LG washing machines
There are so many different brands of washing machines on the home appliance market. Bosch, AEG, Samsung, Ariston, Indesit, Beko, Candy, LG—the list goes on, and with such a wide variety, it can be difficult to choose.
However, it's worth noting that washing machines from different brands have their own unique characteristics. These aren't just differences in price range and design, which are what we notice first. They also include technological advancements and innovations incorporated into the machines.
We've dedicated this article to the LG automatic washing machine, exploring its advantages and lifespan, as well as reviewing its model range and comparing the specifications of different models.
The history of the appearance of cars of this brand
The origins of the LG brand and its history begin in 1947, when Lak Hui Chemica was founded in South Korea, producing tooth powder, face cream, and other hygiene products. Until 1953, the company successfully sold its products, steadily increasing production volumes. It was this company that pioneered the use of plastic in product packaging. In 1958, Koo In-hoi opened a subsidiary, Gold Star, to manufacture radios. This marked the beginning of the company's technical development.
In parallel with technical developments, Ku In Hoi went into the oil refining business and opened a plastics factory. Unlike European companies, the first washing machine appeared in Korea only in 1969.At the same time, elevators and air conditioners were introduced. In the 1970s, Gold Star produced its own microchips, which resulted in the introduction of cassette recorders and color television.
By the 1990s, the company had gained worldwide recognition, with household appliances being assembled in the United States, Great Britain, Egypt, Thailand, and the Philippines. In 1995, the Gold Star brand was renamed Lucky Group, or LG for short. Today, it is a massive corporation with factories and branches worldwide, headquartered in Seoul.
In Russia, LG washing machines have been assembled at a plant in the Moscow region since 2005.
Advantages of washing machines
To compare LG automatic washing machines with those of other brands, let's look at their advantages and distinctive features.
- The most well-known fact about LG washing machines is their use of direct drive technology, pioneered by LG engineers. This technology eliminates the need for a transmission belt and makes washing quieter.
- Direct drive motors have a longer service life, which is why the manufacturer provides a 10-year warranty on them. On average, the service life of Korean equipment of this brand is about 8 years.
In some cases, and with proper maintenance, machines can operate without major breakdowns for over 10 years. However, the service life of Chinese- or Russian-made models may be somewhat shorter.
The washing machines use the "6 motions of care" technology, which means that the machine has six different rotation options: basic, reverse, rocking, twisting, saturation, and smoothing.- They come in a variety of designs, allowing consumers to choose the perfect appliance to suit their taste. Models are available in not only white, but also black, silver, and combinations. By comparison, Bosch automatic machines are primarily available in classic white.
- With a wide price range, you can choose from a basic budget model to a machine with the latest innovations, a large number of additional features, increased load capacity, and drying capabilities.
- One of the features of LG machines is the use of True Steam technology – steam processing. Steam can be supplied either during washing using a specific program, or without water, for refreshing and treating items.
Numerous consumer reviews These results suggest that washing machines from this brand offer a good price-quality ratio. Of course, there are those who were extremely unlucky, and their trouble-free service life lasted only four years, after which the heating element had to be replaced.

The choice of which brand to buy is, of course, up to you; we just recommend taking your time and researching everything carefully.

Hello. I have a question: the washing machine was washing and then immediately turned off.
Your washing machine needs cleaning from time to time. I use an Indesit. It works fast and has never had any issues.
The models mentioned in the article are pretty good. But I really liked my Hotpoiht for its price-quality ratio :)
We've had an LG since 2002, no problem. We've now taken it to our rented apartment, and I hope it continues to work there. We'll only buy a new LG; there's no better machine!
