Stacked Washer-Dryer Combo
LG WashTower
✓ Buy
Among the best in its category
This single-tower unit delivers serious capacity in a narrow footprint, running quietly enough for installation near bedrooms while LG's direct-drive washer motor earns long-term trust. The detergent drawer drains liquid soap through a pinhole before the cycle starts, forcing you to pour detergent straight into the drum, and the dryer sometimes leaves clothes damp on default settings until you dial in your preferred cycle. If you need full-size performance in half the floor space and can tolerate a couple of design oddities, owners who've lived with it report genuine satisfaction, though warranty service can drag if you draw a lemon.
The context that matters
What you're actually buying — and what the data leans toward.
Insufficient product-specific data to determine generation focus.
−
Common complaints6 issues−Detergent dispenser drawer drains liquid detergent immediately through pinhole, forcing drum-loading workaround

−Temperature selection shows ranges (cold/warm/hot) rather than exact degrees in US models
−Dryer sometimes leaves clothes damp on default settings, requiring manual adjustment
−No soak cycle on higher-end models, replaced with pre-wash that drains before main wash
−LG warranty service can be slow to coordinate parts and technician visits
