Know before you buy
Yes, this model is designed for use with High Efficiency (HE) detergent. Using standard detergent can create excess suds that may interfere with the machine's sensors and cleaning performance.
TurboWash 3D uses powerful water jets and a dynamic tub motion to penetrate fabrics more effectively. This allows for a thorough clean in less time compared to traditional wash cycles.
Yes, thanks to built-in ThinQ technology, you can monitor your wash cycles, receive alerts, and start or stop the machine directly from your smartphone using the LG ThinQ app.
Absolutely. With a 5.5 cu. ft. capacity, this washer is spacious enough to handle large loads, including king-sized comforters and bulky bedding, with ease.
The stainless steel tub is more durable than plastic alternatives and is resistant to rust, chips, and nicks. It also helps prevent odors and bacteria buildup, keeping your washer cleaner over time.
This model uses automatic water level sensing to optimize efficiency based on the load size. However, it also includes a Deep Fill option if you prefer to add extra water for particularly large or heavily soiled items.
