LG rolls out AI washing machines

LG Electronics (LG) is expand­ing the availability of its innovative front-loader washing machines with ThinQ AI powered by the company’s proprietary Direct Drive™ to most markets world­wide by the year’s end. With the benefits of AI DD™ the new wash­ers are able to deliver thorough yet gentle cleaning by determining the weight and fabric character­istics of each load for faster and better laundry results.

LG’s AI DD technology leverages big data on 20,000 pieces of information related to washer usage and applies settings based on the volume and delicateness of the garments in each load of laundry to provide the most optimized washing cycle. This guarantees exceptionally clean laundry every time with the added benefit of an 18 percent reduction in damage to the clothes, prolonging the life of every wardrobe.
