[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]At the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), LG Electronics (LG) is proudly displaying its front-load washing machine featuring the industry’s largest capacity . Designed to save homeowners time and energy, the 5.1 cu.ft. capacity washer is capable of cleaning more clothes per load. It can even handle an entire king-sized bedding set - including the comforter - in a single wash.
According to a nationwide survey, women in the U.S. spend on average eight hours per week doing laundry. Unsurprisingly, 75 percent described the task as tedious and overly time-consuming. With its huge capacity and speedy cycles, LG’s Mega-Capacity TurboWash™ Front-Load Washer (Model WM8000) brings much needed balance to homeowners’ lives.
The WM8000 washing machine utilizes the power of LG’s TurboWash™ technology to produce an outstanding cleaning performance and save consumers a full 20 minutes per load . Equipped with the powerful and energy efficient Inverter Direct Drive motor, the innovative washing machine is sure to impress discerning American consumers. As proof of its eco-friendly credentials, LG’s washer carries the ENERGY STAR? “Most Efficient” rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
“We designed this machine specifically to meet consumer demand for a washing machine that can handle larger loads while offering shorter wash cycles and greater energy efficiency,” said Seong-jin Jo, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “We have succeeded on all fronts and we think customers are going to be highly impressed with this appliance.”
