Laundry in the McClelland household is something I actually look forward to doing! Yes, you heard me correctly. I never get overwhelmed or annoyed with laundry. And believe me, I am the laundress in the McClelland house! Even with 5 kids, laundry doesn’t phase me… it’s just all about having the right “tools” to get the job done.
Last week on the blog I introduced you to the LG SideKick™!
It is for me, a laundry lifesaver.
If you take a quick look at my laundry needs, you’ll understand why this is a laundry lifesaver to me.
My 4 sons are competitive swimmers, so (at least) 5 nights a week I’m washing bathing suits. Bathing suits need to be carefully washed because you don’t want to ruin the material.
Let me toss in baseball uniforms for the boys, too!
My daughter is being potty trained right now, so that’s a whole different laundry need. Her clothing is so small and delicate, so I’m always aware of how I wash her items.
I workout 4-5 times a week and I always like to wash my workout/fitness clothing separately from the other laundry because it’s just different material. I like to wash it on it’s own active-wear cycle!
Then there’s the true delicate clothing – otherwise known as – intimates. These items I always pop in a separate cycle, too.
Here’s the thing about the laundry above, they’re all small loads. In every other aspect of my laundry life – towels, sheets, boys clothing, my husband’s clothing, my “regular” clothing, blankets, etc… laundry is serious business. I’m always running something in my house, which makes laundry a true around-the-clock activity.
But when it comes to the small loads, I need my LG SideKick.
The LG SideKick is compatible with all LG front-load washers since 2009. My front-loader still takes care of the big laundry loads, while now my LG SideKick takes on the smaller ones. The LG SideKick features 6 distinct cycles – normal, intimates, hand wash, active wear, Rinse + Spin and TurboWash – they all have a unique combination of wash motions, water temperature, rinse cycles and rinse speeds. It’s awesome to have on hand at home with my laundry because it helps me get the job done that I need quickly and efficiently.
AND! I can run 2 loads at once, a small and a large! It’s laundry washing at the next level! Don’t be put off by the fact that the loads are on the smaller side, they might be small loads, but the LG SideKick is amazingly effective. Just for reference, the LG SideKick holds 3-4 pounds of laundry, that’s 15 underpants, 9 bras, 4 slips and one pair of pajama pants.
Honestly, my favorite features include being able to do 2 loads at once and not having to wait for laundry to pile up to wash small loads. I can wash the swimming towels in my main front-load washer and the bathing suits in my LG SideKick at the same time! It’s saving me time and I love that as a busy mom.
Now is the time to check out the LG SideKick because there’s a deal going on right now!!
Are you ready for this??
Through July 13, you can purchase an LG front-load washer and LG SideKick bundle for $999! This washing system is tremendous, you will not be disappointed!

I would love to own one because I love the idea of being able to wash a very small load, and be able to wash two loads at the same time: efficient and convenient and saves on space. Thanks for the chance 🙂
OMG! What a fantastic giveaway! I would lurve to win one of these as there are always small little loads that need to be done! It would truly simplify my double identify as Ye Olde Laundry Woman! 🙂 <3
How cute and convenient is that! Perfect for small loads! Thank you!
I do 2 loads of laundry EVERYDAY & a new baby on the way. I need all the extra help
I’d love to win one because I am using an extremely old washer– I can hear its last heartbeats even as I am typing. It’s in the garage because I just know the transmission is about to go.
I’d love to own LG Sidekick because I know how reliable LG products are and anything that makes doing laundry less of a chore is always welcome!
Great giveaway! Would be extremely helpful for doing all the laundry my family has daily! Six kids – 5 still living at home and 3 are under 6 yrs old!
So awesome!! Would love to win one!!!
I would love this to separate my work shirts form other clothes.
I think this is amazing and a wonderful concept from LG. Between 3 kids and a husband, I am constantly doing laundry. The Sidekick would make doing laundry a little easier, and faster.
I would love to win a LG sidekick because it’s just my wife and I, and it takes FOREVER to get a full load of laundry. At least with the sidekick we could do a small load here and there to get the things we need washed more often!
We need the LG sidekick because often times I need something washed ASAP and can’t wait around for a full load. Sports bras, socks, underwear, gym clothes, swimsuits etcneed to be washed ASAP before the get the FUNK and often times we just don’t have enough clothes dirty to make a full load so we end up wasting water on a partial load.
id like to win cause my washer is old and to have a neat washing machine with all the features this one offers and lg is an a brand known for relabilty
Working on expanding our family so I expect lots of unexpected extra laundry in our future:)
This will be very helpful & will make my laundry a lot easier.
My daughter is potty training right now too and we are washing a ton of small loads each day. I’d also love to be able to run two loads at once when the family has different things going on- or we are just in a hurry to get laundry done.
