Guarding Against Bedbugs: Elevating Hygiene Standards with the Revolutionary LG CordZero™ Cordless Vacuum, Laundry Solutions, and Styler

According to TIME Magazine, the bedbug crisis has become a global nightmare that there has been panic over potential outbreaks across Europe and US, and soon over Asia causing anxiety among the public sector and fueling governments to take action. South Korea has started a campaign and an establishment of a task force to tackle this alarming rise of cases. South Korean citizens have created websites for updates of bedbug infestations across the country. In Hong Kong, it started distributing leaflets on bedbug transmission to arriving travelers. Authorities have also deep cleaned its Airport Express train. Residents have done their part by ordering insecticides off groceries and local E-commerce platforms, where sales of anti-bed bug products have jumped a lot. Sightings and growing concerns about bed bugs have also started in Singapore and Japan. The rise of these infestations have been correlated with human travel as the bedbugs hide in crevices like clothing and suitcases. These bedbugs are said to have developed resistance to common insecticides and are efficient at multiplying through inbreeding.

With the bedbug crisis slowly causing problems across the continent, LG Electronics has come up with a solution as they introduce the new CordZero™ A9 Kompressor. It features the Bedding Power Punch which has a dust mite remover and is available in A9N-Core, A9N-Max and A9K-Ultra models. The Washer/Dryer with Steam+ and Dual Inverter Heat Pump is suitable to eliminate bacteria or viruses when washing or drying clothes efficiently. LG Styler’s Sanitary Cycle sanitizes bacteria and viruses found in clothes or fabrics.

Its UVC LED and 5-Step Filtration System can be available in A9T-Ultra or All-in-One Tower. The docking station features a replaceable dust bag, an automated dustbin-emptying system that prevents fine dust particles from escaping and an intuitive display that provides real-time status updates. LG’s All-in-One Tower features removable and washable motor protection filters and hassle-free storage for CordZero™ vacuum accessories. It is space-saving, easy to use, and also provides quick charging and hassle-free storage for vacuum accessories.

The CordZero™ vacuum lineup has received Gold certification from UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science. They are the first in the vacuum cleaner category to have earned UL’s certification confirming the effectiveness of reducing the risk of chemical and particle emissions requirements. These latest products have met UL’s strictest standards for volatile organic (VOC) emissions. The CordZero™ vacuums provide excellent cleaning performance without negatively impacting air quality at home. The CordZero™ effectively removes dust from the indoor environment and prevents it from reentering.

Another way to also eliminate these bedbugs is by sanitizing and a healthier treatment of your clothes with the LG Styler. The LG Styler includes the TrueSteam feature consisting of 100% water with no chemical additives which eliminates influenza and coronavirus and kills 99.9% of viruses, allergens and bacteria. It also sanitizes fabrics, masks, and other items difficult or impossible to wash.

LG vacuum cleaners have the 5-Step Filtration System which cleans the floors and air at the same time. It helps to filter an average 99.999% of 0.5㎛ ~ 4.2㎛ particles by separating suctioned dust in the dust bin, then filtering out the remaining fine dust. The UVC LED also activates on the top layer of dust inside the bag to inhibit bacterial growth-leaving your home cleaner. There are also removable and washable filters because dirt builds up over time on the filters inside the vacuum. The metal filter, cloth pre-filter and fine dust filter can all be removed and washed in water to clean dirt away.

LG Philippines affirms its commitment to build a better community with its recent CSR initiative in Iloilo. The activity was spearheaded by LG, together with Mark Vincent Fabresis from ML Laundry Equipment and Supply and BigWash. 2 sets of Giant C Max and 2 sets of Titan C Max washers and dryers were donated to West Visayas State University Medical Center (WVSU-MC) in Region VI, modernizing their laundry facilities. The turnover event, held on July 20, 2023, was attended by representatives from WVSU-MC, LG, and BigWash, highlighting the collective effort to enhance healthcare services in the region.

LG commercial washing machines can be a game-changer for hospitals, offering numerous benefits that streamline their laundry operations and improve overall efficiency. With their advanced technology and large capacity, these machines can handle the high volume of laundry generated, including bed linens, towels, and staff uniforms.

Powering both the Giant C Max and the Titan C Max machines is LG’s Inverter Direct Drive. Unlike the traditional belt and pulley, the LG Commercial Laundry drum is directly attached to the motor providing superior durability and reliability. Less parts equal less repairs.Even with its size and large capacity, the noise of both models are also greatly reduced. Multiple dampers absorb vibration and reduce noise creating a quieter washing environment.

Blessing of the Hospital laundry area

The washing machine donations provided tremendous help for the medical center, which serves as a laboratory for the College of Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry. Dr. Gelito of West Visayas State University Medical Center shares, “I was elated (of the donations). Laundry services is a backline service of the hospital. Yet it is an important service because we’re able to provide clean linens and sheets. With these donations, it will lighten the load of our personnel.” Mr. Fabresis mentions that we he heard about LG and BigWash’s project in one of the hospitals in Manila, he also hoped that he can do something for the Ilonggos at the WVSU.

