LG has announced a new washing machine with a 5-star energy rating which is certified by BEE. LG has now become the first in the industry with 5-star rated products across its portfolio. The new LG washing machine is powered with a smart inverter motor that optimizes energy consumption and offers 30 percent more energy saving. In addition, it uses 40 percent less water than other washing machines available in the market. The installed motor is protected with a BMC feature that saves the machine from dust, insects, and humidity.

LG’s new machine is with 6 motion direct drive technology which is driven by six different wash programs. The technology also identifies the type of fabric and provides different washes for different types of clothes. In addition, jet spray allows water to enter with more power to remove water and excessive detergent. The machine is offering two types of modes, smart motion, and TurboDrum. Smart Motion provides washing performance with three tub movements that are controlled by smart inverter. And TurboDrum offers a strong water stream of rotating drum to remove dirt from clothes by moving in the opposite direction.

There are a variety of wash programs in the model including Fuzzy, Air Dry, Wool, Child Lock, Silent, Tub Clean, Jeans, Favorite, Quick Wash, Smart Cleaning and Delay. LG is also offering 10 years of warranty with the new machine. This model of the washing machine would prove as one of the best washing machines available in the market. For a safety measure, the machine has an auto-restart option, auto pre-wash, and standby power save.
