[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Sales of LG Electronics’ Dios dishwashers and electric ranges have significantly increased.

On the 29th, LG Electronics announced that the production capacity of Dios dishwashers, manufactured in Changwon, Gyeongnam and supplied to the domestic market, has nearly doubled compared to a year ago. LG Electronics self-assessed that the new Dios dishwasher model launched in March last year has been recognized for its excellent cleaning power and has contributed to the growth of the domestic dishwasher market.

Through its own research, LG Electronics identified that the main reason for not using dishwashers is the lack of cleaning power. Accordingly, they have conducted research and development to enhance the cleaning power of the Dios dishwasher. Last year, in collaboration with Professor Ji-hyun Lee’s team at Pusan National University, they conducted a “Comparative Behavioral Study of Dishwashers and Hand Washing,” which showed that the cleaning power of the Dios dishwasher is approximately 26% better than hand washing.

The Dios dishwasher is equipped with a smart shelf system that includes ▲ Tornado washing blades ▲ 100-degree True Steam ▲ an inverter DD motor with excellent durability backed by a 10-year free warranty ▲ 3-level height adjustment, multi-purpose shelves, and customized dish racks. The Tornado blades create three-dimensional water jets from multiple outlets to clean dishes quickly and thoroughly.

The 100-degree True Steam function demonstrated a 99.999% removal rate of harmful bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, according to tests by the Korea Chemical Convergence Testing Institute. Regarding this function, LG Electronics also stated that the World Kimchi Research Institute’s experiments showed a 99.999% removal rate of food poisoning bacteria including Norovirus, Hepatitis A virus, and enterohemorrhagic E. coli.

Additionally, LG Electronics self-assessed that it has driven demand for electric ranges, which are rapidly replacing gas ranges. Last year, domestic sales of LG Dios electric ranges increased by more than 70% year-on-year for the 3-burner models.

The LG Dios electric range optimizes the design of the smart inverter IH coil to concentrate heat power and maximizes product performance by protecting core components with an optimized cooling system that quickly cools internal heat. Notably, since May last year, LG Electronics has offered a 10-year free warranty on the smart inverter IH (Induction Heating) coil, a core component of the Dios electric range.

Yoon Kyung-seok, Vice President and Head of the Kitchen Appliance Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “We will continue to introduce products that customers can use more conveniently and lead the premium kitchen appliance market.”
