Control and troubleshoot your washing machine, refrigerator, TV and other household appliances with the LG ThinQ app, wherever you are

In a smart-home sector populated with a myriad of apps and technology, LG ThinQ stands out as an eminently intuitive, practical, and convenient offering. In keeping with the home electronics brand’s mantra of “innovation for a better life”, ThinQ is a human-centred innovation comprising smart appliances that utilise machine learning, along with an accompanying smartphone application that offers a highly personalised user experience and a much easier way to manage your household.

While interoperability between various smart appliances can sometimes encounter hitches or making adjustments can be a complicated affair with several control apps, LG ThinQ lets you manage your products via just one centralised app that unifies over 150 services, including Google Assistant. The ThinQ app features functions enabled by AI (artificial intelligence) to let you remotely operate and monitor your ThinQ-enabled appliances from anywhere; with voice recognition capabilities allowing convenient control of your products through conversational commands.

So named because it “thinks” for “you”, ThinQ’s machine-learning capabilities observe and learn your usage patterns to optimise processes. For instance, LG refrigerators can automatically enter power-saving mode at times of the day when they aren’t frequently accessed to reduce energy costs. Similarly, LG air-conditioners can “remember” your ideal temperature settings across the day, and dryers can connect wirelessly to washing machines to set the most appropriate drying cycle based on the wash cycle.

The LG ThinQ app even alerts users before issues arise, such as informing you when it is time to change your refrigerator’s water filter or get a top-up for your air-con’s refrigerant. From washing machines and refrigerators to air-purifiers and OLED TVs, we highlight eight standout appliances that harness LG’s ThinQ technology for easier everyday living.

Got a last-minute dinner appointment and nothing spiffy enough at hand? Fret not: The ultra-convenient LG styler can give your favourite suit or dress a quick refresh and get it ready to wear, even if it’s all wrinkled and musty from hanging in the closet. The TrueSteam function uses pure water to get rid of wrinkles and odours from clothes while eliminating more than 99.9 per cent of viruses and bacteria; it’s the perfect way to sanitise clothing that is difficult to wash. The LG styler even works to refresh the surrounding clothes and air in the room, while its reflective surface acts as a mirror so you can see how you look in your fresh new outfit. How’s that for practicality?

2. LG WashTower

The minimalist, compact LG WashTower is a perfect fit for tight spaces with its stacked arrangement, and a refreshing departure from the typically staid hues of home appliances with its green and beige tones. This all-in-one washer-and-dryer features a control panel conveniently located at the centre of the device, while smart features automatically detect the fabric weight and fabric type to set the best washing pattern, leading to 18 per cent more fabric protection. Its Smart Pairing feature also automatically sets the appropriate drying cycle based on the washing cycle, resulting in less wear-and-tear as a result of the laundry process. The LG ThinQ app conveniently keeps users informed of cycle times, energy usage, and alerts. 

3. LG InstaView Door-in-Door Refrigerator

The LG InstaView Door-in-Door Refrigerator in the New Noble Steel colourway makes a sleek addition to any contemporary kitchen, with metallic walls and silver accents that boast designer cred. One of the refrigerator’s most impressive features is its energy-saving “Door-in-Door” function; users just need to knock twice on the mirrored glass panel to see what’s inside. FRESHBalancer technology maintains the right humidity to help fruits and vegetables last longer, while the express freezing function is especially useful when you need ice in a jiffy. The refrigerator responds to voice commands via an AI speaker, and the LG ThinQ app will also notify you if you forget to close the fridge door.

Doing the dishes will never be easier with the LG QuadWash Dishwasher, a dinner host’s veritable dream come true. The LG QuadWash functionality features four Multi-Motion spray arms that rotate back and forth as they spin, while high-pressure jets clean dishes from every angle. The appliance also makes use of TrueSteam technology to break down gunk on soiled crockery and ensure squeaky-clean dishes with fewer water spots, and is also among the quietest dishwashers in its class at a mere 38-44dB (akin to ambient library noise). LG’s ThinQ technology sends you a smartphone alert when a wash cycle is done; users can also check on the cycle status via voice commands.

5. LG PuriCare AeroFurniture

The LG PuriCare AeroFurniture performs multiple functions as a side table and an air purifier, which makes it ideal for space-starved homes. A 360-degree HEPA filter disperses fresh air in every direction and gets rid of 99.9 per cent of airborne bacteria and ultrafine dust as small as 0.01 microns, while UVnano technology eliminates 99.99 per cent of bacteria on the fan blades. Other practical touches include a tabletop wireless charging station as well as built-in bulbs that illuminate the entire structure in a range of different hues, controllable via the LG ThinQ app. There’s essentially no better time to pick one up than now, especially with the haze set to hit Singapore imminently due to the warmer weather.

6. LG PuriCare AeroTower Air Purifying Fan

The LG PuriCare AeroTower won a Red Dot Design Award in 2022, with the jury members praising its “extraordinary sculptural form” and “sophisticated air-purification concept”. Indeed, the AeroTower’s design was inspired by ravines, and is able to provide clean air in any room with its 3-way airflow mode; the Direct Mode can be used for a focus breeze on individuals, the Wide Mode when a bigger room needs to be cooled for the whole family, and the Diffusion Mode to always keep your entire space clean. A 360-degree HEPA filter and UVnano technology put paid to bacteria and ultrafine dust particles, while its fan function and extended room coverage mean you get to enjoy a clean, cool breeze wherever you are in a space. Its built-in wi-fi connects to your ThinQ app for easy control and access to information such as the temperature, humidity level, air flow direction, and air quality.

7. LG Artcool Multi-Split Inverter Air-Conditioner

Think of LG’s Artcool multi-split inverter air-conditioner as an air-con on steroids: it features powerful Plasmaster Ioniser+ technology, which destroys harmful and contagious microscopic particles by infusing the air that passes through the air-conditioner with over three million ions, effectively sterilising and deodorising the air in the room. An auto-cleaning function also eliminates humidity in the appliance itself, inhibiting the growth of mould and bacteria on the heat exchanger and ensuring that the cooling performance of the air-conditioner remains unchanged even after 10 years of use. The LG Artcool air-conditioner is accessible anywhere with a wi-fi equipped device and the LG ThinQ app.

8. LG C3 OLED TV

OLED TVs are the pinnacle of high-definition television sets, providing the best picture quality in terms of perfectly saturated colours, true black levels and judder-free motion. The LG C3 OLED TV incorporates the α9 AI Processor 4K Gen6 for stellar picture and sound quality, while Light Control Architecture and a Light Boosting Algorithm help the TV’s self-lit pixels to shine more brightly for a better overall HDR image and contrast. Thin bezels ensure that the TV blends into the background for the picture quality to take centre stage, augmented by a special synergy bracket that pushes the triple up-firing speakers to their peak potential and Dolby Atmos for more immersive, spatial audio.
