First-of-its-kind vertical laundry solution with centralized controls redefines category with space-saving convenience, sleek design and built-in intelligence
TORONTO, March 23, 2021 /CNW/ - Today LG Electronics Canada (LG) announced that it is bringing one of its most advanced home appliance innovations – the LG WashTower™ – to the Canadian market. Launching nationwide, the highly anticipated LG WashTower packs innovative, smart features into half the footprint that is required by traditional side-by-side laundry units.
There is an increasing demand to bring full-size capacity laundry units to compact spaces, which is exactly what the LG WashTower is designed for. The sleek single unit LG WashTower has full-size features in half the space1. Unlike conventional stacked pairs, LG's exclusive Centre Control panel is perfectly positioned with both washer and dryer controls at just the right height.
"We are excited to bring the LG WashTower to Canada; it is the epitome of modern design, seamlessly blending a modern aesthetic with innovation," said Ashley Audisho, Senior Marketing Manager, Home Appliance, LG Electronics Canada. "With its sleek unit design, this laundry duo saves precious space, leaving more room to reinvent your laundry room – whether that's adding a folding area, a sink, a pet wash station or any extra storage that your family may need. Better yet – it's packed with Smart Technology to simplify the entire laundry process."
All You Want in Half the Space
LG WashTower's single unit design makes the most of space efficiency while adding the benefit of full-size capacity – all with a sleek, streamlined aesthetic. The premium black steel finish, chrome rim and control knob accents elevate any decor, and the scratch-resistant tempered glass doors are designed to look good for the long haul.
Convenient Centre Control Panel
Only the LG WashTower has the convenient Centre Control panel, placing both washer and dryer controls in the middle of the stacked set, making it intuitive and easy to reach. In comparison, traditional stacked washer and dryer controls are placed at the very top of each machine, making the dryer buttons hard to see and reach. With the shared centralized control panel, the LG WashTower is 3.4 inches shorter than LG's historical stacked units – allowing the LG WashTower to fit into nearly any laundry space.
Built-in Intelligence Takes Out the Guesswork
When it comes to doing laundry, 50 per cent of all consumers default to the Normal Cycle on their washers and dryers because they simply don't know which setting to choose.2 LG's Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive™ (AIDD) technology takes out the guesswork. The LG WashTower's built-in AIDD intelligence uses sensors to detect fabric softness and load size, and then automatically selects the right wash motions and cycle time for precise fabric care.
And it gets smarter: the LG WashTower will even learn the user's preferred settings. Simply activate Smart Learner™ in the LG ThinQ® app and it will remember the selected wash temperature, spin speed or dry level. With Smart Pairing™, the washer can even tell the dryer the right compatible drying cycle, making LG WashTower the ultimate laundry hack.
Get It All Done in Less Time
Ultra-large capacity fits more clothes in every load and helps to conquer laundry day faster. LG TurboWash 360° powers through larger laundry loads in less time, thanks to five jets with variable sprays that deliver a complete clean in under 30 minutes.3 With 5.2 cubic feet in the washer and 7.4 cubic feet in the dryer, it fits big loads of towels, jeans, or a king-size comforter, for big time-savings every week.
Help Remove Allergens in Fabrics
The LG WashTower is proudly certified as asthma & allergy friendly® by Asthma Canada. This machine's Allergiene™ wash cycle goes beyond everyday cleaning, using the gentle power of steam to remove common household allergens in fabrics by more than 95 per cent.4 In addition, LG TurboSteam™ technology in the dryer helps sanitize and refresh clothes in between washes as well as children's toys, decorative pillows and more.
Laundry Made Better – for you and the Planet
The LG WashTower is ENERGY STAR® certified from ENERGY STAR Canada, earning it international recognition as a high-efficiency product. Helping consumers save money while helping the planet, ENERGY STAR certified washers and dryers use 25 per cent less energy and 33 per cent less water than traditional models.
