Single-Unit Washer-Dryers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

LG Showcased its WashTower with Central Control at CES 2023

— January 11, 2023 — Art & Design
LG's booth at CES 2023 showcased everything from wireless 4k OLED TVs to fridges with RGB displays, and even the WashTower, a single unit front-load dual washer and dryer set. The WashTower is incredibly space-efficient with its single-unit design, with LG claiming that the device takes up roughly half the space of a traditional washer-dryer combo.

One major draw to the WashTower is its convenient control panel. All of the controls for both the washer and the dryer are located in the center of the unit, making it easy to access for customers of varying heights. This removes stepstools as a requirement for stacked laundry setups, improving aesthetics and convenience.

The LG WashTower is available in both white and black colorways at a pricepoint that has yet to be confirmed by the lifestyle electronics brand.
