LG WM3431HW

This is a dream for people with smaller living areas. The LG WM3431HW is everything you could need to do your laundry. I would say this is the absolute best purchase I have made. I just hook it up to the sink in the little and I mean little laundry room area I have.

It came with all the hoses and was easy to set up. It was a little bit on the pricey side but It easy to use, does a great job and is easy to move. Its a machine I plan on getting years worth or use out of. It has a never rust drum which is a very nice feature. Comes with a delay for wash that is up to 19 hours.

You can program it to wash and dry, or wash only or dry only. Its really quiet when its running and is energy star rated. A bit plus these days. I'm glad I spent the money for this one.

Awesome NEW
by: Anonymous

This machine is an awesome paperweight. Dryer wont dry even after replacing the water pump. I am sure there is lint trapped way down in the machine but a repairman keeps coming and saying there is nothing wrong. IT'S NOT DRYING CLOTHES..... OF COURSE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG!

Same Problem...Machine Won't Dry Anything
by: Anonymous

The machine worked great for two years and then when it was just out of warranty stopped drying. I have followed all of the recommended maintenance steps, but find it strange that I have never gotten anything out of that drain pump filter thing in the bottom left hand corner when I clean it out -- the one with the little tube that you have to drain first or end up with water spilling all over your floor. The manual says that the drain filter collects threads and small objects left in laundry, but I have never retrieved a thing from it and with two dogs I am certain that I have plenty of lint and small particles to collect. I have cleared all of the drains, leveled the machine and done everything under the sun to try to fix the machine myself, without any luck. I refuse to call a repairman, because we had the same situation with a much older machine by a different maker previously and had 2 different workmen come out to try to repair it (that we contacted through the warranty repair line). It still never worked right, which is why we bought this one and are now going through the same thing again. Great concept for small living spaces that are not vented for washer/dryer hookups...if it worked )=

Great wash but doesn't dry
by: Anonymous

Got my machine two years ago and it worked great. Then it stop drying. Called LG and they did comment that the machine will not dry your clothes 100%. They sent a service man to fix the problem and change the drying component and still the damn thing is not able to dry a sock. Waste of money

bit confusing, but works well
by: Anonymous

Pros:
-Energy and Water efficient
-Flexibility of Wash to Dry, Wash Only or Dry Only

Cons:
-Price is quite expensive
-Too many programs

We rent a few rooms in our house to some students, thus our washer and dryer are always busy. When our old dryer was out of function around three months ago, we decided to buy a washer dryer COMBO with its dual functions.

We saw this product as our investment. Our bills for electricity and water use are pretty high last year and we need to reduce it. This product is also green rated, thus it is good for our environment. Until now, we are satisfied with this washer combo, even when sometimes it is confusing to choose the right programs on it.

Saves space energy and time
by: Anonymous

Pros
- you can wash and dry your clothes at the same time
- You don't have to wait for the clothes to finish washing to put in the dryer
- It uses electricity and not gas.

Cons
- it takes a really long time for the clothes to wash and dry, unlike the regular washer and dryer where you can set timers.
- It takes a little bit of time to become accustomed to having only one machine for washing and drying.

I received my gorgeous, red LG Electronics , Model LG WM3431H washer/dryer combo as an anniversary present and absolutely adore it. I had shopped around for 6 months and could not find a better combo for at a better price. The one thing to remember is it takes a little bit of time to get used to.

That is, only having one machine to wash and dry your clothes, but once you can get past this, you are well on your way to saving time (not having to unload from washer to dryer) and energy, as this combo runs on electricity unlike the majority of washers and dryers that use gas. The other great thing about this machine is that it comes in a variety of fun, fashionable colors that can match or add to your current décor .

The only negative feature about the machine is it’s speed. It takes quite a bit longer than your standard washer and dryer, emphasizing the drying portion is what takes a lot of time.

I guess one could weigh the option: the extra time that it takes to dry your clothes could easily be equivalent to the time you would spend unloading the washer and adding the clothes into the dryer of a conventional set.

I would recommend this combo to everyone, especially anyone who is looking to make or save space, save energy and save time transferring clothes from washer to dryer, just keep in mind, the drying time will take longer.

Quick and easy to use
by: Karla

Pros
- Washes and dries in a single unit and in a single stretch
- Efficient washing and elegant look

Cons
- Vibration produced when the spinner works
- Expensive

We live in an apartment with no external vent or washer hookups. We were using the machine for nearly six months and are very much satisfied with it.

