Love this little washing machine drawer!
I am able to do small loads, my delicates and my yoga wear. An extra hand in the laundry room is the best!

Good little washer for light loads that aren't too dirty. For heavy duty i use my regular washer but when there's a need to be fast and efficient for a few things this is perfect. Helps me stay ahead of laundry for a large family.

This was the 1st LG set I'd gotten through Best Buy and they are wonderful machines...so much quieter than the Samsung we had for years (with technical issues). The delivery service with installation made for a smooth move into our new place. They arrived well within the window and we were doing laundry the day after we moved in. Very happy with our purchase. The mini washer is perfect for my delicates and occasional oops that needs immediate attention. Makes for shorter wash days!

We love this pedestal washer. It is so convenient when we need to run another load simultaneously -- maybe for something that stained unexpectedly and there's already a full load running, or for a different type of cycle (delicates vs. towels, etc.). We did get this on an open box buy, and I don't know if I would have paid full price for it, but we were looking to get pedestals anyway just to make the washer and dryer closer to standing height (to save our backs), and with the washer pedestal it's just great to have the option of running a second smaller load.

I love this little guy. I would never pay full retail value for it, but the sale price was basically a steal. It's great for all those annoying tiny loads that lay around your laundry room until there are enough items to justify washing a 'load'. I put my bras in there without them being smashed in those garment bags and they seem to come out much cleaner. I always thought they were clean before, but now I feel like I can tell a difference. I knew I would use it for delicates, but I'm actually surprised how many other things I use it for. It's almost always running while the big washer is running! Now I just need a tiny dryer too.... #firstworldprobs

I love the fact that I can wash a normal/big load in my front loader and the things I forgot in this mini-washer! When washing I forget things all the time, and they tend to be small things like socks or underwear that I misplaced or dropped along the way to the laundry room. This pedestal washer was made just for that (in my case). Its great, quick and efficient. I purchased while on sale and was been a great decision.

A nice luxury

A convenient luxury (got on sale for under $499 but still not sure if 'worth'). Used maybe 3 times in past month. Convenient to wash work clothes like hospital scrubs (during Covid era separated from other laundry) can do about 3-4 pairs of scrubs and some socks, facemasks or maybe if need favorite clothes just before traveling or few sweaters or special colored items you want to keep separate from rest of wash.
Buttons, modes, functionality similar to main washer. except the auto dispensing of detergent, fabric softner (doesn't have-you have to do manually though has a chime when time for softner). Looks nice/sleek matching main washer. Also gives my main washer height but standard pedstal could do.
Would be nice if had a better way of dispensing liquid laundry detergent rather than directly on dry clothes.
The key thing for me will be how long it lasts. If lasts 20 yrs along with my new LG washer/dryer (just as this item was being delivered I had to replace compressor and other items on my 8+ yr old LG refrigerator) which is how long my previous Kenmore washer lasted and since I can afford the luxury item then well worth the purchase for some utility but mainly decor.
If you have disposable income and you want a fancy look the LG set of washer, dryer, side kick and pedestal is very nice.

Perfect for throwing in my cycling kit or workout clothes for a quick wash. Very convenient, but pricey. We got it because of a promotion that knocked the price in half.

It’s a nifty little gadget that makes life easier but at a hefty price. I use it for undergarments and delicate items. It comes in handy so if you have the means to splurge then it’s well worth it

Love this little giant. I really comes in handy when washing a small amount of items. It's a huge challenge to install. Be sure to get a strong friend to help with the installation.

I love this concept of adding additional washer without needing more space. With a family of 5 this washer comes in handy. It’s also handy because my two oldest children wear uniforms to work and this is the prefect washer for washing uniforms daily. Haven’t owned this machine for long but would recommend warranty based on other reviews I’ve read.

Having a second washer to use for smaller and/ or specialty loads is a huge plus. What makes it even better is that you can run both the Sidekick and the regular washer at the same time ! Very pleased with how well it works and have the ability to do two loads at once !

I think this pedestal washer is the coolest appliance out there. It’s perfect when you have a small load of laundry or if you have delicates that you want to wash separately. It’s also the same height as the dryer storage pedestal, so my washer and dryer are the same height. It’s a little expensive, but well worth the price.

This little SideKick was in the open box area at the Torrance Pacific Sales at a lower price than the pedestal or I probably wouldn't have gotten it as it seemed an extravagance at regular price. (It's on sale now at a great price by the way.)
I wasn't sure how much use it would get, but it has greatly exceeded my expectations. We use it a lot for those extra small loads, mostly for delicates, workout clothes and even silk or wool items. It cleans very well with a teaspoon of liquid detergent. It's easy to select the setting and make adjustments, for example, I always add an extra rinse or two because we have very hard water.
It does require the lid to stay open for awhile after a load even after wiping dry just to make sure the moisture evaporates, that may be a con for some. I like how I can do two loads at once. Overall it's been a useful, pleasant surprise!
The installation team were very familiar with how to install the SideKick with the regular washer on top, so far no problems.

My wife wanted to get the Sidekick and I was like, that's a lot of money. To be honest it was a great purchase. Rather than running the big machine on small loads it can be done with the Sidekick saving water and energy. Extremely quite. No regrets with the purchase.

Great for baby clothes, small loads or dogs towels. We use this a lot with our whites clothes compare to the Main washer due to the fact that when we do Landry we barely have enough to do a big load... saves a lot on water and electricity bill. Plus in case you can do two loads at once... saves a lot of time. Great product... wish they have one for the dryer pedestal as well.

I purchased an all in one washer/dryer. I love it! the wash is very silent and cleans very well. I used the dryer option and the clothes came out a little damp. But, this is okay because I was able to iron the pants dry as well as the blouse. I am still learning the machine and may need to set the dryer for more time. Nonetheless, I love my purchase!

My husband treated me to a new washer/ dryer and i mentioned the SideKick would be nice. Well it's NICE! I absolutely love the convenience of having an extra washer. It's simple to use and very handy. It works great for workout clothes, a small quick load, or your delicates.
