How Does a Ventless Dryer Work?

Posted on by

Ventless dryers are different from conventional dryers. A conventional dryer requires connecting the exhaust port on the dryer to a dryer vent. With a ventless model, there is no additional connection needed. The ventless dryer uses advanced condensation drying technologies. Two of the more common technologies found in today’s ventless models are either air-to-air drying or cold water condensation drying. The former is common in stand-alone machines, while the latter is found in washer dryer combo models.

The basic drying process is to take heated air and cool it to remove moisture from the machine. With air-to-air drying there is an exchange of hot and cool air to remove the moisture. In cold water condensation models, the cold water cools the hot air and extracts the moisture from the clothes.

Do Ventless Dryers Use More Electricity to Dry Clothes than Conventional Dryers?

Some people might think ventless dryer models use more electricity to dry their clothes since drying cycles are typically longer than conventional machines. In spite of this, ventless drying uses less energy. With a conventional dryer, all of the heated air used to dry clothes is vented outdoors. This means the dryer has to draw in cool air and heat it up to the right temperature in order to fully dry clothes. Condensation drying technologies recycle the heated hair back into the drum with minimal heat loss, reducing the amount of electricity needed to dry the clothes.

Wash Delicates, Hand Washables, and Wool in a LG Washer and Dryer in One

Posted on by

Your new LG washer and dryer in one is capable of washing delicates, hand washables, and wool products. Many people like these additional wash cycles since they help eliminate the time needed to wash clothes by hand in the sink and cut most dry cleaning expenses. These special wash cycles carefully and gently wash your clothing using slower speeds and tumbling actions.

We recommend you only place similarly colored delicates, hand washables, and wool products into the washer and dryer in one, and never mix items. In the event clothing bleeds, the dye will not accidently recolor your other clothing. For the settings on the combination washer and dryer, always use cold water. You may want to select the wash-only option if you want to remove and hang the clothing up to dry. If you do decide to use the dryer cycle, use either the low heat or air dry only options to prevent clothing from shrinking.

Since your combination washer and dryer is a high efficiency model, you only need a very small amount of detergent. If you are only washing one or two pieces of clothing, you need to measure out the detergent by hand instead of relying on the pre-marked lines on most detergent dispensers. Ideally, you only need about a teaspoon or two of detergent for a few pieces of clothing.

Choosing the Best LG Washer Dryer for In-Home Laundry

Posted on by

Picking out the best LG washer dryer for your home involves more than merely selecting the model with the features and options you desire. While purchasing a washer and dryer that you like is important, there are other considerations to weigh before making your final decision. Evaluating these is highly recommended before you start shopping, to avoid being disappointed in certain situations, like if you find a full size capacity laundry pair, but then later discover you have to remodel your home in order to get them installed correctly.

The first step to selecting the right LG washer dryer for your home is to determine where it is going to be installed. If you have an existing laundry room with washer and dryer connections, the only thing you need to do is measure the available space. For households without existing laundry room and connections, this can be challenging. The easiest way to have in-home laundry is to choose an area of the home where it will be not be difficult to tap into existing water and drain lines, and electrical wiring, like in your bathroom or kitchen.

In situations where you simply lack sufficient space for an individual washer and dryer, consider a LG combination washer and dryer. This is a single appliance that incorporates both washing and drying functions into a single machine.

Surprise Your Family with LG Washer Dryer Combo for the Holidays

Posted on by

An LG washer dryer combo makes a great holiday present for the entire family, especially if your home currently has to make trips to the laundromat to do laundry. The best thing about a new all-in-one washer dryer is not worrying about whether your home has existing washer and dryer connections or dryer venting. Even if you are currently renting and are not able to make modifications to the home, it is easy to upgrade the combo washer and dryer and convert it into a portable laundry appliance.

