LX 460

Washer extractor

For those for whom "big enough" is not big enough - LX 460

If you think big, you can’t act small. The LX460 from Lavatec is not a washing machine – it’s a statement. 260 kg load. 2700 liter volume. 530 revolutions per minute. This machine knows no mercy. It cleans up where others have long since capitulated.

Mediocrity is not an option
