LG Electronics was named in the refrigerator, dishwasher, gas range, drum washing machine, electric dryer and TV categories of Consumer Reports' Best of 2026 list. It is the only brand selected in all six categories.

Why it matters

The recognition comes as LG reports growing U.S. market share in home appliances, with 21.6% of sales revenue and 18.7% of unit sales in the first quarter of 2026. For U.S. shoppers comparing major appliances, the rankings offer an independent reference point.

LG's 26-cubic-foot counter-depth French-door refrigerator is among the models cited in the rankings, and two of the three top refrigerators on the list were LG products. Two LG electric dryers were selected, and LG claimed both electric dryer picks.

The players

LG Electronics

A South Korean multinational consumer electronics and home appliance manufacturer that competes with major global brands in refrigerators, washers, dryers and televisions.

Consumer Reports

An independent, nonprofit consumer product testing organization that publishes annual Best of rankings based on its own product evaluations.

The details

Consumer Reports highlighted the LG Signature Electric Dryer's AI technology, which optimizes drying time by detecting laundry conditions, and the LG OLED evo AI C6 TV for its picture and sound quality. Forbes also included two LG refrigerators in its Top 9 Refrigerators list.

First quarter of 2026: OpenBrand measured LG's share of U.S. home appliance sales.

Market Position

LG's gain of 1.3 percentage points in unit share, as tracked by OpenBrand's quarterly measurements, marks continued momentum in a U.S. market where it now holds a larger share of revenue than unit volume. Independent testing recognition from Consumer Reports adds a product-performance signal to that sales trend.

For U.S. shoppers replacing a refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, dryer or TV, the rankings identify LG models that independent testers rated highly across six categories. Buyers can use the list to shortlist options before comparing prices and retailer availability.

The takeaway

Before buying a major appliance, check independent rankings such as Consumer Reports' annual Best of list alongside your own feature needs and budget. Model availability and pricing can vary by retailer, so compare options before committing.
