Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Crossed wires and crossed communication

Snowdesign 9/19/2024

We had a lot of trouble with the installation of this dryer by the team sent out by Home Depot when they crossed the electrical wires and gave us bad info. Once an outside electrician fixed that the dryer started leaking after each load. It took technicians from Home Depot and LG to confirm the issue before a replacement dryer could be authorized. We are now waiting for the new dryer to arrive. If it comes on schedule it will be a month since we placed the initial order.

Beware

JulieInNC 8/8/2024

Do not order this from LG online web site. It may be great or horrible but we dont know because less than 24 hours after delivery it had an error message that the drain pump is not working. LG wont fix it because they think it may not have been installed incorrectly. LG wont facilitate getting the delivery company to come back out - they leave that up to the customer And the delivery company used by LG - called RXO is a nightmare to deal with The washer and dryer I waited two weeks to get are still not being used a week after arrival with no end in sight Horrible situation that I feel like LG should take charge of and fix. Instead they have taken no responsibility to try and help. What kind of company is this?

Defective condenser door/Poor customer sevice

energyefficiency 8/7/2024

Ordered directly from LG.com on 7/31/24. Took delivery 8/2/24. Noticed push button door to open and clean condenser on front bottom right corner of dryer did not work a few hours after taking delivery. It was stuck closed. Contacted LG warranty and told them about the problem and customer service representative immediately said it could have been damaged when dryer was transferred from distribution center to delivery company and if that was the case I would have to pay for repairs on a brand new just delivered dryer that was defective out of the box I was left with no choice but to initiated an exchange on an other wise perfectly good dryer over a defective condenser door that probably could have been quickly and easily fixed if a replacement part was available. Only good parts on my LG experience so far was the independent delivery company that delivered and setup my new LG dryer best delivery experience ever and the fact this LG heat pump dryer dries really well. Every other aspect has been horrible. Warranty/customer service experience has been less than good so far.

Great dryer except for the door...

Chuck in Codes 7/6/2024

The position of the wash room in our house left us with terrible outside ventilation for the dryer. For years I had been waiting on the right ventless dryer to catch up with the technology. This was it In researching the capacity and dry times we knew it would be longer but better than the clogged ventilation situation was giving us we felt the quality with LG was there. So we took a chance. A few months later we like it but not love it. What keeps us from withholding our love? The door pops open in the middle of the drying session ALL THE TIME. I will tell you that the drying times are way shorter than advertised for the usual ventless dryer we love that. Its usually half the time of whats posted on the dryer screen. But there hasnt been a dryer session yet where I didnt have to stop what I was doing to close the door and resume it. Im hoping that I can work with LG to get this fixed. If I can then I would rate it a double five-star

Heat pump dryer FTW

IanMc 7/5/2024

I bought this dryer in hopes of reducing my energy consumption and it did not disappoint. I cut in half my usage compared to my 15+ year old electric dryer. Im also enjoying the advanced drying modes and smart notification. Its also nice to not worry about lint clogging up an exhaust line and creating a fire hazard.

Really nice dryer and big

Goodadvice 6/18/2024

7.8 cu. ft. Dual Inverter Heat Pump ventless Electric Dryer with Direct Drive Motor 6 Motion and AI Sensor Dry in White is is a high tech Dryer. It has Wifi set up so you can operate remotely. This function I have not used yet but it could be used if you left before it stopped and then before you get home you can start it to wrinkle free your clothes before you get home to pull them out. Man if they can now only get it to unload and hang up the clothes. Joking beside I find this unit to be very good at this time. We have ran about seven loads through and it dries them very well. It is ventless which I have never had before. It recirculates the heat in dryer to dry clothes. It has not heated up our laundry room which surprised me. Also a surprise was that there is a small hose for letting the water out of the dryer while working. It just drains into the existing washer drain area. Same plug system as my old one so no major electrical work needed. This unit has many settings and you can chose the option feature to change setting to what you want as far as number of cycles and temp or you can just use the preset ones. Also make note that this unit has 3 filters. The main inside filter which you clean after every use it also has a small addition filter inside the main one that will need cleaning every time as well it is not hard. There is one called the outside filter screen which is really on the inside with the main one and it is in the same hole as the main one. Once you pull out the main one you can pull on a small tab and the outside one will come out. The outside one only needs to be cleaned approximately every ten uses. So far a really nice machine and is large enough for all our large loads. I would recommend. I kept trying to find something I did not like about it but cant seam to find anything.

Horrible experience

jasaa 6/16/2024

Some drying cycles do not dry clothes at all. Installers do not know how to install this kind of dryer. Front door is not reversible and I do not see a way to order a opposite oriented door. Leaked on floor alot because of an uncapped extra drain outlet not mentioned at all in the manual. Called several LG phone numbers some would transfer me to numbers that are not LG some would lose connection the online chat finally got someone to fix some of these problems days later.

Amazing dryer and its so energy efficient

Patrick44 4/27/2024

I bought this dryer sight unseen because I wanted a large capacity heat pump dryer. Waited over 2 months for it to arrive nobody stocked them at that point. I am amazed with this dryer It uses less than half the energy our 7 year old traditional dryer used. Sometimes its closer to 1/4 of the energy. Its quiet ventless and super easy to use. We use the AI setting for almost everything. My only hesitation is that it does take longer to dry. What could previously be dried in 60-75 minutes often takes 120 now. But even with the added time its still extremely more energy efficient. FYI Ive been using it for over 4 months as of writing this.
