LG Electronics announced that it will launch the 17kg large-capacity 'Tromm Dryer Steam ThinQ,' which has an energy efficiency rating of Grade 1, next week.

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 31st that it will launch a new 17kg large-capacity 'Tromm Dryer Steam ThinQ' product with energy efficiency grade 1 next week.

The new product has changed the door design from the existing round shape to a square shape. It uses TrueSteam, made by boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius (℃), to effectively help deodorization, sterilization, and wrinkle reduction of fabrics. The annual energy cost is 47,000 KRW based on the standard course. Customers who purchase the product can receive a 10% refund on the purchase cost through the Korea Energy Agency's top efficiency home appliance purchase cost refund program.

The steam sterilization course equipped in the new product removes not only harmful bacteria but also viruses. According to tests conducted by the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Chonnam National University, this course eliminated 99.99% of influenza (H1N1), influenza A (H3N2), entero (PEA), adeno (ICHV), and herpes (IBRV) viruses. Test results from the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Chungnam National University showed that this course removed 99.99% of the MHV virus, a type of coronavirus.

The three steam-specialized courses can manage clothes and bedding comfortably, even when drying wet laundry. These courses have been verified for deodorization performance by the Korea Apparel Testing & Research Institute (KATRI), removing 99% of odors such as sweat smell embedded in fabrics.

This product inherits the distinctive advantages of LG Tromm dryers. The dual inverter heat pump dries using a low-temperature dehumidification method from start to finish without the help of a heater. The condenser auto-cleaning system is convenient as it washes the condenser with water automatically every time the drying course is used, unlike the manual cleaning method that requires periodic direct cleaning of the condenser.

Customers can connect the new product to the home appliance management application LG ThinQ using wireless internet (Wi-Fi) to use convenient smart functions. The smart pairing function automatically sets the drying course by receiving washing course information from the washing machine connected to the LG ThinQ app.

The new product's color is Black Stainless, and the price is 2,190,000 KRW based on the shipment price.

Ryu Jae-cheol, Vice President and Head of the Living Appliance Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, "We have expanded the range of choices so that customers can experience convenient steam even in a 17kg large-capacity dryer."
