We had the LG version of this for five years before the bearings went out, probably because we were running it continuously and overfilling, but we also had to replace its drain pump three times during that period.
This machine is worlds better. It takes maybe slightly longer to finish a wash-dry load but it’s worth it for all the ways in which it beats the LG design. It’s a smaller outer “shell” but the interior holds just as much. It can handle 13 lbs of laundry on the wash-dry cycle, or 26 pounds of just wash laundry, which I sometimes do and then hang part of it dry. I bought a $16 electric scale to keep nearby which I weigh my laundry on to ensure I don’t burn this machine out. 13 pounds is a solid load of laundry!
Clothes come out dryer and softer than with the LG. There’s a cool touch panel which I didn’t initially realize and that’s where you adjust the heat settings of the dryer and the delay option, which I use when I feel like loading the machine during the day in summertime. I set it for evening or night to cut down on energy usage (appliances heat the house up if you run them during the day).
Yes it takes a long time to complete its wash-dry cycle, but just throw in a load before bed and wake up to clean clothes. Magic! My husband has ADHD and this machine is a great hack for him forgetting to switch the wet clothes over to the dryer. I also appreciate that we don’t have to walk down to the basement, because this is ventless and runs on a regular outlet so we just stuck it in the hallway closet by all our bedrooms. We also have a big floofy dog and this does much better than the LG at getting his hair off of our clothes.
For me this has been a Jetson robot, “I live in the future” experience and I can’t say enough good things about Comfees engineering! And the price was even hundreds lower than the LG.
