LG Electronics Ventless WM3632H combintaion washer/dryer

Date Published: 5/15/08

Doing the laundry in tight quarters has never been easier thanks to the innovative washer/dryer WM3632H from LG Electronics.

The WM3632H washes, then dries the laundry all in the same machine, in one tub, using regular household current. This certainly sounds like the ideal situation; however, like most revolutionary products, this one does have its drawbacks. Although you'll save trips to the laundromat, it will take longer to do your laundry.

This machine uses a ventless, condensation dryer that is very slow to dry when compared to typical vented dryers. Many users report that the best way to adapt to this difference is to do a load of laundry when out for the day and then another one overnight.

While every all-in-one combo has this shortcoming, every all-in-one doesn't have the WM3632H's capacity. At 3.72 cubic feet, it's one of the largest such models you'll find. The benefit of this is obvious--you can simply do more laundry with this machine than with the others.

In order to take advantage of this capacity, you will need a bit more space. This model requires 27 inches of width, while the smaller units make do with about 24 inches. Additional height and depth will also be required.

As with all machines of this nature, features can be a concern. With this model the feature package is more than complete.

The LG Electronics WM3632H offers virtually every feature we could think of from nine wash programs, to six temperature combos, to an incredible choice of six different spin speeds. This model, one of a number of such units from LG electronics, comes in white only and bears an impressive warranty.

Pros: Large capacity, lots of convenience features
Cons: Requires more space than some, slow drying



Warranty
1 year, full; 2 years, control board; 7 years, motor; lifetime, drum
