Pretty good. Seems like the engineering was rushed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like being able to throw in a load and not have to switch the load to the dryer. However, the dryer doesn't always complete drying, and I have to run it longer. I'm not sure why it's not sensing the moisture, you'd think it could do that. I did figure out from the scattered and incomplete documentation that you can combine the reservoirs for detergent and softener into one large detergent reservoir. I never use softener, so that was great! The lint trap is a little wonky. The engineers really didn't figure that all the way out. The app tells me when the cycle is done, which is nice, but it says to open the door or remove the load immediately to avoid odors. I don't think this should be required.
Awful product!
I bought this in February 2025. It's the worst purchase I've ever made. It takes forever to do a load of laundry (wash & dry). It requires more cleaning maintenance than a regular dryer. A regular dryer hardly has any lint buildup if you don't use a dryer sheet. This combo washer/dryer always has lint buildup in the lint trap as well as all around the rubber inside when you open the door. As this is a combo, you can't add a dryer sheet. The lint also builds up behind the lint trap and although the manual says to remove that piece to clean the lint, the piece IS NOT removable. The only fabric softner dispenser is the ez-dispenser which you need to fill up. If you don't use it for every load, you need to change the selection every time. Very disappointed in this product.

Happy with all n one washer dryer.
I have had this machine two years. For about 8 months it didn't work well. Finally I put a level on it and it was not level. I raised all the legs and used a 4 foot level to level it with the bubble closer to the back line but inside the lines. Works way better. Lint that had collected along the front of the drum gone! Generally finishing on time. Very happy that I can start a load, leave, and come back to dry clothes. Clean the condenser everything it gets build-up. Approximately every 25-30 loads.
Hello, Chesca! Really appreciate you sharing your long‑term experience with your LG WM6998HBA — it’s great hearing how leveling the unit brought everything back into sync and helped the machine perform the way it’s meant to. Love that you’re now getting those on‑time finishes, cleaner cycles, and the freedom to start a load and return to dry clothes. Keeping the condenser clear every few dozen loads is a solid habit, too. If you ever need anything down the road, feel free to reach out to @LGUSSupport. ^James
Poor product!
Only cycle that works is Permanent Press. None of the other cycles (towels, bedding, etc) dry at all. Soap pods generally do not break open. When they do, clothes tend to stain. Excessive lint buildup on each cycle but permanent press. Make sure you get the extended warranty (I didn’t!) so you can get a replacement product. Definitely NOT what I expected from a LG product.
Hello Erix. Thank you for taking the time to share your review regarding your LG WM6998HBA Washer Dryer Combo. We always strive to deliver innovative and highly efficient laundry features for your home, and we want to ensure every cycle cleans and dries your garments to perfection. When experiencing issues with cycle performance or detergent dissolving properly, we recommend ensuring the drum is not overloaded and placing soap pods directly into the back of the empty drum before adding clothes to guarantee proper water exposure.

DO NOT BUY this. HORRBLE Product
Deserves ZERO stars. My elderly mother purchased this washer/dryer combo. Unfortunately, she did not read the reviews prior. This was a very expensive purchase, for her and she is living on a fixed income so now she is stuck with the absolute rip-off. Shame on LG for selling a product that you knew was awful. It takes all day, literally, to wash and dry one light load. We have followed all of the instructions on use, care and maintenance, and it still does not perform as it should, especially for the price. I get angry every time I look at the machine, knowing she made a terrible purchase that is nothing less than a huge disappointment and a waste of money. LG should not have sold this product. She cannot afford to go out and purchase another one and she shouldn't have to. Again, shame on you LG for selling this, I know it had to be tested before rolling it out to consumers, yet you knowingly sold a faulty product at the expense of the consumers who trusted your brand.
Hello. We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG WM6998HBA Washer‑dryer combo, and we understand how the long cycle times have affected your mother’s day‑to‑day use. We want you both to feel confident in how the WashCombo manages wash and dry performance, and your feedback helps us see exactly what’s been happening in your home. This model can extend the total cycle time when the unit detects heavier fabrics, mixed loads, or higher moisture levels. Selecting cycles like Quick Wash, Speed Dry, or reducing the load size can help shorten the overall run time. Keeping the lint filter clear and ensuring the unit has proper airflow around the cabinet also supports faster drying. You can review more details on why wash times may extend here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-frontload-washer-wash-time-keeps-extending--20153782074388 If you’d like us to review her unit settings or walk through options that better match her laundry needs, feel free to reach out to lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ^James
i wrote a long review and it disappeared. imagine that. this combo does not dry clothes. washes good. drying 2 pairs of jeans, 10 light undershirts by hanes, 10 pairs of light boxers and one thin towel takes 8 to 10 hours. not 2. and you cant leave your house. it will catch fire. it gets so hot u can feel it in the next room and it makes loud and terrible noises. u have to check on it all the time and the lint doesnt get up to the ontop lint trap. its always around the rubber door rim and foor window and in little holes in the rubber gaskets. your suppose to wipe it. the seal, with a damp cloth. and everytime u check it its linty again. u have to take ur machine apart every 10 cycles and take the lint off the coils. and out of the lint trap on top of the machine and the door seal and the 2 vents in the door seal. do not buy this combo. we wasted so much money and lg glosses over drying complaints. talks about things the customers never complained about. ppl say notify me when we can trade this in or call me when theres a class action suit. its that bad. if u wash towels expect the dryer to be running 10 plus hours and then u hang them outside on the deck rail cause they are still damp. same for jeans. same for mens 3xlt tshirts. bedding? thats a joke! big enuff to fit but it wont dry.

Dry time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] as much as I love the convenience of the wash and dry feature, it can take almost 3 hours for full cycle. I do love that it’s ventless and runs on 120 V

Highly Recommend
I can was and dry loads from the smallest to a large load like a bed spread. The machine analyzes the load and tosses it around so the high speed spin keeps the machine level at all times. This ventless washer dryer is an amazing machine.
