LG vs BOSCH washing machine

LG and Bosch are two of the top-selling brands in the washing machine segment. While Bosch is focused more on front loaders, LG has a substantial share of the top load as well as the front load segments. Based on my personal experience using both the washing machine ,,here are the key differences between LG and Bosch Washing Machines. Motor Technology Motor technology is a key differentiator between LG and Bosch. While LG uses a direct-drive motor technology, Bosch has a belt-driven motor mechanism in their top and front load washing machines. In a washing machine, the drum is connected to the motor for tumbling and spinning. How they are connected makes a huge difference in the performance of the washing machine. In LG, the motor is directly connected to the drum, while in Bosch, the motor is connected to the drum using a belt, resulting in a pulley-mechanism. The main advantages of a direct drive motor are that it reduces friction, improves energy efficiency as there is minimal energy loss due to lesser components. Moreover, it reduces vibration and noise too. Drum Size As LG has a direct drive technology, the motor is behind the drum. As a result, the drum is taller and shallow. In Bosch, however, the motor is at the side. So, the drum is deeper. This actually has an advantage as more clothes come in contact with the drum’s surface, rubs against each other more efficiently and as a result helps in cleaning the clothes more efficiently.
