[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 9th that it will launch the AI DD washing machine, 'LG Tromm Washing Machine ThinQ,' in the domestic market on the 12th.


The new product features optimal washing motions by utilizing big data to identify fabric materials. Among the six hand-washing motion functions called '6 Motion,' for delicate fabrics, it autonomously selects fabric-protecting motions such as shaking and kneading. According to LG Electronics, Intertek, a global certification body, tested and confirmed that this reduces fabric damage by more than 10% compared to the company's existing products.


By connecting the new product to the home appliance management application LG ThinQ via Wi-Fi, users can access convenience features. When linked with the LG Tromm Dryer Steam ThinQ, released last year, the smart pairing function allows the washing machine to transmit washing course information to the dryer, which then automatically sets the drying course.


The washing machine is also equipped with a smart care function that remembers customers' washing habits and sets frequently used washing options. This function analyzes the washing methods used in the last five times and prioritizes options selected three or more times. It also enables optimal washing option settings by considering weather and fine dust information.


The interior and exterior of the new product have been redesigned with a premium design. The front door material has been changed to integrated tempered glass that is resistant to scratches. The tempered glass color adopts a black tint color with a subtle black hue. The lifter, which lifts clothes inside the washing drum, has been changed from plastic to stainless steel to enhance hygiene.


Convenience features have also been strengthened. Using the LG ThinQ app, users can manage the drum washing machine from installation to use and maintenance in optimal condition. It can be used as a TwinWash by combining it with the MiniWash, a bottom-loading agitator washing machine, allowing simultaneous and separate washing.



Ryu Jae-cheol, Vice President and Head of the Living Appliance Division at the H&A Business Division, said, "We will lead the domestic premium washing machine market with LG Electronics' differentiated AI DD washing machine."
