The motor’s performance was certified by global institution Intertek in March, when the certifying body concluded that the front-loading washer with an AI motor was better at protecting fabrics than the company’s previous models.
“LG seeks customer satisfaction by introducing differentiated components that enable convenient management of clothes,” said Song Dae-hyun, president of home appliances at LG Electronics.
The company will showcase the product in Berlin at IFA 2019, a home electronics trade show that runs Friday through Wednesday.
