LG Electronics recently announced on the 24th that it has begun supplying its 'LG Signature' 29-inch washing machine and dryer products to Lowe's, a leading home appliance retailer in the United States.
This product has the largest capacity among household drum washing machines and dryers in the United States, and LG Electronics plans to continue expanding its lineup of large-capacity washing appliances in the country.
This model has been designed with American consumers who prefer large-capacity washing in mind, increasing the capacity by more than 10% compared to the company's previous models and allowing for the combination with a mini wash for separating delicate clothing, underwear, and children's clothes.
The product's depth has been reduced by more than 5% compared to the company's previous model. Considering typical American dwelling environments, this large-capacity product is designed to be conveniently installed and used in utility rooms within homes, measuring about 31 inches.
The design identity of LG Signature has been maintained. The front of the product emphasizes simplicity by omitting buttons or dials, allowing for simultaneous control of the mini wash via a 7-inch touch LCD screen. Additionally, a matte design is applied throughout, with the handle hidden inside the door made of non-curved tempered glass, achieving a cohesive appearance. There are two color options: silver and essence black.
LG Electronics explained that it has applied AI to core component technology. By utilizing AI DD motor and AI sensor drying functions, it analyzes the weight, fabric type, and level of soiling of laundry to minimize fabric damage through washing and drying patterns. Furthermore, detergent and softener are automatically dispensed according to the amount of laundry and level of soiling.
Functions utilizing the AI home platform 'LG ThinQ' are also supported. In addition to 'ThinQ Up,' which continuously upgrades existing appliances with new AI features, 'ThinQ Care' allows for easy monitoring and management of product status, including malfunctions or abnormal signs, while 'Smart Pairing' enables the washing machine's usage data to be transmitted to the dryer for operation without separate settings.
Jeong Gi-hwang, the vice president and North America representative of LG Electronics, noted, "LG Signature is an integrated brand that encompasses ultra-premium appliances geared towards performance, sophisticated design, and intuitive usability," adding, "We will strengthen our leadership in the North American washing appliance market with upgraded ultra-premium washing machines and dryers of maximum capacity."
