Refrigerators, front-load washing machines and dryers
No. 1 overall in Forbes refrigerator rankings
Leads U.S. home appliance market share in Q1

LG Electronics has repeatedly received recognition for the competitiveness of its products from major U.S. media outlets.


According to industry sources on November 1, LG Electronics was included in six appliance categories—refrigerators, dishwashers, gas ranges, front-load washing machines, electric dryers and TVs—in Consumer Reports' recently announced "2026 Best Choices." LG Electronics was the only brand selected in all six categories.


In the refrigerator and front-load washing machine categories, LG Electronics products accounted for two of the three top picks in each category. In the electric dryer category, both selected models were LG Electronics products.


Consumer Reports highlighted features of the LG SIGNATURE electric dryer, including its artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which detects the condition of laundry to optimize drying time, and its "TurboSteam" function, which refreshes fabrics and reduces odors.

The "LG OLED evo AI C6," included on the list of top TVs, received high marks for its outstanding picture and sound quality.


Two LG Electronics products were also selected for Forbes' recently published list, "The 9 Best Refrigerators, Based on Expert Advice and Hands-On Testing."


In particular, the 26-cubic-foot counter-depth French-door refrigerator ranked No. 1 overall among the nine products and was named the "Best Overall Refrigerator." The top-freezer refrigerator was named the "Best Value Refrigerator."


This product competitiveness is also translating into results in the U.S. market. According to market research firm OpenBrand, LG Electronics ranked first in both revenue, with a 21.6% share, and unit sales, with an 18.7% share, in the major U.S. home appliance market in the first quarter of 2026.



Its market share by unit sales rose 1.3 percentage points from the previous quarter, reaching its highest level in the past five quarters.
