This compact top-loading washer in classic white is ideal for any home where space is a premium commodity. Perfect for apartment living or anywhere with limited laundry space this washer's range of features have been designed to save you valuable time and effort.

Thanks to the Direct Drive System this washing machine is incredibly quiet to operate. The LG Inverter Direct Drive System reduces mechanical noise by removing the brush and belt from the motor. And because the motor is attached directly to the drum there are fewer vibrations - giving you a smoother more stable performance.

The user-friendly LED display allows you to select the most appropriate wash program to suit your load and there is also a delay start function. Plus this machine is extremely water efficient without compromising on wash results. Other features include I-Sensor technology a turbo drum and fuzzy logic control.
Silent operation
Unique to LG the Direct Drive motor is quiet and produces fewer vibrations which improves stability and reduces wear and tear on moving parts.
Fuzzy logic control
This washing machine has in-built sensors that detect how much power and water is needed to deliver the best possible wash. Fuzzy logic helps to improve efficiency and conserve energy.
For parents
Keep your family safe and protect your laundry from curious hands by locking down your washer controls.
Digital LED display
The easy-to-read display will show you the status of the wash and the amount of time left. It also allows you to set a time delay of 3 to 48 hours.

Love it !!
My old LG bit the dust after 11 years, and I wanted the same again, and my new version doesn't disappoint. I've only got a cold tap, and the results are great, and it even ha a bit more capacity than the old model.....really very pleased with it, and the AO team are superb from help line to delivery!!

Your website is excellent
Just a note to say a big thank you for your execution of the above order. It was only last Thursday that we came across your website, found a great price compared with **** and ****, then and placed our order on Friday. Your website is excellent – easy to follow – great follow up with order confirmation, notes on delivery and removal of our existing washing machine. As promised, Adam rang about 7.30am to advise anticipated delivery, he and Ali quickly removed the old machine and installed and balanced the new one, took away packing materials. Thanks to them for their courtesy and efficiency. Your company will be our first call when we are looking for our next purchase. Maureen, Kiama, NSW
I don't think I've ever received service like this!
I can't recommend Appliances Online enough! I ordered and paid for my purchase in less than five minutes, could choose a day for (free!) delivery and got a highly competitive price for my new washing machine. The company texted the night before to confirm the scheduled delivery and called by 08:30 to confirm the two-hour window within which they'd deliver..how nice not to have to stay in all morning! The delivery guys were super professional and courteous, took away the old machine and packaging for the new one (again at with charge), moved the new machine into place and connected it for me. I don't think I've ever received service like this.and if I have, then not for many years. A 2014 purchase with the latest technology but with good old-fashioned reliable service with a smile. I'd highly recommend them and will definitely use them again Jaine Edge, MAYLANDS WA
Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing...I have dealt with a lot of online companies but nothing comes close to Appliances Online, from the first point of contact to when we picked up our item it ran without a hitch and every person I spoke with was professional and friendly. I honestly can not thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making all of this such an easy process. There are no words I can think of that would do your company justice, your prices are unbeatable and your service second to none...I thank god I found your site, whatever or whoever is running this polished company keep up the good work as there is no other company here in Australia that even comes close to you guys...Thank you Thank you and Thank you again.... Lisa, Baulkham Hills, NSW

What depth is required to accommodate this machine once the hoses are attached to the back? I understand that the depth dimension is 540mm, but is that the same when all the hoses are attached? SuperXSwami · 2016-06-23

Is the Agitator on the bottom of the Drum or on the back wall finickity · 2015-09-04
Hello, Thank you for your product enquiry regarding the LG WTH550 5.5kg Top Load Washing Machine. All LG top-loading machines do not feature agitators; instead, LG have devised a technology that simulates the same action of an agitator, swirling water through the clothing and providing a similarly comprehensive wash. Please feel free to contact us if you would like any more help or information. Kind regards, Alexander Customer Support Consultant alexander.chetner, Appliances Online
