What type of LG washing machine is this?
The main feature of LG washing machines with steam processing function is the presence of a steam generator (located in the lower rear part of the housing of household appliances). It is he who turns water into steam, which is supplied through a special rubber tube to the drum of the washing machine.
One end of the tube is fixed above the loading hatch, and the second is connected to the steam generator. Steam supply is possible both during washing and when starting the “Refreshment” mode (in this case, water is not supplied to the tank, and items are processed only with steam).
Advantages and disadvantages
An LG washing machine with steam is an expensive technique (about a third more expensive compared to washing machines of similar power, but without steam).
But the high cost of household appliances completely pays off with many positive properties:
The steam washing mode allows you to save water and electricity (compared to a conventional washing machine, consumption is halved).- Steaming clothes is a salvation for people with severe respiratory diseases who are prone to allergies (the risk of particles of powder and other detergents getting from clothes into the human body is completely eliminated).
- The temperature of the steam is several times higher than the temperature maximum of water required for normal washing. As a result, all pathogenic bacteria, mold spores and other allergens are destroyed in the fabric fibers.
- Steaming helps restore softness and fluffiness to terry items.
- Steam treatment completely eliminates unpleasant odors of mustiness and dampness, which regular washing cannot always remove.
- Using a steam washing machine helps you save on dry cleaning services (any clothes can be cleaned at home).
- Steaming dry laundry greatly simplifies the ironing process.
- Delicate treatment with hot “fog” helps preserve the original appearance of clothing for as long as possible.
Despite the many positive properties of steam washing machines, several negative points can still be noted.
The first is cost.. Not everyone can afford to buy such expensive household appliances (for comparison, a regular washing machine can cost two to three times less).
The second point is the limited range. LG began producing steam washing machines not so long ago, so the range of such household appliances is very limited. But the manufacturer is constantly improving its product, replenishing the line of steam washing machines with new, improved models.
