There is a washing machine in the laundry room, and there is an Iverter DirectDrive motor next to it.

Our tech excellence

LG Inverter DirectDrive™ continues to evolve with 6 Motion DD™ and Deep-learning AI DD™ through nonstop research and development.

The quiet magic of cozy nighttime laundry 

Want the convenience of washing clothes on your own schedule?

Connecting the motor directly to the washing machine not only reduces the number of parts but also noise. Components such as springs, friction dampers, balance weights, and vibration sensors work together to lower the vibration and noise. So, forget about distractions and have fun while your washing machine runs.

Tailored to perfection for your fabrics

Tailored to perfection for your fabrics

LG’s exclusive Deep-learning AI DD™ detects the load weight and softness of fabrics. It determines optimal washing patterns from six motions to customize cleaning and fabric protection based on 20,000 Big Data points using Deep-learning AI technology. Wear your favorites like new for longer, wash after wash.

Deep-learning AI DD™ can achieve optimal wash results by being gentle on delicate fabrics and more aggressive on heavily stained or soiled fabrics. This reduces fabric damage by 18%* for front loaders and 24%* for top loaders. First in the consumer electronics industry to receive Deep Learning AI Verification from global independent safety science company UL****.

Each fabric looks enlarged in the order of underwear, shirt, and jeans, and two motion icons are drawn for each fabric.

*F4V9RWP2W: width models: 18%, tested by Intertek on March 2019, Cotton(Normal) program with default option compared to conventional washer with default option, based on 2kg of soft/delicate load like lingerie, blouse and etc.
