The internet and kitchen appliances aren’t two things you think would be compatible. However, the latest product in development by the Korean electronics giant LG does just that. Their latest washing machine comes with an internet connection that enables users to download specific wash cycles which greatly improves the convenience you might expect from such an appliance. If you buy a Hotpoint washing machine from appliancesdirect.co.uk, you would expect it to do the basic job to a good standard, but LG’s latest product shows that the technology involved in making them is advancing all the time.
Every product from LG’s new ThinQ range of appliances comes with internet connectivity, which is designed to make using them even easier than before. All ThinQ appliances from fridge freezers to ovens will be connected to some sort of network, where users can perform all manner of useful functions designed to improve convenience and make doing household chores less labour-intensive. The range was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to a crowd of surprised visitors wondering if they were a sign of things to come for domestic technology.
What can internet connectivity do for kitchen appliances such as a tumble dryer found at Appliances Direct? You may be confused, but it can do all sorts, and with internet connectivity becoming commonplace in most modern homes via TVs, game consoles, smartphones and, of course, home computers, kitchen appliances represent the next logical step, especially with washing machines. When you get home from work, you might want to wash some clothes for the next day, but find that programming your washing machine would take too long.
Network-connected washing machines can eliminate all that by allowing you to set several specific wash cycles and simply select or download it at the push of a button. This will help to save time for anyone who leads a busy lifestyle, while also leaving spare time to rest after a hard day at work. This technology could soon become commonplace, but that depends on how well the ThinQ appliances do if made available for general sale to the public.
