September 25 2023 – 4 min read

The Block is back on Australian television screens and offering all the renovation inspo you could poke a stick (or spanner!) at ‒ including the latest in laundry appliances. So which washer and dryer brand are the Blockheads loving this year? If you guessed LG, you’d be right. As a proud supplier to The Block 2023, in partnership with Kinsman Kitchens, The Good Guys has the inside track on this year’s top picks from LG.
“With their modern styling, functionality and value-boosting tech, LG laundry appliances are an obvious choice,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Laundry. “It’s no wonder they proved irresistible to both The Block couples and the judges this season.”

Using The Block as a starting point for your own home makeover or new build? Read on for the must-have LG laundry tech to anchor your space.

LG On The Block 2023

This year, Blockheads were tasked with transforming five 1950s houses in Melbourne’s East. In Laundry Week, LG came to the party in House 1, House 2 and House 5, with stand-out washers and dryers.

“The right home appliances can clinch a sale, a fact that Blockheads are very much aware of, “ says Shannon Tweedie, Marketing Manager – LG Home Appliances.

“With on-trend black finishes and top features including EzDispense auto-dosing and a smartphone app to remotely control programs, LG laundry appliances deliver the good looks and technology that Aussie families want in a modern laundry.”

Making A Style Statement With LG

“Black home appliances are having a moment and in House 5, Eliza and Liberty found their perfect pair in the LG laundry appliances line-up at The Good Guys,” says Shannon Tweedie, Marketing Manager – LG Home Appliances.

“The Black Steel finish of their LG 10kg Front Load Washer and LG 10kg Heat Pump Dryer adds visual depth and drama to an otherwise utilitarian space.”
More than just a pretty face, these next-gen appliances feature AI technology that measures both the weight and fabric softness and then automatically sets the ideal washing motions – so you don’t have to.

Best LG Washers And Dryers On The Block 2023

Choosing an LG dryer and washer for your reno or new build? With the tick of approval from this year’s Blockheads, these LG appliances will be right at home in your laundry.

LG WashTower 17kg-10kg Combo Washer Dryer

AI and sensor tech make the WashTower as functional as it is fashionable. From automatic programming to synced washing and drying, this is LG’s answer to laundry efficiency. Also an energy-saving duo, you can save on bills with the 4-star energy rating washer and 10-star heat pump dryer. The centrally located control panel provides easy access to both the washer and dryer controls in an accessible location.

LG 10kg Front Load Washer

To ensure optimal care and cleaning, LG’s washing programs offer a unique combination of six motions – think gentle scrubbing for the footy shorts and slow rolling for your delicates. Meanwhile, Wi-Fi connectivity lets you start programs remotely via the ThinQ app on your smartphone.

LG 10kg Heat Pump Dryer

Gentle on your clothes and light on energy usage, a heat pump dryer is a no-brainer for your laundry reno. Featuring a 9-star energy rating and a large drum for bigger loads, this model will save you time and money.

LG Styler Clothing Care System

“Not just a stylish home base to hang your clothes, an LG Styler Clothing Care System uses gentle steam to keep school uniforms and work jackets crisp and clean, and refresh your damp coat after a rainy day,” says

Shannon Tweedie, Marketing Manager – LG Home Appliances

Hang blazers, trousers and barely-worn garments, then let the steam do its thing. Tailored steam programs will deodorise, sanitise and refresh your clothes, while a handy moving hanger gently shakes to remove wrinkles.

A longstanding fixture in Australian laundries and the winner of Choice’s 2022 Best Brand Top Loader, LG washing machines and dryers make life easier, better and more comfortable.

“If you want to save on running costs over the life of your appliance, look for models with a 10-star energy rating and a 4- or 5-star WELS water rating and reap the rewards at bill-time,” says Peter Simic.

Create A Blocktastic Laundry With The Good Guys

Ready to start your laundry reno? Pick your appliances first and you’ll set yourself up for success.

“Taking an appliance-first approach to your design process will ensure your washer and dryer will fit beautifully in your new space,” says Peter Simic. “As any experienced Blockhead will tell you, there’s nothing worse than discovering your washer or dryer doesn’t fit on installation day.”

“Plus, selecting your appliances early means you can ensure a seamless flow between appliances and cabinetry, from both a functional and an aesthetic point of view.”
