LG Electronics USA, believed to be the fastest-growing appliance player in the U.S. commercial laundry market, has unveiled a new series of top-load washers built on the direct-drive motor technology pioneered by the company.  

Shown for the first time at The Clean Show, North America’s largest commercial laundry trade show (Aug. 23-26 in Orlando), the 27-inch high-efficiency top-loaders build on LG’s position as America’s most reliable and #1 appliance brand, according to OpenBrand MindShare (AHAM Core 6) 2024-2025.

The new coin- and card-operated models incorporate LG’s advanced Inverter Direct Drive motor. Perfected by LG over the past two decades, the direct-drive motor system is covered by a 5-year limited warranty. 

Superior durability and reliability are top considerations for businesses, landlords and schools deploying commercial washers and dryers, according to Sam Kim, president of appliance solutions, LG Electronics USA.  

“With LG’s reputation for quality, these top-load washers, as well as their front-load cousins and their companion gas and electric dryers, are well positioned to serve the dynamic U.S. vended market,” he said. 

The machines also feature LG’s innovative Gyro Balancing System with 3D Sensor that precisely monitor drum movement to reduce motion, vibration and noise – extending component lifespan and ensuring smooth, stable operation.  

Ideal for high-usage environments, the units offer fast cycle times, rapid spin initiation and a front-access design that simplifies maintenance by allowing most servicing to be done without disassembly, minimizing downtime and improving technician efficiency.
