- Capable of washing up to 13Kg and drying up to 8Kg
- The global washing machine market is demanding ever-increasing capacity
- Enhanced washing and draining power, enabling water and energy conservation
LG Electronics (LGE) (Vice Chairman and CEO: S. S. Kim/www.lge.com) has unveiled the 13kg front-loading washing machine (front loader) (model: WD-R130AH) in Korea on February 25.
As a home front loader boasting of the world's largest capacity, the model reflects consumers' demand for larger types.
In North America, 10Kg top loading washing machines were the mainstream in the past. Today, however, demand for front loaders are on the rise, with their share expected to grow from 5% in 2001 to 20% this year. Seeing how consumers let laundry pile up and wash it once a week, LGE developed the large-capacity washing machine.
In addition, demand for washing machines with larger capacity that can wash even beddings is expected to increase, considering the increasing number of people who are growing aware about the health and living environment and washing even their beddings once a week in addition to their clothes.
The 13kg new front-loading washing machine has the same exterior size as the 12kg model but boasts of larger capacity and enhanced space efficiency.
In general, the bigger the washing drum is, the more difficult it is to develop large-capacity motors and control vibrations. To address these problems, LGE has developed and adopted the New Direct Drive, and Triple Damping System technologies.
The company's 13Kg new front loader improves washing power and draining power by 11% and 60%, respectively. Likewise, up to 12% water and 10% electricity are saved.
By unveiling the new product, LGE is expected to reinforce its technological leadership in the global front-loading washing machine market.
