Im Without a doubt our LG 4.2 cu.ft. compact electric condensing front load dryer has been an ideal addition to our small apartment for the past five years. Its compact size and powerful drying capabilities have made laundry a breeze despite encountering some power-related issues along the way. The compact design of this LG dryer is perfectly tailored for smaller spaces like our apartment. It efficiently utilizes the available area without compromising on performance allowing us to maximize our laundry rooms functionality. During its five-year lifespan this dryer consistently delivered excellent results drying our clothes efficiently and leaving them fresh and wrinkle-free. However we did face a specific issue with the power system. The dryer would sometimes refuse to turn on unless we unplugged it for a few minutes before starting a load. While this occasional inconvenience did require some troubleshooting it didnt overshadow the overall positive experience we had with the dryer. Despite the intermittent power issue this LG dryer showcased its strength in drying performance. It effectively handled various fabrics and loads ensuring that our clothes were thoroughly dried in a timely manner. We appreciated the convenience of the condensing feature as it eliminated the need for venting and simplified installation in our apartment. In terms of energy efficiency this dryer exceeded our expectations. It consistently provided energy-saving performance resulting in noticeable reductions in our utility bills. We found this feature particularly appealing as it aligned with our environmentally conscious lifestyle. The sleek and modern design of the LG 4.2 cu.ft. compact electric condensing front load dryer seamlessly blended with our laundry room decor enhancing the overall aesthetics. The controls were intuitive and user-friendly making laundry a hassle-free task. Despite the power issue we encountered our experience with this LG dryer has been overwhelmingly positive. Its compact size powerful drying capabilities and energy efficiency make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a space-saving and effective laundry solution especially for small apartments like ours.

Definitely buy the service agreement. Dont know the statistics but these dryers are made of plastic. So glad I was covered when 4 years into the 5 year contract the motor burned out. Happily they came took the entire dryer apart and replaced the bad parts. Wonder if I can extend the service warranty....

I bought this unit almost 2 years ago for my Florida condo. It does not got a lot of use as I am only there 16 to 20 weeks a year. Shortly after the 1 year warranty ran out it started turning itself off every couple of min. It typically requires 5 to 7 restarts before it finally runs till cycle finishes.

Works great