The elegant color combination which the machine holds is one of the best features. Also, it saves energy, detergent, and time spent on washing.

A combo washer dryer is a combination of washing machine and dryer and works on the basic principle of evaporation of water vapor produced during drying without the requirement of an external vent. The combo washer dryers are most commonly used by urban families with limited space.

It perfectly fits the allocated space left in the corner of our dining room and washes efficiently. I purchased the white version and it looks so elegant. There are multiple options that could be chosen so as to wash different types of clothes. The options are Extra Rinse, Soak, Extra Wash, Rinse and Spin Only, Spin Only.

The temperature of the water used for washing could be adjusted from cold to extra hot. It has the capacity to hold huge amount of clothes. Unfortunately, this feature itself is a disadvantage because of the difficulty in washing fewer amounts of clothes.

The dryer could either be set to wash only or dry only option or to dry and wash in complete cycle. The dryer is so efficient that 95% of the moisture is removed even when kept in normal setting.

The wash cycle is extremely quiet but not the spin cycle. The vibration produced during spin cycle might shake the building. Also, I found the machine a bit expensive when compared to other machines.

On the whole, it is a fantastic machine and a perfect one for women who can spend only little time on washing their clothes at home. Moreover, it requires only 110v of voltage for its functioning. All the above specified features make the machine unique in nature.

Great space saver
by: Kyle Ladyko

This washer dryer combo has been very useful for the time I have had it. In the past I used to have a washer and dryer as separate appliances and had gone through 2 sets of Maytag's.

The washer actually flooded my house with an inch of water! After the second set of machines started acting up I decided to go with an LG washer/dryer combo.

When I installed it, it made me realize how much more room there was in the laundry room! Now that the appliances were combined into one, the size of only one appliance, I now had room to do ironing and hang up 100% cottons that I didn't want shrinking.

Also this combo has not only saved me space but money as well! Ever since I got the appliance my water bill and electric bill has gone down a substantial amount saving me tons of money!!

The entire layout of the appliance is too not only appealing but very user friendly. With my Maytag appliances I would sometimes forget which loads to do what settings on and I felt like a complete fool, but with this machine Its very simple and self-explanatory so I don't have that problem at all anymore.

pros o
- appealing sleekness
- amount of limited space it takes up.

Cons
- sometimes if I don't keep the laundry room door closed it is very very noisy,
- I don't know if it is just my product or all of the but sometimes the door isn't always easy to get open.

Convenient and efficient
by: Swati Agrawal

I have recently bought a LG Washer/Dryer Combo which has numerous features and programs. It is quite convenient as you can start the load and leave it and it will automatically wash, dry and rinse the clothes. It requires no attention or intervention in between and you can start the load in the morning and then come back in the evening and collect your clothes. You can also delay the cycle by twelve hours if you are out of the house the whole day and this will ensure that the cleaned clothes are not left in the machine for too long. There is no need for transferring the load from the washer to the dryer.

Its flip side is that it takes a long time for completing the wash load so if you require washing clothes in multiple loads in a day then it might be problematic. However, it is convenient for my family as we only have clothes for one load in a day. It takes around six hours in a normal cycle for washing. One of its advantages is that its dryer option is very good and the clothes are completely dried. There is little need of drying them separately in the air or sun except for a couple of minutes.

Also this machine takes smaller loads than the previous washing machine we had (Whirlpool). This machine does not make much noise. However, the clothes tend to get very wrinkled and crushed in the machine but if you put lesser clothes then they do not crush that much. Make sure that you fix the machine so that it does not wobble all over the floor. But you need not worry about the machine opening suddenly as there is a child lock and the door is secured during the washing and drying cycle. The detergent dispenser can be easily cleaned. It is important to remember that the dryer takes only half of the wash clothes which often create inconvenience.

Overall, I would say this machine is convenient and does its job efficiently except for a few problems like longer cycles, lesser clothes in a load and more wrinkled clothes.

great machine
by: Anonymous

I really like mine, but cleaning out the lint where it accumulates inside the machine is a pain. After 6-12 months your clothes stop getting as dry, and to fix it you have to open it up and remove the lint. I wrote a guide with pictures to assist others here:

Clean out the lint every cycle!
by: TearDrop

I love this washer drier combo. It is fairly small and was not hard to install at all. When we needed a new washer we could not just replace the washer but the reasons are personal. So to save space I wanted to replace the drier with a combo. Maybe I should have sprung for one a bit bigger but I have no complaints otherwise.

