LG Electronics Inc. swept the top three spots in the major categories of the US Consumer Reports Best Washing Machines of 2024 evaluation.

The evaluated categories included front loaders, HE top-loaders, and agitator top-loaders, all dominated by LG Electronics.

Although Miele topped the niche market for compact drum washers, LG Electronics excelled with its products consistently delivering superior washing performance, water, and energy efficiency.

Consumer Reports formulates these rankings based on consumer surveys and independent testing. The surveyed consumers are actual users of the appliances and other products sold in the US.

Consumer Reports' evaluation concluded that LG Electronics washers consistently provide excellent washing performance, efficient water usage, and energy efficiency.

LG Electronics' drum washers dominated the first to third places with an average overall score of 87 points. In particular, the WM3900HWA model took first place, receiving the highest owner satisfaction and reliability ratings.

Moreover, LG Electronics' products were recognized under Consumer Reports' 'Green Choice,' a designation given to top-performing products based on tests that include water and energy efficiency, brand reliability, and the softness of laundry post-wash.

LG Electronics' technological prowess, labeled 'CoreTech,' has also led their washers and dryers to top positions across multiple categories, including drum washer and dryer sets and agitator models.