Going into detail, Ms. Marylouie Gatuz, Product Marketing Manager for Commercial Laundry, discusses “Both machines help keep the hospital linens fresh, crisp, and germ-free. The Giant C-Max is equipped with a two-step hygiene care laundry system. The first step ensures that our machines are sanitized before, during, and after each load, while the second step is meant to sanitize your fabrics, killing 99.99% of germs and viruses. With this technology, the day-to-day laundry operations of West Visayas State University Medical Center has been a breeze.” Ms. Janille Umali, B2B Assistant Marketing Communications Manager of LG, speaking about the donations, stated “It is important that we go back to one of LG's core values, which is human-centered innovation. We chose to focus on health and hygiene because we believe that these are the two things that help the healthcare industry thrive.”

Wash and Save this Summer with LG's Washer and Dryer Technology

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but it also means more laundry. Whether it's sandy beach towels or sweaty workout clothes, a reliable washing machine is a must-have for any household. If you're in the look out for a new washing machine, here are four features to consider before making your purchase.

Capacity - The capacity of a washing machine refers to the amount of laundry it can hold in one cycle. If you have a large family or regularly wash bulky items like comforters or pillows, a washing machine with a larger capacity is a must-have. However, if you live by yourself or have limited space, a smaller capacity washing machine may be more practical. LG’s washing machines are designed to carry large loads in a very compact chassis, perfect even in tight spaces.

Energy Efficiency - Energy-efficient washing machines are not only better for the environment, but they can also save you money on your energy bill. Look for washing machines with an Energy Star rating, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines. LG’s Dual Inverter Heat Pump for example, was awarded the Energy Star Most Efficient Mark in 2021 and offers up to 65% energy savings. Another feature that increases efficiency is LG’s Turbowash, which uses a Jet Spray to get a half-load of your washing clean in 59 minutes. The improved process reduces that time by a further 20, getting your laundry done in just 39 minutes using high-pressure sprays that wash and rinse your clothes more efficiently, using less water and therefore less energy.

Noise Level - If your laundry room is located near living spaces or bedrooms, a noisy washing machine can be a major disturbance. Look for washing machines that have a low decibel rating, which means they operate quietly. LG's Direct Drive Motor is connected to a washing machine tub directly without any belt or pulley, minimizing noise vibrations. This simplified structure helps running washing machines to be quiet and reliable.

Smart Features - Smart washing machines offer a range of features that can make laundry day easier and more efficient. LG’s washing machines provide seamless integration with the Smart ThinQ app. The app will then diagnose any problems that you might be having with your machine and give you a solution. It also lets you control, schedule, and monitor your laundry cycles remotely through your smartphone in real-time.

When purchasing a new washing machine for the summer season, consider its capacity, energy efficiency, noise level, and smart features. LG’s washing machines, which was named the No.1 Home Laundry Appliances brand in ASEAN and No.1 Automatic Dryer brand in Asia Pacific by Euromonitor International Limited, meet all these criteria while also providing excellent aftersales and competitive pricing. By taking these factors into account, you can find the washing machine that meets your needs and helps make laundry day a breeze.

LG’S Inverter Direct Drive Motor Reaches Milestone with 100 Million Units Produced

A Key Component of Premium LG Washing Machines for More than Two Decades, Company’s Innovative Motor Technology Continues to Evolve for Excellence

LG Electronics (LG) announces that production of its Inverter Direct Drive™ (DD™) motor has exceeded 100 million units. The company’s differentiated motor technology is a major factor in the strong, reliable performance and continuing global popularity of LG’s industry-leading laundry solutions.

From 1998 to the end of 2022, the company produced, on average, over 12,000 Inverter DD motors per day. LG’s Inverter DD motor connects directly to the washing drum, an innovation that helps make LG washing machines more durable and dramatically reduces noise and energy consumption during operation.

LG has refined the Inverter DD motor over four generations, continuously improving the technology and its performance capabilities to deliver greater customer value. The company holds over 240 Inverter DD motor related technology patents in Korea and internationally. In 2019, the company applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the Inverter DD motor to further enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. Used in LG’s premium washing machines and dryers, the AI DD motor leverages deep learning technology to detect the weight of each load and the types of fabrics being washed. It then selects the optimal combination of drum movements from the company’s proprietary 6 Motion tech – which enables six discrete drum movements – to care and clean for users’ laundry.

Last year, LG brought its advanced Inverter DD motor to its dryers for the first time. Like the company’s washers, LG dryers also offer 6 Motion (Tumble, Swing, Rolling, Stepping, Scrubbing, and Filtration) technology to boost drying performance and minimize fabric damage. LG’s inverter motor technology – specifically, the AI DD – became the first home appliance technology to earn Deep Learning AI Verification from global safety science company, (UL) Underwriters Laboratories.

“The number of Inverter DD motors produced points to the excellence of the motor technology LG has developed for its premium laundry solutions,” said Kim Yang-sun, head of the Component Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to create highly efficient core components that boost the performance and reliability of our products while also reducing carbon emissions during operation.”
