Every family needs something different when it comes to choosing a washing machine. To help you decide on the best washing machine for you, we’ve compiled a guide to washers by one of the biggest and best known appliance manufacturers out there: LG. Whether you have a very big family, a member of your family suffers from allergies, or you’re concerned about the environment – or all of the above – there’s an LG washing machine out there for you.

Saving water and electricity

Installing high-efficiency washing machines like those by LG can reduce your family’s water consumption by up to 30 per cent. Besides being good for the environment, reduced water consumption will also be good for your pocket. Switching to a more efficient washing machine can save you around £11 on electricity bills a year, and your carbon footprint will also be considerably lower.

The size of your family

The first thing to consider when choosing a washing machine is the size of your family. A bigger family needs a bigger washing machine, but at the same time, you don’t want your utility bills to skyrocket. LG washing machines can handle the biggest of families, or wash small, single loads economically. For a big family, take a look at the LG F1443KD Direct Drive. It has an A++ Energy Star Rating, and takes an 11kg load. For the single person, the 7 kg LG F1256QD Direct Drive, with an A+ Energy Star rating, is a good option. An 8-10 kg washing machine is recommended for a family of medium size, but for any family that washes often, a smaller washing machine will be your best bet.

Allergies

If someone in your family suffers from allergies, your family needs a washing machine approved by the British Allergy Foundation. Many LG washing machines have the British Allergy Seal of Approval, because they reduce allergens your family will be exposed to by the washing process. If you’re looking for British Allergy Approved washing machine, try a steam washer like the LG F1403FDS5.
