A True Convenience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] REVIEW OF LG STYLER
Bottom Line – The Styler is only moderately difficult to install and set up. It is easy to operate and performs its functions very well.
Bottom Line – The Styler is only moderately difficult to install and set up. It is easy to operate and performs its functions very well.
Installation – First off, I am a decrepit 80-year-old male with mechanical savvy. My wife is a small, but fearless, woman whose age will not be revealed. I consider us to be below average in appliance installation capability. We had studied the Styler’s dimensions before delivery and decided to place it in our bedroom on a carpeted floor.
The Styler arrived last Tuesday and was set in our bedroom. It came in a box about 6 ½ feet tall weighing approximately 200 pounds. I called some younger friends to help with the installation but all were otherwise occupied. At this point, my wife decided that she urgently needed a manicure and left me alone with the box.
I would have avoided much trepidation if I had completely read the Styler’s User’s Manual on-line before proceeding. I cut two straps that held the top of the box to its base. I walked around the box and found a dotted “cut here” line. I cut there and with a few more well-chosen snips and hacks was able to remove the top and sides of the box and the more than adequate padding material. By the time my wife arrived home, the Styler was mostly un-cased and standing on a Styrofoam and cardboard base. My wife tugged on the base while I tilted the Styler in various directions and with a few seconds. At this point, I discovered that there were wheels at the rear of the Styler and it was easily positioned into place.
Leveling was quite easy after I discovered a handy tool – a one foot piece of 2 x 4. I would tilt the Styler slightly, prop the raised side on the 2 x 4, install the rear leveler, and extend the front and rear levelers about the same amount. I then did the same for the other side. With the 2 x 4 removed, I could reach the bottom of each leveler and adjusted them until the Styler was steady and level. I then propped each side in turn on the 2 x 4, tightened the lock nuts, end installed the carpet spikes. I then removed all protective plastic film, plugged the Styler in, and to my surprise, lights lit and there was no smoke.

I then removed all protective plastic film, plugged the Styler in, and to my surprise, lights lit and there was no smoke.
Operation – I filled the water container and hung a clean but wrinkled suit in the Styler. I selected the Normal Refresh cycle, waited until the cycle completed and removed a much better-looking suit. Since that time, my wife and I have refreshed several items of clothing and used the Gentle Dry cycle. All worked flawlessly with excellent results. We are pleased with the Styler, and we are not easily pleased.
Value – I believe that the Styler will save us money on dry cleaning, will save us labor on pressing clothes, will save us time on hang-dry items, and will keep our clothes looking better. I think that the Styler is a useful convenience rather than a necessity. This is the same way I felt 55 years ago when we transitioned from a clothesline to a clothes dryer.
Pros: Performance, Quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

If only it was a little wider!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the Styler for a couple of weeks and really enjoy using it! We have the white styer and I like the "linen texture" look of the front door that keeps it from looking like a skinny refrigerator! The touch controls that light up on the door are also really neat. LG always makes stylish appliances .
But the convenience is what you want this for. It doesn't wash clothes- the manual warns not to put dirty clothes in so don't expect that- but it does remove wrinkles and freshen clothes and is able to sanitize!
My LG washer has a steam feature, but I couldn't sanitize a pillow in it or give my husbands pants a crease. Using the "shelf" in my dryer, sometimes the arms would dangle from my sweaters and hit the revolving tub. While we primarily have used and intend to use this for my husband's dress pants and shirts (just hang them up when he gets home and press start), I am loving the options to steam baby blankets, stuffed animals, scarves etc...
This comes with two coat hangers and a pants hanger. Plus the shelf, which can only be used if the coats are not too long. Average cucle length is just under an hour.
For our dress clothes, we can't entirely avoid the dry cleaner, but we can certainly lessen the need.
This is super easy to use! The water tanks are very easy to remove and replace. All you need is to fill one side with tap water occasionally.
We have opted to keep this in our master bedroom to make it convenient to put clothes in and then hang them in the closet.
Overall I am very satisfied with the product, but I would like to change two things: one, my apple phone won't download a custom program. Two, the narrowness of the appliance. You can only hang pants as wide as the front door. So, larger sizes will have trouble. Average size pants (36) fit, but may bunch a little. I think this eliminates the usefulness of that for many people. Also, there is a limit to the pant length as well.
For the cost of this luxury appliance, I would really have loved just a tad more space, especially with the longer cycle times. This can basically handle one persons outfit at a time.

