[THE INVESTOR] LG Electronics’ washing machines won positive responses from US consumer advocacy magazine Consumer Reports, industry watchers said on June 22.
According to the latest article released by Consumer Reports, LG Electronics was the most reliable brand in three segments, namely high-efficiency top-loaders, front-loaders and compact front-loaders.
Consumer Reports said the research was based on 76,517 washers sold in the United States between 2007 and 2017.
The report said Speed Queen and Roper were the two most reliable agitator top-loader brands.
In terms of compact front-loaders, the magazine said Whirlpool, GE, and Asko were “the three least reliable brands and can‘t be recommended at this time.”