I still can fit quite a bit in there since there is no big middle piece like in old upright washers. I was planning to just use the top of the drier as a counter top as I used to but it worked out to install it under a real counter for a great laundry work space.

It is very quiet when it is running and you do not have to worry about load balance. All the settings and extras are great. It is the best drier. It senses how wet the clothes are and heats them accordingly for the most efficient and fast drying. In the summer I set it to wash only sometimes for hanging out the clothes in summer. If you use a drier sheet it works best to use a softener used in the main wash. I got the titanium finish and it is easy to clean up with a simple wipe down. The sanitary cycle is great when you have things you really need to get clean, like if you had baby diapers to wash.

Similar to the drying sensors it also can sense how dirty the clothes are somehow and make adjustments for that. My clothes always come out clean and dry. Oh almost forgot there is not venting tube to worry about. Really they have a special drying system that means no vent. Do clean out the lint every cycle! It builds up fast.

Everything that you need to do your laundry
by: Anonymous

I got to say that my experience with the washer dryer combo LG WM3431HW has been great.The machine is a front loader and offers the best that a washer dryer combo can have.For those who want the convenience of a washer and dryer but have less space a combination of washer and dryer model is the best.

It runs on a standard 115 voltage electricity and not gas. So this makes for a much safer living environment.There is no need to wait to transfer clothes from the washer to dryer,as it allows the clothes to be washed and dried in "one go".

It is a good for those people who wants to do laundry at home but have no external venting source which conventional dryers require. It will condense the water vapours produced during drying,avoiding the needs for an external ventor.It has sleek body with NeveRust stainless steel drum which makes it durable and water resistance.It has 2.44 cubic ft.capacity and has nine wash programs,as it requires less space which is best for a business, home or even a small size apartment. It can even spit into a standard closet.

The machine is good looking with premium finishes in titanium and white. The door is chrome trimmed with clear glass.The machine offers the flexibility of wash to dry,wash only or dry only according to the needs. The SenseClean system measures moisture in the drum and automatically adjusts drying time and temperature for optimal care. The direct drive motor minimizes the noise and make the machine highly reliable and durable. It comes with delay for wash that is up to 19 hours.Its energy efficiency saves my electricity bill and the machine is energy star rated.

I would say that LG WM3431HW has everything that you need to do your laundry. Cleaning clothes was never simpler than with this machine. Though it costs $1,286 to 1,500,but I am very satisfied with this purchase.

A little noisy but otherwise I recommend it
by: Angel

Ok, when my husband and I first started shopping for a new washer and dryer, we just wanted the cheapest thing we could get to wash our clothes. In my mind I wanted to spend no more than $800. As I did some research though, I realized that 3 boys and a husband working in a steel plant made for a lot of dirty laundry.

I needed something heavy duty with large capacity. And with my old dryer I had to restart it three times just to get a load dry. Then my husband and I agreed that a little more money was okay if it saved me time and work. We found this beauty for about $1300. But it is all in one! It takes up half the space in my laundry room. I use it for extra storage now.

As far as performance goes it can be a little noisy. However clothes come clean and dry always the first time. If I'm running errands I don't have to run back home real quick to throw the clothes in the dryer. I would definitely recommend this to any busy mom!

Durable and quiet
by: Caitlin

First, there were washers and dryers individually. Dryers were great for drying clothes on rainy, snowy, cloudy or chilly days when you just couldn’t hang clothes on a clothes line, but they took up so much space. Later, we came up with the washer dryer tower. It was great because it was two machines in one, but a little too tall for many smaller houses and trailer homes.

Now, thanks to modern technology, we are able to combine washing and drying into one simple machine. We call this the washer dryer combo. In this article, I will be taking a look at the LG WM3431HW Combo Washer Dryer.

Cleaning clothes has never been simpler now that we can do it using one machine and the LG WM3431HW helps you get the job done. It has what they call a NeveRust steel drum which is water resistant and last longer than most combos on the market.

