I'd heard some pretty negative reviews of these all-in-one washer/dryer's so I thought I might be better off using a tried and true stacked apartment style w/d. but reading through the reviews today they LG seems pretty good for what I need. I don't mind doing frequent small loads--in fact that's how I would realistically need to use this. The wash/dry cycle time does seem long, but I don't envision myself needing certain laundry done in a tight time frame often or at all. I would like to hang some/most laundry in the summertime anyways, and in the winter I'd like to design for a laundry line or two somewhere indoors, especially for "delicates" which I prefer to hangdry anyways.
One of the reviews mentioned buying the "drawer accessory" which I couldn't find anywhere but it sounded like it was one of those drawer stand things that go underneath the new fancy washers and he said it raised the height to almost eye level. seems like a good idea if I can find it. he said it reduced the vibration and noise. Some people did complain about noise so if possible I will design for it to go in a closet. alternative would be that I think this would fit under countertop level, but #1 I want the countertops a couple inches lower than this would allow and I think for noise having it built into a closet with door might be good. we'll see how the space and costs shake out. I also think I can put my tankless water heater in the closet above this and who knows maybe some more shelving too to make this my utility closet/pantry.
