Ive always been sure there were easier ways to get the laundry done.
They have sleek, beautifully simple faces on the brushed metal frame.
These machines are on the taller side, each standing almost 40 inches tall.
Once stacked, they’re tall enough you might strain to reach the top dial.
Rather than buzzing when a cycle is complete, the machines offer a selection of classical tunes.
Once a month or so, youre sent new tunes and graphics to choose from.
For winter, I had an animated snowman greet me and play Vivaldis “Winter.”
It immediately picked up the machines and connected and led me through a two-minute setup.
What it wont do is allow you to remotely start the machine, even if the door is closed.
If youd like to use your machines in automations, you cant.
At most, youll see the machines in your smart home dashboard, and that theyre on or off.
There isnt a reservoir for bleach, which would have made it a perfect trifecta.
All of this translates to tossing laundry in, hitting one button and walking away.
Reminders that aren’t judgmental
Where these machines really shine is when the cycle is over.
I have never been a person who consistently moves the laundry as soon as its done.
If this is you, LG has you covered on two fronts.
This was how I previously had solved the problem of leaving laundry in the washer too long.
I was blown away with how effective it is.
Ten minutes in a steam cycle and they looked pressed, with no curling corners or creases.
Mostly, they made me think about ways smart washing machines could get smarter.
At CES this year,Eureka introduced a wash towerwhere a robot vacuum was integrated into the footprint.
Do you need any of these features?
You dont even need a washing machinepeople got by before they existed.
But I, for one, welcome every single tiny iteration that makes our lives easier.
