Still not charmed by LG's robo-vacuum?
Well, the Korean electronics manufacturer has plenty more appliances up
its capacious sleeves, including a washing machine that won't require
water. Alas, Senior Vice President for LG Electronics Home Appliance
Division, Kevin Cha, wasn't willing to divulge to us exactly how this
laundry magic trick will be performed, or whether it'll be totally
waterless rather than just virtually waterless -- it's still in the early stages of development and is (for now) a trade secret.
What we do know is that another LG model, the Styler that was unveiled
at CES this year, can already 'freshen' clothes without detergent or
water. This, too, is also going to pick up a feature upgrade, with the
company set to add some kind of ironing functionality to the upright
clothes cabinet soon. LG is also looking at an ecological re-imagining
of the refrigerator, with a prototype that can keep itself cool for six
hours without any power assistance. In general, LG says it's focusing on
next-generation smart appliances in a big way next year. Hopefully, those plans will include some of the interesting patents we've picked up recently -- and wine.
