Upgradeable Easy-to-Use Appliances

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These LG Minimalist Appliances Offer an Effortless Experience

— December 27, 2022 — Tech
It's no secret that home appliances have become increasingly more complex over the years, so these LG minimalist appliances have been shown off as an upcoming range of solutions to streamline the user experience.

The appliances, set to be unveiled formally at CES 2023, will feature a very simple user interface with minimal buttons and options to choose from. This is intended to make the appliances as intuitive and easy to get going as possible rather than requiring users to try and figure out all the intricate details.

The LG minimalist appliances also showcase an upgradeable functionality, which will combat against the concept of designed obsolescence and help consumers to reap the most benefits from the system during its entire lifespan. The appliances include a washing machine, dryer, fridge, oven and dishwasher.
