Two large-capacity washing machines made by LG Electronics Inc., Korea's leading consumer appliance maker, have been chosen as the best products by an authoritative U.S. magazine, industry sources said Thursday.
Consumer Reports gave the tech giant's WM8000H washing machine an "excellent" rating, the highest among 75 front-loading products tested for washing capability, energy efficiency, water consumption and volume.
The drum-equipped model received a "very good" rating for fabric care, low noise level and vibration.
Top-loading washing machine WT5070C also received the highest marks among 70 similar products tested by the monthly magazine that publishes reviews and comparisons of products and services that can benefit consumers, according to the sources.
The latest recognition comes as other LG washing machines have received positive reviews from consumer organizations from all over the world, with LG topping the Consumer Reports list of best products twice in the first half of this year. (Yonhap)
