LG WM6998HBA combo washer vs GE PFQ97HSPVDS combo washer

Here is a quick review and comparison of LGs heat pump combo washer dryer vs GEs version.

Frank thanks for confirming my purchase. I just bought the LG and it will be delivered this weekend. I was debating over spending the extra $500 on the GE but decided to just stick with my gut instinct and keep the LG. Never thought I would be getting excited to wash clothes.

Thanks for your review Frank. It would nice to get further updates with any new pros or cons with your new unit. Unfortunately, it is not yet available in Canada. Until it is, I look forward to any new information & thanks again for posting your video.

The YouTube guy named Ben that deals in washers and dryers reviewed both of these namebrand units. He did say he liked the LG better but he also said he believe he found the problem in the GE, which you only had to put a beat of caulking around the other side Filter and he seems to think that will fix it. The GE seems to be less steps to wash where the LG has I think over 30 different variations or even more. So I am going to take a chance and buy the GE and do the little silicone bead on the backside of the filter and we’ll see what happens, you’re right they’ll probably come out with a new improve filter soon for the GE and I believe the GE will come down $500 in the next few weeks to match the same price as the LG. Thanks for the video it was good.

Hi! Is there any chance you could do a really careful measurement of the side-to-side width? It says 27” but I’m really close on space, and even the smallest amount over or under 27” (even an 1/8th or 1/4”) would make a difference for us. I’ve not found one near me or I’d measure it myself on a display. Thanks so much!

I like this unit but for my space the depth is an issue. The depth is 33 1/8". The GE is 30" in depth. Since you've had both GE ultrafast combo and now this, are the dimensions vastly different??

[christopherblack]

One review said the GE is made in China and the LG is made in South Korea, is that true could not confirm on Google. Since you used both how does the washing drying compare.

Thank you for this video☺️ I was ready to go out and purchase the GE and saw the new LG and watched a few reviews on it plus yours and now i can definitely see the issues with the GE so LG is the winner in my book. Did you take out any extended warranty on the LG?

Once all these manufacturers get to the 2nd generation of these units they will be improved greatly by learning from the other manufacturers mistakes

Glad to hear the LG isn't showing any signs of lint buildup on the evaporator coil. Reports of buildup and the absurd amount of disassembly required to thoroughly clean the evaporator on the GE turned me off it.

Aside from the better lint filter, LG has a direct drive motor. I don't trust GEs belt drive. If GE decides to build a unit with direct drive and a more efficient lint filter that could give them the edge. Would probably increase the price and overall weight of the machine.

It seems like the LG cycle times for a full wash and dry are quite a bit longer than GE. How much of a difference are you seeing?

[CyrusPenrod]

Do the clothes feel dryer?

Is the total cycle time about the same as the GE?

Please start an empty tub on Towels + Turbo Wash 360 + Extra Rinse (+3) so we can see how much water is achievable in the tub!

[jimmyfox]

Where did you buy from that you returned the GE? How long did you have it for?

[TheGramee]

Great but drain pump slowly died....now wont drain. Also needs filter for coil area. It allows coil to get plugged causes pump to over work n die

[wyzemann]

So, the Ge version dumps their excess lint on those near-inaccessible coils, & LG prefers to deposit theirs right at the “mouth” of the unit…very easy to wipe or vacuum with a wet vac💪🏾.

LG(S. Korean) vs. GE(Chinese) engineering…This American appreciates the little LG quirks and their easy fixes. By the time I'm ever in the market to invest in one of these, they should all be designed near-adequately, with a glut of more choices on the market. Maybe Speed Queen or Maytag will produce a commercial version before the decade ends🤔.

Thanks for your helpful upload👏🏾👍🏾.

Does this unit allow for extra water like the GE does.
I know from having previous front load LG washers. they're very frugal with water.
Did they put in a water plus ?
