LG WASHING MACHINES CERTIFIED FOR NEW UL ‘WATER FOOTPRINT INVENTORY’

Lifecycle Analysis Examines Water Consumption at Every Stage

Chris Jung, president of Home Appliances at LG USA, and Sara Greenstein, president of UL Environment, holding the UL Environment certification for LG’s ultra large-capacity front-load washing machine

 

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Sept. 25, 2013 ㅡ Breaking new ground for home appliances, washing machines from LG Electronics are the first in the world to be certified for the new Water Footprint Inventory being launched by UL Environment, a business unit of UL (Underwriters Laboratories).

The new certification reflects the commitment by LG, as a responsible manufacturer, to understand the impact of manufacturing and product lifecycles on natural resources, particularly in light of increasing global concerns around water and water scarcity. LG is believed to be the first major appliance manufacturer to track water use through the entire lifecycle of a product.

LG’s ultra-large-capacity WM8000HVA and WM8000HWA front-load washers have undergone an extensive lifecycle water footprint inventory analysis, examining water use from component and packaging production, product assembly, product usage and disposal. UL Environment is leading the way in product verifications based on draft International Organization of Standardization (ISO) principles and guidelines for water footprinting of products, processes and organizations (ISO 14046).

“Since water is a global resource, we are all affected by and responsible for how it is used and managed,” said Sara Greenstein, president of UL Environment. “UL Environment’s water footprint inventory provides a tool for companies like LG to evaluate and address this important environmental metric for its products.”

Based on ISO 14046 analysis, UL Environment certified that water consumption from the washer’s pre-manufacturing stage represents about 37 percent of lifecycle water consumption, which will help LG identify processes and materials to reduce water consumption. The consumer usage stage of the washer’s lifecycle accounts for about 53 percent of overall water consumption, underscoring the importance of continuing to develop products that use less water.

Chris Jung, president, Home Appliances, LG Electronics USA, said, “The UL Water Footprint Inventory is a key design reference, and the results of the analysis show how important it is to track water over the life cycle of the product and not just the usage phase. LG is proud to be a pioneer in the water footprinting area and will use this data to improve the water-efficiency of our products.”

LG’s WM8000 washers are designed for a high-performance, efficient washing experience, having earned the coveted ENERGY STAR® “Most Efficient” 2013 designation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This means the washer is recognized among those that qualify for the ENERGY STAR and represents the leading edge in energy efficient products. In fact, a washer with this designation can save consumers the equivalent of at least 74,000 bottles of water a year, compared with conventional non-ENERGY STAR certified washers. This model also features LG’s innovative TurboWash™ technology that can save 20 minutes per load, while still offering outstanding cleaning performance.

The first certification under UL’s new Water Footprint Inventory is just one example of LG’s leadership in developing products with the environment in mind without sacrificing performance or style. The LG WM8000HVA/WM8000HWA washers also are the first to meet the “2013 Sustainability Standard for Household Clothes Washers” developed by UL Environment, CSA Group, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers and other stakeholders. This new sustainability standard identifies a product’s environmental impacts in six key areas: materials, manufacturing and operations, energy and water consumption during use, innovation, use of consumables, and end-of-life management.

More than 70 LG products across multiple categories – from washing machines and refrigerators to televisions and air conditioners – have earned the 2013 ENERGY STAR Most Efficient designation so far this year. In addition, with a total of 32 certified products, LG is a key participant in the CarbonFree® Product Certification program, which verifies the GHG emissions associated with a product’s life cycle and provides certification to products offering carbon offsetting and GHG reduction.

LG REVEALS AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY FOR NEXT GENERATION TV MARKET

Accelerating the Global Rollout of OLED and ULTRA HD TVs
High on LG’s Agenda for Growing its Global TV Market Share

Mr. Kwon Hee-Won, president and CEO of LG Electronics’ Home Entertainment Company, speaking at IFA 2013.

BERLIN, Sep. 9, 2013 At IFA 2013 in Berlin, the chief executive of LG’s Home Entertainment Company revealed that the company will expand the global rollout of its OLED TVs to several markets throughout Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the CIS region before the end of the year. Moreover, the company’s 55- and 65-inch ULTRA HD TVs — the first ever models to be equipped with HEVC decoders — will be launched in 50 countries this year and LG will expand its strategic cooperative efforts with broadcasters and other partners to accelerate the growth of ULTRA HD content.

