There was a delay in delivery from LG, not from Home Depot. But after an extra 4 days we have them installed and they are REALLY NICE.
We had a top of the line Maytag Super capacity top loader, which was 6 years old, tops. The difference between that and this LG is like night and day!! I didn't realize how LOUD our old washer was until I heard how quiet this thing is. I can't believe the difference!
The capacity of the base LG may be slightly smaller than our previous washer, but HUGE is slightly smaller than enormous. This is hardly a base washer. each wash can have 25+ different setting and extra washes. I cant believe anyone would want more washing options with the higher up LG models, as this one can do anything!
Also, the amount of water used was unbelievable! Instead of the gallons and gallons filling the top loader tub, this thing squirted a few drops and washed things very nicely.
My wife was right. Front loading washers are the way to go! LG has done a really nice job with this one!
Cheers all..
My wife is ecstatic with these front load washers, and so am I, as I think we ended up with a stacked combo that ended up being better than the Whirlpool Duets, and almost $1000 cheaper too.

$1084 For a great washer/dryer.
From Consumer Reports (Quick reccommendations): For best washer performance at a high price: 31 Kenmore (Sears), $1100 32, 33 LG, $700-$1030 34 Whirlpool, $1000
Capacious and quiet, these front-loaders were frugal with energy and water. The LG WM1814C[W] (32) isn't as large as the others but still holds a decent-sized load, and it costs hundreds less.
Dryer Comments: Spacious and quiet, this dryer did very well in our drying tests. The drum is large enough to handle bulky items such as comforters. Gas equivalent: DL-G2524
For some reason, all women want a front load washer and dryer these days.. So if your wife is hassling you for one. This deal is tough to beat.

Also, you'll end up spending $1184 (not $1084 as stated in your post) and then you'll receive a $100 Home Depot gift card. But, you still have to spend $1184 (plus tax) after rebates.
poor title and deal is nothing great. not all rebates area available to everyone so very YMMV. front loaders are priced at a premium because they are sylish.
over $1,000 for a washer dryer combo....
you could have bought a basic washer dryer for about $500 (Half the price). how long is it gonna take you to save $500 worth of water. one trick with conventional washers is to extend the spin cycle to wring out as much water as possible before drying. also hang dry as much as possible (FREE !!!!!)
Holy smoke! I'm trying to help out. If your in the market for a front load washer, it's a great deal. Except for runningman, all you people do is complain?..
Thanks for the "sense of community". Next time, I'll keep my mouth shut and keep it to myself.

There are always some complainers, don't worry about them. For those who are in the market for a set such as you describe, this is a great deal.
Just remember, a lot of FWers are here to buy stuff because they are cheap, not because they actually need them.
Don't fret. You posted a good deal that many would be happy to get. We have had our LG front loading washer for a year now and anyone who says they aren't worth the cost needs to run the numbers. And then realize what those numbers actually mean.
Anyway, enjoy your new set! If you have any questions, PM me.
There is a lot more to front loaders than just "stylish", My LG front loader only uses a third of the electricity my old energy efficient maytag top loader did. But the big diff is they clean like crazy and they don't wear the cloths down. I can also wash big blankets and quilts and comforters, featherbeds, pillows and anything that will fit in it! I will never have a top loader again. But before you get one, study all about them and read plenty of the forums with a google search.
Besides the water- electricity- soap- savings, a HUGE savings is found in the number of washes the clothing lasts. The front loaders are reputed to see that your clothes last much, much longer than clothes handled in agitation-based washers.
This is a great post for a difficult product to get at a discount.
Do you know if you have to use special soaps with this washer? Or have the manufacturers stopped insisting that's necessary. I use some hippie stuff from the health food store which I really like, but they don't make a "High Efficiency" version it.
Also, great post. I have the high end set and absolutely love it! They make great appliances, speaking from experience for over a year. I'll never buy another brand. They are the best and extremely quiet...can't even really hear them going.
if you live in CT< check the waterbury store front end by the cashiers, they always have deals on appliances, they take off at least $200 on floor models, the other day they took $500 off $1100 oven.
Thanks for posting this! My washing machine is about to bite the dust, it been making horrible noises lately. I've been waiting for a good deal on a front loader. I really wanted a front loader, but the last time I went looking, it was going to be like $2300 for the Duets set. I'll go looking at this set tomorrow. That is an excellent deal.
This is a really good deal. I'm in the market for a washer / dryer and this is a great price for LG at this size. I was going to get the 3.5 cu/ft washer because these larger capacity machines were a bit out of my "justifiable" price range... I'll be heading to HD this week to pick them up.
The LG sets are amazing. tThe high end LG sets blow the Duets out of the water for a lot less money. Everyone note this is the lowest end LG front load set. They are a little smaller capacity than the higher end. I have sold LG appliances for 3 years now and I would get the higher end sets. And as for the "soap savings" someone mentioned, you should be using the HE detergent with these. Some will tell you you can use regular detergent, just half as much or whatever. HE detergent is formulated to be better with less water. It will clean better and NOT SUDS UP. Your regular detergent will suds up, ESPECIALLY if you accidentally use too much. The water pumps are designed to pump water and NOT foam so it will last longer too.
