Owners who have brought an LG washing machines recommend them to others.
In fact Statistics show over 75 percent of owners recommend their machine.
LG is a global company with more than 30 affiliated companies which operate in more than 300 offices all over the world. LG was named a Top 100 global brand in 2005.
They all started back in 1947 in Seoul, South Korea. Initially they sold toothbrushes but soon expanded into other areas in consumer electronic.
They have been making quality washing machines for nearly 40 years and become established by manufacturing new products each year, all of which are above and beyond the latest technological advances.
Standard Front Loaders
A large lineup of washers with an equally large variety of features, LG’s front-loaders come highly recommended by their owners.
Ranging in size from 2.7 to a whopping 4.5 cubic feet of drum space, there’s an LG washer for any household – the hard part is choosing one. These washers are incredibly compact for their capacity, and will fit into just about any setup.
Most LG washers bear the Energy Star award and all are highly efficient, especially on water. That’s good, because these machines can come with a hefty price tag attached. You do get what you pay for – very good performance and high versatility.
LG owners say that although these machines have tons of features, they’re very intuitive and easy to use. Popular options include delayed start, child locking doors, and an efficient detergent injection system.
Some things you’ll want to keep in mind:
These washers use very little water; some customers aren’t happy with the reduction, claiming detergent residue can be left over after washing.
Others claim to have been won over after a period of adjustment. On some models, cycles can run fairly long, and like most front-loading washers, these need a thorough cleaning periodically to prevent the buildup and odour of mildew.
Finally, the low placement of the door on these washing machines can mean a lot of bending, although a simple pedestal can solve this problem.

LG SteamWashers
These front-loading machines offer a sanitizing steam cycle that kills bacteria and easily removes stubborn stains. With massive capacities ranging from 4.2 to 4.8 cubic feet, LG steam washers can handle even the heaviest loads.
Even with such large drums, this lineup (with a few exceptions) is still fairly compact and some models are even stackable, making them a good choice even for smaller spaces.
Featuring an easy to use interface and wide variety of customisable cycles, there’s definitely a perfect cycle for your laundry needs. Delayed start allows you to time your loads for off-peak hours to save on energy.
Speaking of energy, these washers are highly efficient on both water and electricity, and many boast the Energy Star rating. They come in an energetic, bright primary colour scheme, too.
Some things you’ll want to keep in mind:
Many people find these washers noisy – even with reduction technology. You’ll want to make sure you get one with the “TruBalance” system to minimize sound and vibrations.
LG steam washers can take a long time to go through a complete cycle, especially with the sanitizing feature activated.
With great quality comes a steep price tag – but according to most LG owners, it’s worth it.

LG Front Loaders
It almost seems as if LG is slowly phasing out their top-loading designs. Although these are still effective, efficient machines (some even boast the Energy Star rating, which is uncommon in a top-loader), there’s not much to differentiate them from other similar washers.
LG top-loaders range from very compact to overly bulky, with drum sizes ranging from 9-15kg (about 3 to 5.2 cubic feet), and from slick modern style to big, white boxes.
This lineup is very easy to use and does boast an impressive range of features, including programmable cycles, child locks, delayed start and more.
One thing you’ll want to keep in mind:
these are great washers, but they’re very expensive. If you’re looking at these for reasons other than style, you’ll probably be able to find a comparable machine in a lower price range.
LG Combination Washer-Dryers
Most washer-dryer combinations come with a compromise: they do both well, but neither perfectly. The LG combination series attempts to do away with that perception.
Boasting a highly-customisable set of programs, these whisper-quiet and ultra-compact machines are a dream for apartment dwellers. With 2.44 cubic feet of drum space, LG combo machines are great for small families or singles, but due to the relatively long cycle time, may not be able to keep up with the laundry needs of more than a few people.
LG combo washers require no special venting or electrical hookup – just plug into a wall socket and wash!
With delayed start, child locking doors and Energy Star ratings, these washers sit comfortably at the top of their class. The top-end model in this series even offers a steam clean/sanitize cycle.
Some things you’ll want to keep in mind:
As with most spinning dryers, clothes can wrinkle fairly quickly in these washer-dryers.
LG combination washer-dryers are very high quality – and very expensive.
Final thoughts
LG has a great line of washing machines and dryers, all of which meet the exceptional standards set by their company. Their front load Steam Washers makes it possible to clean even the dirtiest clothes, without having to worry about scrubbing or pre-treating stains before throwing them in the wash.
The XL line contains the largest capacity on the market, so cleaning a dozen bath towels at once is now possible. The LG washer and dryer combinations make it possible to wash and dry your laundry all in one machine, so you can put it in, start it up, and not have to worry about it the rest of the day. Like all LG appliances on the market, their major goal is to satisfy customers and that is what they have been doing for years and will be for years to come.
