LG WM3555HVA Reviews & Ratings by Customers and Consumer Reports

Designed for space-conscious households that still want premium fabric care, the LG WM3555HVA 24 Inch All-In-One Steam Washer/Dryer is a compact, ventless laundry solution aimed at condo and apartment owners, small families, and secondary-laundry installations where a dedicated dryer or exterior venting isn’t practical. As an appliance specialist, I view this model as a well-engineered “set-it-and-let-it-run” unit that prioritizes convenience, gentle cleaning, and flexible installation over high-throughput laundry days. In real-world use, the all-in-one format is its defining advantage: you can wash and dry in a single drum without transferring loads. That matters most for busy users and for tight laundry closets where stacking or side-by-side placement isn’t possible. The ventless drying system also broadens placement options—useful in many urban U.S. apartments and in Canadian condos where venting can be restrictive. Steam functionality is a meaningful add-on for reducing wrinkles and refreshing lightly worn items, and it can help with allergen and odor management when used appropriately. Capacity is best understood through the lens of compact, combination units. Using IEC-style measurement, this class typically supports a moderate wash load, but drying capacity is effectively smaller than washing capacity. Practically, that means you’ll get the best wash-to-dry results by avoiding overfilling and by expecting to dry smaller loads than you can wash. Cycle times can also run longer than separate washer/dryer setups, especially when you select a full wash-and-dry program—an expected tradeoff for ventless condensation drying and single-drum convenience. From an ownership standpoint, LG’s control layout and cycle logic are generally intuitive, and the machine’s build and door feel align with what I expect from a premium compact platform. Noise and vibration are typically well-managed for a 24-inch unit when properly leveled, making it suitable for installations near living spaces. Limitations are worth noting. This model may not suit buyers who routinely process bulky bedding, large family volumes, or who need rapid back-to-back loads; combination units inherently bottleneck because the drum is occupied for the entire wash-dry sequence. Users should also plan for routine maintenance habits typical of front-load designs (e.g., keeping the door gasket clean and allowing the drum to dry between uses) to support long-term freshness. Verdict: LG’s LG WM3555HVA 24 Inch All-In-One Steam Washer/Dryer is best for urban homes, condos (including many Canadian installations), and anyone prioritizing installation flexibility and single-load convenience. Those with heavy weekly laundry volume or frequent bulky items may be better served by separate, higher-capacity machines.
