Competing on Capacity... LG Electronics Launches Korea's Largest 24kg 'Tongdori Washing Machine'

Product volume is the same as the 22kg model
Maximizing convenience with AI washing features

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] LG Electronics announced on the 7th that it will launch the largest capacity ‘LG Tongdori Washing Machine’ in Korea, capable of washing large or bulky laundry all at once.

The new product (model name: TS24BVD), scheduled for sale on the 11th, has a washing capacity of 24kg, the largest among domestic household Tongdori washing machines. Although the internal washing drum capacity has increased compared to the existing 22kg Tongdori washing machine, the external size of the product remains the same, making it highly space-efficient.

LG Electronics stated that the new product applies a differentiated performance DD (Direct Drive) motor along with convenient artificial intelligence features.

In particular, the AI washing course detects the weight of the laundry and then identifies the fabric type based on learned data, selecting the optimal combination of motions among LG Electronics’ unique 6-motion washing methods to determine the washing intensity. For example, for delicate fabrics such as underwear, motions like tapping and kneading are selected to protect the fabric, and the washing intensity of the kneading motion is lowered.

Using the LG ThinQ smartphone app, various convenient functions can be utilized. By setting the remote control function, users can operate the washing machine’s power, course selection, and pause functions even when outside the home.

Additionally, the smart diagnosis feature allows users to check the causes of malfunctions and solutions. When paired with Tromm dryers released after March 2020 using the smart pairing function, the washing machine transmits washing course information to the dryer, which then automatically sets the drying course.

The price of the new LG Tongdori washing machine is 1,480,000 KRW based on the shipment price.

Baek Seung-tae, Vice President of LG Electronics H&A Business Division Living Appliance Business Unit, said, “By expanding customer choices with large capacity and leading with an AI DD washing machine with differentiated washing performance, we will provide a customer experience on a different level.”
