The data also revealed that LG has been the top-selling washing machine brand for five years in major Asian countries including key markets such as Australia, India, Thailand and Indonesia and in a host of other countries, such as Chile, Saudi Arabia and the Ukraine. In addition, LG’s front-loading washing machines have been the best-selling front loaders in the world for the last two years, and the top sellers in the United States for the last four.

“LG washing machines are increasingly known as some of the most innovative on the market, with their smart tech, great performance and high convenience all proving a big hit with consumers,” said Young-ha Lee, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “Today’s achievement is a tribute to the spirit of innovation at LG, along with our total dedication to listening to our customers and making their lives

better.”

LG’s latest washing machines set new standards in convenience and efficiency, with technologies that look to make washing more effective and hassle free.

its Inverter Direct Drive™ motors.

Whereas most front-load washers only have one motion – tumbling – LG’s innovative 6 Motion Technology allows the drum to tailor each load from a combination of six unique motions: rolling, stepping, swing, scrubbing, filtration and tumbling. Additionally, 6 Motion Technology works in conjunction with ColdWash™, which penetrates deep into fabrics using only cold water to provide a wash every bit as thorough as with warm water, but using significantly less energy.
