    Overview

    Quiet Motor

    Direct Drive and Inverter motors have less moving parts, resulting in a longer lifespan. They use their motor to directly rotate the washing machine's drum meaning they are more energy efficient and operate more quietly.

    Fix problems quickly

    If your LG washer experiences any issues its Smart Diagnosis function can help quickly determine exactly what's wrong. Rather than calling for a technician you can use a smartphone app to find out if it's something you can fix yourself.

    Delicate Wash

    Protect your delicates with a gentle cycle that will carefully wash garments made of silk and other fine fabrics.

    Manufacturer’s Warranty

    Supported by a manufacturer’s warranty, this appliance offers added reassurance for everyday use, with warranty coverage available in accordance with the manufacturer’s applicable terms and conditions.

    Don't buy
    No mater what we do, how we wash, what detergent (Powder, Liquid, capsule), we ALWAYS get soap marks and or fluff on dark colours. Clean filters constantly. If you're looking at a new machine DON'T buy this brand. I just wonder how much LG paid Choice for their reviews!

    spin cycle sucks
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] dislike this washing machine very much, the quick wash does not spin on high... and even on high its still not very spun out...

    Worst washing machine ever owned
    Have had this machine for nearly 4 years and since new leaves patches of scum on clothes. It wipes of when clothes are dry but very frustrating. Clean filters etc but nothing helps.
