At the core of the new washer's performance is the AI DD 2.0, which utilizes deep learning technology to automatically detect the load weight, fabric softness and soil level of the garments.

The washer offers a total of up to 39 washing cycles^[4] and automatically remembers the most frequently used cycles and features to minimize the time spent on setting selection. Users can also access the Cycle List Edit option to customize their preferences based on habits.

The washer employs LG's renowned Inverter DirectDrive™ Motor, the company's advanced core component technology, to deliver a quiet performance and enhanced durability.
