- This video was requested by user Leena Barbary who requested to see the one towel test on my lg sidekick. I hadn't heard of this test until now, but here's my best guess at what it is!
This is one machine where the one towel test makes sense, since it's such a small machine!
Naturally handled it fine.
That sounded like somebody trying to play a trumpet or saxophone and failing at it at 0:29:54.
@@jeromedavis8575 I know, it does so much..
@@washingandmowing15 I thought whirlpool and GE used the same gear oil when I could smell the transmission when they were running. That direct drive reminded me of my old filter-flow when the gear oil would heat up during operation.
lived long enough to see 2 washing machines in 1 washing machine
Putting the dryer on top of the pedestal is something I’ve never seen a person do before
I like the LG sidekick. It's something different from the other washer videos I've seen
Really does a nice job. Well balanced.
Could the sidekick be used as main washer for single person. With mini dryer on top. I heard you say that it needs weight on top for vibration.
can we just acknowledge the fact that he has a lot of washers
The agitation is better than most of todays full size top loaders ! EXCELLENT !
Mate for a full size top loader you still need an agitator, washplate machines are shit for big loads
Great machine! If you still have it can you do a vid of the sidekick with 6 clothes on normal cycle?
sure thing!
I really wish I had a speed queen hard mount like u do lol. 40lb capacity is nice size. Hopefully u get it hooked up soon so we can see full cycle vids on it
Does the sick kick need it’s own water line or does it get water from the front loader?
It comes with its own cold, hot, and drain hoses. It also comes with a Y connector
very quiet at first.. nice...does it vibrate less when it's spinning with the cover closed and it under the drawer? wondering about the noise level when it's closed? It's nice to see it working with the lid open though. Thanks for the video.
old video but iconic
Can you do the intimates cycle washing a sweater? I am very curious of what agitation it does.
Sure! I should also note, I am yet to find any difference between intimates and hand wash besides intimates defaults to warm water, and hand wash defaults to cold. The wash actions are identical.
@@nhrawashervideos6567 that’s fine! Just do it with default settings to see what it does. I have been curious for so long.
I think you should put the Calypso in place of the Miele once it's sold. If you can find one. Try to get yourself a Maytag Neptune TL or a Fisher&Paykel Aquasmart. That thing has the fastest turnover of an Impeller I have seen. Even faster than the Kenmore Elite Oasis.
The plan at the moment is the calypso will replace the miele, and the speed queen hardmount will replace the LG front loader. The maytag is staying in place, and I'm unsure on the dryer.
update: here's how everything went. LG sold, Miele sold, I still have the direct drive and calypso. Miele was replaced by a stacked LG 24" wide set, with a condenser dryer. Direct drive was replaced by another LG Front load set, but it's the 6700 series. And the original LG was replaced by the speed queen hardmount.
I'm not gonna lie you have so many washers how much washer drainers do you have?
Did a great job!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing 😊
Have you noticed a difference in the spin speeds for the different wash cycles?
We have the front loading washer and the Very High spin speed actually caused decals to come off many of our shirts. I'm curious if this will be easier on our clothes comparatively.
The delicate cycle does have a slower spin for sure. Same with hand wash.
@@nhrawashervideos6567 Are you able to guess the comparative spin speeds on the LG WM4000HWA?
Our clothes actually come out of the front loader very warm to the touch on the Very High spin speed and decals lift off shirts.
@@pureetofu on the wm4000 I believe the top spin speed is 1300rpm. the highest this machine shown can spin is 700 and in delicate I would guess it is closer to 400 rpm.
One thing can you have the LG Sidekick can be use without the regular washer and can be use the drawer
I don't know if anybody asked this question does that remote come with it or can you buy it separate
Hello! Another great channel!
Thank you!
On the LG top loader next to you, I’d like to see if Normal Cycle lets you use Fabric Softener.
It does. It disables turbowash and moves the Rinse from just a spray to a deep fill. It fills more than in the wash!
SAME!
I'd like to see it. I'm still very curious about how whirlpool and GE filter-flo gear oils smell from one another.
When I had my LG front loader I thought about getting one of these.. there are a few loads i do which are perfect size for that machine.. I got rid of my LG and went with a SQ top loader. so now I cant use one of these. sure would be handy though...
I just subscribed to your channel awesome stuff
Thanks!
Is it possible to pause the wash cycle after it fills with water, either by pushing the pause button or opening the lid? I want to know if I can soak stuff if I buy one.
Hello! Yes you can pause the cycle. I believe the washer will drain the water after sitting for 5 minutes though.
Gracias por el video!!!❤
What washers do you have currently? I'd love to see the washer with just water to admire turbulence. I'd like to hear you do a drum roll on the cabinet like you did on the GE filter-flo.
I have this machine, the top loader next to it, 2 calypsos, a catalyst, a speed queen commercial washer, an LG front load, a maytag centennial (whirlpool direct drive), a miele w3033 and another whirlpool direct drive that is in pieces at the moment.
@@nhrawashervideos6567 I'd like to see the inner workings of the whirlpool direct drive. What's the difference between the maytag and original whirlpool? I'd like to see the maytag with the original agitator it came with. I'd also like to hear you tapping on the cabinet with both hands like a drum roll on the maytag.
@@jeromedavis8575 the internals are identical between the two. For a short period the maytag actually had the transmission from the 1999 whirlpool in it. Now it has the factory one again. I also no longer have the original agitator for it as it is in the 1999 whirlpool which I sold back to its original owner
@@nhrawashervideos6567 That's okay. What oil does the transmission use? I like hearing you tapping on the cabinet with both hands.
