LG Electronics (LG) showcased its new lineup of smart home appliances that are ideal solutions for the modern consumers. Buoyed by LG Smart ThinQ and Google Assistant, these solutions can intuitively respond to voice commands when connected through a main hub, such as an AI speaker, smartphone or AI TV. The appliances are also designed as space-saving solutions, ideal for smaller homes to maximize indoor space.
Users will be able to enjoy hands-free convenience, prompting appliances that are paired on the LG Smart ThinQ app to perform tasks, or check on its status through a simple voice command. To check on the LG Styler’s progress while prepping for a dinner appointment, simply say, “Hey Google, how much time is left on the Styler” and it will respond with the duration left on its current cycle. When rushing to host a gathering, get the ice in the freezer to freeze quickly for the beverages later by saying “Hey Google, turn on the express freeze in the refrigerator” and it will automatically do so, without the user having to manually change the settings.
The new LG smart appliances not only offer advanced features, they are sleek and designed in space-friendly sizes:
LG Slim French Door and Bottom Freezer Refrigerators
The LG Slim French Door refrigerators (models GF-Q4919MT & GF-B4539PZ) are just 835 millimeters wide, slimmer than other conventional LG French Door refrigerators at 912 millimeters. This allows the new French Door models to fit comfortably in most kitchen settings. Together with the LG Bottom Freezer (model GB-B4059MT), both designs offer a new flat-back interior to free up more space for food storage, and a Pocket Handle design that adds to their overall seamless look and feel.
To ensure that food freshness is retained, the new LG Slim French Door and Bottom Freezer refrigerators are equipped with NatureFRESH™, a combination of Linear Cooling™ and DoorCooling+™. Linear Cooling™ is powered by LG’s proprietary Inverter Linear Compressor, to keep temperature fluctuation within ±0.5 degrees Celsius[1]. Consuming 32 percent less energy than a conventional reciprocating compressor, it is also 25 percent quieter[2], making it more energy-efficient. The new DoorCooling+™ air vent is located at the top of the fridge interior, and cools 19.7 percent faster[3] than a conventional cooling system. This greatly reduces the temperature gap between the inner part of the storage compartment, and items placed closer to the door. The LG GB-B4059MT Bottom Freezer is also the only LG refrigerator model to achieve a 4-tick rating for outstanding energy performance standards.
LG Top Load with TurboWash 3D™
LG’s new compact top-loaders make an all-rounded solution for bigger households. The TH2113SSAK model features a 13kg capacity in a compact body due to LG’s unique tub design with stabilization technology, saving up to 18.4 percent more space than a similar 21-inch (540mm) washer. For large families, the new top load lineup also offers 16- and 17kg capacities (model TH2516SSAV and TH2517SSAK).
These compact top load washing machines feature a new TurboWash 3D™ technology, which harnesses the combined strengths of TurboShot™ (WaveForce™ and JetSpray) and TurboDrum™ for a thorough wash. WaveForce™ sends powerful vertical streams of water from the top, while JetSpray shoots high-pressured water out from the nozzle to penetrate deep into these fabrics for enhanced rinsing performance. Coupled with TurboDrum™, which spins the tub and pulsator in the same or opposite directions, TurboWash 3D™ improves washing efficiency, reducing wash cycles to by up to 21 minutes, energy consumption by up to 27 percent and water consumption by 14 percent compared to conventional LG washing machines[4].
For effective, delicate laundry care, users can add Steam to the Stain Care cycle to softly soak and wash items in warm water (40 degrees Celsius). Moreover, the Allergy Care cycle with 60 degrees Celsius Steam™ boosts the hygienic performance of this robust washer, reducing allergens by 99.9 percent to safeguard the health[5] of families.
LG Styler in a Mirrored Finish
Ideal for special care items such as soft toys, pillows, duvets and more, the sleek and slim LG Styler is also a great solution to refresh your clothes. Equipped with TrueSteam™ technology, the Styler utilizes steam, coupled with a Moving Hanger which slides side to side, to reduce wrinkles and remove odors on fabrics. The new LG Styler offers a mirrored finish so that users can also check their outfits or envision their ensembles before wearing them, a perfect addition to a walk-in wardrobe.
LG HOM-BOT with Slide-in Mop
Easily tucked away into a corner of the living space as the home station, the new LG HOM-BOT (model VR66900TWA) features a slide-in mop for a 2-in-1 cleaning solution. The Wi-Fi enabled HOM-BOT sucks up dust particles with two extended side brushes and a main Anti Tangle Brush, finishing off the cleaning with a slide-in mop at the back that draws water from a detachable water tank supply system. It operates at a low noise level of 64 dB(A) for an disturbed clean at home due to minimal friction on the Smart Inverter Motor, resulting in high efficiency and enhanced durability that is backed by a 10-year warranty.
“By offering more connectivity in our home appliances on top of impressive features, LG continues to bring greater convenience to homeowners,” said says Ethan Kim, Home Appliances Product Director of LG Electronics Singapore. “Now, every family can embrace and experience the concept of smart living.”
