Can AI Save Your Laundry Bills? LG Thinks so.
TL;DR
  • HeatPump technology for reduced energy use
  • Washer-Dryer Combo with under two-hour cycles
  • AI DD fabric care and microplastic reduction

LG has released a new range of washing machines and dryers in the UAE, promising lower energy use, better fabric care, and smarter features. The lineup includes the Washer-Dryer Combo, the Vivace series, and the stacked WashTower – all powered by LG’s AI and HeatPump technology.


HeatPump technology for lower bills

LG’s HeatPump system is designed to cut energy use while keeping clothes properly dried. The company says the new dryers meet the highest Energy Class A rating.

  • HeatPump drying uses less power than conventional systems
  • Clothes dry faster while keeping fabrics protected
  • Reduced energy bills for UAE households

The technology relies on dual inverter motors and low-GWP refrigerants, which use up to 60% less energy. In practice, that means lower running costs without losing performance, which is important in a country where air conditioning already dominates electricity use.


Washer-Dryer Combo with two-hour full cycle

The standout model is the Washer-Dryer Combo with Inverter HeatPump. It runs a full wash and dry cycle in under two hours, removing the need to move clothes between machines.

  • Energy Class A performance across both wash and dry
  • Runs faster than most two-step systems
  • Saves space with a single appliance

For people in Dubai apartments with limited space, this could be a practical choice. It offers speed, space efficiency, and noticeable savings in energy.


Smarter washing with AI fabric care

LG has also added AI-powered wash technology, branded as AI DD. The system detects the weight and type of fabrics, then adjusts the wash to avoid damage and save power.

  • AI DD detects fabric type and load weight
  • Optimises water and cycle settings
  • Reduces wear on delicate fabrics

On top of this, the Microplastic Care Cycle reduces the release of plastic fibres by up to 60% per load. With global concerns over microplastics growing, this feature could help eco-conscious UAE households contribute less waste to the environment.


AI-powered drying and connected features

Drying cycles also get smarter with AI Dual Inverter technology. The AI Dry feature senses fabric type and moisture levels, then adjusts heat and speed to prevent shrinking.

  • AI Dry detects humidity and fabric type
  • Customisable settings with LG ThinQ app
  • Notifications for cycle completion

The ThinQ app also lets users control their washing machine remotely, check progress, download wash cycles, and get troubleshooting help. Extra touches like delayed drying notifications, drum light controls, and a new Comfort Kit add convenience to daily use.


Designed for UAE homes

LG’s latest laundry appliances are available in multiple colours and finishes. The streamlined designs fit into modern interiors while providing intuitive displays and automatic cycle optimisation.

  • Available across UAE retailers
  • Different sizes and finishes to match interiors
  • Smart features accessible through LG ThinQ

For households in the Emirates, where energy efficiency and water use are key concerns, these new models balance sustainability with convenience.


What makes LG’s new washing machines energy efficient?

They use HeatPump technology with dual inverter motors, which reduce power use by up to 60% compared to standard dryers.

How does AI fabric care work?

The AI DD system detects the fabric type and weight of each load, then adjusts washing patterns to reduce wear and improve cleaning.

Are these models available in the UAE now?

Yes, the new LG laundry solutions are available through UAE retailers, with options for standalone washers, dryers, and all-in-one units.
