I’ve had this for a few months now and I’m so impressed with it. It does a great job with estimating the time to dry. It also does a great job with getting loads near dry when that’s what you want. The only disappointment I’ve had is with the Pet Items setting really now doing much to help with hair.
I’ve waited a long time to be able to purchase my set of speed queen. Off the bat I loved the mate black color. The LCD screen is also nice, it’s not outdated with knobs but also I don’t feel it’s over kill on the tech like other appliances where it’s touch screen. They did have some weight to them which let me know they these bad boys were no joke. But that’s what I expected, I want a heavy weight washer/dryer to go the distance not like these other light weights that crap out after hit them with washing my blanket. No sir..
We decided to go ahead and purchase the washer & dryer due to several other brands not lasting for more than a year or 2 (Kenmore, Magtag & Whirlpool). We’ve only had them a couple of months but I LIKE!!
I'm not exactly sure why I spent so much money on this unit with very little performance benefit. It's just like the old cheap LG I got rid of. Takes over 85 minutes to dry 8 towels or 6 jeans. The moisture sensor doesn't seem to work very well either on medium heat set to "dry" Leaving clothes very wet after a complete cycle and having to run another cycle.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I recently purchased a brand new LG W/D and upon hookup, they were already damaged. So my husband and I decided to go the distance and pay the extra cost to purchase the Speed Queen W/D. I am absolutely shocked and amazed at how great the product is. When it comes time to move, they are coming with us!!!
