LG SideKick Review: Pros and Cons of our Washer and Dryer

This LG SideKick review shares the pros and cons of our washer and dryer. I will also show you up-close photos of the functions available on both units. I hope this is helpful! To see an additional review written after using this system for three years, click here. 

I quickly mentioned our new LG TWIN Wash & SideKick Pedestal washer and dryer several months ago in one of my Slice of Life posts, and since then a few of you have asked for a full review after I’d used the system for a while. I’d be happy to!

The LG Twin Wash and Sidekick Pedestal includes two washing machines. The LG pedestal underneath the washing machine is actually a second washing machine. This honest review shares what I love about the machine as well as who I'd recommend it to and why.

Believe it or not, I actually won this LG TWIN Wash & SideKick Pedestal from a Best Buy sweepstakes that I entered at the BlogHer conference last July. I’ve never won anything substantial like this before, so when I received a tweet from a Best Buy employee late August stating that I’d won a sweepstakes, I actually thought it was spam or some kind of promotional gimmick. After exchanging a couple emails back and forth, I realized this was no joke! Jamie and I were floored (and thankful) to say the least!

LG SideKick Review

Let’s cut straight to the chase: This system includes two (TWO!!) washing machines. The top left drum is huge and fits an outrageous amount. The pedestal underneath the washing machine isn’t actually a storage pedestal like it appears, but it’s a second washing machine. It can run at the same time as the top machine and is designed to quickly and fully wash smaller loads.

If your biggest laundry-related issue is getting it done fast, this is the system to purchase. The huge drum combined with the second pedestal washer is a landslide for doing laundry quickly.

Though I’ve already enjoyed the luxury of having the second washer, I know I’ll appreciate it so much more once Sadie makes her arrival soon. I remember how fast dirty laundry piled up when Hadley was a newborn, so I’m really looking forward to utilizing the pedestal washer to do small daily loads of newborn clothes, burp clothes, etc.

The LG pedestal washer is also going to come in handy when Jamie is back from his deployment because I’ll be able to throw his gym clothes that he brings home straight into the wash without wasting water like we used to do when he came home needing specific items washed.

Here’s a close-up of all the possible washer settings. Pretty fancy, huh?! Admittedly I’ve only used the “Normal” and “Bright Whites” settings, but I’m so impressed by my options! This is obviously a very technologically “smart” machine, but I need to spend a bit more time digging through the manual to learn more about the advanced options.

LG TWIN Wash & SideKick PedestalLet’s chat about the dryer! Who knew there could be so many settings for drying your clothes? I like to keep it simple and set on “normal”, which uses a sensor to figure out how long the cycle needs to go. Most of my full loads are done in 30 minutes or less.

IMG_7147Underneath the dryer is a standard storage pedestal which is handy for keeping all of the manuals, spare parts and other items right where I know they should be and easily assessable.

I’m not quite sure how long the average washer and dryer system is supposed to “live”, but we’re hoping to keep this system for a good 10-12 years.

If you’re in the market for a new washer and dryer and are up for a bit of a splurge in the name of efficiency and quality, don’t look any further than the LG TWIN Wash & SideKick Pedestal. I hope this honest LG SideKick review was helpful in making a future washer and dryer purchase.

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
