For anyone looking to simplify laundry day with less effort, fewer steps, and a lot more efficiency, the LG WashCombo™ All-in-One WM6998HBA introduces a fresh take on home laundry. Instead of two separate machines, this model brings washing and drying together inside one sleek, modern unit, making the entire process seamless from start to finish.
Designed to wash and dry in a single cycle, this combo unit focuses on time-saving performance, AI-driven fabric care, ventless heat pump drying, and a space-conscious 2-in-1 design that can fit nearly anywhere. It blends convenience with advanced technology, helping everyday laundry feel faster and noticeably easier.
Here’s a full breakdown of what stands out in real-life use:
Key Features
The LG WashCombo™ brings together meaningful innovations designed to make laundry more efficient, especially for homes that want performance without sacrificing space.
All-in-One Wash & Dry System
This unit completes a full wash-and-dry cycle in as fast as 2 hours*, eliminating the need to move clothes between machines. Simply load, choose a cycle, and return to fully cleaned and dried laundry.
*Cycle time may vary depending on load type/weight. Based on independent testing in Wash+Dry cycle with Dryer on Energy Saver mode, 10 lb. DOE standard load (October 2023).
Inverter HeatPump™ Drying
Unlike standard combos or traditional vented dryers, the heat pump design uses lower temperatures to dry more efficiently and more gently. It also means no exterior venting is required, ideal for condos, apartments, or unconventional laundry spaces.
LG notes that this system uses up to 60% less energy** per load compared to conventional drying.
**Based on Intertek testing in normal cycle with Dryer on Energy Saver mode (September 2023).
AI Wash & Dry Technology
Built-in sensors analyze fabric type, soil level, load size, and moisture. The unit then automatically adjusts motions, temperatures, and timing for improved cleaning and better fabric protection.
TurboWash™360°
Five multi-directional spray jets deliver a complete clean in under 30 minutes***, even for larger loads, ideal for quick turnaround laundry days.
***Based on independent testing of a comparable model in normal cycle with TurboWash® option, 10 lb. load (October 2023).
Mega 5.0 cu.ft. Capacity
Despite being a single machine, it offers one of the largest capacities available in an all-in-one front load system, big enough for a king-size comforter plus extra items.
Design and Build Quality
The LG WashCombo™ emphasizes modern styling with a refined, premium look that elevates the typical laundry space.
The flat front profile, black steel finish, and tinted tempered glass door create a clean, integrated appearance that works well in contemporary homes. At the same time, the space-saving 2-in-1 layout and ventless configuration mean it can install almost anywhere with a standard 120V plug, no ducting required.
Inside, the stainless steel drum enhances durability over time, while the intuitive LCD knob and touchscreen panel make settings easy to navigate. The layout is streamlined, offering clear cycle descriptions, prompts, status updates, and remaining cycle times right on the display.
Performance and Everyday Use
In daily operation, the WashCombo™ delivers impressive consistency, from cycle flexibility to overall convenience.
The AI-optimized wash motions help ensure strong cleaning performance while caring for fabrics. TurboWash™360° keeps cycle times manageable even for bulkier items, and the heat pump dryer minimizes wear by drying at lower temperatures.
Because the entire cycle runs start-to-finish inside one appliance, the workflow becomes “set it and leave it,” which is a major benefit for busy households. Noise levels remain low, making it suitable for condos, smaller homes, and areas close to living spaces.
One of the biggest advantages is reliability in wash-to-dry transitions, clothes come out fresh, dry, and ready to wear without needing manual intervention between cycles.
Smart Features & Technology
As expected from LG, this model includes a wide suite of connected features:
- ThinQ® App – Start, stop, or monitor cycles remotely; download additional cycles.
- Voice Assistant Compatibility – Works with Google Assistant and Alexa.
- Smart Diagnosis™ – Helps identify issues quickly without waiting for service.
- ThinQ Care – Sends usage, maintenance, and diagnostic alerts.
- ThinQ UP – Software updates provide new features over time.
For added convenience, the ezDispense® Automatic Dispenser stores detergent and softener for 18–31 wash cycles (Number of cycles may vary depending on load size) before needing a refill. The system automatically releases the correct amount based on load size, and smartphone alerts notify you when it's time to top up.
The new ezLintFilter system makes post-cycle lint removal easier, just push the filter out from the top compartment, and lint can be discarded directly without handling.
The unit also includes an LG Condenser Filter for added drying performance.
Energy Efficiency
The heat pump system is central to this washer’s efficiency benefits. By drying at lower temperatures and recirculating heat, it uses significantly less energy while still delivering consistent results.
AI wash optimization, moisture sensors, and efficient temperature control further support lower utility consumption. For homes seeking a more sustainable laundry routine, or ones with electrical limitations, this all-in-one design is an excellent match.
