Companion Washer - WM4270HVA Review |
Dryer Pros and Cons | ||
Drying | Generates steam to quickly refresh lightly soiled clothes without washing. The refresh cycle can reduce wrinkles, remove odors, and/or sanitize clothes. Nearly eliminates the need to iron. | ✔ |
Cycles | Number of cycles and options is 57% higher than average and ranks in the top 10% of new dryers for BEST program selection and flexibility. More cycles helps you tailor drying to your family's needs. | ✔ |
Drum | Designed with a stainless steel dryer drum that is more durable than porcelain or plastic. Stainless steel resists odor absorption or discoloration and reduces the amount of static build-up in your clothing. | ✔ |
Capacity | The DLEX4270V capacity is 3% higher than average and ranks in the top 45% of new larger size dryers. Holds about 0.2 cu ft more laundry than the average new dryer. Laundry can be done less often. | ✔ |
Sensor | Uses a moisture sensor to measure the water content of clothing as it tumbles, and automatically shuts-off the cycle when dry. Prevents clothing from being damaged by overheating and saves on energy costs. | ✔ |
Price | Price per cubic foot of capacity is about average for a new clothes dryer and is rated GOOD for affordability. Dryers can often be purchased on-sale at 10%-20% under the manufacturer's MSRP. |

Performance Ratings | ||
Temp Settings |
5 Settings - Provides an ample number of temperature settings to select from. It's important to match the heat level to the type of fabric being laundered; helps prevent damage and alleviate wrinkles. | ✔ |
Steam Cycle |
Steam Drying - If you're in a hurry and just need to get the wrinkles out of your clothes, or freshen-up lightly soiled garments, the steam generation cycle on this model will prove to be very handy. | ✔ |
Sanitize Cycle |
Sanitize Cycle - Sanitizes items with a high temperature cycle that kills many forms of household bacteria or allergens. Especially useful for freshing up stuffed animals, pillows, and other non-washable items. | ✔ |
MSRP | $1199 - Manufacturer's Price is about average for a new dryer and is rated GOOD for overall price. In addition to the LG DLEX4270V MSRP, it's also beneficial to check the price per cubic foot. | |
Warranty | LG 1-Year Parts, 1-Year Labor - Industry standard warranty for clothes dryers. A few manufacturers sometimes offer a longer warranty on parts if you register the dryer with them. | ✔ |
Convenience Ratings | ||
Stackable | Stackable - Like most new front-load matching dryers, this model can be stacked vertically with a washer to save space, and allows one unit to be accessed comfortably at shoulder level. Great for small rooms. | ✔ |
Reverse Door |
Reversible Door - The LG DLEX4270V dryer door is flexible and can be switched to open from right-to-left (with a washer sitting on the right side), or left-to-right (with a washer sitting on the left side). | ✔ |
Drum Light |
Drum Light - Includes an internal light that automatically switches on when the dryer door opens. Almost all new dryers come equipped with this nearly essential feature so you can see to unload your clothes. | ✔ |
Filter Indicator |
Filter Indicator - Provides a visual cue that the DLEX4270V lint filter needs to be cleaned. Helps you keep the dryer clean and ensure that the proper airflow is maintained. Most of us need to be reminded. | ✔ |
Dryer Rack |
No Dryer Rack - Does not include a dryer rack that allows tumble-free drying for items such as tennis shoes, ball caps, sweaters, or stuffed animals. Dryer racks can usually be purchased separately. | |
Venting | Must Be Vented - Over 95% of new dryer models must be vented to the outside of your home with a duct running from your dryer. A few ventless models are available if an outside duct is not practical. |
Control Ratings | ||
Display | LED Display - Just look at the dryer while you're working to see how much time is left before the clothes are finished. Includes a remaining cycle time display that provides time and sometimes program status. | ✔ |
Controls | Rotary-Electronic - Designed with a modern digital control system that makes cycle or option selection easy and convenient. About 85% of new dryers are now fitted with highly-functional electronic controls. | ✔ |
Delay Start |
Delay Start - Fit the laundry around your busy schedule by programming the dryer to start at a later, more convenient time. Allows you to plan around noise concerns or home departure / arrival times. | ✔ |
Custom Cycle |
Custom Cycle - Allows you to program a custom cycle with specific options and temperature settings that you use the most. No need to select everything over and over, just push the My Cycle button. | ✔ |
Phone Diagnosis |
Phone Troubleshooting - Dryer problems or maintenance needs can be diagnosed via a phone connection with one of the manufacture's repair centers. Reduces the need to call-out a repairman to see what's wrong. | ✔ |
Smart Grid |
Not Smart-Grid Capable - Cannot be hooked into the present or future local utility smart-grid and programmed to operate when utility rates are lower. Most new dryers are still not smart-grid capable. |
