    Overview

    This 8kg front load washing machine from LG is ideally suited for medium-sized families. A range of innovative features delivers an efficient and effective wash, so you spend less time in the laundry and more time for more important things.

    Unlike conventional washers, this machine moves to the beat of its own drum. The 6 Motion Wash technology allows your laundry to be thoroughly cleaned with different movements. Not all fabrics and garments are the same, so this unit uses the ideal combination of motions for specific laundry items. In addition, the smart A.I. Direct Drive motor can detect the characteristics of your load and optimises the wash cycle for better results. The specialised allergy cycle uses steam to eliminate allergens and bacteria, making this washer an excellent option for those who are allergy-prone or have sensitive skin. The LG Smart THINQ technology allows you to use your smartphone to adjust settings whilst you’re out of the house and also runs diagnostics on your washer for hassle-free maintenance.

    For a washing machine that goes above and beyond, look no further than this front load washing machine from LG.
    6 Motion Wash technology for thorough washing

    The Direct Drive motor uses electromagnets for precise rotation, enabling different wash motions. This allows the machine to make motions that are specific to the fabric and laundry type, resulting in meticulously-washed garments.

    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.

    ThinQ

    LG Smart THINQ technology communicates with your smartphone, now you can adjust settings on the fly. The app is compatible with most Android and IOS devices.

    Anti-allergy care

    By using steam to dissolve detergent more thoroughly, this washer leaves less residue on your clothes to irritate sensitive skin. Plus, the steam settings can help remove allergens from your bedding or clothes.

    Regretted buying this
    1. A spanner was missing - took 7 emails, three phone calls and finally received it. Needed the spanner to adjust the legs to be able to do the next step. 2. The hoses are too short. They should be…1.32m I believe … they are 1.22. Spoke to LG. Machine was hooked up to cold only. I measured the second hose. Wasn’t believed. Wanted to dismantle the machine, remove the hose and take a photo side by side. Explained that’s going to take a while. 3. So managed to adjust the legs a little to get the machine out. What I do not understand - if the hose I have is 1.2m and they are identical - why do I have to prove both hoses are too short? So finally got the machine out. Took photos. Sent to LG, the machine’s spin cycle is… horrifying… if you’re in an elevated house. 4. So LG won’t action as it needs approval and they have to watch the video I sent. These are two separate issues. 5. Buried in the manual is a notation about rubber feet. So got feet and when the machine was removed popped them on. It’s actually worse. 6. The machine is using far more electricity as it is using its inbuilt heater to get water so it’s cold washes only. This is just the worst experience I have ever had. I will no longer recommend LG. Useless machine, we had an Electrolux and I wish I’d kept it - the door would stick and not open - that’s gone to AO. If you are elevated avoid. If you have any sort of joinery in your laundry, avoid. Our only option as LG said was to pay a plumber to come and fit a longer hose. They also wanted me to pay to have a spanner sent - it was not with the parts that are meant to be left with the machine. And I would need to remove the joinery! Photo shows hose length and how much shorter the hose is from the tap. The taps are in a standard position to the right of the machine - we’ll have to remove the joinery so the hose can just go straight from left to right.

    Questions & answers

    Can I do cold water wash only. For warm/hot does the machine heat the water or use hot water supply? Wendywu · 2025-01-12
    Hi Wendy, Thank you for your question. This machine requires a dedicated hot water supply if you wish to use a warm/hot water cycle. You are able to run a cold cycle, but will still need to have the machine connected to a hot water connection. Hope this helps. Kind regards Appliances Online Adam Vaccaro, Appliances Online
    Can the water be pumped out of the machine without a sink by a plumber Thanks Gruffly · 2022-12-19
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question with all washing machine installations the drain hose must come up to a certain level to allow the machine to pump the water out you can't lay the hose flat on the ground this will not work this will cause the water to continuously drain out and will not hold water within the wash bowl. If your water inlet and drain outlet are available you do not need a plumber. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Is it necessary to have hot and cold connections Patricia · 2022-11-13
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, if the machine you buy has hot & cold water connections these need to be connected to a water supply if you only have a single cold water connection then you will need to buy a " Y " Connection from a Plumbing store or Bunnings this will allow you to connect both hoses to a single inlet. Bunnings had a good metal Y connection for about $20.00, don't buy the cheap plastic ones. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Hi AO staff, can I choose delivery date. The unit I move in to Brisbane will be available after the 9th of May only. I would like to choose 12th of May delivery for my washing machine, dryer and some other appliances I'd like to buy. Thanks, G Ganczi · 2022-04-30