It also has a direct dry motor which is durable and quiet which comes in handy because I have a son who’s 9 months old. This machine allows me to get my cleaning done without disturbing my son during his nap. This machine can wash and dry without me ever having to move the clothes or push any more buttons and being as busy as I am, I love the ability to wash and dry and do other things and not have to schedule washing in.
Of all the Combo washers and dryers I’ve tried, I feel the LG WM3431HW is the best.

The titanium finish I picked goes great with my décor and the energy efficiency looks great on my electric bill. I love how the sensors in the drum automatically adjust the heating temperature by the moisture of the clothes. I’ve always liked LG products, and the LG WM3431HW is yet another great innovation by the LG brand.

Ventless condensing drying system is the best
by: andy

We purchased the LG WM3431HW Washer/Dryer Combo because of space issues, i.e. living in an apartment. In that respect it has done its job very well. Some other convenience factors that are nice additions are the “Child Lock Door Lock”, “Auto Balancing”, and “Remaining Time Display Indicator”, and my favorite, the “Lodecibel” quiet operation (this is really handy when you’re talking about the amounts of decibels in a small space).

By far the best attribute of the LG WM3431HW Washer/Dryer Combo, though, is the ventless condensing drying system. This means you don’t need one of those silver hoses that you have to attach to a hole in the wall to toss the hot air outside. Because the machine is a front loader it does require a different detergent, but fortunately enough, less of it. The total cycle time varies, mainly dependent on how much laundry you stick in it. Some cycles can last 4-5 hours, drying takes a while sometimes, but if you throw your dirty laundry in before you leave in the morning it’ll be done when you get home; you can even set a delay timer on it so that it will be nearing the end of its cycle so that you can fold your items as soon as they’re done.

The front display will tell you how long it’s going to take to complete the cycle for the amount of laundry. The sole “drawback”, if you could call it that, is that during the drying cycle its gets pretty vigorous and you’re going to need make certain that it’s on a stable surface; so I don’t recommend setting it on a piece of plywood!

All in all, if you don’t have a whole lot of room to work with then the LG WM3431HW Washer/Dryer Combo is a product that you will want to check out.

Cons outweigh the pros
by: Grace

My LG washer/dryer combo is all right in my opinion. Whenever I do laundry I must always remember that it’s going to be at least six hours before my clothes are completely washed and dried. Whereas with a separate washer and dryer it only takes two hours to completely dry and wash my clothes. I purchased my LG washer/dryer combo for a little over $1500 dollars.

I thought it was pretty steep for the quality of the machine. Just the fact alone that it takes so long to get the job done was a pretty big disappointment. I definitely would recommend the traditional separate washer and dryer and not a combo. However, the LG washer/dryer combo does have it’s conveniences as well. For example, with the traditional washer and dryer I sometimes forget to take my clothes out of the washer when it’s done and put it into the dryer.

Thus, my clothes are wet and soggy for a long time before I remember that I have to put the clothes in the dryer. Now with the LG washer/dryer combo I can put my clothes in one machine without having to remember to switch machines in order to dry my clothes. Another feature that makes this dryer great is the fact that it doesn’t need an external venting source like the traditional dryer.

After purchasing the LG washer/dryer combo I immediately noticed the difference of having more space to store my things in the laundry room. I now have a table where my traditional dryer was previously located at. Honestly, I would much rather have a traditional separate washer and dryer.

The LG washer/dryer combo has its good features but the cons outweigh the pros when it comes to this washer/dryer combo. If you’re a person that needs lots of space and it is a necessity then the LG washer/dryer combo is perfect for you.

Highly energy and water efficient
by: Lisa

We purchased the LG Model WM3431HW- White, about a month ago. I wanted to write a small review on this product. I hope that my review will encourage another family to purchase this product. Of course my favorite feature of this unit is the fact that it both washes and dries my clothes. The only thing this model is missing is the feature of folding my clothes and putting them away! When they come out with this, I will be ecstatic!

Anyway some of the features I would like to discuss are: The SenseClean system automatically adjusts water and wash time for optimal care. This means that it can sense the fact that my husband's jeans need extra wash time, or that my lingerie needs less wash time. Perfect feature! The Sensor dry system measures moisture in the drum and automatically adjusts drying time and temperature for optimal care. This means that when I am washing those heavy towels, blankets and comforters, it senses if they need extra drying time. How cool is that?