Great Engineering
on June 20, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So today marks a new appliance adventure at the Caporale household. To some that may sound trite, even ridiculous, but hey, we love appliances and gadgets.
Today was delivery day and while getting it into the laundry room wasn’t without some damage to the counter, all’s well that ends well.
Reading through the manual to ensure that I wasn’t missing any important installation or setup steps I quickly discovered the engineers at LG again haven’t missed a thing, from the rear corner protectors to the hinge hider tabs to the internal hanger storage, cleverly designed interior and space-age looking front control panel, the Styler has not only fit into our laundry room, but aesthetically upgraded it to a level I had previously not contemplated. The engineering inside, outside and in the packaging are impressive, to say the least.
While I have to admit I was lax in not installing an outlet, alas for the time being we’ll have to use an extension cord because time is not allowing me to get to that project right now. That aside, the installation and setup was a breeze with the unit being perfectly level right out of the box. Filling the water canister is child’s play. Installing the shelf, simple. The minimalist, high tech control display is clear, concise and to the point. (Unfortunately, being an iPhone household, the Special Care modes are outside of our reach as they’re only available on Android SmartPhones, and my Styler model does not have WiFi.)
The first trial was to refresh a towel just to get a feel for how it works. As that cycle was running my wife searched out fabrics and garments to test and has quickly become excited at the thought of no longer having to lay certain things on the laundry counter to dry, of being able to treat and unwrinkle fabrics for her quilting, of being able to wash the dog’s toys and being able to dry and freshen them in the Styler. We’re even anxiously awaiting a visit from our son knowing in the back of his car will be a number of exceptionally stinky pieces of hockey gear that we’ve never been able to destench…
Subsequent trials included two sportscoats, a shirt and a pair of slacks, some of which I wore Monday and got a little damp scooting in and out of the rain. Photos attest to the amazing job the Styler did removing the wrinkles from the coat and shirt that were a little damp and very wrinkled. Admittedly I didn’t do the slacks correctly but the next time I will now that I know how to load them. We have also learned that clothes that are slightly damp dewrinkle better than completely dry garments as a second wrinkled sportscoat that only saw minimal improvement can attest to.
One mild criticism…while I daily curse our dryer for its obnoxious notifications that a cycle is complete, it would be nice if the Styler would at least show “COMPLETE” on the display rather than simply turning off after playing a 15 second tune.
Who knew a device like the Styler would be found so useful, or even perhaps necessary… All in all, we’re both impressed with the functionality and performance of the Styler, not to mention the great design. Bring on that stinky hockey gear Chris!

Great additon to any laundry room

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed the Styler more then I thought I would. I now find myself looking for things that I can clean and sanitize in the Styler. I like that it doesn't need a water hook up, this makes it convenient and you can put it anywhere that it is needed. The two benefits in the Styler that I have used the most are the App and pants care system.
The App has pros and cons. Pro- It has extra cycles that you can download, I really like the sports equipment cycle, it worked well an took the stink out of athletic braces. The app also keeps track of the cycles you use the most and the last cycle. Con- You need to be right next to the machine to "tag" you phone. This is a negative for me because our Styler is in the basement next to our laundry so the WIFI and cell service isn't great so it sometimes takes several tries to get the app
to connect.
The pants care System also has pro and cons. Pro- Works well, I don't really like to iron so this saves me that step on my husband dress pants. Con- There is a size limit on the pants that the manual recommends, my husband wears a size or two bigger but overall it still made the pants look freshly laundered.
Overall the LG Styler has been a great addition to my laundry. It has the add ability of steaming out the wrinkles, sanitizing, and taking the smells out which is great.

Great appliance easy to use, and looks great too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received our LG Styler a week ago, it was vary easy to setup and use. It doesn't require a water line, just fill the tank and your ready to go. You can add a dryer sheet to unit and the items come out with a nice fresh scent. We have tried it on a variety of items (dress shirts, dress pants, blouses, suit coat, sweaters, stuffed animals, pillows, etc.). The setup in the door for putting a crease in pants works great on dress pants and Levis jeans, it hard to good crease in the jeans after they are washed but this did the trick. This will save us a bunch of money, not having to use the dry cleaner.
The wife and I both smoke and we have a dog and putting the clothes through the sanitized cycle removed any odor. We put the grand kids stuffed animals in and they came out smelling great and the sanitizer is a plus. We look forward to trying this on different items as time goes on.
Pros: easy to use, easy to preplan for the next day, looks great.

Refreshing and Style!
on June 27, 2017
Posted by: ChrisnRobo
from Los Angeles, CA, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LG Styler was delivered exactly one week ago today. I love it! Great for a quick refreshing of clothes for the next day! I work in an office environment with business casual attire. I simply pick out my outfit the night before, hang my dress shirt with the provided hangers, use the pant press for my kahkis, and hit start. The LG Styler is located inside my bedroom and once started, you can barely hear the hum as it's steam freshens my cloths. Next day, fresh smelling, wrinkle free outfit for the day! It's great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got my Styler and it works great. I have used itnto refresh a suit and to take wrinkles out of dress shirts. The suit feels and smells fresh and shirts I always have to iron are ready to wear right out of the styler. Also love how it presses my slacks, they come out looking great and ready to head into the office.
Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality, easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the White color Styler a few months ago and I am so happy that it performs as LG advertised and it is very easy to use. Also, we saved a good amount of dry-cleaning expenses.
