LG Sidekick 1.0 cu ft Top Load Washing Machine with Slide Out Drawer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's really nice The pedestal washer is great. I really enjoy having the ability to wash a load of clothes and then to wash a small load that may not need drying in the pedestal washer. It's also nice to have the LG app to let you know when your laundries done and to keep track of when you need to clean the washer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product and it works like a charm. It has lot of useful features. High quality product!

One of the reasons we purchased the LG Front Load washer was bacause of the Sidekick. I am so glad we did! I can get 2 loads of laundry done at one time and I no longer have to run a big machine for just a couple of items. It's also great for washing my running shoes.

The only reason we bought this is that it didn't cost a whole lot more than the regular pedestal. I didn't expect to use it much, and at first I didn't. I fell in love the first time a laundry emergency came up while I had a load going in the big washer, and now I use it as much as a few times a day. It cleans great, it's pretty quick, and it's quiet. If you're getting pedestals and have kids and/or pets this upgrade is 100% worth it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I do like the sidekick pedestal washer for small loads and when I spill on an article of clothing that I want to wash immediately. It serves the purpose when I want to keep a stain from setting without wasting a lot of water. I do wish it would spin excess water out when the load is complete.

I bought this to go with my LG Washer. It is absolutely wonderful. I can do a load of towels, sheets, or even a comforter in the top washer, while, at the same time wash a load of items requiring gentle wash. I don't have to use a large load for only a few small items. It cuts my laundry time virtually in 1/2 by not having to put a very small load into the main washer - or allows me to wash my delicates and sportswear on a more consistent basis. I do not have to wait for two to three weeks waiting until I get a full load. I've been chomping at the bit to have one of these for a very long time, and now I have it. I love it. The only drawback is that it, as well as the top washer, seems to leak - I don't know if it's the soap or what - but it has a leak down the left side - leaving a white line of maybe detergent? I do not know what it is. The filters are clean. This has been going on since the day I had it installed. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because of the leak with the white film. Also, it will not connect to my ThinQ program. I have followed directions over and over - to no avail. I cannot get one single LG product to hook up to ThinQ - I own all LG products - TV, Dishwasher, Stove/Double Oven, Washer/Dryer, Washer Sidekick, Refrigerator, Second Refrigerator - not one single product will link to the ThinQ

The price is not bad on this pedestal, which also acts as a small washing machine. However, the water pump and spin cycle needs to be stronger to perform more optimally at ejecting water from a small load of laundry. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bad design . A Mildew Magnet It's a great idea but according to the (in my opinion, completely non-experienced techs reading from scripts) LG “it's normal for there to be some water at the bottom of the machine after a cycle.” I had to repeat until I was blue in the face “a lot of water that doesn't evaporate even with fans, dry climate & the top open 24/7 for ONE Month is NOT NORMAL. Mildew city. Clearly the design needs to be rethought with water sensors for appropriate draining.

Good for small loads but the machine but the water does not fully drain well. After the second wash, there was an odor coming from, what I believe to be, sitting water. Also, detergent/softener must be added into washer. I would recommend this product if it drained water completely to avoid mold and odor. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i bought this high tech washer and the bottom unit malfunctioned and i have been waiting now for over a month, with three cancelled service trips by LG to repair my problem to be resolved
