Direct Drive Washing Machines

Direct Drive (or inverter) washing machine motors do not include belts, chains or gearboxes. Instead, they use their motor to directly rotate the washing machine's drum.

Direct Drive motors use energy more efficiently than standard designs, which is good news for your home's running costs. They also operate more quietly than typical washing machines, for a more peaceful home. Finally, because they use fewer moving parts, there is less wear and tear on the appliance, resulting in a longer overall lifespan.

Direct Drive washing machines are available in both front loader and top loader designs, so no matter the layout of your laundry, you can benefit from their energy-efficient operation.

Brands such as LG, Samsung and Fisher & Paykel all produce Direct Drive washing machines, with more appliance manufacturers developing new models all the time.
