What You Need to Know about Washer/Dryer Combo

What Does the Energy Star® Mean?

Energy Star is the U.S. government's international program that encourages the use of energy-saving consumer products. It was formed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1992, as part of energy-saving and greenhouse gas reduction efforts. The majority of LG Electronics' products meet the Energy Star standard. For example, the battery charger for handsets produced for the U.S. market fulfills 100% of the Energy Star requirements.

LG and Energy Efficiency

LG Electronics is one of the largest global companies of its kind. Because of this, we feel we have a social responsibility to actively take on the environmental issues that arise from the carbon output of our industry. We have implemented, and are continuing to perfect, two independent strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of our company:

1. Develop more environmentally friendly technologies in our factories 2. Continuously raise the energy efficiency of our products

LG gives its customers the opportunity to participate in greenhouse gas reduction by providing them with products that meet the U.S. government’s Energy Star® standard for energy-saving consumer products. For more information, visit the government’s Energy Star website.

LG Washer/Dryer Combos and Energy Efficiency

LG Washer/Dryer Combos use the latest water- and energy-saving technology to meet the Energy Star standard. So, consumers who use an LG dishwasher will both reduce the carbon emissions of their household, and lower their monthly energy bills.

How energy efficient is the LG Washer/Dryer Combo?

The LG Washer/Dryer unit is very energy efficient. Because it uses 50% less water, your hot water heater does not have to use as much energy. Also, the combo uses only 1.4 kilowatts per hour during the drying cycle—as opposed to 5 or 6 for a conventional dryer.

How water efficient is the LG Washer/Dryer Combo?

The LG Washer/Dryer unit uses about 12–15 gallons during the washing cycle, compared to 30 gallons per current, American-made front-loading washers—or 40 to 60 gallons per washing cycle per conventional, top-loading washers. The LG combo saves you water while cleaning better!

What’s a SteamWasher™/Dryer Combo?

The innovative LG SteamWasher™ and SteamDryer™ Combo performs all of your laundry functions in one appliance—saving you space, water, energy, and time. Its 4.2 cu. ft. capacity is the largest of any front-loading washer/dryer combo on the market, a marvel matched only by its long-lasting stainless steel drum.

LG’s SteamWasher/Dryer Combo Unit uses LG’s signature steam technology to give you enhanced cleaning and drying performance that exceeds standard combo units.

How can steam penetrate more effectively than water?

It’s surprisingly simple. Steam molecules are smaller, hotter, and more active. So steam gets between fibers to dissolve dirt, remove odors, and destroy allergens in less time—and with superior results because it reaches higher temperatures more quickly. Washing functions include: TrueSteam™ technology

LG’s revolutionary TrueSteam™ technology uses a real steam generator to convert water into steam, which is fed into the top of the wash drum through a spray nozzle. Steam then penetrates the fabrics for enhanced cleaning performance, resulting in brighter whites and more vibrant colors.

SteamFresh™

SteamFresh™ freshens and deodorizes your clothes in just 20 minutes. Garments come out ready to wear, so you’ll be ready to go out. Watch this video to see how it works:

Allergiene™ Cycle

The SteamWasher™ with LG’s exclusive Allergiene™ Cycle is the first washer certified “asthma and allergy friendly” by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). The Allergiene™ Cycle is proven to remove 95% or more of household dust mites and domestic animal dander. It can be the answer to an allergen-sufferer’s dreams.

Wash/Rinse Optimizer

The Wash/Rinse optimizer is a special sensor that ensure optimal washing and rinsing performance by automatically adjusting wash and rinse cycle times.

TrueBalance™

LG’s TrueBalance™ technology is an Anti-Vibration System that creates a quiet operation with reduced vibration and noise.

Energy Savings Potential

The LG ultra-capacity SteamWasher™ is among the most water- and energy-efficient washers available today. ENERGY STAR®-rated by the U.S. government, the SteamWasher™ can save you more than $650, compared to traditional top-load washers, over its lifetime of use.

SteamWashers™ are more than 115% efficient than the minimum federal standard, saving more than 8,000 gallons of water each year, as compared to traditional washers. It’s smart for your pocketbook and good for the environment. DRYING FUNCTIONS INCLUDE: SteamSanitary™

Wash the un-washable with convenient SteamSanitary™ technology that uses real steam to clean decorative pillows and other items that cannot go into the wash.

ReduceStatic™

Virtually eliminates static cling, for comfort and convenience.

EasyIron™

Evenly moistens clothes for efficient and easy ironing without having to use a spray bottle or an iron’s misting features.

LG Design Philosophy for Washer/Dryer Combos

Design plays a critical role in harmonizing technology and human needs. At LG, we strive to make your life easier and more enjoyable by integrating our digital appliances into your lifestyle and home décor.

Our design philosophy boils down to four basic elements: Concept, Style, Interface, and Finish. By perfecting these elements, each of our digital appliances achieves LG’s goal of “great design.”

Emerging Needs Design that integrates sensitive ergonomics and digital technology

LG has been delving deeply into design and research in this innovative technological era. Our design team in particular is focused on achieving the company's vision of making life easier—and more fun—through technology’s digital appliances. And, from a practical perspective, technology is becoming an increasingly important tool in our modern lives. A growing number of products arrive already integrated with "intelligent" microchips and/or equipped with networking options.

This area, though still in its early stages, has great design potential—requiring our designers to put on their “inventing caps” to predict emerging needs, design new lifestyle concepts, and test out their designs on a demanding public.

Designing for the future

This trend of designing products for the future was started by the LG Life Soft Research Lab, which was established about 20 years ago. There, researchers, designers, and trend scouts work to predict the future by examining and identifying consumer needs, observing the public's interest in products, and then developing design concepts and solutions based on what they’ve seen.

This means, ultimately, that LG is always one step ahead of the game—always already working on products for the future. In this way, our research is focused not only on new products and technological opportunities, but also on understanding key customer and market trends.

LG Washer/Dryer Combo Designs

You can see the four basic elements of LG’s design philosophy at work in our full range of washer/dryer combination units: Concept, Style, Interface, and Finish. • Concept: Our patented condensation drying system eliminates humidity and the need for your washer/dryer combo to be vented. The compact design with a large capacity allows you to do large loads and still fit the unit anywhere in your home. A host of other features have been carefully deliberated to meet the needs of your household. • Style: Style elements like compact designs, stainless steel trimming, and an array of designer colors artfully contribute to the overall aesthetic of your home. • Interface: We have continually perfected our washer/dryers’ simple control interfaces to make laundry an easier task than ever before. • Finish: From stainless steel finishes to smooth LED control panels, our finishes reflect an attention to detail that’s always put LG products a notch above the rest.
