Hindustan Times has compared 10 steam washing machines for 2026, highlighting models from LG, IFB, and Whirlpool. Steam technology uses hot vapour to loosen dirt, reduce allergens, and refresh fabrics, though effectiveness varies by model. The list includes LG's 9 kg AI Direct Drive model, IFB's 8 kg PowerSteam model, and Whirlpool's 9 kg Supreme Care machine. Drawbacks include higher energy use, longer cycle times, and premium pricing. The article advises buyers to compare wash performance, capacity, and energy rating rather than choosing solely on steam function. Buyer feedback on Amazon notes quiet operation and good wash quality for the LG model, and low vibration for the IFB model.
