I've had a unit like this for the past 12 years. The big positive, is being able to put a load in to wash and dry before leaving for work (or going to sleep) and having it done by the time I'm back. The negative - it takes 3-5 hours for a load to go through wash and dry. I dont recall this ever being an issue for me, as we dont typically have anything that needs to be washed and dried quickly - but thats something to keep in mind when considering this machine

Do you have a unit with an actual heat pump? Lg and other brands have sold other models that don't use heat pumps. They use a cooling plate powered by water which causes it to take much longer to dry. I have one of those units as well, and i agree its not for everyone cause if you need something dried fast or just cleaned fast its just not going to happen. But the heat pump based units are much faster (wash and dry in 2-3 hours). Slightly slower than a traditional drier . But pretty darn close in my opinion and no need to move the close saves you some time as well(unless you need to take things out of the drier to air dry). The other big change that takes people a bit to get used to that all ventless units have is that they build up humidity in the machine. When you open it up once the cloths is done the cloths will almost feel a bit moist. This is just cause the air in the chamber is a bit humid. But it does confuse people the first time around.

Overall, all-in-one units are amazing in their convenience and efficiency, but they introduce some new quirks that you do need to get used to. I personally don't think i can ever go back to any other type of unit.

I have been using the GE Profile all in one for the last couple of months and it takes about 2 hours for a full load. These newer models use heat pumps to generate hot air. Older models of all in ones used a different technology. Check and see what yours is. May explain why it takes so long.

So, potentially cheaper through HD? (edit: Backordered until March 19th in my market)
It is wm6998hba, but the one you linked to is 3998. Home Depot took it off their site, but here it is at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-5...Id=6568166

The model is WM6998HBA but that link is for an older model. The new one is 5.0 cu. ft. Link from Best Buy.

I had no idea these have exists for that long... I only found out about them like a few months ago. I've been thinking about getting one of these for my condo which is old and does not support in unit laundry due to old piping and no vents.

Combo units have been around for awhile, but this is a huge upgrade for the older combo units and is only just being released. Uses a heat pump, faster drying, larger capacity, and shouldn't have a lot of the issues the old ones had because they added a lint trap.

What are the results afterwards if I slightly overload the machine (load clothes and there is little to no space at the top of the drum) and then try to dry the clothes? You can typically get away with this since the dryer drum is typically larger than the wash drum (7-8cu ft. vs 4.5-5ft).

If I use the non heat pump, all in one washer/dryer sold in Europe or Asia, it takes a long time to dry, and comes out pretty damp. I typically have to fill it around 60 percent full if I want the clothes to come out mostly dry.

Anyone tried this with the GE equivalent machine get better results?


sidenote: GE aplliances has really turned things around ever since they got bought out by Haier. I'm surprised Haier doesn't sell their own rebadged version. They still sell the non heat pump washer/dryer combo units only.

Tempted, hoping the GE goes back to $1700 again this year at Costco. LG repairability vs GE seems like a nightmare.
Best buy open box prices are significantly lower than that if you're open to it

Thanks so much for the tip. I didn't realize that. I just started researching heatpump dryers for the rebates. I was watching the repairmen tear downs on youtube and they definitely recommended service contracts on these. So open box will more than make up for service contract I think.

Thanks again!

The GE Profile does not do very well with over loaded machines. And it works much better from a drying perspective if the laundry items are of more or less equal weight for drying e.g. jeans or towels may not dry as well when mixed with shirts. Keep in mind that this uses a fraction of the electricity of a traditional dryer though (I can see the difference on my Tesla Solar app which shows current draw). Using these machines almost forces you to rearrrange your wash schedule to do more smaller washes than once a week big washes. And you can time the wash so that it starts at a convenient time and is done when you wake up or get back from work. Start with dirty laundry and end with clean - with no need to move them between machines. This machine is also better at preventing wear on clothes as the heat is much gentler and is moist. You will not see any more static electricity. Thick socks may not come out 100% dry, but you just hang them up or spread them out for 30 mins and are good to go.

Get two for twice the price, then you can wash two loads at a time and have a back up!
Even better, for the same price just get four washers and four dryers! Then you're basically failure-proof!

How do you deal with lints? I regularly clean my dryer filter and remove tons of them. Do they stay on the clothes with this machine?

If you recall, your washer only requires 120v. It is the dryer that needs 240 because of the heating element (dryers, electric ovens, electric heaters all tend to be energy hogs). This machine uses a heat pump to generate hot air for drying and can run at 120v (like a refrigerator in reverse). It does not put out as much heat as a regular dryer and takes slightly longer to dry but there is much less wear and tear to your clothes and no static at all.
No static, that's huge for me.
