energy is needed because a smaller amount of water is used. Over the course of
one year’s laundry, this translates to savings of one month’s water and energy bills. That's
good for your pocket as well as the environment.

Twice as effective as
conventional washers
at reducing allergens.
The mites, pollen, fungus and pet hair in fabric are often the cause of your family’s
allergies. Our unique Allergy Care Cycle eliminates these unwanted allergens
from your wash twice as successfully as conventional machines. Unlike boiling
water, steam can maintain the optimum temperature required to dissolve away allergens.
Compared to conventional machines, the British Allergy Foundation proved that we remove
more common household allergens. Discover the complete care of the LG Steam Direct
Drive Washer.

This result is based on research by the Yonsei University Laboratory. When removal rate of the LG
steam washer is considered to be 100%, conventional removal rate is 49%.

Big Capacity
Drum means fewer
laundry days.
Conventional washing machines never seem to have enough room. To cope with
all of your laundry needs, you’re forced to use the machine more frequently. Our
new Big Capacity Drum gives you an extra 1kg of load so you can wash more
in one cycle. There’s also room to wash bulky items like duvets and winter fleece jackets.
What’s more, a bigger drum actually improves the quality of your wash. Clothes move more
freely so there are fewer tangles. The “pounding action” that removes the dirt and stains is
more powerful because the clothes tumble from a greater height. Welcome to the bigger

The new Direct Drive system dispenses with traditional components. Gone is the electromagnetic
motor of the past, replaced by a permanent magnet motor. Instead of a brush or commutator, we
employ a speed sensor and a location, direction sensor. This reduces noise, dust, abrasion and spark
and energy loss. Gone is the old belt and pulley system. The Direct Drive Motor is attached to the
centre of the drum for more stability, energy efficiency and less vibrations. There are fewer moving
parts, so the motor is more silent and stronger.
