“LG’s highly acclaimed washing machines provide both strong and delicate performance for greater consumer benefits,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “They can wash larger loads while using less energy and water, which is what consumers have been asking for. What’s more, our new Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers allow homeowners to better manage electricity and water consumption for lower utility bills and less environmental impact. There are absolutely no compromises.”

LG’s advanced 6 Motion Direct Drive motor uses a combination of six different motions to deliver customized washes for various types of clothes with fewer wrinkles and less damage. In addition, thanks to the Inverter Direct Drive motor, LG washers perform quietly and reliably. LG backs the durability and reliability of its Inverter Direct Drive motor with a 10-year warranty while VDE[1], Germany’s scientific and technical association, evaluated and certified that the Inverter Direct Drive had a lifespan of 22 years.

LG’s front–load washing machine also incorporates the unique TrueSteam™ technology, which includes the Steam Refresh function. Instead of water, steam is used to remove wrinkles and odors from clothes in just 20 minutes, leaving deep clean results. Moreover, LG’s TrueSteam™ technology helps to remove allergens, mites and even residual detergent, all of which have been linked to respiratory and skin allergies. In recognition of these features, LG’s steam washer has been certified by the British Allergy Foundation.

Eco-Hybrid Washer-Dryer

LG’s Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers provide users with both Air-drying and normal drying modes, whereas most washing machines only offer one or the other. Each of these convenient and efficient options delivers A-grade energy savings. Compared with LG conventional drying modes, LG’s powerful Air-drying setting can save users nearly 7,000 liters of water per year.[2]  

At 24-inch standard size, LG’s Eco-Hybrid washer-dryer boasts the world’s first 12kg washing capacity and 8kg drying capacity, effectively reducing a household’s washing frequency by approximately 91 washes per year.[3] Moreover, LG’s innovative new Dual Ball Balancer and Damping System help to maintain load balance and reduce noise created by internal vibrations.

Eco-Hybrid Dryer

LG’s Eco-Hybrid dryer features an Eco mode and a Speed mode, letting the owner choose between optimal energy and time savings. Using sophisticated heat pump technology, Eco mode achieves A++ energy efficiency. Speed mode also provides great energy efficiency, with an A grade while taking 30 percent less time [4] to complete a cycle. An ideal solution for delicate items, LG’s Eco-Hybrid dryers can dry clothes even at low temperatures, reducing fabric damage and shrinkage.

These advanced dryers are also equipped with LG’s unique Auto Cleaning System, which cleans the dryer’s condenser up to seven times per cycle. Built to stand up to repeated usage, this durable system optimizes energy efficiency as well as drying performance. Moreover, any build-up of lint in the condenser over time is also minimized.
