Overview
A center control panel set between the washer below and the dryer above runs both machines from one reachable height. LG builds the pair as a single tower, so the laundry setup shares one floor footprint and leaves room beside it for a sink or folding table.
Folding two full machines into one tower frees floor space in a laundry closet without forcing you to bend down to the lower controls. The stack is tall and heavy, so it needs a level floor, an electric dryer circuit and help moving it into place.
Who it's for
Small laundry rooms and closets gain the most, since the tower frees the floor beside it for a sink or counter. Households that want to replace only the washer or only the dryer later should look at separate machines.
Pros and cons
- Both machines share one floor footprint
- Center controls reachable without bending
- Stainless steel washer drum
- Energy Star certified
- Very heavy to move or install
- Needs a dedicated high voltage circuit
- Washer and dryer cannot be replaced separately
- Open door needs deep clearance in front
Performance notes
Wash results depend on the direct drive motor and the fast final spin, which wrings more water out before the load moves up to the dryer. Less moisture left in the clothes shortens drying time in the upper machine. Automatic operation sets cycle details, so load balance and detergent dose in the tray dispenser shape the outcome.
