Washing clothes in a washing machine can be a bit of a nightmare when you have lots of different types. You might have heavy fabrics that was better at 40C but also delicates that could be damaged if washed above 30C. You might have jeans with heavy soiling that need extra cleaning power; but you might have silk or other thin fabrics that need a lighter touch. Often these things can't be washed together, requiring you to split them into separate loads and wash one at at time, waiting an hour for one load to completely wash before putting in another.
LG think there's a better solution.
Look at the bottom of your washing machine. You'll probably find it has a pedestal - basically a chunk of empty plastic that helps raise the machine higher up the ground. While this can reduce some of the shakiness of the machine and reduce the reach required to load it up, that pedestal is really just wasted space - so why can't we utilise it? Revealed at CES last night, LG's crazy new solution is the Twin Wash, a slimline washing machine designed to fit in the pedestal space underneath your existing washing machine to give you a second, smaller, independently-ran drum you can slide out. Rather than purchase a single unit, the Twin Wash drum can be purchased separately and integrated with any of LG's most recent models of front-loading washing machines. The company guarantees the machine's slim inverter direct-drive motor technology with a 10-year warranty; while the machine itself will also come equipped with the company's signature smart diagnosis feature that allows faults to be determined easily by support techs over the phone.
LG are yet to comment on pricing an availability.
