[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 3rd that it has launched a new energy efficiency grade 1 one-body washer-dryer, the 'Tromm WashTower'.

The new product has upgraded key components such as a high-efficiency dual inverter compressor and dual inverter motor to improve the dryer's energy efficiency. The annual energy cost based on the standard course is about 23,000 KRW for the washer and 44,000 KRW for the dryer.

As part of the Korea Energy Agency's top-efficiency home appliance purchase cost rebate program, customers can receive a 10% refund on the purchase cost (up to 300,000 KRW per person). All units are produced at the Changwon plant in Gyeongnam.

The product is equipped with the TrueSteam function applied to LG steam appliances. TrueSteam, made by boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius, helps with deodorization, sterilization, and wrinkle reduction of fabrics. LG has accumulated technology with nearly 1,000 steam-related patents registered domestically and internationally.

The dryer's steam sterilization course removes harmful bacteria and viruses. According to tests conducted by the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Chonnam National University, this course eliminated 99.99% of influenza (H1N1), influenza A (H3N2), enterovirus (PEA), adenovirus (ICHV), and herpes virus (IBRV). Tests by the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Chungnam National University also showed a 99.99% removal rate of the coronavirus (MHV) virus.

The dryer's steam-specialized courses keep clothes and bedding comfortable. These courses have been verified by the Korea Apparel Testing & Research Institute to remove 99% of odors such as sweat smell embedded in fabrics.

The product is designed to be about 87 mm lower in height compared to installing a 21 kg capacity drum washer and a 16 kg dryer vertically. Without using a separate pedestal, it is convenient to load and unload laundry and manage filters.

The control panel, called the 'One-Body Laundry Control,' is located in the middle of the WashTower, making operation easy and intuitive. When the washing course is transmitted to the dryer, the dryer automatically sets the most suitable course. The 'One Shirt Course' completes washing and drying in 35 minutes, according to tests by the global certification body Intertek.

The design pursues a sensuous and minimal style by eliminating unnecessary lines and spaces. The glass door adds a touch of luxury. The Lily White color is priced at 4.09 million KRW, and the Space Black color at 4.29 million KRW. Three additional colors?Sand Beige, Coral Pink, and Forest Green?will be released sequentially.

Ryu Jae-cheol, Vice President and Head of the Living Appliance Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “The integrated washer-dryer Tromm WashTower, featuring a unique one-body design and grade 1 energy efficiency, will offer customers a different level of value.”
