One in three persons in the UK are affected by allergies at some point in their lifetime. The numbers are rising, yet few national resources are allocated to the diagnosis and treatment of this multi-organ disease. The British Allergy Foundation, operating under the charity name Allergy UK, has set a standard for products which restrict/reduce/remove allergens from the environment of the allergy sufferer, and for products which have significantly reduced allergen content.
Several LG Washing Machines have received the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval for their allergen-reducing properties. Look for the logo beside each product. To learn more, visit the British Allergy Foundation’s website.
LG washing machines have a wide 30cm porthole, and a 180º swing door, making it easy to load and unload bulky items.
Once you’ve selected the cycle and pressed the start button, the Intelligent Washing System detects the load-size, selects the water temperature, and determines the optimal water-level and cycle-time.
LG washing machines are equipped with a circulating shower function called Shower Spray. A pump under the drum releases water, spraying from the top during washing and rinsing cycles, to improve detergent dispersion.
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.
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.
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.
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.
LG’s TrueBalance™ technology is an Anti-Vibration System that creates a quiet operation with reduced vibration and noise.
The Wash/Rinse Optimizer is a special sensor designed to ensure optimal washing and rinsing performance by automatically adjusting wash- and rinse-cycle times.
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.
The 4.5 cu. ft. Ultra-Capacity SteamWasher™ helps you wash more clothes in fewer loads.
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.
Direct DriveTM is state-of-the-art technology that integrates the washing machine’s motor, belt, and pulley into a single, quiet, and durable mechanism, attached directly to the drum.
By integrating the belt and pulley, Direct DriveTM reduces the chance of defects.
Having the motor attached directly to the drum means a more stable, balanced system.
By removing the brush, the LG Direct DriveTM system eliminates unpleasant frictional noises.
Direct DriveTM parts carry a 10-year warranty.
Design plays a critical role in harmonising technology and human needs. In an effort to predict emerging needs and deliver innovative products to the public, LG has developed a comprehensive design philosophy that boils down to four basic elements: concept, style, interface, and finish.
At LG, we strive to make your home life easier and more enjoyable by creating digital appliances that fit your lifestyle and home décor.
In this era of digital technology, LG has been delving deeply into design and research. Our design team is focused on creating digital appliances that make life easier and more fun.
Digital technology is becoming an increasingly important tool in our modern lives. A growing number of products come equipped with “intelligent” microchips and networking options. This technology, though still in its early stages, has great potential—requiring our designers to put on their “inventing caps” to predict emerging trends, design new lifestyle concepts, and test out their designs on a demanding public.
At the LG Life Soft Research Lab, established almost 20 years ago, researchers, designers, and trend scouts work to predict the future by examining and identifying consumer desires; observing the public’s interest in products; and developing design concepts and solutions based on this research.
This is how LG stays one step ahead of the game—we’re always working on products for the future. Our research is focused not only on new products and technological trends, but also on understanding customer and market behaviour.
LG is currently the only company offering its unique Direct DriveTM technology. In 2008, our innovative Steam Direct DriveTM washing machine was voted "Product of the Year" for "Excellence in Garment Care" by Get Connected. LG has some of the largest-capacity washing machines available, not to mention customised to fit each customer’s needs.
LG Steam Direct DriveTM washing machines are designed to make efficient use of water, and reduce energy consumption. They exceed the Energy Saving Trust®’s recommended standards for energy-efficient consumer products.
Steam Direct Drive™ washing machines have an extra-large capacity, letting you do more laundry in fewer loads. Combine that with steam technology that also reduces water and energy use, and you’re talking about a 51% reduction in electricity consumption, and a 44% reduction in water consumption, compared to standard washers.
Due to our ever-growing population—both in the United Kingdom and around the world—demands on our water resources have increased. Reduce your household’s water waste—without reducing your activities or relied-on services—by installing high-efficiency appliances that can cut indoor water use by about 30%. You’ll also see a substantial savings on your water and energy bills.
From the Energy Saving Trust® website:
“Did you know that switching to an Energy Saving Recommended washing machine could cut your energy consumption by up to a third compared to an old washing machine? It can also save you up to £11 a year on your electricity bills and 45 kilograms of CO2.”

A Load Sensor is a sensor found in LG washer machines that is specially designed to ensure optimal washing and rinsing performance by automatically adjusting wash-and-rinse cycle times, depending on the size of the load.
Steam Direct DriveTM washing machines are available in white, silver, and black—a variety of options to match your décor.
Choose the drum size to fit your lifestyle. Ultra-capacity helps you wash more clothes in fewer loads.
Direct DriveTM washing machines have a powerful and reliable motor that boasts minimised vibration and noise, and reduced energy consumption. Conventional washing machines with belts and pulleys tend to wear out faster due to vibration, and create unpleasant noise and power-loss due to friction.
With a Direct DriveTM motor, there are fewer moving parts. This means less vibration and noise, increased efficiency, and a decreased chance of breakdown or brush and belt replacement.

A large capacity washing machine cuts down on the number of loads, while allowing you to wash larger items such as blankets or curtains. Also, with more space, your items will be less wrinkled.
With their wide, 30cm porthole and 180º swing doors, LG washing machine doors make it east to load and unload large items.
Once you’ve selected a programme and pressed the start button, the Intelligent Washing System detects the load size, selects the water temperature, and determines the optimum water level and cycle time, keeping water and energy consumption to a minimum.
