With the company's improvements to AI DD technology, the LG WashTower washer and dryer pair can provide customized performance that can detect laundry size, fabric type and material softness. Through this information, the machine will automatically add the amount of detergent and adjust the washing style to get the optimal level of cleanliness.
In addition, the latest LG washing machine is also equipped with Steam technology which provides clean and fresh washing results. While the increase in the comfort factor, one of which comes through the Smart Pairing feature which works to provide information from the washer to the dryer partner regarding recommendations for the most suitable clothes drying mode.

AI technology also allows the device to recognize the user's washing routine and preferences to provide the right drying option every time. Meanwhile, the equipped infrared sensor accurately measures the temperature of the clothes in the middle of the drying process and makes various adjustments automatically to ensure the clothes get an even drying.

Another development introduced by the Dual Heat Pump dryer, using AI DD provides better cleaning and freshening of clothes. Meanwhile, the dryer with LG Dual Inverter Heat Pump technology reduces energy consumption by drying at a low temperature through the existing cycle.

LG applies a flat design that contributes to giving the laundry room a sophisticated yet minimalist look. This is also thanks to the Center Control panel which brings an aesthetic appearance with ease of use.
