What's great about it: LG reputation
What's not so great: Price, I guess? I got it for $850.
I've had this dryer for a couple weeks and have ran about a dozen loads. I am very pleased with the extremely quick dry time. The control panel is well lit and the features are easy to use. Feels like something from the future.
However, it is the functionality that makes it stand out. And it has that in spades. Solid product and the high rated reviews are true, amazing dryer.
If I had any complaints (which I don't)... it ain't cheap (but it is worth every penny). I upgraded from a standard Whirlpool and this thing is in another league. Like going from little league to the bigs. AND ignore reviews about it not drying things completely. In just a few loads, I figured out that jeans may need a couple extra minutes when being dried with other cotton items. The appliance does a great job of stopping when your clothes are dry. I like that my items are a tiny bit underdried, as opposed to way over dried.
But she gets it right when you know how to set your dryer. And it's not brain surgery. Read the manual and you will experience wonderful results!

What's great about it: Myriad of adjustments, highly customizable, quiet and functional.
What's not so great: Occasionally leaves the load of clothes slightly damp unless set to "maximum dry" setting.
This dryer has every adjustment I could imagine ever needing. Large capacity, user-adjustable temp, dryness settings, time and the drying rack that installs inside the dryer is an awesome feature when drying shoes or garments you don't want tumbled around for 30 minutes. My only complaint, a minor one, is that our dryer tends to keep loads a bit more damp than we'd like. There's a fine line between over-cooking the clothes and having them scorched and getting them just right. Our dryer needs to be set to "max dry" to get them "normal dry" in my opinion. Otherwise the load finishes and there will still be just a hint of moisture in the clothes. Otherwise, love the unit and plan to keep it a long time.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Dry sensor but I can live with it
I have had a Kenmore washer and dryer for the last 13 plus years and the dryer finally went out. I researched washers and dryers and knew I wanted a top loading washer, had heard to many bad stories about the front loaders. Did I find the perfect set! Washer and dryer are awesome , there are so many options for settings it's sometimes hard to decide which setting to use. The only issue I have with the dryer is it senses when your clothes should by dry and turns off but sometimes the clothes are not completely dry so you have to do a manual set for a little longer. Overall wonderful job LG you outdid yourself.

What's great about it: Low Vibration, Large Capacity
What's not so great: Extracts too much water from clothes at high spin speeds
For a short time I had a front-loading washer (also an LG), but it was on the second floor & caused so much vibration that a crack developed in the ceiling below. With this washer as it spins I can see the drum wobble some, but standing next to it I cannot feel any vibration. I have had the problem others have reported where the spin removes so much water from the clothes that the dryer cannot get the wrinkles out. Using a low spin speed solves the problem. I am happy that I bought the larger capacity model, as it is able to wash a very thick queen-size comforter.

What's great about it: Quiet !
What's not so great: Remote support can read dryer's diagnostics through the phone.
We started to look for a flat screen TV and she saw the dryer. She got the dryer. We replaced a 22 year old Kenmore gas dryer with the LG DLG5002W gas dryer. It was a customer return and just the right price for us. We have a LG front load washer so the LG brand was a known item.
Initial loads was faster drying than the old Kenmore. Considerably quiter. It kept up with the washer, load for load, so I am pretty impressed. No more waiting for the dryer to unload and load current washer load. I think the high speed spin of the washer helps in quicker drying.

What's great about it: Efficient at drying clothes quickly
What's not so great: "Dinging" noise for setting cycles
So far I love this dryer! I have had it for a month now and it has lived up to its description. Clothes are dry in 30 min with a regular load, a little longer for towels and bedding and it has special cycles for those too. The space inside is large enough to fit bedding and other large loads. It runs so much quieter then my last dryer (14 yr old GE). The "dinging" noise when you turn the cycle dial is a little annoying but my 11 yr old son loves it and he's the one who moves the clothes to the dryer and starts it so that is something I can overlook. I needed to reverse the door on the dryer and although the directions were a little confusing it was simple enough to do without them. There are a lot of settings to choose from although I'll probably never use all of them its nice to have the options. The digital displays have me worried about future repairs but it seems most choices out there now all revolve around the electronic buttons and LG was rated one of the better choices with low repair history so I'm hoping for the best!
I would definately recommend this dryer.

