Product review (5 stars): Wonderful Washer and Dryer set, with a caution
After weeks of deliberation and shopping, my wife and I decided to purchase the LG washer and dryer set. I was concerned that they would be a lot of extra work installing because of their size and weight, but my concerns were overridden by my wife's desire to have a machine large enough to wash her king-sized comforters and afghans. We found the best buy by far on Amazon and they were delivered right on time. I was right about the amount of trouble installing them, but probably only because I'm over 70 years old. I highly recommend hiring a professional to install them for you. However, once we got them up and running we were deeply impressed with how well they work. We had no problems with water "hammering" as some have reported, nor excessive vibration, unless the washer is really heavily loaded. Even then the vibration was not really bad, as I was very careful to get the machine perfectly level. Because of the difficulty of moving them I purchased an extended warranty. I suggest that before installing them, READ the directions BEFORE mounting them onto the pedestals, especially the dryer. There are some little plastic clips that go on the bottom of the dryer before it is mounted, and you have to tap them in with a hammer. Much easier to do before it is on the pedestal. Trust me. Once again, if you are of retirement age and not built like Schwarzenegger, MAKE ARRANGMENTS FOR HELP!,
