LG Electronics began sales of the all-in-one washer-dryer, LG Tromm Objet Collection Wash Combo, on Wednesday.
The Tromm Wash Combo can handle both washing (25kg) and drying (15kg) in a single unit. Priced at 4.49 million won ($3,400), it significantly undercuts the Signature washer-dryer released last month for 6.9 million won.
Deliveries will be available from April 8.
With the purchase of the Tromm Wash Combo, customers will receive a cashback of 200,000 won. Purchasing the Mini Wash Set alongside will also entitle customers to a cashback of 600,000 won, according to the company.
Initially, LG Electronics had planned to release the standard product in April after launching the premium Signature washer-dryer on March 22.
However, the schedule was moved up by about two weeks in response to the success of Samsung Electronics’ washer-dryer priced in the 3.9 million won range.
LG Electronics aims to maintain its competitive edge by highlighting performance capabilities while also upholding its reputation as a leading home appliance manufacturer over rivals.
To ensure performance while maintaining compact size, LG developed its own washer-dryer-specific inverter heat pump drying module.
“We can reduce fabric damage while improving energy efficiency solely through 100 percent heat pump technology,” said a company official.
The heat pump utilizes the heat generated by circulating refrigerants to absorb moisture from the laundry.
This low-temperature dehumidification process ensures protection for the fabrics. LG Electronics applied inverter technology to achieve a 50 percent reduction in energy consumption by regulating motor speeds to operate only when necessary.
AI capabilities have also been upgraded. With the AI mode, users can wash and dry a 3kg load of laundry in just 99 minutes.
Equipped with a deep learning AI DD motor, the new washer-dryer offers customized washing and drying with 6 Motion to reduce fabric damage.
Users also have the option to install a 4kg capacity top-loader washing machine called Mini Wash underneath the Tromm Wash Combo.
By using three separate units—drum washer, dryer, and Mini Wash—LG aims to enhance the convenience of washing and drying.
The slide-out dust filter adopts a sliding mechanism for easy removal of dust from the filter. With the automatic detergent dispenser positioned at the top, users can conveniently add detergent and fabric softener without bending over.
