Washer-Dryer Combo Design Leaps Forward in LG’s Newest High-Tech Space-Saver

After the kitchen, the laundry area is one of the home’s hardest working spaces, making a good washer and dryer worth its weight. Side-by-side options have long been popular but can waste valuable floor space, especially in a small laundry room or closet. 

One space-saving solution, The LG WashTower™ offers powerful cleaning performance while only taking up half the floor space as traditional sets. It’s also equipped with built-in intelligent sensors. Simply add a load of laundry, and it will detect the fabric type and load size, automatically selecting the appropriate wash and dry cycles. 

A Full Size Washer and Dryer with a Convenient, Space-Saving Design

Many stacked washer and dryer combos free up valuable floor space but still cannot quite tackle large loads, making laundry day a drawn-out event. The LG WashTower improves upon the design with its ultra-large capacity 4.5-cubic-foot washer and 7.4-cubic-foot dryer. 

At 27 inches wide, 74 ⅜ inches high, and 30 ⅜ inches deep, this single vertical unit fits spaces where usually only a washer would stand. Now, you can fit laundry just about anywhere, from a mudroom to the bedroom closet—not just the basement. Alternatively, the stacked design leaves more room for upgrades in your dedicated laundry room, like installing a cabinet and counter, a utility sink, or a laundry hamper system. Wherever you place it, the LG WashTower is ready to be on display: It’s available in two colors (white or graphite steel) and features scratch-resistant tempered glass doors accented with a rose gold–colored trim. Rather than being an eyesore, it suits many decor styles. 

A bonus to the stacked design: The WashTower also features an easy-to-access, sleek LED display control center in the middle of the tower, so there’s no reaching or straining to start a load of laundry.

Advanced Cleaning Performance (And a Cycle that Removes Allergens)

When choosing a washing machine, cleanliness should always be a top priority. After all, what’s the point of selecting a sleek or space-saving option if the washer and dryer fail to deliver fresh, clean clothes? Fortunately, LG offers many advanced cleaning options. One of our favorites, the Allergeine cycle, utilizes steam to remove over 95 percent of common household allergens, including pet dander, dust, and pollen—ideal for seasonal allergy sufferers. For fast cleaning, the LG is equipped with TurboWash® 360, which harnesses five powerful jets to clean large loads of laundry in less than 30 minutes. Yet another standout, TurboSteam® technology can refresh household items like pillows or toys without running a full wash and dry cycle.

Built-In Intelligence Takes the Guesswork Out of Laundry

Whether you like to manually select your wash and dry cycle or appreciate AI technology that can choose for you, the LG WashTower has you covered. When you add laundry to the washer, the built-in sensors detect the fabric type and load size, selecting the appropriate wash cycle for your garments. Through Smart Pairing™, the dryer can then set the best drying cycle based on the washer’s settings, keeping your fabric in optimal shape. You’ll no longer have to worry about the mildewy smells that come with underdrying or the damage from overdrying fibers.

While smart technology takes the guesswork out of everyday laundry, there may still be times when you’d like to choose a specific cycle. And luckily, that’s always an option! You can select one of six washer programs from the control center, including bedding, delicates, downloaded, heavy duty, normal, or speed wash. There are also six dryer settings, including bedding, delicates, downloaded, heavy duty, normal, or small load, as well as five manual dry times ranging from 20 to 60 minutes. 

Maintenance Reminders Ensure a Long-Lasting Washer and Dryer

When connected with LG’s ThinQ app, the WashTower can start and stop via remote control or voice command (compatible with Google or Amazon assistants). You can even send specialized cycles to your washer or dryer, if you wish, and monitor your laundry progress on your phone. Better yet, the app’s ThinQ Care feature will alert you when maintenance tasks arise, like when your dryer ducts need to be cleaned. It will also send you early diagnosis alerts should an issue arise, ensuring a long-lasting and well-performing unit. Now that’s smart!
