LG introduces washer equipped with DeepThinQ AI tech

SEOUL, June 19 (Yonhap) -- LG Electronics Inc. on Tuesday released a washer equipped with its artificial-intelligence system dubbed "DeepThinQ," which is capable of understanding users' voice commands.

The South Korean tech giant said the LG Tromm ThinQ washer, F21VBV, is capable of understanding voice-based orders and recommending optimized washing programs for users.

Connecting to the latest weather reports, LG said the washer is capable bolstering its drain cycle in case of rain.

LG Electronics said it will continue to release more home appliances equipped with the AI technology to improve everyday lives of its customers.
