LG Electronics’ latest 12kg Steam Washing Machine, F1495BDS, has been rated number one in performance by the UK independent consumer body ‘Which?’. Equipped with LG’s revolutionary 6 Motion Direct Drive technology and proprietary Inverter Direct Drive motor, the washing machine has received first-class reviews from the organisation, beating top class brands from around the world.


LG’s washing machine is the only non-European brand among top ten rankings. Moreover, it has been rated number one for three consecutive years since 2010.

LG’s 12kg Steam Washing Machine, featuring innovative technologies, managed to come in ahead of 23 other brands gathering significant attention from European consumers. They were highly impressed by LG’s 6Motion™ technology – Tumbling, Scrubbing, Filtration, Rolling, Stepping and Swing – which combines all six washing motions in a variety of ways to produce the best results, according to fabric and load size. ‘Which?’ gave the LG washing machine’s Cotton Wash, Easy Care Wash and Spin Drying five stars, the highest score possible in their rating system.
The Inverter Direct Drive motor, a proprietary LG technology, was also given much recognition. Thanks to the elimination of belts and pulleys found in conventional machines, consumers can enjoy the benefits of greater power, reduced energy consumption and lower noise levels. These factors enabled LG’s Washing Machine to achieve impressive four star ratings in the Noise category and both Energy and Water efficiency categories, illustrating the success of LG’s eco-friendly technology.


This 12kg Steam Washing Machine was awarded the Waterwise marque upon it’s European launch back in December 2011 – becoming the first washing machine brand to be awarded the Waterwise marque in recognition of it’s low water consumption! Waterwise has awarded over 60 Marques across a broad spectrum of products from dishwashers to showerheads, from water storing gels for the garden to washing machines!
