What You Need to Know about Washers

What’s a SteamWasher™?

The innovative LG SteamWasher™ uses real steam to give you enhanced cleaning performance that exceeds water alone.

How can steam penetrate more effectively than water? It’s surprisingly simple. The molecules of steam are smaller, hotter, and more active. So steam gets between fibers to dissolve dirt, remove odors, and destroy allergens. Steam also takes less time to do a better job, because it reaches higher temperatures more quickly.

What is TrueSteam™ technology?

LG’s revolutionary TrueSteam™ technology uses a real steam generator to convert water into steam that’s fed into the top of the wash-drum through a spray nozzle. Steam then penetrates the fabrics for enhanced cleaning performance—resulting in brighter whites and more vibrant colors.

What is the Allergiene™ Cycle?

The SteamWasher™ with LG’s exclusive Allergiene™ Cycle is the first washer certified “asthma and allergy friendly” by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). The AllergieneTM Cycle is proven to remove 95% or more of household dust mites and domestic animal dander. It can be the answer to an allergen-sufferer’s dreams.

What is the SteamFresh™ Cycle?

LG’s unique SteamFresh™ cycle uses real steam to virtually eliminate wrinkles and odors, making your fabrics look fresh and new in just 20 minutes. This cycle is perfect for refreshing lightly-worn clothes at the end of the day, or for fluffing and refreshing towels and comforters.

What is TrueBalance™?

LG’s TrueBalance™ technology is an Anti-Vibration System that creates a quiet operation with reduced vibration and noise.

The Wash/Rinse Optimizer

The Wash/Rinse Optimizer is a special sensor designed to ensure optimal washing and rinsing performance by automatically adjusting wash- and rinse-cycle times.

Designer Colors

Depending on the SteamWasher™ model, these innovative machines are available in White, Pure Silver, Wild Cherry Red, and Stainless Steel—an array of options meant to match different design tastes.

Ultra-Capacity

The 4.5 cu. ft. Ultra-Capacity SteamWasher™ helps you wash more clothes in fewer loads.

SteamWasher’s Energy Savings Potential

The LG ultra-capacity SteamWasher™ is among the most water- and energy-efficient washers available today. ENERGY STAR®-rated by the U.S. government, the SteamWasherTM can save you more than $650, compared to traditional top-load washers, over its lifetime of use.

SteamWashers™ are 115% more efficient than the minimum federal standard, saving more than 8,000 gallons of water each year, as compared to traditional washers. It’s smart for your pocketbook and good for the environment.

Water Efficiency and Washers

The LG SteamWasher™ is an eco-friendly product that is designed to make efficient use of water and reduce energy consumption. The SteamWasherTM exceeds the U.S. government’s ENERGY STAR® standards for energy-efficient consumer products.

The LG SteamWasher™ has an ultra-large capacity that allows for more laundry in fewer loads, saving water and energy simultaneously. Combine that with water- and energy-saving steam technology, and you’re talking about a washing machine that reduces electricity consumption by 51% and water consumption by 44% compared to standard washers!

Why save water?

Due to our ever-growing population—both in the United States and around the world—demands on our water resources have increased. Here’s the good news: you can reduce your household’s water waste without reducing your activities or relied-on services. Installing high-efficiency appliances alone can cut indoor water use by about 30%, yielding substantial savings on your water and energy bills. Start saving today with an LG SteamWasher™.

A note from the U.S. Government’s Energy Star® website:

“Washers are the second largest water user in your home. If your clothes washer is old, you should consider replacing it with an ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer. Most ENERGY STAR washers use 35 to 50 percent less water and 50 percent less energy per load. To save more water, look for a clothes washer with a low water factor. The lower the water factor, the less water the machine uses.”

6Motion™ Technology
All the right moves

Get your clothes cleaner and give them a longer life with revolutionary 6Motion™ technology. Each wash cycle combines up to 6 different wash motions to provide outstanding cleaning while being gentle on fabrics.

ColdWash™ Technology
The hottest thing in cold

Now using the cold cycle on your washer doesn’t mean compromising how clean your clothes are. New ColdWash™ technology uses cold water and enhanced washing motions to penetrate deep into fabrics, giving you cold water savings with warm water performance.

WaveForce™ Technology
Catch the Wave

LG WaveForce™ uses rapid drum movement and powerful water jets provide outstanding washing and rinsing performance, while staying gentle on clothes.

  • Smart Diagnosis™

    It's unlikely you'll experience any problems with your LG product, but if you ever do, Smart Diagnosis™ helps the service center diagnose problems over the phone, helping you minimize costly, inconvenient service calls.

  • Direct Drive™ Motor

    When you buy a washer, you don't want to worry that it won't last. Because the Direct Drive Motor uses fewer moving parts and operates more efficiently, LG confidently backs the motor with a 10-year warranty.
