    Pros: I have nothing
    Cons: Havning to use it

    Summary: My wife and I moved into a town home recently that has one of these. "That's convenient," I thought, as I pondered how much time would likely be saved by having the washing and drying take place in the same machine. Well, folks, I was SADLY mistaken. ... read more

    Pros: Can use as a washer only, dryer only or both.
    Cons: None, just change your "old" mindset on how to do laundry

    Summary: I bought the 4.0 cu ft LG combo washer/dryer in July 2012, and I absolutely LOVE it.  I read the instructions *and followed them*, as it is a totally different laundry mindset/methodology. &nbs p; Rather than spending one or two full days eac ... read more

    Pros: all-in-one convenience, small size
    Cons: most wrinkle-inducing laundry machine, very noisy, low capacity, way too long full wash cycle time

    Summary: I am stunned others have written with praise for this machine. Its shortest cycle is 3-4 HOURS, it is noisy (spin sounds like a turbine), has low capacity, and delivers the most wrinkled clean cloths I've seen ever. Even compared to our teenage son's ... read more

    No way to clean lint so it builds up and prevents drying

    Pros: Very gentle on clothes. Clothes come out smooth and fluffy and dry fully on removal.
    Cons: Long cycle but ideal for overnight loads.

    Summary: I bought a LG WM-3431 16 months ago because I live in an apartment where the lease prohibits washers and dryers. I was disgusted with the messy laundry room and decided to quietly violate the lease and get my own washer. The LG WM-3431 seemed to be the ... read more

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 5, 2009
    Pros: Works as described in other posts- but not for long!
    Cons: Catch 22- the needed recurring maintenance not covered under warranty.  $200 to clear a vent.

    Summary: It's great when it works, but it turns into a WASHER only in less than a year. Costly "maintenance" not covered under warranty. Get the washer only, you'll be schlepping to a laundromat to dry anyway.I read the reviews here and thought I was prepared for ... read more

    Summary: I've used my LG WM3431 Ventless Washer Dryer machine for 5 months now, and I love it! No more "sharing" the laundry machines with my building neighbors is worth the price itself. This little machine is great for a single person and really gets the ... read more

    Pros: Cleans well; many options for wash and dry.
    Cons: Drum a bit small, unfortunate design flaw making ownership unpleasant.

    Summary: I've wanted to love this machine for the entire 3 years I have owned it.  However, it has required service at least 5 times.  There is a design flaw that permits lint to accumulate in the vent tube utilized during the dry cycle.

    Pros: better than beating your clothes on a rock.  I think
    Cons: See above.

    Summary: How can anyone live with this machine?  It takes 4:30 hours to do a small load, the clothes come out wet or, if dry, so wrinkled that they're unwearable without an ironing.  The "miracle" of how it dries things, to circulate heat and then pull

    Pros: Good performance, good water/detergent/energy economy,
    many features
    Cons: Terrible customer support

    Summary: This is "the" washer/dryer for water and electricity savings, as well as space savings. Used it without a problem for 5 years, until ball bearings needed replacing. Even though large appliances should last a minimum of 10 years, LG does not manufacture

    Pros: Gave me room for a cabinet in my laundry room
    Cons: Loud, doesn't dry, clothes get ultra-wrinkled, can only wash about 10 items, takes forever!

    Summary: I bought my LG washer/dryer May 2007.  It was instant love!  Throw a load in, turn it on and forget it until it was done.  But after a year of undried loads, ultra wrinkled clothes and spending more time ironing in the past year than I

    Pros: It's ventless so you can use it without access to an outside wall.
    Cons: It doesn't rinse out the soap, and leaves clothes wrinkled.

    Summary: I'm waiting for Expo to pick the unit up and take it back. I don't know if this is typical but the unit I received is horrible. I can't use more than 1 tablespoon of high efficiency soap or there are still lots of bubbles even after the 3rd wash with

    Cons: tricky drying wrinkle-free

    Summary: I bought my LG WM3431hw washer/dryer about a month ago, and i could not be happier. The manufacturer needs to put a big lable on the back saying "be sure to remove shipping bolts". My son set it up for me (without reading the manual) and i was dismayed

    Pros: Energy saver supreme, washes 540 Threadcount queen sheet set plus 4 pillowcases no problem .
    Cons: Longer cycles, some occasional wrinkling which is better controlled by not overloading.

    Summary: It's cost is around $18 per year ($11 if you heat water by natural gas) to use the machine 8 times a week. When I first got it I was spending $30.00 a month at the laundry so if it cost $18.00 a month I was way ahead but as it turns out it is $18.00 or

    Pros: Great convenience for mom with kids away at college and lighter loads to wash.
    Cons: Can only process one load at a time.

    Summary: The good: quiet, energy efficient, water & detergent conserving. You can load clothes and not be home to put them into the dryer, set the delay and have them ready in the morning when you get up to fold them. The front loader cleans my clothes so much

    Summary: I own this item. Looks great..lots of fancy buttons. We've had it for 3 months and the motor gave out! I bought this at Best Buy and wonder if I'm going to be getting the run-around when I call them. Whatever happened to the nice dial washing machines

    Cons: loud pump

    Summary: I truly love this machine. I had a different washer/dryer combo before this (an Equator), and it washed the clothes OK, but they would just NEVER dry, no longer how long I left them in the dry cycle. So when it was time to replace it, I figured that

    Cons: Pricey.

    Summary: We have owned the LG washer/ventless dryer combo since January 2006, and agree that it is the best washer we have ever owned. Yes, it was pricey, but well worth the extra expense. Reliable, quiet, and you can set it to wash and dry a load simultaneously.
