Is Whirlpool or LG Better?
Founded in the U.S., Whirlpool has been a very well-known and trusted household name when it comes to washing machines. Over the years the company has expanded to such an extent that they sell a huge variety of appliances under different brand names.
LG has also been around for quite some time and just about everyone on the planet knows the South Korean “Life’s Good” brand. They make an array of things to make life easier, such as kitchen appliances, TVs, computers, and vacuums.
So how do they compare? From the vast range of appliances, we’ve chosen four kitchen units to compare.
LG Washing Machines vs. Whirlpool Washing Machines
Even though Whirlpool has been around longer, these two brands really come close in quality, performance as well as price.
LG takes the lead in terms of technology with the Smart ThinQ app which helps you to maintain your washer. Even though it is only Android compatible, it still gives it an edge with the Tag-On technology.
The LG is definitely a quieter option with its LoDecibel Quiet Operation, if that is something that bothers you. It also has settings like Easy Iron and Reduce Static and makes use of moisture sensing technology to prevent damage to your clothes.
The Whirlpool has Wrinkle Shield Plus, making it a close competitor.
Overall, LG and Whirlpool washers are both a great buy even in terms of pricing. LG washers will cost you anything between $750 and $1,800 on Best Buy, depending on which model you choose. For a Whirlpool, you can expect to pay from $650 to $1,300 at Queen City Online. Free standard warrantee is applicable for Whirlpool and LG washers.

When it comes to refrigerators, LG and Whirlpool both offer a variety of options like the side-by-side refrigerator, bottom freezer or top freezer. LG has the more elite option of the Instaview Door-in-Door where you can see your food, so be sure to keep it organized and clean.
This state-of-the-art refrigerator can cost you between $3,299 and $7,199. LG does however offer more affordable fridges from around $629 directly from LG.
