LG has produced some of our highest-rated front-load washers, but the clear draw of the WM4500 is the AI integration. In years past, the company could be accused of over-engineering the user experience, adding an excessive number of cycle options and even allowing users to download additional cycles that were pre-programmed.
The new approach makes more sense: Let the AI figure it out. As clothes spin around and brush past the sensors in the drum, the washer is able to detect what types of items are included. At the press conference, LG reps specifically mentioned jeans, towels, and shirts. It’s unclear at this time if there’s an “official list” of items that can be identified, but one can presume that if the technology is truly being driven by AI and talking to the network all the time, the variety and subtlety of detection will increase over time.
