I have this combo unit the LG 3677. I paid less for mine $1550 plus tax and 5 year protection plan. It does dry faster and better than those smaller units. I used to have a Equator 3600 and that had very poor drying performance. In the LG I can wash 22 pounds and dry about 11 - 13 pounds. It's still a longer drying cycle but much better than a compact. Downside to this machine is washing times are long as the machine takes awhile to balance before spinning load. It is well built and has a spray system that operatates while clothes are being washed and rinsed. Being you are looking for a new washer did you consider the LG? Peter |

Hi Frontload Fan - to try and answer a few questions I have the full size 3.7 cubic foot drum. A lot of times I fill it up and empty some clothes out at the start of the drying cycle. I do hang dry a lot of laundry anyway. So a combo works good for me. I mostly dry linens like sheets and towels. Most clothes I wear I hang to dry anyway. I do have a heater but it only works in the sanatary cycle and drying of course. The wash time is long if I run a regular cycle with a extra rinse it takes about 70 minutes to wash rinse spin. Drying time varies one set of sheets drys in about 35 minutes. I can wash about 3 sets at a time (queen size that is). I never tried to leave all 3 sets in to dry at one time. Towels take the longest 8 bath towels can take up to 1 1/2 hours. Give or take some time. This combo is almost exactly like the LG washers in store except it has a dryer feature. It is a good machine to consider. Peter |

Hi Kenmore My LG Combo is 110 volt. It would be nice if they made 220 volt like they used to years ago. Only 1 combo the Edgestar comes in 220 volt. I can only have 110 volt in my coop in NY anyway. But options would be nice. The unit has a condensor so it is the same hookup as a regular washer. It does dry somewhat quicker than a small combo because the drum is bigger. Peter |
