In front-load washing machines, LG was again the top brand globally in 2014 for the sixth consecutive year with 14.7 percent market share  and number one in the highly competitive U.S. market for the eighth straight year,  according to Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Home Appliance & Air Solution Company, in a statement at the weekend.
He said the success of LG washers can be attributed to a number of innovative advances in washer technology.
“For example, the Direct Drive motor, attached directly to the washer’s drum, which increases performance and durability. LG’s 6 Motion technology has a touch as delicate as hand washing, helping to reduce wrinkles and damage to clothes. Another important innovation has been the TurboWash™ technology, which uses high pressure water particles that dramatically reduce washing time.
“This year, LG plans to continue its leadership in home laundry with innovative products such as the world’s first front-load washing machine with TWIN Wash. This revolutionary design enables two separate loads to be washed simultaneously. With a space-efficient “mini washer” in the pedestal, overall cycle times are reduced with fewer loads required.  
“LG has been able to dominate the global market through constant development of innovative washing machine technology and design, especially our 6 Motion Direct Drive motor and TurboWash™ technologies. Innovative features, reliable performance and outstanding design continue to be key selling points for LG premium appliances, and customers seem to agree’, he said.
