New LG AI Smart Washer Coming in 2020

[littlegreeny]

LG just announced a new smart washer that uses artificial intelligence to determine the kind of cycle to use based on what type of laundry is placed inside. It also has a detergent and fabric softener dispensing system as well as their new Turbowash 360 system. It will even tell the dryer what cycle to use based on what it washed. Here is a link to their announcement at CES 2020:

I found it somewhere, that the square door model is wm4500hba- there is a retailer online that says they'll start shipping it 1/23-127... I don't know if that really true.
In another video on LG Global on youtube, theres another model coming out, on the door it says real tempered glass. Im not sure what that really means, but soon it will come out with more info. Im excited to get these!

The square door model has smaller looking baffles, or i should say, it looks stainless steel and built right into the tub.

The 24" models that have been out in Urope for months have the tempered glass door cover, as well as the stainless drum baffles.

real tempered glass.

I think that's a jab at Whirlpool's new line announced a year ago that appears to have plastic door "window".

What level of intellect does the machine have preloaded?  Looks like it's not housebroken.

Two new models are now appearing on LG's website:

I really like the sleek look of the second one (WM4200HBA)

Thank you David. Been looking for these for the past 3 weeks or so. Found them yesterday, but still no manuals. Appliance Connections says shipments late August, early September now.

auto-dosing system

I'm interested in the auto-dosing system. What do they look like and where are they located?

 

[whatsername]

Those do look nice. I am surprised the twin wash system has lived this long. It seemed like a gimmick at launch and I didn’t think they’d still be around. I’d like to get one with my next pair, just for fun. When I move the current set is going to stay with the house.

Auto Dosing System

The reservoir is built right into the dispenser drawer and holds 18 loads worth of detergent and fabric softener.

dispenser

Which bulk dispenser is which? GE has theirs on the back of the dispenser. How do I know which one's which? This would be beneficial to me.

Twin Wash

My MIL and SIL have the LG 4370 with the twin wash pedestal washer. Wash temps are tepid at best, so I'm not really a fan but they both seem to love them.[this post was last edited: 8/8/2020-16:02]

If you zoom in on the pic, softener is on the left and detergent is on the right.

The LG app will even tell you when it needs to be refilled.

dispenser cap

is the lg bulk dispenser equipped with a flip cap like the GE or a screw on cap?

Tepid Twin Wash at best

I've been aware of that for quite some time. A disaster in my books. Plus might encourage others to think it's ok to do incessant small loads. Besides, thinking what some of those small loads could entail, tepid temps wouldn't be enough to clean.

The new 4500 and 4200 are on Home Depot's web site along with full product manual.

Thanks Bob for pointing that out. It's interesting that turbowash can no longer be turned off during the normal or heavy duty cycles.

What I really like is with the 4500, you can totally adjust the amount of detergent and fabric softener dispensed. The default amounts can be increased or decreased in 0.1 oz (3 ml) increments, within a range of 0.3 oz (9 ml) to 6.0 oz (180 ml). And then you can further adjust it up or down depending on the load if you want. What I also like is the reservoirs can be removed and completely opened up for easy cleaning. This washer sounds brilliantly engineered. Whirlpool could learn a thing or two from LG.
