LG PROVIDES NEW LAYER OF CONVENIENCE AND EFFICIENCY WITH TWINWASH™  

The Groundbreaking Design and Convenience of the TWINWash™ Balances Form with Flexibility

Ideally designed for consumers who have experienced the frustration of accidentally running whites and colors together in the same wash cycle, LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing its TWINWash™ washing machine. This revolutionary washing machine enables the consumers the opportunity to experience what people all over the world have been excited about: the TWINWash™ has the ability to simultaneously wash two separate loads of laundry. The TWINWash™ also boasts a premium design that exudes elegance and style. Consumers familiar with the LG SIGNATURE lineup may notice that the striking white, ergonomically designed exterior and tempered black glass echo the design of the premium lineup’s washing machine.

The TWINWash™ maximizes user convenience by making it possible for users to wash two loads of laundry at once. With both a main washer and mini washer that can be operated independently or simultaneously, the TWINWash™ enables users to wash laundry items which require separate settings (such as colors and whites, normal and delicate items, large and small items in addition to clothing for adults and children). Furthermore, the TWINWash™ significantly reduces washing time by allowing for two loads to be cleaned simultaneously – completing both wash cycles in just 49 minutes1. In addition to the powerful main front load washer and convenient mini washer, the washing machine comes with LG’s energy efficient dryer function which provides consumers with the ultimate all-in-one solution as well as a washer/dryer that meets their everyday laundry needs.

The TWINWash™ main washer uses an array of advanced technologies such as TrueSteam™ and TurboWash™ to provide a powerful washing performance. In fact, one of the most innovative technologies utilized by the main washing machine is TrueSteam™, which penetrates fabrics with steam to eliminate 99.9 percent of household allergens as well as wrinkles and odors all while softening and refreshing clothing. The TrueSteam™ produces real steam with its steam generator. The powerful TurboWash™ minimizes washing time by using powerful jet spray and filtration to disperse concentrated detergent directly onto the clothes inside. Meanwhile, the main washer is capable of handling any late additions to laundry loads – no matter the size – with its convenient Add Item feature.

The mini washer is perfect for small size, delicate or specialized items that require a unique wash setting, such as lingerie or baby clothes, as well as smaller loads –pillowcases and towels. With the mini washer, small amounts of clothing, such as gym clothes or bathing suits, can be washed right away without operating the larger main front-loader washing machine. This enables users to constantly keep their clothes hygienic and fresh.

The TWINWash™ is also fully equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to easily control and monitor the appliance from anywhere as well as download wash cycles via the Download Cycle feature, track energy use through the Energy Monitoring feature, and diagnose any problems by opening the Smart Diagnosis™ program on a connected device.

“We are eager to introduce the revolutionary LG TWINWash™ to consumers,” said Song Dae-hyun, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Our new washing machine allows users to wash two separate loads of laundry at the same time, offering peak comfort and flexibility. By continuing to produce superior appliances, LG aims to provide users with the ultimate in convenience alongside out-standing performance.”
