Get the Kenmore

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Looks good, does the job when it's working
Cons Apparent defect and they don't stand behind their products.
Recommended it? No

I got the extended warranty for the washer but I passed on the dryer thinking they're a simple machine and I had a number of dryers and never a problem. Well not quite one month after the warranty expired the dryer drum split at the seam. I called LG to complain hoping they would step up to bat and... Read full review »

Propane (LP) Users Beware!

bylpuser Nov 20, 2006
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Looks great! Unfortunately have yet to run it
Cons Propane versions cost $$$.
Recommended it? No

Was very excited to receive it only to find I have to spend an additional $225/- to get it to work with propane. This in spite of stating the propane version prior to purchase. LG is the only company I know that won't supply a conversion kit without a licence to service. So you are forced to spend... Read full review »

Pros Lights on face easy to read, nice sounding chimes. Light inside dryer drum.
Cons Dries unevenly, requires several touch up cycles, and cost.
Recommended it? No

LG certainly knows how to market. Lots of bells and whistles but how well this dryer works is another story, sorry to say.

After checking installation and important items, we were on our way. The controls on this dryer offer many different modes and type of drying, although they didn't... Read full review »

Great dryer, but LP users take note

byrjairam Mar 26, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Quick drying (GAS!) many modes to choose, time remaining indicator, quick drying
Cons LP gas conversion costs extra and must be done by a pro
Recommended it? Yes

We bought this dryer new from the home depot in March 2007.

First thing, it's gas. Huge plus. Dries faster because gas doesn't have to warm up as electric does.

I love the automatic drying modes. Depending on the settings it can come out extra dry or just damp. That's fine for... Read full review »

Learning the Perils of LG

byall4chem Nov 9, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Dries quickly, (might be washer related), lots of features.
Cons No thorough drying, lot's of squeaking and whumping(very loud), no service so far!
Recommended it? No

First off, I'm starting to think the whump, whump, whump on start up is just an LG trait. I read about it before I bought it and expected some noise, after all you are talking about substantial weight you're moving from rest.
Anyway, it's the squeaking I can't stand. It sounds like a hamster... Read full review »

Works for me

Pros Matches 2277 washer, dries well
Cons No major ones
Recommended it? Yes

I'm probably gonna jinx myself on this. I read the not so glowing reviews on this dryer, but all of the positive reviews of the 2277 washer motivated me to give the dryer a try.

Three weeks into ownership, there are no obvious major flaws with the unit. There is some drum noise as... Read full review »

A good match for the 2277 washer.

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Does what it's supposed to do.
Cons Price may be a factor for some.
Recommended it? Yes

There's not a whole lot to say about dryers. I will say the picture here on the site is incorrect. The DLG5988W has the front-mounted controls (like the 2277HW washer, so they can be stacked.

At any rate, it's got 9 cycles and 6 heat settings. I like the fact that the drying is done now... Read full review »

Never again

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Dryer looks state-of-the art.
Cons Doesn't dry clothes.

Bought a matching LG washer and gas dryer - spent way too much money. Washer's ok but the gas dryer is terrible. Sensor does not work. Clothes have to be repeatedly dried. Dry clothes on manual for hour+ and they're still damp. Gas will only ignite occasionally. Have to wait several hours after... Read full review »

Worst dryer ever owned

Pros None
Cons Poor reliability. Poor performance.
Recommended it? No

I bought this dryer with the matching washer from Best Buy 13 months ago with an extended warranty. It worked OK for five months before the electronics started failing. After six repair visits, I have had the the main circuit board and sensor replace, but it still keeps breaking down. The repairman... Read full review »

Pros looks great
Cons doesn't last
Recommended it? No

nine months after owning this one, it quits drying. I call lg customer service, they ask if we use bounce. I respond yes. LG then proceeds to say that using bounce voids the warranty. I asked where in the owner's manual that was stated, and after being transferred five times, was finally able to... Read full review »
