Washing Machines
Let’s start our exploration of LG laundry features with the handiest laundry appliance: washing machines.
TurboWash™360˚
An evolution of LG’s TurboWash™ system that washes half loads in just 59 minutes, TurboWash™360˚ reduces wash times to just 39 minutes!
A high-pressure Jet Spray shoots jets of water in 4 different directions in the drum to reach every inch of your laundry. The drum gets filled quickly, soaking your clothes wherever they are.
The TurboWash™360˚ works alongside an inverter pump that intelligently changes the water stream from a high angled, powerful spray to a lower angle with a soft spray.
This results in water and detergent reaching your laundry faster and reduced rinsing times. Say hello to a beautiful clean that is super energy efficient!
LG Steam
LG steam washing machines introduce high-temperature steam into the drum of your washing machine to break down dirt and grime.
The steam then begins to loosen stains and kill germs within the fabric’s deepest layers as the detergent is transformed into a mist that deeply penetrates the fibres.
Steam washing machines are excellent for refreshing your favourite clothes without overwhelming them with water – this makes your clothes a lot softer and hygienic!
With a focus on combating allergies and eliminating bacteria (up to 99.9%!), steam washing machines are also a great pick for eco-conscious households.
AI Direct Drive™
LG smart washing machines with AI Direct Drive™ (AI DD) use intelligent technology to automatically determine the best settings for each load. This is based on the weight and softness of your fabrics.
AI DD does most of the hard work for you and preserves the quality of your clothing over time.
The key benefits of AI DD technology are:
- Optimised washing and enhanced garment care.
- Reduced noise and vibration when in operation.
- Fabric and load type versatility.
- Weight and fabric type sensors.
- Fabric damage prevention.
- AI DD continuously learns and improves over time.
ezDispense™
Designed to work alongside the AI Direct Drive™, ezDispense automatically adds the correct amount of detergent needed for each load.
The combination of ezDispense and AI DD ensures each load is cleaned and handled with care. Together, they make the perfect team!
Inverter DirectDrive Motor™
LG’s innovative Inverter DirectDrive Motor is an outer-rotor motor that is attached directly to the washing machine drum.
This eliminates your washing machine’s need for belts or pulley’s. This then reduces vibration and increases durability.
Tumble Dryers
Tumble dryers from LG combine smart technology with effective performance. Let’s take a look at their handiest features…
DUAL Inverter Heat Pump™
LG Heat pump (also called ventless or condenser) tumble dryers recycle warm air to dry each load, making them a very energy efficient appliance.
LG tumble dryers with a DUAL Inverter Heat Pump feature two cylinders that use a range of circulation speeds.
Heat pump dryers reduce energy consumption and can dry clothes in as little as 30 minutes with minimal vibration.

Allergy Care
The Allergy Care cycle on LG tumble dryers reduces allergens and bacteria (the cause of allergy or respiratory issues) by up to 99.9%.
Allergy Care is designed to improve the quality of life in your home by sanitising your clothes and removing dust mites.
Washer Dryers
Investing in an LG Washer Dryer can help save time, space and effort. Here are some of our favourite LG washer dryer features.
SenseClean
LG’s SenseClean system detects the weight of your laundry and automatically sets the water level and wash time that will best suit each load.
SenseClean is an incredibly useful function as it works to reduce our water and energy consumption.
It also helps to maintain the quality of your clothing, towels and bedding!
Sanitary Cycle
LG’s Sanitary Cycle uses high temperatures to remove up to 99.9% of bacteria and effectively clean heavily soiled items.
Sanitise uses 158˚ hot water for washing and cold for rinsing – protecting fabrics from damage and energy over-consumption.
For households with children, this cycle is especially handy.
LG ThinQ
ThinQ is LG’s smart home appliance hub. It connects all of your smart LG appliances to your smartphone via the ThinQ app.
When it comes to LG washing machines, tumble dryers and washer dryers, the ThinQ app is a great way to make sure your appliance is working the best it can be. You can monitor each cycle on your phone, even when you aren’t at home!
You can download customised wash cycles via the ThinQ app, providing specialised care for every item you have. ThinQ also allows you to manage your wash with voice control technology via voice activated AI speakers on your appliance.
To connect your LG appliance to the ThinQ app, simply:
- Download the ThinQ app from the App Store or Google Play store.
- Use the in-app scanner to scan the QR code on your LG laundry appliance (enter your model’s serial number in the app if you don’t have a QR code).