 

“With the demand for OLED TV and ULTRA HD TV expected to grow rapidly next year, the competition to gain supremacy in the next generation TV market will be fierce,” said Mr. Kwon, president and CEO of the LG Electronics’ Home Entertainment Company. “LG will leverage its strong position and further consolidate its global TV business by speeding up the launch dates of its OLED TVs in a number of core markets. We will also introduce an expanded lineup of ULTRA HD TVs and deliver a comprehensive, differentiated smart TV user experience.”

 

Market Dominance via Expanded OLED TV Rollout

LG marked another milestone by unveiling world’s largest ULTRA HD OLED TV at IFA. Spanning a total of 77 inches diagonally, the massive curved screen fills the viewer’s field of vision more completely than a flat-screen TV. The ULTRA HD CURVED OLED TV combines LG’s exceptional WRGB OLED and ULTRA HD technologies, enabling it to produce infinite contrast ratio and resolution four times greater than regular FULL HD. LG will introduce its advanced ULTRA HD OLED TV technology to consumers in 2014.

 

Consumers can already experience LG’s innovative OLED TVs in South Korea, the United States and Europe. More consumers will be able to experience LG’s innovative technology with the rollout of LG OLED TV in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the CIS region later this year. In order to quickly expand the OLED TV market, LG plans to sell its groundbreaking TVs not only in department stores and luxury retailers but also large consumer electronics chains with national networks.

 

Through the continuous development of innovative technologies, LG will solidify its position as a provider of “first ever” products. The company intends to expand its industry leading OLED TV lineup, complementing its 55-inch CURVED OLED TV with the wall mountable GALLERY OLED TV. Furthermore, LG is hard at work developing OLED TVs with ULTRA HD picture quality in screen sizes greater than 70 inches.

 

Accelerating the ULTRA HD TV Market

By introducing a comprehensive range of ULTRA HD TVs, LG will give consumers more choice and invigorate the global next generation TV market. The new premium and affordably priced 55- and 65-inch ULTRA HD TV series are scheduled to launch in 50 countries before the end of 2014.

 

LG’s ULTRA HD TVs are the first in the world to feature HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) decoders. This makes it possible to view ULTRA HD content without an external decoding device, such as a set-top box. The built-in decoder also means that a USB drive or any other peripheral containing 4K content can be connected to a LG ULTRA HD TV to seamlessly plan stunning ULTRA HD movies and videos.

 

And LG is stepping up its efforts to expand the availability of ULTRA HD content in close cooperation with broadcasters. It is also forming alliances with content distributors to expand the supply of high quality ULTRA HD entertainment and collaborating with respected artists on cutting-edge multimedia projects.

 

The exciting ULTRA HD TV market will be driven by LG’s differentiated competitiveness, which includes IPS panel and CINEMA 3D technology. Complementing ULTRA HD picture quality with superior sound quality, LG is increasing its R&D investments in audio technology as well as sourcing the best new sound solutions through its relationships with other leading companies.

 

Smart TV UX

LG will also increase the market share of LG’s smart TVs by expanding compatibility with web-based applications and by strengthening LG’s involvement in the Smart TV Alliance.

 

With its improved, intuitive Smart TV platform, LG will provide a user experience (UX) that boasts unparalleled ease-of-use and connectivity. LG’s Smart TV platform is designed around the S2R2 strategy, which represents the core strengths of the company’s Smart TV user experience. This strategy will focus on the four components of LG’s Smart TV user experience: Search, Sharing, Recommending and Recording.

 

LG will give users access to an even greater breadth of outstanding content via strategic partnerships with content providers and broadcasters, including major European players, RAI and BSkyB. LG will bolster its Smart TV game offerings with popular titles from noted publishers including Activision, Disney and even cloud-based gaming services.

LG UNVEILS LATEST RANGE OF ENERGY EFFICIENT REFRIGERATORS AT IFA 2013

 Equipped with Door-in-Door™ and Inverter Linear Compressor,

LG’s New Refrigerators Lead the Industry in Innovation

 Front view of LG’s side-by-side refrigerator

BERLIN, Sep. 5, 2013 — At IFA 2013 in Berlin, LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing its latest lineup of side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators which offer consumers more energy savings and convenience than ever before.

