manual steam is NOT worth hundreds of dollars more,
May 4, 2009
"unfortunately, the description does not indicate HOW the steam is brought into the dryer. in this case, the dryer has a small tub that must be MANUALLY filled with water in order to use a steam option. similar to filling an iron with water.
no wonder this was the cheapest of the steam dryers! more costly models hook-up directly to the cold water hose and water is brought in automatically as-needed.
the dryer works fine... but i paid a few hundred more dollars and still have to worry about filling water. i could've spent alot less money on a non-steam dryer, then bought a spray bottle for less than $1 and manually sprayed the clothes myself!"

Love Love Love The Steam Washer and Dryer,
July 12, 2008
"We have had the LG Steam Washer and Dryer now for a month. We originally looked at the most expensive Steam set that comes in blue but realized we didn't need all the extras. I wasn't crazy about white, but decided to choose function over form and it's ridiculous how much I love the set. Thanks to the Steam Dryer I put my iron in the closet. It works great on dress clothes and jeans, even the ones that have been wadded in a laundry basket for some time. The 20 minute steamfresh cycle takes the wrinkles out, but I do recommend doing a 5-7 minute cycle on low afterwards because the clothes will be damp from the steam. The manual recommends hanging them, but it's faster to use a cycle. I usually use the pre-set cycles but have used the speed dry function as well. I am so happy with this set. We had a 10 year old top load set before and I am amazed at how dry clothes are with the LG Steamwasher, which cuts down on dry time. I absolutely recommend this set. It's worh every penny. I also recommend the pedestals. I am 5-2 and with the pedestals the doors are directly in front of me so I don't have to bend down at all to put clothes in and out. We store detergent and dryer sheets in the pedestals and it saves space. Again, love, love, love this set!"

I am very happy with this product.,
March 28, 2008
"My husband and I bought this dryer to match the LG washing machine WM2487HWMA. What attracted us to it was the steam option. It truly works. It's nice when your clothes are a little rumpled and you just don't feel like ironing (who does?). They smell so nice and they are not spotty which can happen with a hand held steamer. The chime is very pleasant as opposed to the traditional beep or buzzer on a regular dryer. I didn't stack my LG's but I plan to do so in the future when we move to another place or I may buy the pedestals. The controls are clear and easy to read without my glasses. I'm glad we bought this dryer. We just installed it yesterday and I have done six loads. I haven't had to put anything back in to dry some more, everything has been dried just perfectly and not overly done either. I'm impressed. I hope that it holds up for a very long time at this price."
