LG automatic washing machinesThere are so many washing machines of different brands on the household appliances market. Bosch, AEG, Samsung, Ariston, Indesit, Beko, Candy, LG - the list goes on, and it is sometimes difficult to make a choice among such a variety.

However, we note that washing machines of different brands have their own characteristics; these are not only differences in the price range and design, which we perceive first. These include technological developments and innovations introduced into technology.

An automatic washing machine from LG, we decided to dedicate this article to it and figure out what the advantages of such a machine are, what its service life is, and also consider the model range of machines and compare the characteristics of different copies.

The history of the appearance of washing machines of this brand

The origins of the LG brand and its history begin in 1947, when the Lak Hui Chemica company appeared in South Korea, which began producing tooth powder, face cream and other hygiene products. Until 1953, the company successfully sold its products, constantly increasing production volumes. For the first time, this company used plastic in the production of packaging for products. In 1958, Koo Ying Hoi opened a subsidiary, Gold Star, to produce radios. From this time on, the development of the company’s technical direction began.

LG plantIn parallel with technical developments, Koo Ying Hoi went into the oil refining business and opened a plastics production plant. Unlike European enterprises, the first washing machine appeared in Korean only in 1969., at the same time elevators and air conditioners were released.In the 70s of the 20th century, Gold Star produced its own microcircuits, resulting in cassette recorders and color television.

By the 90s, the company became famous throughout the world; household appliances were assembled in the USA, Great Britain, Egypt, Thailand and the Philippines. In 1995, the Gold Star brand was renamed Lucky Group, abbreviated LG. Today it is a huge corporation with factories and branches around the world, the main office is in Seoul.

In Russia, LG washing machines have been assembled since 2005 at a plant in the Moscow region.

Advantages of washing machines

To compare LG automatic washing machines with machines of other brands, let’s look at their advantages and distinctive features.

  • The most famous fact regarding LG washing machines is the use of direct drive technology, which was pioneered by LG engineers. This technology eliminates the need for a transmission belt and makes washing less noisy.
  • Direct drive motors have a longer service life, which is why the manufacturer gives them a 10-year warranty. On average, the service life of Korean equipment of this brand is about 8 years.

    In some cases, and with proper operation, machines can operate without serious breakdowns for more than 10 years. But the service life of a Chinese or Russian-assembled model may be slightly shorter.

  • automatic machine LGWashing machines use the “6 care movements” technology, which means that the machine has six different rotation options: basic, reverse, rocking, twisting, saturating, smoothing.
  • They have a variety of designs, the consumer can choose the equipment to his liking.There are models not only in white, but also in black, silver, as well as combined models. For comparison: Bosch automatic washing machines are presented mainly in classic white color.
  • Wide price range, you can choose both a basic budget model and a machine with the latest innovations, a large number of additional functions, increased loading and drying capabilities.
  • One of the features of LG machines is the use of True Steam technology - steam treatment. Steam can be supplied both during washing at a certain program, and without water, as a refresher and treatment of products.

Numerous consumer reviews allow us to conclude that washing machines of this brand have a good price-quality ratio. Of course, there are those who were very unlucky, and the uninterrupted service life was only 4 years, after which they had to change the heating element.
