According to the Energy Saving Trust, kitchen appliances like fridges and washing machines are the most energy-hungry in the house. Wet appliances (like washing machines) account for 16% of our energy bills, with cold appliances (like fridge freezers) making up 12%.
That’s what’s great about some of the latest and smartest kitchen appliances from LG. They combine clever innovations to reduce waste with cool new features you’ll want to brag about. We took a closer look…
Save energy with the LG Slim InstaView Fridge Freezer
Knock, knock – that’s all it takes to see inside your LG InstaView™ fridge! With LG’s InstaView technology, you’ll never be caught out by empty tubs of butter, dwindling pints of milk or rotten vegetables.
Simply knock on the door and you’ll see exactly what is inside your fridge. Not only is this a really fun feature that you’ll want to show off to everyone, but there’s a great reason for it too.
By not opening your fridge every time you want to grab some milk, you reduce cold air loss. That all adds up to a lot of energy saved. And, because you’re not letting cold air escape, food lasts longer too.
That’s also helped along by a clever feature called Linear Cooling. Put simply, it’ll help keep food fresh for 7 days longer. Just another smart way to cut down on food waste.
And because this fridge is super smart, it’ll learn when you use your fridge most. And when you’re using it much less, it’ll go into low power mode – saving even more energy.
You can even control your fridge from your smartphone – whether you’re on the sofa or at the supermarket. That means you can get your fridge cooling in preparation for your weekly shop.
Less waste thanks to the LG EZDispense TurboWash washing machine
How much washing detergent to you really need to use? If you’re anything like us, you may just be guessing every time and being wasteful each wash. That’s what’s really smart about the LG EZDispense TurboWash washing machine work.
Pop it onto an AI cycle and it’ll weigh your washing while working out the fabric type too! Then it’ll release just enough detergent to get the job done – which is much kinder to your clothes.
But what about TurboWash? That’s a feature that saves water and energy while giving you great results every time. And the Turbo bit comes from the fact that jets of water are sprayed directly onto your clothes while they wash – cutting laundry day waiting times.
Connect this machine to the Wi-Fi, download LG’s app and you can even monitor energy use from your smartphone, as well as starting and stopping cycles and loads more.
