Interesting. Looks like the 4200 is the same dimensions as the 3900 (linked in the OP), but has a bigger capacity?
Yeah that's why I went with 4200. Wanted the extra room

The specs are wrong on Costco's website for the 4200, it's 3" deeper

Thanks for the reply. So, what all will I need to buy if I am buying washer/dryer set, going into a new home. I kind of remember reading somewhere in this thread that a Y-connector (or something like that) is needed for the steam option. If I go to HD, they will tell me which hose I need depending on the model?

I am kind of surprised that Costco is using rubber hoses if they are prone to leakage, I think Costco is better than this.
Yeah if you need Y connectors (what I called "tee", not sure what the real terminology is) then make sure it's solid metal. You don't want these in plastic.

These fancy washer/dryers are made to last about 5-6 years tops. Just over the warranty period. Buy the known brands that have been around since the 70's, the ugly boxy white washer/dryers. Those are made to last over a decade, and cost a fraction of the price.

I have a front-loading Samsung set I bought for $800-ish back in (2008?) that was some insanely slick deal. This was back when Samsung appliances didn't suck.

They ran 10 and 11 years without issue, then had to replace a sensor and heating element (just replaced all sensors since it was cheap) in the dryer and drain pump in the washer.

I thought 10+ years without issue was pretty good. The replacement components were less than $50 and easy to DIY (YouTube for the win!).

I think you're right, all of these newer units - especially the "smart" ones - are designed to fail and be expensive to fix. Personally, these aren't worth the premium for "smart" functionality given the cost of fixing a computer when they inevitably fail. Some things dinner need to be "smart".

Speed Queen if you want boxy and long lasting.

Does this stink like front loaders did? Or has that stuff been fixed?

Any thoughts on the pedestal options - washer pedestal vs storage pedestals? Which one is a better deal?

This one is better than most. Still you should dry the seal and leave the door open for at least 30 minutes after each use just to be safe. The seal is slightly different design then most to help keep it dry. It also has a clean mode you should run about once every month or so. I never had problems with odor on my previous front loader, but we cleaned the seal at the end of the days laundry...Doors and dispenser would be dried and left open at the end of laundry for the day.

GE has a Ultra Fresh Vent system which dries the seal for you...

Thanks! We bought a home and will need a new washer and dryer as our rental currently furnished some so we sold ours. Been torn since I absolutely love day top loading lgs... bit this is intriguing.

Can you guys tell me what's good about having WiFi on your washer/dryer/refrigerator? I know I am missing something!
I don't see any real answers. I have a whirlpool with wifi and detergent/ fabric softener dispensers. WiFi gives me 3 useful things..
1) delaying start for many reasons, such as someone in the shower, or leaving the house and need the wash load synced with when I get home. Can also pause wash from other side of the house if I'm needing all the hot water.
2) alerts for dispensers getting low. I think I get 30 or so washes in between fills. Love that feature.
3) remote "finished" alert. I'm usually out of earshot when the cycle completes. This keeps me from missing and forgetting about it.

Custom programs is kinda gimmicky. I haven't used that. I'd definitly get wifi again (and dispensers)

from everything ive researched: is it a front loading washer? if yes: it will stink if you dont 1) wipe off the inner front plastic door shield 2) wipe off the inner silicone door gasket, especially in the fold 3) wipe out the soap/softener bin 4) leave the soap/softener bin open 5) leave the door slightly ajar ... at the end of the day when you're done with laundry. add a 6) of once a month use 2 cups of white vinegar in the soap/softener bin and run normal wash cycle to clean out everything.
if you dont follow those 6 things, you may open yourself up to front loader washer stink. I dont have these washer/dryers yet but have seen plenty of yt during my research state these are basic things you need to do in order to reduce the chance of the stink being a thing for all front load washers.

my wife and I constantly forget about clothes in the dryer, biggest use for us would be to remotely hit them with a 15 minute "refresh dry" to reduce wrinkles in clothing prior to folding/hanging

Not sure I can add much...
Tells you if it thinks something is wrong with the machine.
Reminds you to run a tub clean
Small delays of wash/dry for whatever reason
Changing settings and verifying you have the settings you want...
Custom settings can be downloaded to your washer ...
Supposedly will communicate with dryer to optimize settings.

I think I bought the same set (lowes?). My washer died after 7 years.. well known issue with the spider bracket (holds the tub on the spindle) corroding out due to the wrong 2 metals touching. Would cost about 350 to repair and start the process over again. Nearly started a fire rubbing the gasket. Major design fkup.. I won't buy samsung appliances again over this.

The dryer has been OK.. heating element burns out once a year.
