The LG WM3988HWA Washer/Dryer. Value-priced model helps you clean up.
A combination washer dryer is one appliance that both washes and dries clothes. These units have only one chamber for clothes; they are not stackable washer/dryers. Washer dryer combos have been popular in Europe and the Far East for many years; due to the small apartments and living spaces common in these areas, compact appliances were developed to fit the smaller spaces. Many combos are also designed to be portable, offering even more options for storage and use of the unit.
The major benefit of a combo is the compact size: they are smaller than most washers or dryers. In fact, many people install these units under their kitchen counter, because they only take up about as much space as a normal size dishwasher! In addition, casters allow the unit to be rolled around with ease whenever needed.
You can easily connect this machine to your kitchen faucet, there are faucet adaptors available so the LG WM3988HWA can be connected to a standard kitchen sink faucet. When connected to a faucet, the outlet hose on the machine can be run to the sink drain.
The LG WM3988HWA washer dryer combo with Allergiene boasts a 22 lb. dry laundry capacity and is Energy Star rated. As the largest capacity front-loading combo washer dryer in its class, the LG WM3988HWA utilizes multiple integrated spray jets and a powerful direct-drive motor to provide silent operation and maximum energy efficiency. This machine also uses less power than other washing machines (uses 120V, 60Hz, 12 Amps). It washes and dries clothes in a single unit with your choice of 9 wash programs and 5 wash/dry programs. In addition, LG’s innovative steam cleaning cycles make it possible for you to eliminate most allergens from clothing and linens, thereby helping you and your family to breathe more easily within the home.
The LG WM3988HWA is a “front loader”. Front loaders are much better than top-loaders in energy and water efficiency. High-efficiency front-loader can save $125 or more per year in energy and water costs compared with regular models.
The efficiency of combo units not only saves you money by using much less energy and water to operate than standard washers and dryers, but many utility companies offer rebates for purchases of energy efficient appliances. Check with your local utility companies for eligibility.
The LG WM3988HWA washes much better (and gentler) than standard washers. It uses a front load washing design that utilizes a horizontal axis drum. This eliminates the agitator common to top load washers. The horizontal axis drum in the machine mimics washboard clothes washing, raising the clothes out of the water and soap and plunging them back in. Finally, the high rotations of the spin cycle of the machine gets water and soap residue out of your clothes much better than normal washers do.
This efficient and thorough cleaning process is especially helpful for people with sensitive skin or allergies to laundry soap.
Bottom Line: The LG WM3988HWA is perfect for those who need a compact, quiet, easy to use, energy and water efficient washer/dryer.
