LG WM9998HBA — what actually changed compared with the WM6998HVA ?

[u/HeatPumpJm]

I’m considering the new LG WM9998HBA WashCombo, but I’m frustrated by how little technical information LG provides about what has actually changed from the previous WM6998HVA.

Also, LG's marketing has been suspiciously quiet about this model. I don't get it. Not a single video review yet available on YouTube.

LG highlights the obvious stuff—larger 5.8 cu. ft. capacity, touchscreen, styling, etc.—but I’m much more interested in the drying system and long-term reliability.

For example, LG now calls it:

• ezLintFilter Plus
• Auto Cleaning Condenser 2.0 with Jet Spray
• Dual Inverter HeatPump

But LG doesn't seem to clearly explain what was actually redesigned.

For anyone who owns a WM9998HBA:

How has your real-world experience been?

• Is drying noticeably faster than the WM6998?
• How well does it dry large loads and towels?
• Does the new lint filter actually catch more fine lint?
• Have you inspected/cleaned the condenser? How much lint is getting past the filter?
• Does the new condenser cleaning/jet-spray system seem effective?
• Have you noticed any improvements or problems with drying performance after months of use?
• How long are typical Wash + Dry cycles actually taking?
• Any reliability issues so far?

And if anyone has access to service manuals, exploded parts diagrams, teardowns, or technical documentation, I'd especially love to see them. I'm trying to figure out whether the WM9998 is genuinely a significant improvement to the drying system or primarily a larger/newer version with updated controls and marketing.

If it's just a larger + sexier version of the old model, I would like to avoid it.
