LG Electronics Debuts Unique Allergen-Reducing Steam Washer/D...(ts to a greater number of consumers - re...),Health

This feature-rich combo appliance is also equipped with a Direct Drive Motor, which operates without belts or pulleys, and delivers power directly from the motor to the drum, bringing consumers the benefits of reduced operating sound and vibration, as well as increased energy savings. The Direct Drive Motor combined with SpinSense(TM) -- an option that detects vibration and then adjusts the spin speed to reduce vibration -- allows for a low vibration level making this unit an ideal solution for second floor installations. The washer and dryer combo unit also features LG's SenseClean(TM) system, an intelligent fabric care technology. This system 'senses' the weight and size of the load, then determines the water level and wash time and sets it automatically resulting in optimal washing care and efficiency.

The washer/dryer also includes a 1,320 RPM spin speed for powerful water extraction and greater energy efficiency, along with a Dial-A-Cycle(TM) control panel with preset cycle selections to provide worry-free settings for optimal fabric care. The large LCD display provides instructions and diagnostics while keeping users updated on cycle status and time remaining.

The LG SteamWasher and Dryer Combo with Allergiene cycle (Model: WM3988HWA) is available now in a white finish at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,999.
