LG washing machines here are all freestanding, with drum sizes from 9 kg to 13 kg. That spread suits a couple washing a few loads a week as well as a large household getting through towels and bedding in bulk. Every machine has an A energy rating. Finishes include white, matte black, slate grey and onyx black, and you can browse the same selection on our LG freestanding washing machines page.
Most models use LG's AI Direct Drive motor. It senses how big the load is and what the fabric is like, then adjusts the drum's movement to suit, so delicate shirts and heavy jeans each get a sensible wash. Most machines spin at 1400 rpm, though there are 1200 rpm options at 9 kg and a 1350 rpm Series 4 Pro. Wash programmes range from 8 on the simpler machines to 24 on the 11 kg Series 7.
Smart features vary. Many of the Series machines are internet connected, so you can start and check a wash from your phone, and the LG ThinQ app adds extra programmes on at least one model. Others leave out Wi-Fi but have an A spin efficiency rating instead of B. That means clothes come out a little drier, which helps with drying time whether you use a line or a dryer. Some 10 kg machines have TurboWash for quicker cycles, and a 13 kg Series 7 model adds Autodose, which measures detergent automatically from a built-in tank.
Start with drum size: 9 kg covers most families, 11 kg suits bigger households and 13 kg copes with duvets in one go. Then choose between app control and a better spin rating, as here they rarely come together. If you have no room for two machines, take a look at LG washer dryers, or pair your new washer with one of the LG tumble dryers.
