We did a major remodel in our kitchen & laundry area.  We had a side/side washer/gas dryer.  We now have the LG Wash Tower.  It takes up half the amount of space.  The washer is on the bottom & dryer is on the top.  They are both full size tubs.  The controls are in the middle.  VERY HANDY location.  With my old machine I would have to do an extre rinse on our dark colors.  It looked like maybe the wash cycles didn’t have enough water to get all the soap off the clothes.  I DO NOT have that problem any more.  I have NO REGRETS about getting this wash tower.  Now I have room for a storage cabinet.  Happy Customer.
