Best Washing Machine of the Year
LG Mega-Capacity Front-Load Washer (WM800HVA)
LG’s Mega-Capacity Front-Load Washer features the largest capacity front load washer in its class** at 5.2 cubic feet, so it can wash more clothes – including larger, bulky items – in fewer loads, saving time and money in energy usage. In fact, there is enough space to effectively clean a king-size comforter and full set of king bedding in a single load.

LG’s Single Gas Oven Range features a variety of technologies designed for better cooking performance. The unit comes equipped with LG’s proprietary ProBake Convection™ technology, which allows items to be baked to perfection on every rack, every time. Inspired by commercial-grade ranges, LG moved the heating element from the bottom of the oven to the back wall (where the convection fan is located) for optimal heat distribution. Users will enjoy consistent browning on top and bottom, with every cookie baked to perfection. This new range also features LG’s EasyClean® technology, which delivers a clean oven in just 10 minutes – the fastest oven-cleaning feature yet – without strong chemical fumes or high heat.

Best New Finish in Appliances
LG Black Stainless Steel
LG’s newest kitchen suite including a refrigerator, range, microwave and dishwasher features a distinctive design, thanks to its black stainless steel exterior. Darker than traditional stainless steel, this new finish gives the refrigerator a unique and sophisticated look that complements the décor and aesthetic of any modern kitchen space.
