LG and Profile both have combo washers and dryers with heat
pump drying technology.
They're both about the same capacity. So which should you
buy? In this video,
we compare the results of four different modes of laundry in
both the LG and the Profile.
We wash colors, whites, king-size sheets,
and a blanket make king-size comforter,
but there's so much to consider beyond how they wash and dry
they won't find on inspection.
So stay the end to better understand which might be right
if either for you.
We normally didn't recommend
buying their traditional combo washers and dryers,
especially for families or heavy users because they can
effectively remove the lint. Over time,
the lint will seize the machine for an expensive and almost
impossible service cost. However, Boci and LG address
this issue directly with separate filters. G's on the
front. LG is on the top. You'll see the results later in the video.
Key pumps were invented in the eighteen fifties used primarily
in the nineteen seventies for HVAC filing being installed in
dryers in the late nineteen nineties. However,
both these dryers are larger at four point eight feet for GE
and five foot for LG versus the smaller two point five cubic
feet for the European compact laundry say a Bosch or miele.
He pumps use a compressor to heat the air through an
exchanger with an evaporator moving the moisture and a
closed loop system.
It is far more efficient than your vented laundry,
but can take more time as well.
You'll see the results in the cycles later in the video.
I don't wanna spend a ton of time on features.
We have other videos covering that topic.
These are the main benefits.
Both of the washer and dryer meaning you'll never have to
transfer your clothes from a washer to a dryer.
Pop in your dirty clothes, and they will finish clean and dry.
You don't have to rewash a load.
You forgot to place in your dryer either.
Both units are ventless and one twenty volts,
meaning you can place them anywhere with an outlet and water source.
You also never have to worry again about cleaning the dryer vents.
Both have robust apps and can also track time remaining on
your phone and receive a push notification when the cycle is finished.
The first log we tested was colors,
which consisted of six men's t shirts,
and four beach styles that we stained with chocolate milk.
Gee took two hours and fifty one minutes versus the LG,
which took two hours and seventeen minutes,
both remove the stains and drive the laundry to the same degree.
When we tested a load of whites containing eight men's dress shirts,
four white towels and eight men's white undershirt staying
with chocolate milk. G took two hours and forty eight minutes.
There's three hours and eight minutes to the LG. Again,
both removed the stains and dried the laundry to the same
degree. Next, we wash and dried a king-size comforter.
We didn't stain the comforter with chocolate milk.
To each of two hours and one minute versus two hours and
thirty two minutes for the LG.
The comforter came out slightly damp from both units,
which is expected from any washer, dryer,
including your vented one. Lastly,
we tested king-size sheets in a king-size blanket.
It took two hours maintenance for GE versus three hours and
twenty nine minutes for LG.
The blanket and sheets were totally dry coming out of the g
and mostly dry coming out of the LG.
In the g profile ultra fast,
the lint filters next to the air exchanger heatsink.
It's an efficient design, but you must be extremely careful
pie clean it so you don't scratch or dent the heatsick. In the LG,
the wind filter is located on the top of the machine,
which eliminates the rim scratching or denting the
heatsink because you lift it up and out versus pulling it out
alongside of it.
When our service tech of twenty years broke down both machines
and neither had any lint collecting inside to cause a
future service problem.
But which design is better in the long run is really undecided.
G may have the advantage here because it has the larger heat
pump and is more accessible for service.
He pumps are reliable in general, but in smaller units.
The combo adds a different element with the washer and
brice that's hard to know future reliability.
before you buy.
LG's cubic footages is a bit bigger at five cubic versus
four point eight for the profile.
Price will be a determining factor. When we filmed this video,
LG was nineteen ninety eight versus GE at twenty five fifty four,
although both prices will fluctuate during different times the year.
The MG has their own service and their own service techs,
which is a big advantage when buying from a store without service.
One last thing,
What about just buying a traditional washer and dry up
here? With combos,
you do get the convenience of putting in clothes dirty and
having them finish clean and dry versus constantly
transferring loads. However,
you could do more laundry with a separate washer guard because
you can reload the washer when it's done with separate washer
drives out so more proven performance and liability over
the long term, mostly because the combos are new. That said,
would you choose the price of the LG or the warranty and
service network of the profile or just get a regular washer
dryer? You can let us know in the comments.
