New LG AI Smart Washer Coming in 2020

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

The only pods I use are cascade pods and find they do great in the dishwasher. As for laundry it is only Tide regular powder or Tide/w bleach powder when I can get it.Tide is the ONLY powder left at my local ShopRite.
 
Cost wise I've never had an issue finding pods on sale at a reasonable cost.  As I said I will never use a liquid as I have a great dislike for the product.    Powder is fine but I like the results I get with pods so I'll stick with them.
 
I'm smart

enough to operate a non smart appliance. Sorry, but all these new fangled smart things reminds me of the movie where a computer holds a woman hostage inside her house. Yes, fact is always strabger than fiction though.
 
LG just posted five new videos about the new ezDispense system in the new WM 4500.

It's somewhat intuitive as it will automatically adjust the amount of softener and detergent dispensed up to 30% depending on the load size.

 
Telling the dryer what to do . . . .

I'm looking at the WM4000 washer which seems to be the replacement for the famous WM3900.

Like the square door machines, the 4000 says it has the same AI stuff to analyze the load and make decisions and pass cycle info on to the dryer, but I don't see anything in the manuals for any of the AI.

I understand that the load analysis is automatic and will tweak whatever cycle you select, apparently no input from the user needed or possible.

Same for telling the dryer what to do? It says: "Washer can auto-select a compatible drying cycle." CAN select tells me I have a choice, but I don't see a button any info about how to use it/control it.

Anyone find anything?

Thanks!

Everything old is new again

Even my grandma's early 2000s Miele will adjust the Cotton cycle depending on the load sensed: cottons, synthetics or mixed loads... a different cycle pattern is executed. Wash time, tumble pattern, rinses, water level, spin profile - everything is adjusted. There's also a dedicated Automatic cycle to promote/take advantage of the sensing capabilities.

As far as the washer suggesting a cycle to the companion dryer: when GE brought the Harmony pair on the market (made by LG) the washer and dryer were connected via a serial cable and the washer would send a cycle suggestion to the dryer. When did they hit the market? 15 years ago?
