All of this is made even easier with the LG ThinQ app, which allows you to monitor and control the cycles from your phone. As the unit is Wi-Fi enabled, you can easily connect your mobile device and check on your laundry wherever you are - the LG WashTower™ even sends you a text when the load is finished, which can be super handy if you need something urgently. For those instances where you’ve gone to find some uniform or football kit that you urgently need, only to realise it’s not clean, the Turbowash 360 gives your laundry a thorough clean in just 39 minutes and there’s the option to do a quick wash and dry in an hour for small loads.
For those who suffer from allergies, there’s a wash cycle that uses steam to remove up to 99.9% percent of allergens like dust, pet dander and pollen from your clothes. There’s also a Steam Refresh option, which freshens clothes, reducing odour and wrinkles - perfect if you don’t think your clothes need a full wash. Finally, for parents with little ones, there’s a child lock to prevent children from opening the door or stopping your washing mid cycle.

With a unit like this, there is a chance that if one unit has a fault and it needs to be replaced entirely, you would need to replace both machines. However, for maintenance, the washer and dryer each has its own plug. So, if the washer malfunctions, the dryer still works, and vice versa. But, with a five year warranty from LG, you can rest assured that should there be any issue with your LG WashTower™ in that time, you’re covered.
Final verdict: we think the LG WashTower™ could be the perfect solution for busy families who need to save on space and want to be more energy efficient and save money in the long term.