How to Select the Right Size LG Washer and Dryer Combo

There are two basic sizes available in an LG washer dryer combo: 24 inch compact and 27 inch full size. 24 inch compact models are well-suited for couples who do not have a large amount of laundry to do on a weekly basis, or if you have very limited space in your home. Twenty-seven inch full size all-in-one washers and dryers are ideal for families and single parent homes where there is normally much more weekly laundry to wash and dry. You may also want to consider a full size model if you want to be able to wash larger items, like comforters, at home and avoid trips to the laundromat.

Feel free to call us at 800-875-1533 for further assistance in selecting the best size LG washer dryer combo for your home — and surprise your family this holiday season.

Posted on by

November and December are great times to find deals on a washer and dryer combo. Many manufacturers, like LG, offer a wide range of incentives at this time of year. By taking advantage of these limited time offers, you can save some money replacing your existing laundry pair, or purchase a new all-in-one washer dryer to gain the convenience of in-home laundry. Combination washers and dryers provide flexibility and ease of installation in any home, regardless of whether you have an existing laundry room or washer and dryer connections.

You can install a washer and dryer combo in just about any room in your home, such as your bathroom, kitchen, hallway closet, or basement. The only connections required are access to hot and cold water lines, a discharge drain line, and a standard 3-prong 110 volt electrical outlet. Modern combination washers and dryers use ventless drying technology, so there is no need for dryer venting. This key feature is well suited for any home looking for an in-home laundry solution currently lacking a dryer vent.

You can convert an all-in-one washer dryer into a portable machine if you are unable to make modifications to your home to tap existing water and drain lines, like for people renting an apartment or townhouse.

Upgrade from a Portable Washing Machine to a Washer Dryer Combo

Posted on by

There are several small portable washing machine models on the market today. They range in size from small table top models to slightly larger models able to do between 6 and 7 pounds of laundry. The small load sizes present challenges for most people because they end up having to wash numerous loads of clothes. Now, consider a compact combination washer and dryer capable of accommodating about 12 pounds of clothes per load. This means, with a portable washer, you end up having to run 4 or 5 loads, compared to only 2 in an all-in-one washer dryer.

Another challenge people face with many portable washing machine models is only being able to wash their clothes, so having to either hang up clothes up to dry or purchase a stand-alone portable dryer. With a washer dryer combo, both washing and drying cycles are completed in the same machine. The compact LG washer dryer combo is only 24 inches wide and provides 2.3 cubic feet of washing and drying space inside the machine. You can convert the compact washer dryer into a portable machine by adding a wheel kit and kitchen sink conversion kit.

The LG washer dryer combo includes many features found on full size washers and dryers, as well as ventless drying. To learn more about compact combination washer and dryer models from LG and how to convert them into a portable machine, contact us today at 800-875-1533.

Get Wrinkle-Free Clothes with an LG Dryer

Posted on by

An LG dryer includes several different drying options to ensure your clothes come out wrinkle free. You need to make sure to choose the best setting on the dryer which matches the load of wet laundry, including delicates, sportswear, wool, bulky items, cotton, mixed fabrics, quick dry, and manual dry settings. It is recommended to presort your clothes into their appropriate types prior to washing, such as sorting jeans from shirts, as well as lights, whites, and darks. For mixed loads, you can either use the mixed fabrics setting on the ventless dryer, or sort the wet clothes and dry them using the most appropriate setting.

Use the Radiant Heat from Your LG Dryer for Smooth Clothes

Once the drying cycle on the LG dryer has completed, you should remove the clothes immediately. The best way to fold clothes is to have a flat top laundry table, if you have a stackable LG washer and dryer, or use the top of the laundry appliances if they are installed side-by-side. The heat left in the clothing can be used to smooth out the fabrics and remove any remaining wrinkles, so you do not have to worry about ironing the clothes later. If you are putting the clothing on hangers, such as with dress shirts or dress pants, smooth out wrinkles first by laying them on the flat surface, and then put them on the hanger.
