LG EverWash is an innovative washing machine feature that changes how you think about laundry. Here's the complete guide.
What Is LG EverWash?
LG EverWash allows you to add clothes to a front-load washing machine at any point during a wash cycle, not just at the start. This solves one of the most common frustrations with front-load washing machines — the locked door once a cycle has begun.
How Does It Work?
EverWash uses a small secondary compartment built into the door of the washing machine. You open this mini door (without opening the main drum door), drop in the forgotten garment, and it enters the main wash during the cycle. The water seal is maintained by the design of the secondary compartment — there's no water spillage.
The process works mid-cycle because the secondary compartment contains a brief rotation that moves the added garment into the main drum during an appropriate phase of the wash when the drum isn't full of water.
Which LG Models Have EverWash?
EverWash is available on select LG front loader models in Australia, particularly the premium F-series and V-series models. When shopping, look for "EverWash" in the product specifications.
Is EverWash Actually Useful?
Yes, for specific situations it's genuinely valuable:
- Remembered items (socks, work shirts discovered at the last minute)
- Households with children who generate sudden urgent laundry
- When running a large load and finding a stray garment
It's worth noting that EverWash is not suitable for adding heavily soiled items mid-cycle (the main wash may be partly through) or items that need a hot pre-wash.
EverWash vs Pausing to Add Clothes
Some washing machines allow you to pause and add clothes if the water level is low enough. The difference with EverWash is that it works at ANY point in the cycle without the need to pause the whole cycle, wait for it to be safe, and restart. It's more seamless.
