent, but after going through two different units, I will be returning it. I could not get this dryer to properly dry a single load. After speaking to multiple friends who own an LG dryer, the Flow Sense sensor is far too sensitive and incorrectly reports having an “Home Exhaust Blockage” where none exist. In theory, Flow Sense could be a great feature that alerts you to the presence of too much lint in your home exhaust vents and hopefully prevent a fire. But the calibration for this sensor is off, WAY off. Once the dryer even thinks there a blockage, it deactivates heat and prematurely terminates the load, leaving all of your clothes wet. Even after multiple, thorough cleaning of my home vents, this dryer insisted there’s a duct blockage. This is frustrating and unacceptable, to say the least. In the worst case scenario, this dryer could possibly cause someone to spend hundred of dollars unnecessarily on home dryer vent cleanings. LG needs to sort this out and make sure the dryer has the option to be calibrated to different home exhausts so it knows whether a blockage actually exists and where it does not.
