Bought with 15" LG pedestal for cramped condo laundry closet. My drain in 36" off of floor, have heard that drain height affects drying time/effectiveness. Works without issue 6 months and going, washing and drying.
Washer is same as other LG washers with similar features. Issue for potential buyer is the adjustments needed to get most out of appliance (especially at high price), quirks of drying which are not a barrier for me.
Drying takes longer depending on load size and type of material, and will never get bone dry out of the unit - different drying process.
I use the following steps to wash. 1) Sort clothe for like material. Uneven results with mixed loads. 2) Smaller loads, generally do not go over recommended capacity. 3) Do not have set laundry day. I load at night or before work and let run (with fresh care setting to avoid wrinkles) - and put away later in AM or PM. 4) Wipe lint off of seal of unit. 5) Run unit every two months in clean drum mode.
