One thing I didnt' know about being a mother is the fact that it would be so difficult to ask my kids to transfer laundry from the washer to the dryer. This laundry washer/dryer combo from LG makes me look like a superstar! I don't have to worry about clothes sitting in the washer for a while - when i press start, it runs and wehn it ends, its dry. You must buy small washer underneath the combo unit. It's super quite and best washer/dryer in the market out there!
