Evolution of home appliances, a new standard for washing and drying completed with AI and large capacity
Written on: June 21, 2026 | Column by current affairs critic specializing in IT/media
Laundry is one of the most cumbersome and time-consuming areas of repetitive household labor. The honest feeling of modern people is that they hesitate in front of the washing machine, especially when dealing with bulky winter blankets or large amounts of laundry. To solve these problems, LG Electronics once again pushed the boundaries of technology. The new 'Trom Wash Tower' and 'Wash Combo', which not only increased in size but also redefined the essence of laundry through artificial intelligence, have appeared on the market and are ready to shake up the home appliance market.
The new product lineup introduced by LG Electronics this time is capturing the attention of consumers by boasting unrivaled ‘maximum capacity’ in the domestic home appliance market. Both the Wash Tower and Wash Combo have a huge washing capacity of 25 kg, and in particular, the Wash Combo has a drying capacity of 21 kg, optimized for processing large amounts of laundry. This not only refers to the size of the space, but is also significant in that it creates an environment where even heavy blankets and laundry can be easily done at home. By increasing the integration of components from the product design stage and applying high-efficiency technologies such as dual inverter heat pumps, the product achieved a first-class energy consumption efficiency rating and secured economic efficiency despite its larger size.
In keeping with the physical expansion of hardware, artificial intelligence technology, the internal software, has become more sophisticated. LG Electronics' core asset, the 'AI DD Motor', goes beyond simply providing rotating power and detects the material, contamination level, and weight of the laundry to implement six types of optimized movements. This intelligent washing results in maximum cleaning power while minimizing damage to fabrics. In addition, 'AI Time Sensing' technology analyzes the amount of laundry and presents the estimated time required for each course in 3 seconds. Additionally, with the addition of the 'AI Time Guidance' function that learns the user's patterns and automatically adjusts the drying time, users no longer have to vaguely wait for the wash to finish.
The meticulous attention to detail to improve the user experience is evident throughout. First of all, in terms of design, the aesthetics of the home appliance were further improved by removing the detergent drawer handle and adopting a push method that opens when lightly pressed. When combined with the mini wash, the convenience of operation was maximized by allowing integrated control of the lower part through the main display. What is especially noteworthy is the groundbreaking shortening of the ‘small volume rapid course’. It is designed to complete washing and drying in about 64 minutes based on 3 kg of laundry. This is a time saving of more than 30% compared to the previous generation product, which took about 99 minutes, and can be said to be an optimized change for the busy lifestyle of modern people.
After-sales service to maintain product performance and extend its lifespan has also become more advanced. LG Electronics has introduced a professional subscription and care service to take responsibility for the cleanliness of the inside of the drum, which is difficult for consumers to maintain on their own. We set a new standard for home appliance management by not only powerfully cleaning the inside and outside of the drum by connecting a direct water pipe, but also including UV sterilization care and precise condition inspection using an endoscope. In addition, blind spots where foreign substances tend to accumulate, such as the detergent box and rubber packing, are carefully managed using a dedicated management agent and steam, allowing customers to use their expensive premium home appliances in the best condition for a long time with peace of mind.
■ Conclusion and analysis outlook
LG Electronics' launch of this new product goes beyond the launch of a simple home appliance and demonstrates its determination to establish a firm leadership in the premium combined washer and dryer market. The result, which combines the physical overwhelming feeling of having the largest capacity in the country, the smart convenience provided by AI technology, and thorough after-care services, is expected to completely change the quality of housework. The shipping price of 5 million won may seem a bit high, but considering the technical completeness and time value that users will gain, it is evaluated as a strategic choice that will be well received by the market.
