LG Showcases Eco-Friendly Innovations at IFA 2024 with Energy-Efficient Appliances and Smart Home Solutions

LG Electronics has unveiled its latest lineup of energy-efficient home appliances designed to meet the growing demand for sustainability while addressing Africa's unique energy challenges. The new products were rolled out at the world's largest consumer electronics and home appliances trade show, Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA) 2024. 

In alignment with global sustainability goals, LG's new products set a benchmark for energy efficiency, supporting the African Union’s Agenda 2063, which aims to foster a green economy across the continent.

“LG Electronics is committed to being a responsible global leader by developing eco-friendly technologies that reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable living, particularly in Africa,” said Oktae Kim, Product Director, Home Appliance Division, LG Electronics Nigeria. “We will continue to innovate using our core technologies, such as inverter solutions, to expand our range of high-efficiency appliances.”

Among LG’s latest offerings, the new washing machine and dryer stand out for their exceptional energy-saving features. The washing machine, powered by Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive (AI DD), optimizes motor speed to reduce energy consumption by 55%, while ensuring clothes are thoroughly cleaned without tangling. It also features a Microplastic Care cycle to minimise microplastic release from clothing and the ezDispense system for precise detergent use.

The new dryer boasts an impressive A+++-26% energy rating and, like the washing machine, incorporates AI-driven enhancements. AI Dry ensures optimal moisture control, adapting drying settings based on the fabric type. Both appliances offer a personalized experience, adjusting cycles and temperature settings based on the user's habits for greater convenience.

With these innovations, LG continues to lead in creating smart, eco-friendly solutions that align with global sustainability efforts while addressing regional challenges.

 Refrigerators with High Efficiency and Premium Design

Offering the lowest energy consumption of any refrigerator currently on the market, the new LG bottom-freezer refrigerator has an A-25 percent energy rating and brings style to the kitchen with its premium flat door design. In addition, the new model generates only 29dB during operation for a more peaceful kitchen environment. To give European customers greater choice, LG is expanding its line of highly efficient refrigerators, introducing a large capacity side-by-side model in addition to the new bottom-freezer. The new side-by-side refrigerator offers convenient features, such as the company’s unique Craft Ice spherical-ice maker, and easy hygiene management with UVnano technology.

 Convenient and Efficient Kitchen Solution

Along with A++ energy efficiency, LG’s new 60-centimeter (24-inch) built-in InstaView oven presents a variety of cutting-edge features and AI technologies to elevate the culinary experience. The oven provides a total of 80 Auto Cook modes, and, with Gourmet AI™️, can identify the dish being cooked through its built-in camera, and automatically select the appropriate cooking mode from a database of 30 recipes. Making life in the kitchen that much easier, LG’s InstaView technology lets users check on their meal’s progress without even having to open the door, helping to preserve the temperature inside the oven and prevent energy waste.

Incorporating the company’s power-saving Inverter Direct Drive Motor™, the new LG QuadWash dishwasher has an energy efficiency rating of A-20 percent. The dishwasher also enhances convenience with its Side Rack and 3rd Rack options, offering users the loading flexibility to accommodate a variety of different kitchenware.