What's great about it: It does the job properly
What's not so great: A bit pricey
When you need to replace your dryer. Try this LG product. It is designed flawlessly, operates with ease and accuracy and is quite an impressive product. The dryers sensor PROPERLY dries Towels when mixed with clothes. Unlike the Whirlpool product that I previously owned that BOASTED the same. Time to give those foreign made products the respect that they ARE due. Our stuff stinks right now. The Maytag that I owned previous to the Whirlpool product was a superior product to the Whirlpool product even though it was a simplier machine. Hope you digest this information honestly as LG is the way to go at this point in our lives!

Priced this model at Home Depot and Best Buy; bought at Best Buy with a $100 savings.

This new dryer is quiet and efficient - we love it!

What's great about it: Capacity, features
What's not so great: loads aren't always completely dry; some excessive wrinkling
I've had the LG 5002 dryer for a short time so I haven't figured out the best settings for different loads. I've noticed cotton shirts can be very wrinkled when they come out of the dryer, even though I think I have it on the correct setting for that type of load. My greatest concern with it is that the dryness sensor often determines that the load is dry when it really isn't, so it turns off. For example, I cannot wash shorts & pants together with shirts because the dryer turns off before the pants are completely dry. Hopefully I can find the perfect settings for optimal performance. Also, anyone that relies on the "end-of-cycle" signal should know that it is not very loud at all. Other than these few concerns I'm fairly pleased with the dryer and I love the capacity and features!

What's great about it: Looks, Settings, Easy to use
What's not so great: Not as effective as promised
This dryer looks great, has lots of features, and is very easy to use. It just doesn't dry as quickly or as thoroughly as it should. I had someone come out and make sure that it was working correctly and he said it seemed fine. You have to manipulate the automatic programing to either "more dry ", for a longer time, or at a higher temperature to really get it to work. NOT the time saver I was hoping for at this price.

What's great about it: Saves me money and dries everything I put in it without shrinking it.
What's not so great: they are in my basement :)
I replaced a 4-year old electric dryer with this gas dryer. My electric bill went from $300 a month to $115 a month. It's huge inside as I have already dried my oversized, very expensive king size comforter. The dryness sensor is great. I would recommend this LG appliance to anyone. I performed weeks of research before I purchased my LG Washer and gas dryer. I'm extremely pleased with both.

My 14 year old dryer failed and I started by reading a leading consumer magazine tests on dryers. This LG was rated in the top 5. I then looked for consumer reviews online and found all were very positive. Finally price dropped by $250, I was sold on this dryer.
Quiet, large capacity, mutiple automatic settings plus the ability to customize settings to meet your needs. Large, easy to remove and clean lint filter. Even has a flow test to check for blockage in the venting. Hightly recommended.

What's great about it: Lots of settings, glass door
What's not so great: A little louder than expected, but not annoying
Just bought this dryer & the matching washer after my Kenmore dryer had trouble with it's electronic touch pad. Too expensive to replace versus buying new. Products have come a long way so it was time to upgrade.
After our dryer started beeping incessantly and we realized we had to buy something new, we both went online and did independent research. After a full day of looking, I went to him with this dryer & the washer and he had picked the same ones! Yay!
Delivery was "good" but could have been a little better. I think the delivery guy got a little annoyed that he had to switch the door on the dryer to open the other direction because of my laundry room configuration. Actual delivery day/time was as promised. He knew what he was doing when installing.
There are a lot of settings and I haven't tried them all yet. I am pleased with the Energy Star efficiency information and it is drying just fine. I mean, really, it dries clothes at various heat settings. It's not like it can cook dinner! It does make a different sound than my old dryer, and might be a little louder, though not unpleasant. My den, where I spend a lot of time, shares the wall with the laundry room. I can tell when it's on, but it isn't annoying. The electronic display is really cool, but worrisome because that's where my old dryer went bad :(
I like the rack that you can place shoes and garments on so they don't spin while they dry. I did throw a couple of pillows in it today and they came out nice and fluffy. I did a HUGE load of towels last night and it dried them very well and it didn't seem to take as long as my old dryer. Lint screen is convenient. Other than that, it's a dryer. It works. I could have paid less for a cheaper model, but I think this one was worth the money.
Overall, I love the look of the unit, LOVE the glass door that lets me see where the clothes are so I can move them around if needed, it has a lot of options and I think it will perform well for a long time. It's big inside and can handle the washer, which is also HUGE!
LG products seem to hold up really well and their warranties are great, but I did buy the extended warranty as a safeguard after what I went through with my old dryer. I have a TV, had cell phones and will definitely buy their products in the future if they keep up the good work!
You probably can't go wrong with this purchase. Just make sure to do your price comparisons and watch for sales within the first 30 days! This one just went on sale after I paid full price a few days ago. Best Buy will be seeing me tomorrow!
Happy Drying!
