Additionally, LG’s new washing machine comes with a Microplastic Care cycle that reduces the shedding of microplastics from laundry and the ezDispense™ feature, which automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for each load.
“Offering the lowest energy consumption of any refrigerator currently on the market, the new LG bottom-freezer refrigerator has an A-25 per cent energy rating and brings style to the kitchen with its premium flat door design. In addition, the new model generates only 29dB during operation for a more peaceful kitchen environment. To give European customers greater choice, LG is expanding its line of highly efficient refrigerators, introducing a large capacity side-by-side model in addition to the new bottom-freezer. The new side-by-side refrigerator offers convenient features like the company’s unique Craft Ice spherical-ice maker and easy hygiene management with UVnano™ technology.”
