Direct Drive

The direct-drive technology of the washing machine drum used by LG Electronics. The company’s designers proposed to abandon the belt by combining the drum and motor into a single unit. Now the motor is directly attached to the drum shaft, which makes the system dynamically balanced. The resulting design was called Direct Drive. As you know, the smaller the parts, the less likely it is to break down and wear out. Now almost the entire LG range is equipped with such technology, which the company experts consider already basic. In a conventional system, rotation is transmitted through the pulley and belt, which causes unpleasant noise and energy loss due to friction, belt abrasion and the need for belt replacement, as well as certain vibration. The system with direct drum drive from LG consists in the fact that rotation is transmitted directly to the drum, which creates a minimum of vibration and noise, optimal energy consumption, powerful and reliable motor.

Even Defrost

Unlike conventional microwave ovens that only use microwave radiation when defrosting, the LG DuoChef uses a double convection system that keeps the temperature optimal throughout the process. Thanks to the Even Defrost function, the LG DuoChef will not create burned or baked areas during defrosting.