The next feature is flexibility of wash to dry, wash only or dry only. This is really good because sometimes I want to use this machine to simply wash my fine clothes and hang them to dry. The combo unit does not have to do both. That is important, because I have actually heard people say they don't want it for the fear of not being able to use it how they wish. Also there are times I just want to throw a pillow in the dryer to fluff it up. Never fear.. it can do that too! This machine has 9 different wash programs and five different rinse temperatures. Another cool feature is the "sanitary cycle". This is for those heavily soiled items such as dish rags, socks, etc...

Another very important aspect of this unit is that it is environmentally friendly! It has LoDecibel Quiet Operation and is highly energy and water efficient.

I am in love with my washer dryer combo
by: Anonymous

I purchased the LG WM3431HW Washer/Dryer Combo in white and was very pleased with this. i am using it in my apartment and it saved me a lot of space.

It also is very quiet and has been working perfectly for the past six months. I would highly recommend this dryer to anyone who does not have a lot of space in their house and hates carrying their clothes across to the other and dropping them all over the floor.

This dryer was an excellent buy for the price. It is very easy to work and even my kids are now doing their own laudary because they know how to use it. this dryer and washer always make my clothes as clean as possible and they are very fast. My cloths are always clean and always come out of the dryer wrinkle free.

I don't know what i would do with any other dryer and washer combo because of the electric bill savings. It helped reduce my electric bill compared to the older washer and dryer that i had. The washing machine always uses less water and has different modes depending on if i am washing a delicate blanket or just a pair of jeans.

I am completely in love with my new washer and dryer combo and would not want to part with anything else besides this washer dryer combo It was such a good deal there is nothing else i would ever want to put my cloths in.

Overall i would give this washer and dryer combo a perfect five stars or a one hundred. This dryer and washer will give you everything you could ever ask for out of a machine like this. Thanks to the makers of LG. Their computers to now washer and dryers are all very nice machines.

Drying takes a long time
by: Natalie

I recently thought about saving room in my laundry room so I bought the LG Washer Dryer Combo. Not only does it save room but also saves space in my house. The model number was WM3431HW. Now while I won’t say they are inexpensive by any means and also are more difficult in a way, it was still a great buy. It was less than $1000 and you got the washer and dryer.

One of the only real problems is that if you want to start on more than one load you can’t. You can’t dry anything while washing something since there is only one unit. It is an amazing appliance though. It’s not too big, has 9 wash programs and a sensor dry system so that you don’t over-dry any of your clothing (or shrink them). It can go almost anywhere and the price is pretty competitive if you were going to be purchasing a washer and dryer anyways. It has 4 temperature combinations, only one wash speed and is perfect for a house or an apartment.

LG does make a larger one for about $500 more if you needed something bigger. This is good for people who don’t have a venting source that a normal dryer requires. It runs on standard voltage and could even fit in a closet. The stainless steel never rusts and it’s highly reliable. I haven’t had any issues with it and I’ve had it for over 6 months. It has a very small capacity while drying and it needs to drain into a floor drain or though a hose.

If you are short on space (which I am) then this is ideal, otherwise get something larger. Drying does take a long time and it vibrates a bit when drying. It’s small so that is why it takes so long. You have to dry a full load in two separate loads. One plus is the environmentally friendly water-level settings.

Effective and convenient
by: Anonymous

LG-WM3431 model has all the facilities in one single machine. It is of 24" and 2.44 Cu Ft. tub size. The size is compact and excellent for use at homes,laundries, hotels or other places.The machine is far better than the conventional drying machines when it comes to the dryer.

It runs on electricity of about 115V and does not run on gas.It is energy efficient than other machines available. I have been using this machine for the last one and half year and it has given no problems at all. Earlier I used a machine which has both the facilities to wash and dry clothes but there was an additional task of transferring the clothes from the washer chamber to the dryer. But in this machine you don't have to take any such pain at all. In terms of quality it has provided me good performance.

However i found that it take little longer than other conventional dryers, but it dries your clothes completely.

The advantage of this machine is that no outside venting is required as it is ventless condensing. Ventless condensing dries within the drum and extract all the water from the clothes and then drain it out from the drum to the outlet pipe.

What i like more about this product is that it has lots of features that is incredible to have in one single machine. For examples it has 7 washing programs, 5 wash/dry programs, 5 wash/rinse programs. You can even control temperature levels and roller jets.

