- LG 10kg Inverter Direct Drive Top Load Washer
The Delay Start function in this washer is perfect for people who are short on time, since it will start and stop a cycle so that it is ready to dry when you wake up or get home from a long day.
Motors with direct drive and inverters have fewer moving components, which extends their longevity. They are more energy-efficient and run more silently because their motor rotates the washing machine's drum directly.
