If it looks good and smells good, then it is good. At least that’s what we’re hoping will happen with our laundry in the LG Styler, a new washing machine that promises to clean clothes without using water or detergent. The odd innovation boasts a hot air technology that will scrub the dirt of your shirts using steam and other secret magic the company has yet to reveal.
“The LG Styler is a unique product designed for both washable and dry-cleanable clothes,” said Seong-jin Jo, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “The Styler can refresh and deodorize multiple fabrics, from shirts, sweaters and ties, to suits and thick winter coats, so they stay wearable longer, limiting sometimes expensive dry-cleaning.”
The LG Styler also boasts a Moving Hanger feature that will give your clothes a gentle shake to remove wrinkles, odors, and dust. If you’re not liking the way your clothes smell, the Styler can also spray select aromatic scents to mask the musk. All this is controlled by a touch panel on the front of the door, although this next-gen design is making the Styler look just like a refrigerator. It also looks like something kids can easily find themselves crawling inside.
Newer models of washing machines all claim they consume less water — but not using water or detergent at all is news to us (although steam is technically produced with a little bit of H2O). If the technology works as promise, and LG can figure out a way to childproof the machine, the Styler could be the greenest solution to combat water waste and yearly expense on expensive detergents or dry cleaning.
There are currently no release dates or price information are available; the LG Styler was officially announced back in January during CES 2013, so hopefully we will see the complete product by next year. Meanwhile, the Wisten, LG’s air conditioner that adjusts temperature when you verbally say it’s too hot or cold, should be hitting the market soon if you want a wacky, high end appliance in your home. And lets be honest with ourselves: Who doesn’t?
Few things ruin a quiet evening faster than a robot vacuum roaring through the living room. Most of us end up pausing the cleaning run, which defeats the whole purpose of owning one. Matic thinks it has the answer with its new Serene robot vacuum, and the big selling point is how little noise it makes.
The Matic Serene runs at 52 decibels even when cleaning at full power. To put that in perspective, Matic compares it to the hum of your refrigerator. It is available now for $1,695, which is $200 more than the original Matic’s current price.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.