It has forced wash water circulation also that effectively cleans your clothes. For your convenience it also the facility of delay washing.
It washes your clothes like just in laundry, you need not have to pay extra bills of laundry now. Smart and easy wash at home only within low cost and without any extra effort.

The disadvantage of this product is that it takes longer time but you can count it as an benefit only because it washes and dries your clothes far more efficiently like laundry and saves your lot of money.

This machine has saved my sanity
by: Mom V

This washer/dryer combo has saved my sanity. It's so easy that my teenagers can manage it on their own without whining a bit. They also like the pretty lights and sounds when you select the cycles. You can throw a load of clothes in and go to school/work or to bed and come back to washed dried finished clothes. It keeps them tumbling and slightly warm until you get home to avoid set in wrinkles.

The clothes can get a bit wrinkly if you overstuff it but you get used to how much to put in with each fabric type to avoid wrinkles. It's an apartment sized washer/dryer that you can hook up to the sink or hook up permanently so it should fit a variety of needs.

Ours manages all four of our laundry and we have tons of it with 2 adults and 2 teenagers in the house plus frequent guests. We do have a stand alone dryer leftover from the last set we had that gets some use on a heavy laundry day, but if we planned a little better we really wouldn't need it.

The washer has everything from delicate cycle to sanitize cycle (for the dog blanket) and many in between. Then after you select the cycle you can take the defaults or you can set the soil level, the spin speed, presoak, and many other the features you would expect to see only on a full sized washer.

The dryer part does not require a vent because it does not dry by blowing hot air, it dries by sucking the moisture out of the clothes and sending it out the hose.I don't mind leaving it on when I am out of the house because there is no lint collecting that can cause a fire. When we got it I wondered if the lint going down the sink was going to clog it up but we have had no issues and have been using it for over a year now.

It can save wear and tear on your water heater too because some settings let you have the washer heat the water.It's front load with no agitator so your clothes do not get worn out by washing them frequently. I love this machine and recommend it.

Great if you live in an apartment
by: Anonymous

I have been using this washer and dryer combo for almost six months now, and I find it quite easy to use with okay results.

Lets get to the washer first, generous size for a mid range household, love the front load and consists of 9 wash programs, the best part is that its pretty flexible to switch in between tasks, like wash and dry or only wash and only dry.

It’s great if you live in an apartment and have no vents or place to naturally let the clothes dry. It can fit easily into a small laundry or even in a closet area. Its energy conserving at it runs on standard voltage.

The front glass trimmed door is also easy enough to clean and give a quick wipe, whereas for the rest of the cleaning system, there is one built in, although I don’t know how technically the system works but does the job for me.

The dry detects the moisture automatically and adjusts the drying temperature itself. It also up to 19 hour washes delay, so you can easily go for a quick supermarket trip.

All the gadgets, buttons are located on the top.
The bottom is resistant to staining and the cord is also a generous 24 inches in size.

The downside to have combos like this is that you have to wait for one load to finish before you can start the other way but if you are the kind, who likes to step out and not be worried of who is taking care of the washing then this one is for you.

Some cons, the dryer is not the fastest one and gets really hot, so be careful. Also do not overload it, doesn’t work well with drying. Another problem I face every now and then is the lint that accumulates inside, I have to physically remove it or it clogs up the drain.

Efficient and enviromentally friendly
by: Anonymous

My boyfriend and I were looking for a washer and dryer set for when we moved into our first apartment about 5 months ago. I had always loved LG’s brand of washers and dryers, so we started to look into those.

I loved all of them, but because the area we were allotted for the washer and dryer hookups was similar to the space of a closet, we were limited to size. However, I figured I’d look online and search around for what I could find and happened across their website. I started to look at washer/dryer combos and found out that they made one that was a 2-in-1 washer and dryer machine, this model (WM3431HS). I had to have it because it was just the perfect fit. We ordered it special from Sears, and while it did cost us a bit more, it is TOTALLY worth it.

The unit is the size of an average front-loading dryer and has allowed me to put shelves above the unit for storage. I have so many options for washing and I can also tell it to only wash OR dry; and of course it can do both!!! I really like that it doesn’t make much noise at all (my old dryer was a monster of a machine) and because I’m a green environmental nutcase, I had to make sure it was an energy saver, which it is!!!

This machine gives you the luxury of doing less work while helping the environment at the same time. You can’t lose with this washer/dryer.
