Looks Good As I have said before A one piece stack makes much more sense than stacking two separate machines.
It certainly is a little polished then a Speed Queen stack, it would be fun to put an LG and a SQ stack SXS in one of the many installations we have where we have 2 or more SQ socks and see how they compare and hold up.
I am going to keep an eye on these and may use them in at least some light use residential installations.
Hi Jaums, I though you were trying to get the new GE FL pair, this is almost certainly a better choice, I have not seen a single GE laundry appliance that impressed me since around 1994.

I wonder how effective the normal cycle on the entire washtower is. | ||

tumblers I LOVE the stainless tumblers. Very Neptune-ish in design, but closer spaced, and made of stainless similar to that of some Mieles. | ||

I have to say LG is knocking it out of the park with their new laundry line. From the premium looks with their new tempered glass doors and stainless tub lifters to their quiet operation, huge cycle selection and remote capabilities with the app. Their new line isn't just pretty, they actually clean and rinse wonderfully. | ||

Keep Us Updated! Please let us know how things are going periodically. I will be in the market for a new machine likely in the near future. I am curious to see that they now require TurboWash on as a default for Normal and Heavy Duty cycles. Not sure I like that. | ||

Combo52 John , Why does it make more sense to have a laundry tower than stackables?. It seems to me that it’s cheaper for consumers to have stackable’s as you only need to buy a stacking kit. | ||

What a nice looking set...
Do you have the option to keep the lights on while it's running? On my washer and dryer, the lights go out as soon as the cycle starts. When you open the door they come on. So, I get why that happens. Most people wouldn't care to see what's going on while its running but for those of us who would like to have the lights on for the "main event" I'd love a machine with a switch for turning the lights on and off as you might want. Does one exist? | ||

Ralph, LG washer that have a light switch on the panel, can turn the light on while the machine is running. The light turns off 4-5 minutes after bein on according to user manuals.
On my Duet, the light will stay on indefinitely if I turn it on during the cycle. When I open the door after a cycle, the light will automatically turn off after about 5 minutes, if I don't turn it off myself. | ||

I prefer to have the turbowash on so everything gets saturated quickly. I'd like to have laundry detergent, bleach and fabric softener evenly distributed. I also like to have my clothes efficiently rinsed. I wish there were youtube videos of the lg washtower in action. | ||

In my opinion, turbowash should be used at all times. | ||

Self Test? Anyone know how to activate test mode? What I have seen for LG says to hold down 2 buttons while turning on using the power button, but this has no buttons. Everything is touch, only the 2 power buttons are visible until it's turned on. No problems, would just like to see each function. | ||

Nice set!! I would have bought this one if my Neptune didn’t die! I was stacking anyways so this would have been the perfect pick. Though, I really like my 4370 set. Very fast and efficient! | ||

Similar So, your 4370 set is probably very similar. Seems to me LG has a LOT of models that are pretty much the same. | ||

No button for the light.
What Bob says about the tub lights is correct--holding one of the buttons on the panel for 3 seconds turn the light on for 4 minutes.
Is the button labeled light or is this some secret code you need to know? Does anyone know if there is a secret sequence of events on a Miele W1 washer to get the light to come on while it's washing? I don't have a button for this and I've been through the book and don't see a setting to do anything with the light.
Mine is an LED. | ||

Ah, where did you see it? Yes, when you turn on the power, everything for that component, washer or dryer, on the control panel lights up; no issues with reading, a complaint by some for other LGs. And, yes, I like the simple but bold styling. | ||

Reverse Tumbling Dryers I have never seen any reason a dryer needs to reverse when running, it is certainly clear the the worlds best dryers never reversed.
To make a dryer reverse it makes it more complicated, it takes longer to dry and it is less reliable.
In fact the only reason Front Load washers reverse is because it does not cost one cent extra to make them reverse, but it actually does very little good for them to reverse.

 Bob, GE had dryers that reversed. The last redesign F&P had on the U.S. market (when they upped the AquaSmart and Eco Smart to 22 lbs capacity), before they dropped all topload laundry, the matching dryers (AeroCare) were a rebadge of the GE as per F&P established pattern, SmartLoad notwithstanding. The TOL F&P model had reverse tumble like its GE sibling. Reverse tumble was a selectable option, not inherent to the operation like SmartLoad. | ||

Those GE dryers were nice: two motors, built-in drying rack and clothes hanger. The design was a choice, though.

If I remember correctly....... .....didn't Electrolux make a big deal about their reversing dryers 10 or 15 years, ago? Recall the sales people at Lowes making a big deal about it. | ||

Dadoes is correct, the limited reversing seems odd. As an aside, I have the 4000 series turbo wash machines and am very happy with the performance and available options, save for the lack of steam/extra hot on towels but I just run those on heavy duty or bright whites as needed. The push notifications on cycle completion from the LG ThinQ app are superfluous but definitely handy
