LG Electronics explained that thanks to its differentiated inverter technology, it can produce eco-friendly and high-efficiency home appliances. This technology converts the motor and compressor operating speeds to run the product only as much as needed. It enhances both appliance performance and energy efficiency.
The tub washing machine, which won the consumer popularity award, is equipped with a high-performance DD (Direct Drive) motor and artificial intelligence (AI) features. The AI washing course detects the weight of the laundry and, based on learned data, identifies the fabric type to select the optimal combination from six motions to determine the washing intensity.
LG Shoe Care is the only shoe care product selected as a green product. It features innovative technologies such as True Steam, effective for sterilization and deodorization, and the Zeo Dry Filter, which removes fine moisture and odors.
Ryu Jae-cheol, President of LG Electronics H&A (Home Appliance & Air Solution) Business Division, said, "We will provide a different level of customer experience with eco-friendly and high-efficiency appliances made with differentiated core components and advanced technology."