 

LG’s side-by-side refrigerators are equipped with convenience enhancing features such as Door-in-Door™ for quick access to favorite snacks and drinks. Door-in-Door™ comes with handy customizable basket sections, enabling family members to have their very own storage compartments.The energy efficient bottom-freezer models incorporate the Total No Frost feature, which offers faster and more even cooling to keep food fresh even longer. And LG’s convenient Smart Diagnosis™ provides consumers with a quick and effective way to troubleshoot any issues with their units. These new refrigerators deliver even reliability and energy efficiency thanks to LG’s powerful Inverter Linear Compressor, which comes with a 10-year warranty.

 

“When selecting home appliances, European consumers look for a combination of performance, user convenience and energy efficiency,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “We’re confident that our newest lineup of advanced refrigerator models will prove popular with European consumers.”

 

Door-in-Door

LG’s highly convenient Door-in-Door™ makes it easier to reach frequently sought after food and beverage items and also helps reduce cold air loss from escaping the main refrigerator compartment. By helping to reduce temperature fluctuations that occur whenever the refrigerator door is opened, the Door-in-Door™ helps to keep food fresh longer.

 

Inverter Linear Compressor

LG’s proprietary Inverter Linear Compressor enables the refrigerators to provide industry leading energy efficiency and food freshness, reduced noise levels and durability. In comparison to a reciprocating drive system, the company’s piston-driven compressor generates less internal friction and offers more precise cooling control, which ensures lower energy consumption. The Inverter Linear Compressor comes with a 10-year parts warranty.

 

Total No Frost

LG’s newest refrigerators are also equipped with a Total No Frost feature. Most conventional internal-airflow systems disperse cool air inconsistently. LG’s advanced design guarantees even cooling throughout the refrigerator’s entire interior. Thanks to the new Multi Air Flow system, lunch meat stored on the top shelf of the fridge will stay just as cool as vegetables kept on the bottom shelf. Total No Frost cools down warm food much faster than other refrigerators and is more energy efficient than other internal-airflow systems.

 

Smart Diagnosis™

If an LG refrigerator experiences any problems, the Smart Diagnosis™ feature allows call center representatives to quickly diagnose the issue over the phone. What’s more, the Smart Diagnosis™ smartphone app allows homeowners to record and analyze signals from the refrigerator for immediate advice on repair options. An effective means of troubleshooting potential issues, Smart Diagnosis™ is the ideal solution for today’s busy customers who don’t have the time to waste on costly, inconvenient service visits.

 

Convenience-enhancing Features

LG’s bottom-freezer refrigerators come with a number of convenience-enhancing features that make consumers’ lives easier. The lattice-type box cover of the Moist Balance Crisper™ improves moisture retention, helping to boost the longevity of food items. Located in the main refrigerator compartment, the convenient Fresh 0 Zone is an ideal place to store meats and fish, as users can access these oft-used items immediately without having to freeze and thaw them. For smaller kitchens, the Zero Clearance door can be opened to a 90-degree angle even if the refrigerator is placed close to a wall. In this position all drawers can be fully extended, making access to food much easier.

LG SHOWCASES LATEST BIG CAPACITY WASHING MACHINES AND NEW ECO-HYBRID PRODUCTS AT IFA 2013

LG’s 6 Motion Direct Drive Equipped Washers and Dryers

with New Eco Hybrid Technology Save Energy, Water and Time

BERLIN, Sep. 5, 2013 — LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing its new range of 12kg big capacity washing machines and its new Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers and dryers at IFA 2013. The washing machines boast LG’s proprietary 6 Motion Direct Drive and TrueSteam™ technologies, ensuring powerful and hygienic washing performance. LG’s 12kg big capacity washing machines are 40 percent more energy efficient than other LG A+++ washing machines. Moreover, LG’s new washer-dryers equipped with innovative Eco-Hybrid technology offer a new Air-drying system in addition to normal drying modes. Each finely tuned setting has been optimized to achieve energy efficiency with water or time saving.

