1) I often don't get a chance to move cloths right after the cycle is done
2) If I completely forgot to move it, I had the stinky cloths issue where I had to rewash it and hope most of the smell disappears
3) I now run large load of clothes at night and wake up to fresh dry clothes
Also make sure you religiously clean the various filters on this as there have been reports of All in One units having issues due to lint/etc clogging things (downside of being an early adopter, you're the beta tester of designs)
Plan on ~monthly maintenance: clean refill soap dispensers; wipe with damp cloth or rinse lint vent, door seal, and heat pump radiator fins (carefully, I use a toothbrush); clean out the washer filter, run a tub clean cycle.
Dry garments made mostly with synthetics separate from natural fiber for more even & accurate drying. Some dampness feeling at the end of drying can be shaken off (closed air drying system).
Mostly automated washing & drying, more free space without a separate dryer, my electric bill is noticeably less, and now using the dryer doesn't involve pushing conditioned air out of the home.

On the other hand I would test & closely monitor what happens when both machines drain at the same time if the piping can't handle it and it overflows that's a mess you don't want.

I was the earliest adopter possible.
Got this for $1700 as LG rolled this out last year.
As for the space saving all in one functionality, I love every bit of it.
I started running into problems with the drying sensor.
It would get down to under 10 mins and then it reset itself again for another few minutes.
Sometimes it gets in an endless loop and the machine gets very hot.
I just have to remember to to turn it off.
I need to call service for this before the warranty ends.
I'm thinking about sending the $200 for the extra 2 yrs since I'm having problems.
This technology is still being perfected and I understand that as an early adoptee.
I would easily buy this for $1300 and buy the extra 2 yr warranty.

I think I will stay with the current washer and dryer setup.
I'm having a hard time finding direct comparisons with the 3 new AIO heat pumps that seem to be out right now (GE , Samsung , LG)
If trusting of Costco.com reviews, the Samsung fares better at 4.5 vs the LG at 4.0
It ended up being $600 (after discounts) more than a comparable wash tower but now I have a large wash center. The slow dry time (roughly 2x) of a normal dryer is what makes a second separate dryer necessary.
I have a gut feeling that we won't get better prices on these into the future. Another benefit is that newer technology usually gets over engineered from the home country (in this case South Korea.
