June, 2023

1. What smart technologies are on offer in LG washing machines?

A washing machine purchase is a long-term commitment, so it’s important you’re able to find a model that caters to all the needs of your household. From the style to the colour and load options, there are so many factors that must be considered when purchasing your next washing machine.

At LG, we want to make the washing machine buying process as simple as possible. That’s why we’ve produced the following guide to give you an overview of all our LG washing machines, their features and why choosing a washing machine model with smart technologies is a great investment.

LG offers several different smart technologies in its home appliances range, and a number of the technologies we have developed are specifically tailored to make our washing machines as intelligent as possible. With people spending more time at home over the past three years, there’s been a shift in people needing their homes and the technology in their homes to work a bit harder for them.

Whether that’s more innovative features such as a Wi-Fi-enabled washing machine that reduces time doing laundry or the need for quieter appliances while working from home – smart technologies are key to finding the optimal washing machine. The smart home sector has seen an acceleration of adoption as people have had more time to play with the features in their existing appliances and gadgets.

2. Is it worth getting a smart washing machine? What problems do they solve?

Now, more than ever, making sure you have a product with the smart capabilities to support your household’s needs is so important. Over the years, the way we live has completely shifted, with many people now spending more time at home, being even more reliant on their appliances.

What’s more, as energy prices continue to rise it’s fundamental for you to find an appliance that is going to maximise your savings, through its energy-efficient technologies.

Managing washing machine noise

Washing machine noise can be one of the biggest bugbears, particularly in an age where so many individuals are working from home. At LG, we challenged ourselves to come up with a solution.

Our washing machines feature a unique Centum suspension system which uses shock absorbers to soak up vibrations during heavy wash loads and spinning, so now you can wash your clothes quietly.

Users will no longer need to shut the door when making a call whilst the washing machine is on, as the unit will be quietly ticking away, causing no household disruption.

What to do when your washing machine is not clean enough?

Cleaning the washer tub monthly, using LG’s Tub Clean feature can help minimise the possibility of odours, minimise detergent residue build-up and maximise your washing machine's performance. In this video, we will show you how to properly use the Tub Clean feature on your LG washing machine.

How to manage your washing machine energy efficiency?

Several LG smart technologies featured in our washing machines help you to manage your energy use. Our ThinQ™ technology gives you the ability to manage your washing on the go, via your smartphone, allowing you to turn off the machine when it’s not in use.

Whilst LG’s Direct Drive™ inverter technology limits the amount of excess energy your washing machine releases when it’s on a spin cycle. At LG, we are always striving to make our range of washing machines as energy-efficient as possible, with a number of our models being A-rated, including the LG F4V5RGP2T and the LG F4R5VYL2P.

How to use smart technologies to manage allergy symptoms?

Many washing machines, including our LG models, have an allergy care cycle that can be enabled, this cycle utilises steam technology to sanitise clothes and remove any unwanted allergens, whilst also sterilising any bacteria to make sure your clothes have the ultimate clean feel.

Our F20L2CRV2E2 Washing Machine range features allergy and baby care programmes that sanitise clothes with pure water, using Steam™ technology.

How to limit fabric damage with your washing machine?

As we try to increase the longevity of clothes and move towards being more sustainable in our clothing habits, limiting fabric damage is paramount.

LG’s latest washing machines all adopt AI DD™ technology which uses deep learning technology to deliver improved laundry results and minimal fabric damage. This is possible because AI DD™ technology determines the volume and characteristics of each load, factoring in fabric sensitivity and load weight to make sure that clothes are washed with the optimum cycle pattern.

3. How to solve your problems with an LG smart washing machine?

At LG, we listen to the needs of our customers when developing our smart technologies, to make sure that all the features we offer, resolve problems flagged to us by our customers. For example, we’ve noticed an increased interest in energy-efficient washing machines and so in response, we have made sure our energy-efficient models are up to the test, and we’ve even developed several new appliances which answer these demands.

Smart technology is meant to elevate your home appliances to being the pinnacle of convenience, enabling households to control and monitor their appliances remotely not only to save time but to save on energy consumption and costs.