 

“LG’s highly acclaimed washing machines provide both strong and delicate performance for consumer benefits,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “They can wash larger loads while using less energy and water, which is what consumers have been asking for. What’s more, our new Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers allow homeowners to better manage electricity and water consumption for lower utility bills and less environmental impact. There are absolutely no compromises.”

 

LG’s advanced 6 Motion Direct Drive motor uses a combination of six different motions to deliver customized washes for various types of clothes with fewer wrinkles and less damage. In addition, thanks to the Inverter Direct Drive motor, LG washers perform quietly and reliably. LG backs the durability and reliability of its Inverter Direct Drive motor with a 10-year warranty while VDE[1], Germany’s scientific and technical association, evaluated and certified that the Inverter Direct Drive had a lifespan of 22 years.

 

LG’s front–load washing machine also incorporates the unique TrueSteam™ technology, which includes the Steam Refresh function. Instead of water, steam is used to remove wrinkles and odors from clothes in just 20 minutes, leaving deep clean results. Moreover, LG’s TrueSteam™ technology helps to remove allergens, mites and even residual detergent, all of which have been linked to respiratory and skin allergies. In recognition of these features, LG’s steam washer has been certified by the British Allergy Foundation.

 

Eco-Hybrid Washer-Dryer

LG’s Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers provide users with both Air-drying and normal drying modes, whereas most washing machines only offer one or the other. Each of these convenient and efficient options delivers A-grade energy savings. Compared with LG conventional drying modes, LG’s powerful Air-drying setting can save users nearly 7,000liters of water per year.[2]

 

At 24-inch standard size, LG’s Eco-Hybrid washer-dryer boasts the world’s first 12kg washing capacity and 8kg drying capacity, effectively reducing a household’s washing frequency by approximately 91 washes per year.[3]Moreover, LG’s innovative new Dual Ball Balancer and Damping System help to maintain load balance and reduce noise created by internal vibrations.

 

Eco-Hybrid Dryer

LG’s Eco-Hybrid dryer features an Eco mode and a Speed mode, letting the owner choose between optimal energy and time savings. Using sophisticated heat pump technology, Eco mode achieves A++ energy efficiency. Speed mode also provides energy efficiency, with an A grade while taking 30 percent less time[4] to complete a cycle. An ideal solution for delicate items, LG’s Eco-Hybrid dryers can dry clothes even at low temperatures, reducing fabric damage and shrinkage.

 

These advanced dryers are also equipped with LG’s unique Auto Cleaning System, which cleans the dryer’s condenser up to seven times per cycle. Built to stand up to repeated usage, this durable system optimizes energy efficiency as well as drying performance. Moreover, any build-up of lint in the condenser over time is also reduced.

LG TO SHOWCASE SMART HOME AT IFA 2013

LG’s Latest Appliances Feature Smart Food Management, Smart Remote Control

and Monitoring, One Touch Connection for Enhanced Convenience

 Infographic showing an LG smart home with connected smart appliances, including a TV, refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven and vacuum cleaner which are all compatible with the Smart Control app

SEOUL, Sep. 4, 2013 — At IFA 2013, LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its smart appliance lineup, offering upgraded efficiency and convenience. By simply touching their smartphones to the NFC Tag-on symbol on one of LG’s smart appliances and through Smart Control, customers can easily register and control their refrigerator, washing machine, robotic vacuum cleaner or oven and remotely monitor the appliances.

“At this year’s IFA, LG will demonstrate its advanced, convenience-enhancing smart home appliances,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “LG’s upgraded smart technology gives users the ability to control their appliances, no matter where they are. Owners can begin their evening’s wash while driving home from work so wet laundry doesn’t sit in the washing machine all day. They can also tell their robotic cleaner to vacuum the floor to receive unplanned guests or bring up a list of food items in the refrigerator that are nearing their expiration dates. LG’s enhanced device-to-device connectivity offers incredible convenience, as users can monitor household appliances through their TVs while still watching their favorite shows. It’s a smart home for those who want the smart lifestyle.”

LG differentiates its smart appliances with two separate but highly complementary sets of technologies. LG’s four Core Technologies – the Inverter Linear Compressor, Inverter Direct Drive, KOMPRESSOR™ and Lightwave – enable superior performance and savings, while LG’s innovative smart technologies – Smart Manager, Smart Diagnosis™, Smart Access, Smart Adapt and Smart Grid Ready – create greater user convenience.

