LG HOME APPLIANCES DEMONSTRATE COMPANY’S STRONG
COMMITMENT TO ELECTRIFICATION AT KBIS 2024
ENERGY STAR Certified Kitchen and Laundry Innovations
Empowering Customers with Sustainable Home Solutions

 

 

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2024 – LG Electronics home appliances featured at the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show this week in Las Vegas demonstrate the company’s commitment to electrification through energy-saving innovations. LG’s 2024 sustainable home solutions are led by the groundbreaking 5.0-cubic-foot Mega Capacity Smart WashCombo™ (WM6998HBA) with LG’s Inverter HeatPump™ technology that uses 60 percent less energy usage than vented dryers,1 and 30- and 36-inch ENERGY STAR® certified Smart Induction Cooktops (models CBIH3013BE & CBIS3618BE) for more energy-efficient cooking than radiant electric cooktops.

 

All-in-One Energy Savings

The All-in-One WashCombo™ brings accessibility, energy efficiency, and convenience to improve customer’s lives at home. One appliance that does it all – runs a complete wash and dry cycle in under two hours, without having to transfer clothes.2 As the largest capacity combo model available, the All-in-One WashCombo™ accommodates larger loads, including king-size comforters, without requiring special electrical hookups.3 Fast and efficient, the All-in-One WashCombo™ saves time while using up to 60 percent less energy than a traditional vented model.1 LG's Inverter HeatPump™ technology delivers quiet operation and the greatest energy efficiency of all washer/dryer combos.1

 

Customize your wash with LG’s intuitive LCD dial, streamlining controls to give you more of what you need with each turn of the dial, from setting descriptions and helpful prompts to status updates and remaining cycle time. Built-in intelligence takes the guesswork out of laundry – built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture, soil level, and load size, then automatically select the right wash/dry motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care.

 

In addition to providing energy efficiency, the space-saving 2-in-1 configuration, ventless design and standard 120v plug enable installation virtually anywhere, bringing the convenience of in-home laundry to all, from high-rise condos to smaller space. Compatible with multiple pedestals and riser options, users can further customize their laundry space, including the option for a secondary pedestal washer with the LG SideKick™ (WD300), to tackle two loads of laundry at the same time.4  Pair it with the storage pedestal (WDP6) that comes with a convenient pull-out basket or simply modify the height with a riser (WDPS2) that's also ADA compliant.

 

Intelligent Home Cooking Technology

To date, seven LG induction products have been certified to the ENERGY STAR residential electric cooking products version 1.0 specification including the industry’s first-ever ENERGY STAR certified induction cooktops. The uniquely engineered LG induction cooktops offer exceptional power, precision, and responsiveness for fast, efficient heating and even cooking. Using electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware – and only your cookware – induction is about 5-10 percent more energy-efficient than radiant electric cooktops and about 3 times more efficient than gas6. In addition, the cooktop surface remains cool, making it safer to operate as well as easier to clean.

 

With a stylish, modern design, enjoy the professional look and feel of a ceramic induction cooktop featuring SmoothTouch® Glass Controls and smooth surface for easy cleaning, LG’s cooktop delivers seamless built-in style with premium functionality. Offering four induction cooktop elements of varying sizes and power levels, LG’s 30-inch induction cooktop provides tailored power and precision for all your cooking needs. Designed to work with a wide range of cookware, from cast iron to stainless steel7, it is equipped with an Energy Efficiency Indicator that helps you maximize the power and energy efficiency of each element by rating your cookware’s compatibility on a scale of 0 to 10. The higher the number, the better the compatibility of the cookware and the element8.

 

To further aid in energy and cost savings, the LG ThinQ Energy platform allows customers to take control of their home’s energy usage, offering control and convenience to help simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. LG SmartThinQ™ Technology provides the ability to control your home appliance remotely or use voice commands with Google or Alexa voice assistants. Additional features include downloadable cycles, Smart Diagnosis, customer support, and more.5

 

Visitors attending KBIS 2024 can tour LG’s full lineup of home appliance products at booth #W2343 at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Feb. 27 - Feb. 29. For more information on all LG products, visit www.lg.com.