Wow, amazing family and with a big family like yours. I sure need need a washer to keep my four girls clothed clean and one more baby on the way. My hubby works in construction as well and its so frustrating washing clothes every week just to avoid keeping dirty clothes with mud and cement. I would love the washer for my family because it will help me from going once every week to a laundry mat to avoid having lots of clothes at home. I will definitely save time and money.
I would love to have this amazing washer! The LG Brand is a trusted name and my washing machine is “ancient” and it’s way past time for an upgrade!
I’d love to own LG Sidekick because I can wash my workout clothes such as my sports bras separate from my other laundry. I run every day so I go through a lot of workout clothes!
love that you can do two different washes at the same time
This would make my life so must easier doing me and my family laundry.
What an absolutely amazing product. This would be such a dream come true. My sweet Nana passed away in May and the washer and dryer we have is so old.. probably like 15 years old. I am in nursing school and I work at a hospital so I wash so many scrubs/ school clothes. This would be such a blessing!
I would love to own an LG SideKick to making doing laundry a little bit easier. I need all of the help that I can get!
The LG Sidekick would be perfect for those days when my thrifty trips yield just one blouse or pair of jeans. I hate running my regular machine for just one item, but I’m also a firm believer in washing an item as soon as I bring it home. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I’d love to own an LG Sidekick because it would make washing my yoga and workout clothes so much easier!
I would love a newer, high tech washer like this. Mine is basic and older.
id love to win this for my daughter and her family,,she has 4 kids 2 biologial and 2 toddlers they got custody of an are adopting,,she and her husband both work in law enforcement and work long hours they need a new washer so badly to keep up with the kids laundry and their sheriff uniforms
Are you kidding me you love it? I have one child and I still hate doing it. I will drag it out until I absolutely have nothing left to wear. Can I hire you!?
You make me so proud to be a Mom of 5!
Having 4 kids, it seems like we are always doing laundry! I currently have an old LG washer and have loved it for many many years! It has been super reliable! It is on its last leg though and im not looking forward to trips to the laundry mat with 4 kids lol. We are currently saving up for a new set. LG will definitely be a brand I will purchase in the future! Tysm for the chance!!
Our white loads are always tiny and this looks like a great solution.
It would cut back my laundry by 1/2.
What an awesome giveaway! I, too, am the queen of laundry at my house. Two loads at once is better than finding Prince Charming. ?
With 3 sports-playing boys, I so would love one of these!
I need all the extra help!
Being by myself and having some of the same issues you mentioned, sports clothes, quick load to prepare for the weekend. This would be great!
Washing 2 loads at once is genius! I’d love that feature. Thanks!
With 3 boys this would be amazing!
This is so cool! I wish my machine had a feature just like this one!
We do so much laundry right now.. with this LG Sidekick we would save so much time and energy and money.
I so need this! Potty training and kids activities galore!
I would to win the LG Sidekick. We have 4 kids so lots of laundry. Our youngest is an infant and it would be great to be able to wash her small amount of clothes separately.
I have never seen this or have heard of it. What a brilliant idea and such a time saver!! I don’t mind doing laundry itself it is putting it away that I hate. They need to invent something for that now, LOL!
We need a new one badly…ours right now is about as old as I am and running down. Thanks for the chance!
I would love for the time it takes me to do laundry to be cut in half or thirds or whatever.
I would love to win this beautiful washer for my daughter who spends most of her days carpooling her two older children and chasing around her two younger children. Laundry is a full time job in her household!!! This beautiful washer washer would definitely be a welcome addition to this busy household!!!!
I would like this because it would be very convenient and easy.
Wow!!! I love that. As a mom of 5 kids I too have round the clock laundry haha this sounds heavenly!
We need a new washer! I love that you can do 2 loads at one time! Between the hubby and kids, there is always a load to be done.
An LG Sidekick looks like a great addition for any home, love it!
This looks like a real lifesaver!!
You so had me on two loads of laundry at once. This time of year we wash towels daily. Friends come over and I need to wash towels but also clothes!! I could do both simultaneously, so brilliant!
This would cut my laundry time down by so much, I would love to have one of these. It’s a really great contest prize!
With my boys; big and small; this would be amaze balls. I love all the features; super awesome. Thank you and good luck to all!
I love clean clothes! This would be so nice for the new house
I would love thus for washing my work uniforms & daughters cheer clothes
With a family of eight, this is TOTALLY needed. UGH, LOL… It sounds like the perfect addition to our family. Plus, our washer is ten years old and we need an upgrade
I cloth diaper, and this would allow me to keep up with the diaper laundry more efficiently!
Hello! This is AMAZING!
So cool! A total need for any mom!
