When you hear the name Hisense you may think of TVs, but do you know they offer laundry appliances?
The Hisense X-Zone Master is the world’s first infinitely scalable modular washer-dryer system. At the heart of this innovation is a groundbreaking three-drum washer-dryer that redefines multitasking in the laundry room. Continue reading “Hisense X-Zone Master”
Research about microplastics pollution is just starting to emerge among scientists, but it is a major concern.
You may recall attention focused on banning or advocating for the discontinuation of tiny plastic particles in the form of microplastic beads from cosmetics, toothpaste and other consumer products often too small to be filtered by wastewater treatment plants.
These work their way from our sinks and showers through treatment plants and into the oceans, where they make their way into the digestive tracts of sea turtles, sea birds and fish (and, subsequently, humans). Continue reading “Fighting Microfiber Pollution”
I’m so happy BLANCO expanded their line of kitchen sinks to now include the laundry.
The LIVEN Laundry Sink was introduced this past January at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS). Continue reading “Add Style to Your Laundry Center”
This could be the ultimate addition to your closet or laundry room.
The LG Styler is designed to refresh clothes without detergents, while reducing wrinkles, removing odors, and sanitizing garments.
LG Styler is ideal for items that are delicate, cumbersome or otherwise less-than-ideal to tumble in your dryer.
The Sanitary cycle powered by TrueSteam helps to reduce household allergens and dust mites for family members who have allergies and sensitive skin.
If you own a lot of garments that you drip dry and are tired of seeing them hang from every possible ledge, you’ll appreciate the Gentle Dry setting. The Styler’s low temperature drying system dries clothing and delicates much faster than air drying.
The “Refresh” setting, available in Light, Normal and Heavy, enlists steam to remove wrinkles and you can stick a dryer sheet in the built-in “aroma” compartment to help mask odors.
The unit comes with special hangers that fit in notches on the clothes rod that is designed to shake. Moving Hanger Action gently shakes steamed items to remove everyday wrinkles.
The Easy Pants Crease Care feature is capable of refreshing and creasing a pair of dress pants in just thirty minutes. Night Care is an extra heavy sanitizing setting. It runs the Sanitary Heavy cycle and then dries periodically every hour for an additional eight hours. The Air Fresh cycle gently removes moisture and dust from fur, leather, and silk without damage.
The LG Styler is rated for 120V, 12.5 Amps so it can plug in almost anywhere. This can be especially handy if your laundry room is on the other side of the house.
The water for the steam is held in a reservoir so no plumbing is needed. A separate reservoir catches the steam as it cools and will require emptying.
The unit is 17 ½” X 72 3/4” x 23” and requires 2″ clearance on the sides so it can’t be built-in like an integral refrigerator.
Smart Diagnosis alerts users via NFC when the unit requires maintenance or repair. With NFC Tag-On, owners can install a free app and download customized cycles specific to a garment type and program the Styler with your phone.
A larger commercial unit will be available the latter half of 2016.
