LG Electronics Expands Comfort Kit Lineup... From Seniors and People with Disabilities to Young Children

Making Home Appliances Convenient for Everyone
Four New Additions Bring Lineup to 18 Products
Developed with Diverse Customer Experiences in Mind

LG Electronics is expanding its lineup of the 'LG Comfort Kit,' a collection of accessories designed to help everyone use home appliances conveniently. The company incorporated customer feedback from various perspectives throughout the entire process of planning, development, and validation of the products.

On December 8, LG Electronics will unveil four new products in its self-developed accessory lineup, the 'LG Comfort Kit,' designed to ensure that all customers can use home appliances conveniently, regardless of gender, age, or disability. With these additions, the LG Comfort Kit lineup now comprises 18 products.

The new products are particularly meaningful as they were developed with consideration for the user experience of a wide range of customers, including not only those with disabilities and senior citizens, but also families with young children.

The lineup includes: ▲ the 'Washing Machine Easy Detergent Cup,' which clearly indicates the detergent inlet and the appropriate amount; ▲ the 'Water Purifier Easy Tray (drip tray),' which guides users to place cups accurately under the water outlet; ▲ the 'Dishwasher Easy Handle (door),' which helps users open and close the door more conveniently; and ▲ the 'Microwave Touch Guide,' which provides tactile guidance for the location and function of the front touch buttons.

Among these, the 'Water Purifier Easy Tray (drip tray)' was initially conceived to address the challenge visually impaired customers face in locating the water outlet. However, its design was further enhanced to include a drip tray function that prevents spills, also considering wheelchair users with a lower line of sight and young children who may have difficulty reaching the outlet.

The LG Comfort Kit reflects customer input at every stage, from the initial idea phase to usability evaluations. In March this year, LG Electronics participated in 'CSUN AT 2025,' the world's largest accessibility conference, to seek advice from global customers and industry experts. In addition, LG's home appliance accessibility improvement community 'Bold Move' and a customer panel composed of individuals of various ages and characteristics directly tested the products, comprehensively verifying their convenience, practicality, and aesthetics.

The LG Comfort Kit has received recognition for its product competitiveness by sweeping global design awards. Last year, it won all three of the world's major design awards: the 'Red Dot Design Award,' the 'iF Design Award (International Forum Design Award),' and the 'IDEA (International Design Excellence Awards).' This year, a Europe-exclusive product showcased at 'IFA 2025' received the top honor in the accessibility enhancement category at the 'IFA 2025 Innovation Awards.'

In addition, LG Electronics is carrying out various initiatives to improve accessibility to home appliances as part of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) vision, 'Better Life for All.' These include the 'Home Appliance School Project,' which helps children and teenagers use products safely, and 'Everyone's LG for Everyone,' which provides video guides on how to use products and services for customers with disabilities and seniors. Starting this year, LG is also introducing the LG Comfort Kit to North American customers and providing sign language consultation services.

Paek Seungtae, Executive Vice President and Head of Home Solutions (HS) at LG Electronics, said, "We will continue to listen to our customers and introduce LG Comfort Kit products tailored to their needs, providing an even more convenient home appliance experience."
