If you’re anything like me—juggling work, social life, and the never-ending list of adult tasks—you know how crucial it is to have home appliances that make chores easier. Enter the LG Objet WashTower, the newest washer-dryer combo that’s a must-have for anyone who wants to modernize their home in style.

An appliance, but also… art?

Let’s talk about how it looks. The LG Objet WashTower sports a two-tone body design with tempered glass doors and a sleek matte finish. It seamlessly blends into your home, whether indoors or outdoors. The vertical, space-saving design is a plus. It’s great for those living with limited space, or those who just want a bit more elbow room in their laundry area. Plus, I must admit, having a dryer at eye-level is also a back-saver.

Don’t let its looks fool you. The WashTower may look like it sacrificed some performance for a sexier exterior, but it can hold a 14kg/10kg weight load for the washer and dryer, respectively. 

Shhh, it’s giving a quiet roll

Now, I was initially skeptical about LG’s Inverter Direct Drive Motor technology. It is, as LG claims, quiet. So quiet that it’s as if the washing machine wasn’t doing its job. 

I’m happy to have been wrong in my assumption of this. Indeed, I actually found the WashTower to have considerably less noise than traditional washing machines; and where there is less noise, there is more peace. The motor, which is directly connected to the drum to reduce vibrations, also comes with a 10-year warranty. 

Arguably the most important feature that I was excited to test was the WashTower’s Allergy Care Program, which LG says uses steam to remove 99.9% of allergens (e.g. dust and pet hair). So far, I have been pleasantly surprised at the results of the washer’s exceptional performance in this area, with my clothes—some of them I will even claim to be magnets of my furbaby’s hair—have been cleaned to the point where I’ve yet to experience another heavy bout with hay fever. Given that the rainy season is upon us, this feature is definitely helpful, especially for those with chronic allergies, or for families with pets.  

You wash hard… but do you wash smart?

I’m quite the forgetful person, with the one redeeming factor that I always have my phone with me, and it is always connected to the internet. Thankfully, that can now be put to good use with the LG ThinQ Smart Home Platform that lets me control my WashTower from my phone. 

This feature can potentially let you say goodbye to the headaches of leaving the house for a brunch with friends and realizing that you haven’t started your laundry cycle, since LG’s devices can do the ThinQ-ing for you while you’re out. Just remember to have your WashTower stored in your account, and make sure it’s running and connected to the internet to ensure that you are in complete control of your washer and dryer.

Another feature that I believe most people would enjoy is the ThinQ app’s versatile customization for washer settings that go beyond the standard six preset wash programs. Although the WashTower itself can handle anything from cotton to delicates, the app allows you to make your washing experience your own by downloading additional settings (that some may even be tailor-fit to your needs). 

Clean. And fast!

The 6 Motion Technology is all about giving your clothes the TLC they deserve. Mimicking hand-washing techniques with six different motions, this feature ensures your clothes get a thorough clean while being mindful of the different types of fabrics. No need to worry about your clothes—whether they’re silk, denim, corduroy, or cotton, everything comes out clean and damage-free.

Now, if you’ve ever been invited somewhere and you realize the dress you need is still in the laundry basket, fret not. That’s where LG’s TurboWash feature comes to the rescue. It uses powerful jets to cut wash times by up to 30 minutes without sacrificing cleaning power. Say goodbye to second-choice ‘fits!

Speed says

So, is the LG Objet WashTower worth it? Absolutely. It’s stylish, efficient, and packed with smart features that make laundry days faster and less burdensome. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent juggling a million things, or just someone who appreciates top-notch appliances, this WashTower is a great choice to consider adding to your arsenal.
