It's a front-loader! It's a top-loader! It's...both, actually. This new LG puts a small top-loader in the pedestal drawer under one of their front-loading behemoths.
I question how many of these LG will sell..but you can be sure it will eventually become a coveted collector's item. I'll never know...all the high-end LG's are too wide to fit through the doorways of my house. Upside: You'll do a lot of toe-touching bends to stretch out those lower back muscles! |

So let's see... a TOL - LG FL washer sells for what, $1600-ish? Add this silly little floor level mini washer (for nuisance loads - ala Filter Flo mini-basket?) for another what, another $1200... and we're looking at nearly $3K for the pair? Geesh!
With the new machines getting SO LARGE, I'll bet they dont do small loads very well and that's why they created this machine.
Either that or they figured they can build a dishwasher in a drawer, why not a washing machine.

Just what we need. Further encouragement of horrible laundry habits. I grew up with a mother who basically threw everything in together when she washed. I had a few things ruined because of that. Part of the reason I'm such a picky sorter and have such a huge amount of everything. Advertising for that top loader not only can you wash the comforter that's on the bed, but the rest of the bedding for the bed at the same time. |

You have a very valid point. I read that you should have twice the dryer capacity for a wash load to properly tumble. If you have a 5.8 cu.ft. washer, you would need a dryer that is almost 12 cu ft. to handle that load properly.
I know with my Maytag it holds 4.4 cu ft. When I do as full load of towels the 8.0 cu. ft companion dryer is almost full when the load is dry. Now mind you the washer is control packed, whereas the dryer is tumble fluffed, but it illustrates how the clothes need to move freely. |

Seems as though the LG dispenser is behind the control panel - similar to the Aqualtis washing machine:

All the years I've been interested in LG products has paid off. Their performance,their features, their designs, their innovations , their prices and their quality has increased my interests in them. What they're doing now is very similar to the original Frigidaire research going on from the late forties through the mid seventies. Priming in the mid to late sixties. What went wrong?
Corporate got greedy. Seeing what Toyata,Honda, Mazda and Mercedes were doing in production of more fuel effkcient cars made the American brands put their tails between their legs, squint and run. GM slammed the car door on Frigidaire selling no mote than a .name brand to WCI. Ford did the same to Philco and AMC did the same yo Kelvinator. Now GE has followed. Wake up America. Its all our fault for being so greedy. I'm just glad to see there are still some nice brand new products emerging from this. I don't give a rat's ass if it's made in a foreign country. We had our chance and let corporate ass wipes decide to go global and put factories where spyes could easily get information . I have no mercy for the corporate leaders who lost jobs over their selfish stupidy. I am not at all impressed with ANY of the new Whirlpool Corp., GE, or Electrolux prodicts but am pleased more then anyone can comprehend there's a great company making and backing their products. I know there are ma.y here at this site who disagree. We all have our differences and opinions but, I sold LG and Maytag,GE,Hotpoint, JennAir and Equator. I'd be the customer service provider. So, I'd hear all of the drama and complaints from customers, salesfolk,and service techs. Few were regardkng LG products I sold. Of all the ones I sold,changing the customers choices, one,a. OTR Microwave was returned. Why?? Wrong color! This post was last edited 01/06/2015 at 02:00 |

Here is the video of the intro. You can add the Twin to any LG washer.
You can indeed wash a king sized comforter and all the bedding in the new top-load washer. I thought Bob was joking. Nope, it's real. There is also a mention of creating custom cycles that can be downloaded to the washer through their App "ThinQ" (think). That's cool. I'll bet you can't control individual components of the washer though, I'd have that recirc. spray run on every cycle, every phase. In time, we'll see the specs for the wee washer add on, how it's plumbed and electric requirements. It certainly won't be for everyone, but LG has a marketing research department, so they can't be completely out of line with the new offerings. I'd still love one of the giant dryers - the bigger the better in a dryer. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

I mean, I was never that envious of your washer capacitys, but I REALLY wished such huge dryers were sold in Germany... 4 or 5 ft³ are just to small! |

When I first saw it. I thought the lower drawer was a spin x type unit for heavy jeans and towels. |

I don't have any experience with them but aren't these the machines that explode and have a poor track record in the maintenance and life expectancy areas? If so what would prevent this unit from having the same fate as the prior LG washers? Just instead of one to fail now you have two. |

The glass top is so that you can slide it out and go "Check this out". Simple really. |

A friend of mine moved to Paris 16 years ago and told me about his stove/oven/dishwasher combo that required water, electrical, drain AND a gas connection (due to the gas cooktop) all to the one appliance!!! He said it was a challenge (and a little scary) to get all connected and make sure it was leak free.

The dispenser on the WM9500H is a top loading affair and the dryer that goes along with the 5.8 cu.ft. washer is 9 cu.ft.

It can start out as a diaper pail. Drop the soiled diapers in, push the cycle button labeled #2, and come back to clean diapers.
Then, as the baby grows out of diapers, it can be used as a potty trainer. The heater can be used to warm the seat so it is more comfortable to potty train in the winter. Afterwards, it can be moved to the kitchen and used as a salad spinner... Malcolm |

Great, Malcolm! Although...I might opt for 'potter's wheel' rather than salad spinner once the tyke is out of diapers, LOL.
While I don't see the mini washer being useful for me, I'm impressed with the front-loader sitting above it. Like the top-loading dispenser system and the controls on the door. The people I've steered to LG front-loaders the past couple of years really like them; and so far, no problems. As mentioned earlier, these big LG models are too large to fit through the doorway to my laundry room. Were I in the market for a new front-loading pair, I'd probably opt for a higher-end Maytag. 4.5 cu. ft tub, great cycle and option flexibility, and it fits through all the doorways.

Am I the only one thinking that it has a one piece tub? I mean, like the Frigidaire TLs. At least, it rather looks like this. |

The issues with "exploding washers"was limited. Not every model was faulty. I bought one set for my cousin,Kathy in Maryland back in 2011. She loves it so much that she bought another.pair for her summer home. I don't know where the misinformation originated but LGs track record in repairs is far better then Whirlpool,Kenmore, Speed Queen and GE. Easy to operate and quiet. Samsung not as dependable and service on Samsung is bad here. Not.one service company wants them as a regular. Reminds me of the hell I went through with Equator.
