LG Electronics said on the 30th that it will unveil a range of laundry appliances equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) features. The new lineup includes four models: the LG Tromm AI washer (25 kg), LG Tromm AI dryer (25 kg), LG Tromm AI Objet Collection WashTower (wash/dry 23 kg), and LG Tromm AI WashCombo Compact (wash 11 kg/dry 6 kg). The AI washer and AI dryer will roll out first in sequence.
The AI WashTower comes with the same wash and dry capacity of 23 kg. It is convenient because after washing large loads, you can move them straight to the dryer without splitting them up. The new product is equipped with a 7-inch display. LG Electronics is introducing a variety of products, including combinations of various wash capacities (23/24/25 kg) and dry capacities (20/21/22/25 kg), as well as a compact model (wash 13 kg/dry 10 kg) with reduced size.
The AI WashCombo Compact is a model suitable for one- to two-person households, and compared with previous products, its height is reduced by 14 cm, width by 10 cm, and depth by 25 cm, allowing installation even in narrow utility rooms or studio apartments. If you install a MiniWash (2.5 kg) at the bottom, you can separate delicate garments or underwear for washing.
With the WashCombo, you can press only the start button and complete drying without removing the laundry after washing. Since its first launch last year, it has continued to gain steady popularity, LG Electronics noted.
The AI washer and AI dryer are released with Korea's maximum capacity of 25 kg, making it easy to wash and dry bulky items such as thick winter comforters. They feature a "Smart On" function that automatically turns on the power so you can wash and dry as soon as you close the washer door.
The AI DD motor, which combines LG Electronics' core component technology with AI, washes and dries with the optimal motion among six motions according to the fabric type, soil level, and load size, reducing fabric damage.
In addition, AI features have been introduced, such as "AI Time Sensing," which, about 3 seconds after loading laundry with the power connected, identifies the load size and immediately provides the estimated wash/dry time for each cycle, and "AI Time Guidance," which increasingly provides more accurate estimated dry completion times tailored to the usage environment the more it is used.
All of the new products are rated grade 1 for energy efficiency and are eligible for top-efficiency appliance rebate benefits. Shipping prices are 2.49 million won for the AI WashCombo Compact, 2.1 million won for the AI washer, 2.44 million won for the AI dryer, and 4.44 million won for the AI WashTower.