A Smart Refrigerator to Revolutionize Food Management

Built around the company’s signature Inverter Linear Compressor, LG’s smart refrigerator is equipped with a full range of smart technologies. First among them is Smart Manager, which transforms the refrigerator into a complete food management system. Customers can use the LCD panel or their smartphones to check what’s inside without opening the door. With the Smart Manager’s Freshness Tracker, users can input various foods and check their expiration dates. Additionally, the Smart Manager recommends dishes to cook based on which ingredients are available in the refrigerator.

The Smart Access feature lets users check the status of their LG appliances via a smartphone, wherever they may be. So rather than keeping track of a cumbersome shopping list, LG smart refrigerator owners can simply call up a list of what’s in their kitchen fridge directly from the supermarket on their iOS or Android phones through the LG Smart Refrigerator app.

Smart Shopping[1] is another new feature of Smart Manager that enables online grocery shopping directly from the refrigerator’s LCD panel. Items can be automatically purchased when current supplies are running low or they can be selected and ordered manually. Smart Shopping eliminates the need to ever visit a supermarket again, saving time, gas and increasing convenience.

LG’s unique Health Manager1 feature recommends individual recipes, as well as daily and weekly meal plans, based on the owner’s personal profile. The user’s age, gender, weight and height as well as information such as allergies are entered into the database to create an appropriate, personalized meal plan.

LG’s Smart Diagnosis™ has undergone an impressive upgrade, allowing LG’s smart products to better self-assess problems and inform the user. Through a Wi-Fi connection, NFC tagging and audible diagnosis alerts, the owner is quickly made aware of any minor issues such as when the ice maker is turned off, which helps limit costly, inconvenient service calls and in-home visits by customer service.

LG’s smart refrigerator is also Smart Grid Ready, meaning it can automatically adjust its temperature and settings, creating a practical smart energy-saving solution. LG’s smart refrigerator also features Delay Defrost Capability, which can reduce power consumption during specific hours of the day. In addition, instead of just displaying step-by-step instructions, LG’s smart refrigerator recommends recipes to make based on ingredients already in the refrigerator via instructional videos.

 

A Smart Washing Machine with Wi-Fi/NFC Tag Smart Diagnosis™

LG’s smart washing machine incorporates Smart Diagnosis™, Smart Access, Smart Adapt and Smart Grid Ready features. Using Wi-Fi, NFC tagging and audible diagnosis, LG’s Smart Diagnosis™ alerts the user of technical issues, while the Smart Adapt feature makes it possible to download washing cycle courses— such as Baby Wear or Air-Refresh — via smartphone or directly from the washing machine’s LCD panel. Users can then monitor the status of the smart washing machine and select options via a smartphone or an LG smart TV.

Smart Access keeps owners in touch with their washing machine regardless of their location. Homeowners no longer need to worry when leaving the house with the washer running as Smart Access makes it possible to monitor its status wirelessly. Functions and settings can be remotely adjusted and pop-up messages appear on the user’s smartphone or LG smart TV when a wash or dry cycle has been completed. The Washing Coach Function guides consumers on how much detergent is necessary for optimal results and notifies the user when it’s time to clean the drum. Ideal for beginners, the One Touch Washing function simplifies the task of doing laundry, allowing users to select what type of clothes are being washed via a smartphone app. Using NFC, LG’s washing machine then automatically sets the washing options and appropriate course.

 

A Smarter Oven for Smarter Cooking
LG’s Smart Oven comes equipped with Smart Access, Smart Adapt and Smart Diagnosis™, which opens up a whole new range of smarter cooking possibilities. With a Wi-Fi connection, home chefs can monitor the status of their ovens, search for recipes and set cooking modes. Even without Wi-Fi, NFC gives users the ability to program the oven for a particular recipe as well as diagnose a problem using their mobile devices. Moreover, while the normal cooking process involves having to manually set the cooking mode, temperature and time, this process can simply be achieved with a smartphone through the One Touch Cooking setting. And because many European homes have closed kitchens making it difficult to know when dishes are done, owners can be notified when their food is done while watching their favorite shows on an LG smart TV.

