A strong option for an apartment or condo laundry nook with no vent and no dryer outlet, since it plugs in and dries without venting. A full wash and dry runs for hours, and only one load moves through at a time.

Overview
Loading once and walking away is the idea: the drum washes and then dries the same load, so nothing moves to a second machine. A ventless drying system and a standard household plug let it go into closets and condos without a dryer duct or new wiring.
Skipping the dryer vent and the dedicated circuit is what makes it work in tight spaces, and LG says the drum takes a king-size comforter. Throughput is the limit: one load occupies the drum from wash through dry, so back-to-back loads queue up.
Who it's for
Renters and condo owners with a closet-sized laundry spot get both jobs from one plug-in unit. Families that run laundry all day lose the ability to overlap loads, so separate machines serve them better.
Pros and cons
- Washes and dries without moving clothes
- Plugs into a standard household outlet
- Ventless, no exterior duct needed
- Large drum takes a king-size comforter
- One load at a time through both stages
- Heavy, hard to move into place
- Open door needs deep front clearance
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Ventless drying removes moisture inside the cabinet instead of pushing air out through a duct, which is what frees up placement. LG notes cycle time varies with load type and weight. The dispenser handles detergent on the wash side, and app-downloaded programs add options.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add new wash programs to the LG WM6998HBA?
Yes. The LG ThinQ app downloads additional wash programs, and it also monitors cycles and sends notifications.
Is the LG WM6998HBA two separate machines?
No. It is a single all-in-one unit that washes and dries without a load transfer, so it cannot wash one load while drying another.
How much front clearance does the LG washer dryer combo need?
Depth with the door open reaches 57.75 inches, so leave room for that in front of the unit.
What detergent dispenser does the LG WM6998HBA have?
The specs list a 4-tray dispenser.
What is the drum of the LG all-in-one made of?
Stainless steel.