We’re a family of seven and seemingly ALWAYS doing laundry! This would help with that I suspect!
I am so with you on this and the small loads! Would be amazing to do two loads at once. I have 3 boys that make a lot of laundry:)
I would love to win because my current piece of crap washer is seriously about to die! I can only wash clothes on hot (my white shirt is now blue!). This would be a total lifesaver!!!
I love this washer!
Everyone has some household chore that it is impossible to believe they actually enjoy. The machines you showed here are both beautiful and powerful. That is a wonderful combination.
I would love to be able to separate the small loads of clothes that don’t get dried from the large loads that do.
Oooohhhhh parent to tiny people over here! Would love the ability to do a small load with regular washing still going on!
I would love to have this for small loads. How great!
This is THE BEST IDEA EVER! Amazing, I need one of these in my life!
How freaking handy is that?! As a mom of 5 I need all the peeky holes that will wash for me I can get! Totally want to look into getting one!
I have 3 very active kids and we’re avid campers. Being able to do 2 loads at once would be a lifesaver!
My washer and dryer are dying! With 5 kids and 3 of them stinky teens the laundry is through the roof. Would love to win this and go back to enjoying laundry again.
I am a mom of 7, so I could definitely use an extra washing space!
What a fantastic idea!
My husbands work clothes pile up faster than any other clothes. I always seem to have a smaller load of delicates or kids clothes waiting to get bigger to go to wash. Would love to save time and be able to wash them while simultaneously washing my husbands work clothes!
I would love the option of doing two separate loads of laundry at the same time. It save me a lot of time and great for times when I have relatives staying over for extended period of time. They can do their laundry and don’t feel like taking over the washer.
I’d love this for washing baby clothes and intimates. Have wanted it for our LG washer ever since I heard of it!
You had me at being able to do 2 different sized loads of laundry at once. Game changer indeed
Oh my gosh! Think of the time savings! Laundry isn’t one of my most hated chores, but still, would I rather be doing something fun?? YES! What an awesome giveaway, thanks for the chance to win – good luck to all!
Would be great to wash gentle garments or soccer or camping stuff that I don’t want to wash in big machine 🙂
Would be great for washing items like gentle items or kids sports stuff sepera rely from the full load ❣❣❣
I would like this so I can wash two loads at once to save time. My kids always create lots of extra laundry.
this would save me time and make laundry easier to do
I would love to own one so my laundry doesn’t pile up waiting for a full load and plus I can feel better about washing my delicates too in small loads.
Oh my goodness, with 7 us in our house, this would be awesome! We have so much laundry and to be able to do small loads in the sidekick that is just too cool! Would definitely make this Mom’s laundry more simple!
Two loads at once??? That would be a lifesaver!
I too am a mom to 4 sons, this would be a dream since I am always forgetting to add items to the wash.
I would love to have one of these in my house. This is a great way to do smaller loads.
I need to look into getting one for my house. LG makes amazing appliances.
This is amazing!
I can wash gentle items without having to run the entire washer! Love it!
i’d love to own one b/c we’re expecting our second child in a few months and need to ramp up our laundry handling method! thanks!
Let me first say that your laundry setup is heavenly!!! I have been so curious about the sidekick and think it’s a perfect compliment to my laundry routine. Things like swimsuits and my lingerie I like to wash separately in small loads, this would be perfect!
Amazing giveaway!
I would love to do multiple loads at the same time! We also have swim suits, tennis clothes & towels I like to wash everyday! Plus all the regular clothes! This would surely make laundry more manageable & dare I say…easier?!? 😉
This looks amazing. My delicates pile up and this would make my life so much easier.
I want to win because our washer is 15 years old! We need a new one 🙂
I’ve been eyeing this line!
This would be perfect especially for our new house since the laundry is downstairs.
My washer is very old and this one is awesome! It would definitely cut my laundry time in half.
This is amazing! I only have two children and I am doing laundry (almost) daily. I always separate everything into its category to be washed and sometimes, I am just washing 4 items. Great review! I am glad this is perfect for your household! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to have one because with 6 people in the house this would make my life so much easier!
This would be perfect for washing my baby granddaughter’s things.
would love to own a sidekick so i can pop my kiddos baseball shirts and shorts in quickly and get em done while i have other laundry going! total time saver!!
My husband is 6’8″ so all of his clothes need special care so we don’t shrink them! I am forever separating laundry because trying to find the right size clothing is always a task!
2 loads at once? Yes please
Would love this especially for hand washing things! I always dread that because it’s such a small amount that needs special care.
