LG Total Clothing Care solution covers all bases with washers, a dryer, more

By Lulu Chang Published August 29, 2017

Getting your clothes clean could get a bit easier. It’s all thanks to LG and its new Total Clothing Care solution, which is slated for its grand debut at IFA 2017 later this week. The company is set to unveil the latest TWINWash washing machines, which are now available in a range of sizes, including a large-capacity 27-inch option and a slightly smaller 24-inch version.

Whether you live in a closet — er, studio in Manhattan or a ranch in Texas, you’ll likely be able to find an LG washer that fits your needs. Upon their debut in 2015, the TWINWash machines were the first to boast twin-load capabilities — because sometimes, there’s just a lot of laundry to be done. These washers also boast TrueSteam and TurboWash features that together claim to eliminate most allergens, wrinkles, and odors.

Also part of the new product release is a new drying solution, rather predictably named the LG New Dryer. Promising to minimize fabric damage by way of a low drying temperature, this machine also claims to help you save time and the planet with its Turbo Mode and Eco Mode. As the names suggest, Turbo Mode is meant to provide users with a quicker drying experience, whereas Eco Mode aims to save energy and emit less noise.

Finally, to ensure that you’re truly taking care of your wardrobe, LG is releasing its Styler. By using TrueSteam technology, this steamer sanitizes your clothing while cutting down on wrinkles and odors. So even if you don’t have time to throw your favorite dress in the wash, at least you can make it seem like it did. The Styler also features a Moving Hanger, which shakes clothing during the steaming process to reduce wrinkles. And if you’re steaming pants in advance of a big event, the LG Easy Pants Crease promises to form a crisp line down each leg’s center.

“LG’s vision for total clothing care, with washing, drying, and styling solutions to meet laundry needs from start to finish, is exemplified by the company’s latest home appliances, which we’ll be showing at IFA,” said Song Dae-hyun, president of LG’s Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.

Ultraloq showcases the first-ever ultra-wideband smart lock at CES 2025

Bolt Mission UWB + NFC installed on a white door.

Ultraloq showed off two smart locks at CES 2025 -- one of which is the first smart lock to ever offer ultra-wideband (UWB) support. The Ultraloq Bolt Mission UWB + NFC uses UWB technology to unlock automatically as you approach your front door. Similar functionality already exists on other smart locks, but UWB should allow the Ultraloq Bolt Mission to be more accurate than the competition.

The Bolt Mission uses technology similar to digital car keys, and Ultraloq says it can track the keyholder’s phone location with “centimeter-level” accuracy. As your phone gets closer to the front door, the Bolt Mission can be programmed to automatically unlock, giving you a hands-free way to get inside. Better yet, because the smart lock can detect both your distance and direction from the front door, it should prevent you from accidentally unlocking the smart lock while inside your home.

Ulticam shows off three AI-powered security cameras at CES 2025

The Ulticam IQ installed outside a home.

Ulticam, the new security camera brand of Xthings, revealed a lineup of three AI-powered cameras at CES 2025. The Ulticam IQ, Ulticam IQ Floodlight, and Ulticam Dot offer not just cool AI capabilities, but also free seven-day cloud storage -- which could make them a solid choice for value-minded shoppers leery about signing up for monthly storage plans.

The Ulticam IQ and IQ Floodlight are the main attractions, as they're packed with features that should pose solid competition for the best smart security cameras from Arlo, Nest, and Ring. The duo uses edge AI to quickly identify people, vehicles, and packages without needing to upload the video for server-side processing. This onboard processing should result in faster performance -- it’s also great for privacy and security, as your footage doesn’t have to leave your device.

Home Depot expands Hubspace smart home lineup at CES 2025

Hubspace, Home Depot’s smart home platform, has seen impressive growth over the past few years, and that growth continued at CES 2025. Three new gadgets were revealed at the event, including a wireless power switch to control Hubspace products, a portable air conditioner, and a window-mounted air conditioner. All three are unique additions to the catalog -- and since there’s not much like them on the market, they should quickly become popular options in their respective niches.

The Hubspace Remote Switch is arguably the most useful of the three gadgets. Designed to look like a light switch, but with a removable remote controller, it works with select Hubspace light bulbs, fixtures, plugs, power sockets, surge protectors, and more. You’ll get standard on and off functions, plus access to brightness controls. Its sleek looks and versatility should make it a great choice for shoppers seeking an entry-level smart switch.