 

Smart HOM-BOT: So Much More Than a Vacuum

LG’s latest HOM-BOT SQUARE is also equipped with upgraded smart technology. For example, the Smart Control feature lets customers control the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE with a smartphone, wherever they are in the house. No longer is there a need to manually push the start button or to search all over looking for the remote control.

And Cleaning History makes it simple for customers to check the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE’s cleaning results. With Map View, it’s possible to see what has been cleaned and what hasn’t, saving time if one needs to operate the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE again. Moreover, owners can use their smartphones to easily set up cleaning schedules for completely automated operation and update the HOM-BOT SQUARE’s software. Smart Diagnosis™ makes troubleshooting much easier, quickly alerting the consumer to any minor issues and suggests possible solutions.

HOM-BOT SQUARE for Smarter, Faster, More Efficient Cleaning

The HOM-BOT SQUARE revolutionizes vacuuming by offering users a new level of efficiency and convenience.

The greater reach of the brushes combined with the square shape of the cleaner leaves dust few places to hide. The upgraded Dual Eye 2.0™ camera sensors more accurately scan and map floor surfaces, even with the lights turned off. Ultrasonic and infrared sensors enable the HOM-BOT SQUARE to detect and avoid obstacles with ease. Thanks to its Learning Function, the HOM-BOT SQUARE can also recognize the areas it has cleaned on previous jobs. And a low noise level of just 60dBA means the HOM-BOT SQUARE can clean without causing a disturbance and with a height of just 89mm, its slimmed-down design enables it to maneuver around the home with ease, even under most furniture.

The HOM-BOT SQUARE is equipped with a number of features such as a larger capacity Easy-out Dust Bin, a larger and upgraded HEPA 11 filter and Turbo Mode which lets users manually set cleaning functions to the requirements of their flooring. Users will further enjoy a host of convenient features such as Voice Guidance and Smart Diagnosis that troubleshoots problems more easily. And unlike most other robot vacuums, the HOM-BOT SQUARE is powered by a lithium polymer battery that runs and lasts longer.

 

KOMPRESSOR FOLLOW ME™ with Automatic Following Technology

LG’s new KOMPRESSOR FOLLOW ME™ follows the user’s path, so customers no longer need to constantly carry the canister from room to room when vacuuming. Using Automatic Location Recognition Technology and Active Following Wheel Technology, the vacuum cleaner uses four interconnected sensors located on its body and handle to monitor and maintain a comfortable distance of approximately 100cm from the user. Sensors installed on the body automatically detect the handle’s movement. Following detection, the sensors trigger the Active Following Wheel Technology to enable effortless, smooth and paced movement in accordance with the user.

The KOMPRESSOR FOLLOW ME™ is equipped with LG’s proprietary KOMPRESSOR™ technology, which uses a motorized dust compression system within the bagless bin to compress the collected debris. This technology also reduces messy dust clouds when emptying the dustbin.

 

Cordless Bedding Cleaner for More Hygienic Bedding

At this year’s IFA, LG will showcase its new cordless Bedding Cleaner, which enables even more hassle-free vacuuming be eliminating the power cord. LG’s Bedding Cleaner handheld vacuum protects the health of consumers by effectively reducing the number of dust mites and harmful allergens in beds and mattresses. The Dual Punch™ feature pounds the surface 8,000 times per minute, helping to remove even the most stubborn of dust mites, while the soft rotating brush is ideal for picking up hairs and fibers from sheets and pillows. With a powerful suction and three levels of deep cleaning, the Bedding Cleaner offers customers the utmost in household hygiene.

The Dual HEPA filter of the Bedding Cleaner includes a multi-filtration system that removes dust, odor and germs from the home environment. The built-in UV sterilization station ensures both the hygiene of the consumer’s bedding and of the cleaner itself, reducing the chance of secondary contamination.

Weighing a mere 1.8kg, LG’s Bedding Cleaner also features an ergonomically designed tilted body and handle so that it can be easily picked up and operated with one hand, causing minimal stress on the hands and back. Equipped with an Easy-out Dust Bin, owners can conveniently and easily empty the dustbin with the One Touch button.