This is best thing I seen yet with technology! ! In our house we have me and three kids so muddy xlithea can be washed in small load or whites as we don’t have a lot. And plus I don’t have a washer at moment so it would be a blessing with great new awesome washer
I like that with four kids that i can wash more than one load, and that my delicates would be gently washed
Oh my goodness! This machine is absolutely fabulous! We have so many different laundry needs at our house. Usually it’s just my husband and me and our laundry needs are most often small but… we also have grandkids 4-5 times a week. The grands laundry ranges from small loads to huge loads.
With a small family I often only need to do a small load!
This looks Awesome. I always fret when zip have a small load in my big washer.
I do A LOT of laundry, so I would love to have one of these in my life. How awesome 🙂

I like the Activewear setting – i have 3 sons in hockey
Omg! I need this so badly! My washer is 23 years old and about to die
So cool! We’re looking to move & one of the biggest requirements I’m looking for is a washer & dryer. It would be such a time saver to add this on! Eliminating the laundromat from my life would be amazing 🙂
I would love for this. I have three kids and 3 pets so laundry is a major deal in our house. Our washer i solder and on its way out. It would be amazing to have something efficient and I could throw in leftovers when I forget (every day)
With as much laundry as I do and having just moved into our new home, I need this is my life!
This would be great for my wife who seems to be obsessed with our laundry. This would make her life a lot easier.
Um, YES PLEASE. All the laundry at the same time!
This looks like the perfect family washing machine!
I’d LOVE THIS!!! THank you for the opportunity!
Oh wow! I would love to have a LG SideKick. I think every household could use one.

This would be great for a family with a new baby! What an awesome giveaway!
I actually want this for my mom, with her recent diagnosis with MS – it is hard for her to get around and having to do laundry for 4 people, well that doesn’t make it any easier….this would “lighten her load”.

#loveLGproducts
Oh man, I’d LOVE to be able to do 2 loads at once! That would cut my laundry pile in half!
I would love this because as a newlywed, I have all hand me downs! 🙂
Hi Audrey,
Like you, I have an extra large family and it seems like everyone’s need different kinds of care.
There is 9 living with us. Three children ages 8, 10, and 17.
The rest are adults ages 19, 41, 43, 66, 69, and 84!
We have been done with baby clothes for about 5 years now.
But we are at the other end of the spectrum now, caring for our parents.
My husbands stepfather is 84, unlike you having to potty train, He is becoming untrained 🙁 (if you know what I mean). So we deal with soiled clothes. My mom and mother in-laws clothes. My 17yr. Old son is in Track, and my girls (8 & 10) both cheer and do ballet. We all love to swim. My husband has casual dress attire for work. I have my usual clothing. Plus everything else.
Ah looks so helpful, and yes sports potty training..etc. got it all. Thank you for these helpful insights.
I have heard such great things about the LG Sidekick. We need to get a new set and this is something we may take into consideration.
That is awesome! That is something that I really need. When I do laundry it’s at least two loads if not a lot more at a time. This would really come in handy!
I am planning a laundry room reno. I will be needing new appliances and the LG front-load washer and LG SideKick bundle is a great deal.
My washer just kicked the bucket. I have been looking at a replacement and the LG front-load washer and LG SideKick is a great combo. I am thinking about getting them and this is a fantastic price.
I would love the LG front-load washer and LG SideKick . We make a ton of laundry in our house. I could use a new machine.
Sounds amazing! We need all the help me can get here with laundry. Our machines take a lot of beating. Thanks for the giveaway, entered !
I’m all for getting all of my laundry done faster, that’s a difficult task with a family of 7.
I would love to win as we do lots of laundry and could use a new sidekick to help!
This is such a helpful way to scrub uniforms clean. Love that it makes getting stains out much easier!
This washing machine looks amazing! I need one in my life! Our set is as old as our home and was probably the cheapest available at the time. I dream of a fancy washer/dryer set!
This is seriously the best! I’d use the sidekick so often. I don’t like having to throw everything into the same load if I’m in a rush.
With a big family in one house the Lg Sidekick will be a big help washing more than one persons load at once.
OMG this washer is just the coolest – that’s why I’d love to own one…well, that and the fact that my current washer is on it’s last leg!!
I would love to own a sidekick to help with laundry day!
It would make laundry fun!
I’d love the Sidekick because then I could wash my toddler’s messy stained outfits immediately instead of waiting for a bigger load to put in the wash! Perfect for toddler clothes.
The ability to run two separate loads at once would be wonderful! The clothes the boys bring back after camping with Scouts can smell horrible.
because our current washer is falling apart
This would be SO amazing to win. As a newlywed moving into a home with 2 kids under 9 and 2 teenagers we do SO MUCH laundry. What an awesome blessing this could be!
This would be perfect for cleaning my toddler’s clothes. He makes stains like crazy!
My family would love a LG Sidekick because we need a great washer for our big family and all of our messes! we’ve always wanted a front load washer too!
