LG joins up with Designers Guild to launch a stunning new range of limited edition Steam Washing Machines
The new limited edition Steam Direct Washing Machine from LG and Designers Guild combines state of the art home technology with cutting-edge interior style. The collaboration has produced four eye-catching home appliances created to challenge the design and function of traditional white goods.
The limited edition Steam Direct Drive comes in four stylish prints: Cloisonné – striking dark flowers on a black background, Imperial Flower – a regal red floral design on white, the light green on white airy floral Sevilla and a modern geometric design Ribailagua.
The machine itself is a world first. It uses a unique Dual Spray system to spray hot steam and water on fabric continuously and improve washing performance. Plus your conscience can rest as the technology is eco-friendly - using 35% less water* and 21% less energy than traditional washers** and rated ‘A++’ for energy efficiency. Best of all, the machine’s Refresh programme uses steam only to remove creases in garments in just 20 minutes, eliminating the need for ironing!
The Steam Direct Drive washing machine operates silently as the drum is attached directly to the motor without a noisy belt connecting the two. Plus there’s the option of a remote monitoring system so you can check the progress of your washing from anywhere in the house!
