    Life’s good when laundry chores are simple and seamless. Enhanced with artificial intelligence technology, this LG 8kg Front Load Washer offers thorough garment care by assessing the specific needs of each load.

    This washer uses a combination of six motions to ensure a better clean for your clothes. From stepping and scrubbing, to tumbling and rolling, stubborn dirt is no match on heavily soiled items, while delicate textiles are gently washed. If you forget to add a garment, LG’s handy Pause function enables you to stop a load mid-cycle to add to the wash. For additional convenience, you can connect this washer with LG’s ThinQ technology so you can remotely start or monitor your washing.

    Equipped with LG’s Inverter Direct Drive Motor, this machine is engineered to deliver reliable and quiet washing while maximising durability. Plus, the tempered glass door and stainless steel are made with tough, high-quality materials to optimise the washer’s longevity.
    Direct Drive motor with Artificial Intelligence

    This washing machine uses an A.I. Direct Drive motor. This intelligent system detects the weight and fabric softness of your load and optimises the wash motions for better care and clean of your garments.

    Allergy Care with Steam

    This LG washer harnesses the power of steam to open up the fibres on your garments to help to remove common allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and bacteria. Whether you’re allergy-prone or simply want a more hygienic wash, LG’s steam function can enhance your laundry care.

    6 Motion Direct Drive technology

    Using a combination of six motions based on hand-washing, this machine delivers extra care for your garments, while ensuring a thorough clean.

    Narrow depth for a perfect fit

    Whether you have a small laundry or you’re restricted in space, this washing machine offers a generous capacity but with a narrow machine depth of 475mm to fit neatly into spaces with limited depth.

    Worst after sale experience
    Disappointing experience with LG. Issues started from day one after purchase in September. My washing machine has been leaking for over 4 months, with multiple technician visits but no resolution. Despite this, LG continues to request additional videos instead of taking ownership, even though their own technician was unable to identify the cause. The process has been slow, repetitive, and lacking clear accountability. This is not the only LG product I own, and unfortunately the overall quality and after-sales support have been inconsistent. I will be escalating this matter to the relevant consumer authority.

    Questions & answers

    Our old LG had a Bio Care option it’s disappeared in this model. Which mode would be closest? Quoll · 2025-10-19
    Hello there, the Allergy Care (with Steam) cycle on this machine would be the comparable cycle on this machine =) Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Why does this machine need hot and cold taps Reviews say most machines only need cold? Binny · 2025-06-09
    Hi Binny, that is true - most front load washing machines only require a cold water connection as they heat the water themselves (as most dishwashers do). Unfortunately, though, this machine is an exception to that. Kind regards, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    What is the compatible dryer that could stack with this washing machine? Teresa · 2025-02-22
    Hi Teresa, unfortunately this model is not compatible for stacking with any of LG's current heat pump dryers. The washing machine isn't deep enough to securely hold the dryer in place. It is recommended that this washing machine is arranged side by side. Kind regards, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    What material is the spider arm made from? Jackie27 · 2025-01-26
    Hi Jackie, the internal material of this machine is stainless steel. Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
