Anonymous verified purchaser , “5 kids, 6 pets!”

Score 10.0/10

+ Absolutley silent even when its spinning at 1400 rpm. I get more noise from the water flowing through the drain! The drum size is huge and for my large family it has cut the loads in half so the extended wash time is countered by that.

- The child lock only works when the machine is engaged in a cycle and when you turn on the machine it turns on pretty lights, so my son thinks its highly amusing to switch the machine on and off.

+ Its extremally stylish which was my main priority, we havent used all the programmes yet but so far we are really pleased with it. Its much quieter than our last machine and I like the larger drum which should enable us to wash our quilts.

- I havent come across any bad points other than its not one of the cheapest machines. Some people have commented that it sticks out but this has not proved a problem for us.

My son is fascinated by the moving t-shirt display. Extra features such as crease care and being able to adjust spin are great. Thinking about getting the dryer to match.

- Some of the cycles are a little long and difficult to know how much liquid you are pouring into the compartment. Otherwise that's it. Great machine.

Washing Machines Buyers Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

Large capacity, sleek and compact, energy savings, removes wrinkles iron-free.

9kg Wash Capacity, 1400rpm Variable Spin
Steam Direct Drive

Steam Wash
Steam cleans better than water.
How can steam penetrate more effectively then water? It’s surprisingly simple. The molecules of steam are smaller, hotter, and more active. So steam gets between fibres to dissolve dirt, remove odours, and destroy allergens. Steam also takes less time to do a better job, because it reaches higher temperatures more quickly.

Reduces Allergens
Certified to remove allergens.
Steam’s high temperature dissolves the irritants that can harm sensitive skin. The Allergy Care cycle maintains a temperature of 60° Celsius for 10 minutes inside the drum, helping you effectively remove allergens.

Direct Drive
True beauty comes from the inside.
Conventional washing machines use what we call an exterior motor. It’s located outside the drum, with lots of parts to replace, lots of vibration, and lots of noise. But LG Steam is hardly conventional. Because LG Steam’s Direct Drive™ Motor is directly attached to the centre of the MegaDrum.

The New Drum
Each element of the drum works together to clean better.
LG Steam’s ergonomic drum comes in two sizes: big (8kg) and bigger (9kg). A bigger drum improves the quality of your wash. Clothes move with fewer tangles and more churning action.

Reduces Creases
Steam refreshes your clothes in just 20 minutes.
Let’s say you want to go out tonight wearing the same dress or shirt your wore today, but it’s sweaty or creased. No problem. With Steam Refresh, your outfit is ready to wear fast, with fewer creases and odours.

Easy Control
Bigger LCD screen. Simpler controls.
LG Steam’s control panel provides you with more information about the status of your wash and shows you all ways the Steam can care for your clothes.

Cycles and Options
Every cycle is a benefit.
Different items – and different people in your home – have different washing needs. That’s why LG Steam gives you more cycles and more options than any other washer in its class.
