Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

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.

Not Reliable

Martin65 10/11/2024

I purchased the washer and dryer in this model along with the matching pedestals 14 months ago. After two months the washer quit working and was repaired under warranty. A week later the dryer would not get hot. As of writing this review I am on my fourth repair call for this dryer. It seems a sensor keeps going bad. Since it is now out of warranty LG would like me to pay $350+ in advance for the repairs. After several phone calls to LG they said they would pay for the repair. We will call you in 24 to 48 hours to set up a time A week later.....nothing.

Great Modern Tech Dryer

MH1234 4/27/2024

Very happy with our purchase. Love the modern technology especially the AI. No more tossing a wet cloth in to remove wrinkles because this appliance has steam fresh mode. Just downloaded the app too for even more modern appliance features.

Good dryer with potential flaws in buttons

Bradford123 3/13/2024

Bought over a month ago and it dries well. The steam and wrinkle release are great. The buttons are touch screen so they feel like they might break easily.

Nice Dryer Poor Installers

RalphT23 1/26/2024

Dryer works nicely for its first two weeks of service. Only three stars for this review because the delivery/installation company ...Last Mile personnel did not speak English nor could they install and test the natural gas dryer.

I bought the washer and dryer September 2023 and decided to replace electric dryer for the gas. Costco did so without a problem and no additional charges.

Very easy to use. The steam dry is a nice feature.

TomH15 10/30/2023

So far so good. I have a household full of LG appliances. My old washer and dryer lasted 21 years and it was time for a replacement. The new units are very nice.
