Features and Technologies Comparison-LG VS Whirlpool Washing Machine

LG Washing Machine Features:

6 Motion DD: 

The LG 6 Motion DD washing machine is one of the best washing machines in India in terms of washing quality. The washing machine has 6 different motions which allow the machine to clean your clothes thoroughly. These 6 motions are: 

1) Forward & Backward Wash 

2) Left & Right Wash 

3) Wave Wash 

4) Swing Wash 

5) Twirl Wash 

6) Pulsator Wash The cleaning system in the LG washing machine is superior to the Whirlpool washing machine. 

LG 6 motion DD washing machine uses the ‘Turbospin’ technology while Whirlpool uses the ‘Pulse Wave’ technology. Both the technologies are quite different and the differences may be noticed in the cleaning performance of the machines.

Inverter Control: 

Inverter control is a feature used in washing machines to increase the speed of the motor. The motor runs at a constant speed and as a result, the noise produced by the machine also remains constant. 

The inverter control in the LG washing machine helps in maintaining a constant speed and noise level while washing clothes. This feature not only makes your washing machine more efficient but also helps to reduce the load on your power supply lines.

Tub Clean: 

The tub clean feature in the LG washing machine allows you to clean the inner portion of the drum. 

This helps to remove detergent and grime deposits that get stuck on the inner surface of the drum. It is very difficult to clean the inside of a washing machine drum and hence this feature helps a lot in keeping your washing machine clean and hygienic.

Smart Diagnosis System: 

LG washing machines come with an advanced ‘Smart Diagnosis System’ which helps you identify the need for service in your machine and even suggests a solution to resolve the issue. 

The Smart Diagnosis System in the LG washing machine is a boon for users as it not only saves you from paying unnecessary service charges to the service center but also saves you from the hassles of servicing your machine at home. 

The Smart Diagnosis System in the LG washing machine can be divided into two parts: 1) Self Service Mode: 2) Remote Service Mode: 

1) Self Service Mode: 

The Self Service Mode in the LG washing machine helps you to troubleshoot the issues in your machine by yourself.

 For example, if your machine is not spinning or is making unusual noises while washing, you can use this mode to troubleshoot the issue by yourself. You can find out more about how to troubleshoot your LG washing machine by yourself from this link . 

You can also contact LG customer care and ask for help with LG Smart Diagnosis System. They will be happy to help you and may even tell you exactly what is wrong with your machine. 

2) Remote Service Mode: 

The Remote Service Mode in the LG washing machine gives you access to the internet and you can use it to troubleshoot your machine remotely. 

For example, let’s say you are not at home and your washing machine stops working while washing clothes. In such a case, you can use the remote service mode in your washing machine to connect to a remote expert and ask him for help. The remote expert can even access your machine via the internet if he wants. 

He will be able to diagnose the issue remotely and help you resolve it accordingly. This feature is especially useful when you are out of station and need urgent help with your machine.

Touch Panel:

LG has made some useful changes to its touch panel interface which helps users to operate their machines easily. The new touch panel interface comes with a ‘Power On/Off’ button which helps you turn on power to your machine once it is turned off. You can also adjust the temperature, spin speed, etc from the touch panel itself while operating the machine.

Whirlpool Washing Machine Features:

The Whirlpool 6th Sense technology is designed to provide you with a perfectly clean wash every time. 2 extra sensors are added to monitor the entire wash process.
