LG in a nutshell

LG Electronics is a South Korean group, very well known here for its televisions (see our LG television hub) and, in home appliances, for its washing machine and its fridges. Its local subsidiary, LG Electronics Benelux, is based in Edegem, near Antwerp.

LG's technical signature is the Direct Drive motor : the motor is mounted directly on the washing machine drum, with no belt or pulley. LG has used it since the late 1990s and has developed it into theAI DD, which adapts the drum movements to the laundry. For cooling, LG relies on its Inverter compressors and on theInstaView, a glass panel that lights up when you knock on it twice.

The LG models sold at Nimestore are often those from the French market. You won't always find them under the same name on LG's Belgian website. The appliance is very similar; it's the technical specification that matters.

LG laundry: the brand's strong point

With 28 appliances, laundry is the heart of the LG range here. All washing machines have a Direct Drive motor. Entry-level models (N and B series, 8 and 9 kg) have the classic Inverter Direct Drive, often with the steam. R and X models move up to theAI DD, with 9 to 13 kg, and some add automatic dispensing ezDispense or quick washing TurboWash 360.

On the drying side, there are two families: heat pump dryers of 8 and 9 kg, and very large 18 kg models with a Dual Inverter compressor. And for those short on floor space, the WashTower stacks a washing machine and a dryer in a single column controlled by a central panel.

All the details, series by series, are in our LG laundry page.

LG cooling: from fridge-freezers to InstaView

The GBF3102DPY fridge-freezer: Linear Cooling and DoorCooling+ for a stable temperature.
  • Fridge-freezers : four models from 333 to 375 litres, priced from €699.99 to €949.99, class D or E, 35 dB.
  • Single door and upright freezer : a 386-litre fridge and a 324-litre freezer, to be paired side by side.
  • 2 doors : the GTD7850PS1, 506 litres with the freezer on top.
  • American-style : from €1,599.99 to €2,699.99, with ice dispenser, and on some models Door-in-Door or the InstaView glass panel.
  • Multi-door : from €1,999.99 to €2,999.99, including the 508-litre InstaView models.

The full comparison is in our LG cooling page.

LG in the kitchen: just two appliances

LG is very low-key in the kitchen at Nimestore:

  • DF030FL dishwasher (€499.99): freestanding, 13 place settings, class E, 46 dB, 9.9 litres of water per cycle, 8 programmes. A simple model, without Wi-Fi.
  • WS5D7230S built-in oven (€699.99): 72 litres, class A, with a AirFry for crispy results like an air fryer. Check the cleaning method on the product page.

For a complete kitchen, you will need to pair another brand for the hob and hood, or choose a more economical dishwasher. Our guides help you compare.

LG ThinQ: the app

Most recent LG appliances connect to Wi-Fi and are controlled with the free app LG ThinQ. It lets you start or monitor a cycle, download programmes, track energy use and, above all, use Smart Diagnosis : if something goes wrong, the phone reads the appliance's status and suggests a fix. With a compatible washing machine and dryer, Smart Pairing automatically selects the right drying programme. Note: not all entry-level models have Wi-Fi.

LG warranty and after-sales service in the UK

  • Legal guarantee : 2 years from the seller, so from Nimestore.
  • LG warranty : 2 years standard, parts and labour, through an LG-approved service centre.
  • 10-year guarantee on the part : LG Benelux adds 96 months on the Direct Drive motor (washing machines and washer-dryers), the Dual Inverter compressor (dryers) and the Linear and Smart Inverter compressors (fridges and freezers). Labour is chargeable after 2 years, and the original invoice is required.
  • LG Premium Care Plus : an extension offered by LG, up to 5 years in total including accidental damage, to be taken out within 30 days of purchase, directly with LG.

LG Benelux's conditions apply to appliances bought in the Benelux. For any question about your model's warranty, pop into the shop or ask our expert salesperson. The details are in our LG maintenance and after-sales page.

C
Clément's tip

At LG, the Direct Drive motor comes as standard from the £499.99 washing machine. If your budget is tight, it's an excellent starting point. If you can stretch a little, the AI DD and the large door on R models are worth the extra for gentler treatment of your laundry. And keep your invoice safe: without it, there's no 10-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Is LG a good appliance brand?

Yes, especially for washing machines and fridges. LG is known for its Direct Drive motors and Inverter compressors, guaranteed for 10 years for the part, and for how quiet its appliances are.

What does LG's 10-year warranty cover?

After the standard 2-year warranty, LG Benelux still guarantees the part alone for 8 years: the Direct Drive motor of washing machines, the compressor of Dual Inverter heat-pump dryers and the compressor of fridges. Labour is chargeable after 2 years.

Does Nimestore sell LG dishwashers and ovens?

One of each: the DF030FL dishwasher (13 place settings) and the WS5D7230S built-in oven (72 litres, AirFry). For the rest of the kitchen, you'll need to pair it with another brand.

Why do Nimestore's LG model numbers differ from the Belgian LG website?

Nimestore often stocks models from the French market. The appliance is very similar, but the name changes. Compare the technical specifications rather than the model number.

What is the LG WashTower?

A tower that combines a washing machine and a heat-pump dryer, with a single control panel in the middle. It takes up the floor space of just one appliance.
