Should I buy the LG WashTower or separate washer and dryer?

Choosing between the LG WashTower and separate washer and dryer mostly comes down to space, accessibility, budget, and flexibility.

• Choose the LG WashTower if you want a tidy all-in-one stack with the controls placed in the middle, which makes the dryer controls easier to reach than on a traditional stacked setup. It is also a good choice if you want a purpose-built stacked design that takes up less width than side-by-side machines.
• Choose separate washer and dryer if you want more long-term flexibility. You can usually place them side-by-side or stack them with the right kit, and if one appliance fails later, you can replace just that unit.

One important note: the WashTower is designed as a single, unified unit, so you generally can’t separate it into two freestanding appliances.

Also, measure carefully before buying. Exact dimensions vary by model, and the WashTower can be slightly shorter than some separate stacked washer-and-dryer combinations, but fit still depends on your closet depth, doorway widths, and required rear clearance for vents, hoses, and installation.
