LG WM3455HS

TOP10 Combos

Discontinued (used to be RANK #3):

This LG model can boast of a very nice luxury feeling thanks to its metalish silver color and modern controls. If you already have something in a similar color in your home, it would be a very nice fit. Unfortunately, nowadays it’s really hard to get this model in silver color in the shops. I don’t really understand the reason but the fact is that these days, you can mostly find only the WM3455HW, which is ranked #1 on my site anyway.

Pros and Cons:
Positives:
  • Well-designed unit with a stylish and luxury look.
  • Great performance, features and energy efficiency – saves money on your electric bill.
  • Easy to install, easy to use.
  • It’s very quiet. Should be mounted on a solid flat floor or vibration isolation pads to solve any vibration issues.
  • Excellent capacity for the overall size of the machine. Just to compare, it washes the same amount of clothes as the typical smaller commercial machine you find at a New York City laundromat.
  • If half loaded, it takes just 1 hour for clothes to wash and dry and just 1.5 hour for jackets and heavy wool items.
  • 120V power (no separate 220V circuit needed)
  • The clothes that come out feel great. They are soft without using fabric softener and clean with a minimum of soap.
  • It’s ventless and uses condensation to make the vapour release its moisture and be pumped out along with cold water used for this purpose.
  • Uses very little water (70% less water).
  • You can interrupt the program at any time, change any setting or open the door, and then resume.
Negatives:
  • No negatives other than the common ones below.
Negatives common to all combos:
  • There is no exterior lint trap for the dryer. The lint tends to collect around the rubber seal and you have to empty that once a month depending on the frequency of use.
  • The clothes need to be free to tumble in order to dry completely. Fill only half of the drum if you’re going to use the dry function.
  • Noisy water pump that expels the water from the machine – although active only intermittently during the wash and rinse cycle.
  • Produces a bit of heat.

Reviews and Prices:
Here you can find and compare user comments and prices from different online stores. Just a small advice – if you find a lot of positive reviews and some negative ones, it usually means that the complaining people don’t use the machine properly, or received some defective piece.

Conclusion: This model is a little bit smaller than for example the LG WM3987HW, but provides the same performance and efficiency.