@@jeromedavis8575 The transmission is universal for every DD, part number 3360629
I suppose LG does a fabulous job.
It does:)
11:41 we don't need to ask, the lid said everything
(I'm talking about how I saw the water travel across the lid)
Have you smelled the whirlpool direct drive and GE filter-flo gear oils? If so, how do the smells compare? Why do they smell the same?
I would say the filter flo oil has more of an odor. If they smell similar I would assume it's just because they are both regular gear oil. However I can instantly tell a filter flo with my eyes closed because of the smell of the oil all around the washer.
@@nhrawashervideos6567 I like the smell of that oil. I wonder how thick both oils are. How would the oil from the whirlpool transmission smell if you ordered a bottle of whirlpool oil or opened up the transmission and compared it to the GE filter-flo oil. BTW, I will forever miss my filter-flo. Best washer I've ever had.
@@jeromedavis8575 The new oil from whirlpool just kinda smells like gear oil. So, it smells like armpits after a night in the woods lol. I would know, I just rebuilt a transmission with fresh oil and all fresh parts
@@nhrawashervideos6567 How does the smell compare to the GE filter-flo gear oil?
@@nhrawashervideos6567 How does the whirlpool gear oil smell compared to the GE filter-flo gear oil?
can you record more vids with this machine?
2 washing machines in 1 before gta6 is insane
Hey, I just got a sidekick, but I can’t find the place to bypass it. Any ideas?
get a good strong magnet, and place it on the Cabinet. feel around the top lip you will feel a rectangle, that's the door sensor. place the magnet over that
@@nhrawashervideos6567 yep, my magnet wasn’t strong enough I got it though, thanks
@washingandmowing15 How do you like your LG sidekick? Also, can you please film it, and post more often in general?
@@maxbubbles6009 it’s amazing I love it but I don’t film and post anymore because I’m losing interest so we will see if I will post again
Can this "sidekick" washing machine work as a standalone unit?
They aren't intended to, but I have seen someone who set one up standalone in a mobile home.
Anyone by chance know (apprx) how much water these pedestal washers use per wash cycle(?)
im.not sure exactly.. I believe around 4 gallons per fill? maybe less? I should test that
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You must have a really big garage 😮
Just a regular 2 car garage. We don't park cars in it though. That's why I have so much room
@@nhrawashervideos6567 ohhhhh
How were you able to get on a top load dryer?
they sell a kit to convert it so they bolt together.
Tv remote to start a washer?
No it has a seperate remote to start and control cycles, although admittedly I've never seen it on any other washer
I wish I could it off balanced the sidekick
I have this and I'm getting display errors that the door is not closed. So even though the door is closed the machine doesn't recognize that. Next step is to inspect the magnet location. Can anyone tell me where to find the magnet?
is it a de1 de2 or de3 code?
d1 and 3 though 2 has popped up also
@@nhrawashervideos6567
i have inspected everything and there is nothing broken. i opened the front panel and the white plastic bar is where it should be, it doesn't move. @@nhrawashervideos6567
Your not supposed to have the mini washer under a dryer
how fast does it spin?
700RPM
I take it as the max speed is 700rpms, pretty fast for such a tiny washer, used to have one, but control panel died after 2 years😢, not as lucky, but yeah.
750RPM, definitely fast but most new top loaders nowadays are 800-1000RPM
🤩
I have the lg wt7700 clean toothpaste blood grass oil tomato but do not put too much put a medium or small load and turn on water plus it will clean better
My matchine get lock how to fixed it 🤧
hello i like you do ta test on the sidekick washer can you do a overload test? on the sidekick washer?
I may. I don't like to overload it as it's pretty hard on it with the drawer out.
can you open it now from liam
put your phone and hand in there
open it
jesus fucking christ that lid is beat up to hell, how come?
I set my laundry baskets on top of it whenever I'm unloading the dryer. The baskets pick up small grit from the ground and over the course of 5 years it ends up like that
Waste of watee
but they are junk
They actually aren't. Had this one for 5 years. No problems and it's never let me down
@@nhrawashervideos6567 Power of LG right here!
junk
I dont know, I kind of like it. I've had it for about 5 years now and it's proven to be very useful and reliable. They are pricey though.
@@nhrawashervideos6567 Power of LG right there!
@@Blurain727 Probably some guy sitting in a cubicle at Whirlpool.... not like they have any actual work to do developing new designs or improving energy efficiency, they just re-paint the same old 62 year old appliances and sell them for $1,200. So they have lots of free time. 😂
@@DylBuilder1 I'm not saying all of their appliances are unfit for purpose, but an alarming number of them are, and they're significantly less likely to put R&D effort into their designs. Take their 29" lint top dryers... Why have they not changed anything about it for 62 years and why do they think it's ok to market it as a "Pet Pro" dryer as if the big honking lint screen was just developed last week specifically to capture pet hair? It wasn't, it doesn't, and it's slimy af to try pawning such ancient shit off as brand new. Lol
@@dregenius the reason why they've been using that design for so many years is that it WORKS. People complain that companies "fix" things that work fine yada yada. That dryer system has worked so well that they haven't stopped using it. In my eyes that is quality, and it's smart.
True but some features are new even if the base is 60+ years old. such as the electronic controls.
A lot of companies do that though. Ford will use the same F150 powertrain, frame, and body for 6+ years and make changes to the grille, headlights, and dashboard just to say it's "new"
