Our tech excellence

LG has revolutionized the washing machine from when it was first commercialized in 1998 until the present. LG Inverter DirectDrive™ continues to evolve with 6 Motion DD and Deep-learning AI DD™ through nonstop research and development. As a result of this continuous innovation, LG washing machines have received positive reviews from leading magazines and retailers such as Consumer Reports in the USA, Which in the UK, and FNAC DARTY in France.

A decade of peace of mind 

Need a washing machine built to last for your family?

Unlike a LG Conventional motor separated by belts, the DD motor’s simplified design with fewer parts enhances durability. With a long-lasting build, LG offers an extensive 10-year warranty for guaranteed performance. We've got you covered so breakdowns don't slow you down.

The quiet magic of cozy nighttime laundry 

Want the convenience of washing clothes on your own schedule?

Connecting the motor directly to the washing machine not only reduces the number of parts but also noise. Components such as springs, friction dampers, balance weights, and vibration sensors work together to lower the vibration and noise. So, forget about distractions and have fun while your washing machine runs.

Big capacity, big savings, big comfort

Dream of having your weekends back with less laundry to do?

The Inverter DirectDrive™ increases the size of the internal drum through vibration reduction technologies such as connecting direct power on to the drum, friction dampers, balance weights, and vibration sensors. It saves on bills and conserves water by washing more clothes at once. Your laundry piles disappear faster, giving you more free time.

Looks that feel hand-washed with care

Want to experience an active life with your family without laundry worries?

Unlike washing machines that move in just one or two constant motions, 6 Motion DD™ adjusts its motor speed precisely for each program, moving the tub in multiple directions to replicate a handwashing motion. Now you can wash even the dirtiest of kids' clothes with ease with six unique washing motions.

Tailored to perfection for your fabrics

Need to protect your beloved yoga pants and fragile lingerie?

LG’s exclusive Deep-learning AI DD™ detects the load weight and softness of fabrics. It determines optimal washing patterns from six motions to customize cleaning and fabric protection based on 20,000 Big Data points using Deep-learning AI technology. Wear your favorites like new for longer, wash after wash.

Deep-learning AI DD™ can achieve optimal wash results by being gentle on delicate fabrics and more aggressive on heavily stained or soiled fabrics. This reduces fabric damage by 18%* for front loaders and 24%* for top loaders. First in the consumer electronics industry to receive Deep Learning AI Verification from global independent safety science company UL****.

Each fabric looks enlarged in the order of underwear, shirt, and jeans, and two motion icons are drawn for each fabric.

*F4V9RWP2W: width models: 18%, tested by Intertek on March 2019, Cotton(Normal) program with default option compared to conventional washer with default option, based on 2kg of soft/delicate load like lingerie, blouse and etc.
