Hey everyone. As I have posted before, I use the Yale Appliance blog for a bunch of great info. They have a huge service department in Boston and they track each and every repair on all appliance types and brands and keep it updated so you can get a real feel for the best choices.
For those folks who have small STRs with limited space, the LG Washtower could be a good solution for installations where you can't vent the dryer and have a small area.
It wouldn't be for a larger place like ours but for a 1 or 2 bedroom place, it could be a good solution if you don't currently have a washer/dryer.
Although I do not have a house that would benefit from one of these compact units, we have replaced 3 out of 4 of our homes with the LG 5 cu. ft High efficiency top load no agitator washers & the 7.3 cu ft top load dryer and my cleaners absolutely love them for the large load capacity and the custom drying time ability. They have recommended to their other clients get them and as soon as our front loaders need replacing at the 4th house, I will be replacing with these also. I wonder what Yale has to say about these.

@Michael Baum this is awsome, I am now even happier that I chose these LG machines. I will say, we purchased these in November. When we were there in May they dryer was all of sudden not heating, we called LG and they talked us through how to find the error code, gave them the code and it gave them an idea of what was wrong. They sent a repair man the next morning, repaired the flame sensor... no charge and they would not even accept a tip. We were so relieved as we had guests arriving the next day.
Yeah! We have LG front loaders in our primary residence and they have been great but they are new.
In the lakehouse, I have front load Maytag units for the last 7 years. Zero issues. Whirlpool is another super reliable brand according to Yale, of which Maytag is now a part of. :)
