LG's WashTower does a perfectly fine job drying laundry, and we really like how the device automatically assigns an appropriate drying cycle based on what cycle you selected for the washer. The dryer, located at the top of the device, has a spacious 7.4-cubic-foot drum, large enough to accommodate most families. If you’re looking for other options and don’t mind paying extra, we recommend checking out the Samsung WF45R6100AW and Samsung DVE45R6100C. We don't see many washer-dryer pairs that feature such great performance at such a low price. The WashTower offers solid washing and drying capabilities and uses a lot less energy and water than average. If you aren’t the type to fiddle with all the cycle customization options, this small efficiency becomes a boon. Also, the washer coordinates with the dryer to automatically assign cycles. It is a fully integrated laundry center (meaning it's all one piece rather than two stacked pieces), featuring a stacked design to help it fit into smaller spaces. Makes shopping for washers and dryers a lot easier, as in you only have to buy one machine, rather than two. For starters, the LG WashTower WKEX200HBA And, now that it has hit the market and we've had a chance to test it out ourselves, we are excited to tell you why we recommend it. Homey_bird, look up the models of your current machines to check for a stacking kit, which is a set of brackets to anchor/secure the dryer atop the washer.When LG announced its forthcoming LG WashTower last October, our cool new product alarm bells rang. then any dryer that fits can be set on the shelf. A workaround is build a sturdy partition shelf arrangement with the washer beneath and the dryer sitting on the shelf above it. Same-brand non-matching models typically are less of a challenge. Non-matching frontloader pairs can sometimes be stacked if a method can be devised to secure the dryer atop the washer, even if they're different brands. Yes, the entire LG WashTower unit would need to be replaced if either the washer or dryer failed and couldn't be repaired. Westinghouse at one time offered models with either top controls (non-stackable) or front controls (stackable/undercounter). Three Westinghouse sets of different timeframes and an early 2000s Maytag Neptune (washer on left). These pics are examples of non-stackable frontload washers and matching dryers regards to backsplash control panels on top. At that time, my washer wasn't working well, so I replaced the set (it was not a hardship to replace a dryer almost 12 years old anyway). I've had several LG sets in several homes and I've never needed maintenance or replacement in less than 11.5 years. I figure that would be wasting energy and harming the clothes, so I choose the timed dry option.Īs for replacing them both if one dies: That's usually a requirement for all stacked washers/dryers anyway, since it's often hard to replace just one of a pair that's been purchased to fit on top of one another.
I find my clothes are dry in 30-40 minutes at medium heat, whereas many of the programmed times are 50-60 minutes at a higher heat. The only thing I really don't like is that the dryer cycles - if you choose a cycle - are all too long fortunately, I have the option to choose "timed dry", where I can choose the heat level and time. I can vouch for its quality and effectiveness though - I am very happy with how it handles my washing needs. I bought a Washtower 5 months ago, so no comments on longevity.
