Home appliances to become newer, more convenient

More consumers are taking a closer look before purchasing white electrical goods, such as refrigerators or TVs.
This is because they are looking for products that are priced at a more affordable price but which also feature more functions and require smaller space.

Washing machines are one of these items that customers need to spend some time researching before buying.

Many people use front load washers, commonly known as drum washers, because front load washers cause less damage to the clothes than top load ones. Still, they sometimes feel like using a top load washer, especially when they find clothing items they forgot to add to the hamper or when they need to use the washing machine even though they only have a few clothes to wash. This is because users cannot add more clothes to a front load washing machine in the middle of the cycle as the door is locked.

Remedying this, the LG Twin Wash reflects the needs of the consumer. It has both a front-load and top-load washing machine, allowing users to wash their clothes using both or one of the two washers.

Using this machine, users can wash clothes such as lingerie or baby clothes that require separate washing, and other clothes at the same time by using both washers. For only a small amount of clothes, they can use the top load washer which lets them save both water and electricity. As the two washers are combined, up and down, people can also save space.

Since its release in July this year, sales of the LG Twin Wash have been enjoying strong growth. Sales have risen some four times over those of existing washers of equal size

In the case of televisions, customers have been looking for larger yet lighter ones that have higher resolution pictures. LG has moved one step closer to those goals with its OLED TVs. LG already surprised the world last year when it introduced the first-ever UHD OLED TV with its higher resolution than existing HD TVs.

OLED TVs show colors by themselves without using a back light. They can express a perfectly black screen, unlike existing LCD TVs. UHD OLED TVs can display natural images without creating an afterimage or any distortion.

In August last year, Reviewed.com, an IT review portal run by USA Today, praised LG‘s OLED TVs by picking one of its models as items an “Editor’s Choice” item.

Finally, people who suffer in the heat will especially welcome LG’s new refrigerator, as it has an ice dispenser that can produce both purified water and ice.

Thanks to the new fridge and its enhanced convenience, whenever users press the dispenser, they can enjoy cool, purified water and ice at the same time directly from the refrigerator without opening the door.

This refrigerator minimizes the possibility of any germs and other stains getting into the water or ice, as it uses a stainless steel tank in the water purifier. It also uses a three-step purification filter to remove harmful chemicals, such as mercury and lead, and any lingering bad odor.
