LG Electronics said on the 22nd that it opened an "LG Laundry Lounge" on the 20th (local time) at a dormitory of Tennessee State University in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the United States.
The "LG Laundry Lounge" is equipped with 16 commercial washers and 24 dryers, as well as LG OLED TVs, monitors, and air purifiers. Students can use it as a community space to rest or watch content while waiting for their laundry.
The experience space was set up in "Fred D. Brown Hall," the largest dormitory at Tennessee State University. About 700 students live in this dormitory.
Tennessee State University is a prestigious university representing Tennessee, where LG Electronics' U.S. production base is located. LG Electronics plans to promote its product competitiveness and brand through a campus visited by about 40,000 enrolled students and some 60,000 visitors annually, while contributing to the local community as a corporate citizen by donating products and equipment to the university to create this space.
The commercial washers installed at the "LG Laundry Lounge" incorporate LG Electronics' core component technologies, including the inverter DD motor. The inverter DD motor, directly connected to the drum, reduces vibration and noise while improving durability and energy efficiency, ensuring stable operation even with many users over long hours.
LG Electronics also enhanced ease of use by offering "Laundry Crew," an application dedicated to commercial washers. Students can check in real time whether washers and dryers are available from their dorm rooms or classrooms, and manage their time more efficiently with laundry-completion alerts.
Kwak Do-young, executive vice president and head of North America at LG Electronics, said, "Based on industry-leading technology and brand trust, we will continue to expand LG's differentiated customer experience in the commercial laundry market."
