LG brings 7 new home appliances to IFA 2026: From refrigerators to hair dryers

At the IFA 2026 exhibition, LG has just brought a smart home ecosystem with 7 new devices, focusing on solving familiar problems in modern urban living spaces: optimizing area, saving energy and applying practical AI. I find this approach quite reasonable. Instead of showing off things that are too far-fetched, the company brings technology in to directly serve the most basic needs in the home.

LG SIGNATURE refrigerator: Voice recognition using large language model

The first item that attracts attention is the new generation LG SIGNATURE refrigerator. What I find interesting is that the device integrates the LLM large language model, allowing us to chat naturally by voice to ask for instructions on how to store and preserve each type of ingredient instead of having to click and select it manually.

The front of the cabinet has a 6.8 inch LCD screen to support freshness management. The AI ​​Fresh feature will monitor the family's living habits to proactively cool the storage compartment about two hours before opening, helping to minimize heat loss when picking up items.

LG Fit & Max washer dryer pair: Saves electricity more than 70%, class A standard

For a family that does laundry regularly, the monthly electricity bill is always the thing I pay most attention to. The pair of new Fit & Max washer dryers going on sale in Europe this year impresses when the washing machine uses up to 70% less electricity than the minimum level of European Class A standards, and the accompanying dryer also meets energy standard A. Both operate thanks to a Direct Drive motor certified by TÜV Rheinland to last up to 30 years, combined with a Dual Inverter Heat Pump. The AI ​​Wash and AI Dry features will automatically sense fabric fibers to adjust the appropriate washing and drying cycle, helping clothes last longer.

LG WashTower 25-inch laundry and drying tower: Optimal size for medium spaces

The WashTower line of monolithic washing towers has already reached the milestone of more than 3.2 million units sold globally, and this year LG added a 25-inch version. This version is located between the previous 24-inch and 27-inch sizes, calibrated to fit into standard apartment drawers. Both the washing drum and drying drum are equipped with Inverter Direct Drive motors to help the machine run smoothly and durably. I find this 25-inch size very suitable for families living in apartments who need to gather both washing and drying into a neat corner.

LG French-Door Fit & Max refrigerator: Zero Clearance design and multi-function convertible compartment

The French-Door refrigerator model of the Fit & Max series is designed in Zero Clearance format, helping to sit close to the edge of the kitchen cabinet but the door still opens smoothly, winning iF and Red Dot 2026 design awards. The cabinet also has an intuitive 6.8-inch LCD screen. The Full Convert Drawer compartment allows flexible switching between cooling and freezing, combined with the Dual FRESHConverter+ compartment with preset independent temperature zones for each food group, supporting the arrangement of fresh food more scientifically.

LG Fit & Max dishwasher: Wash and dry in one hour

The new Fit & Max built-in dishwasher scores points thanks to the washing and drying cycle being completed in just 1 hour. The machine uses QuadWash Pro technology to create microscopic air bubbles to dissolve food plaque, combined with Hybrid Air Dry airflow to help dry dishes quickly and save electricity. The AI ​​SenseClean system is equipped with a digital turbidity sensor to measure the dirtiness of dishes, thereby automatically calculating the appropriate amount of water, temperature and detergent. The main models of this line all meet class A energy standards.

LG AirDew hair dryer: LG's first dryer with multi-directional airflow

It was quite surprising to see LG introduce the first hair dryer called AirDew. The device uses Triple Airfluidics technology to create high-speed multi-directional airflow to help hair dry quickly, combining heat control and AirGlide comb to moisturize and prevent frizz. The body is as light as a cup of coffee, has an anti-twisting Rotating Plug, one-handed magnetic attachments, and a Luxury Combo Case.

LG SIGNATURE Downdraft Hood built-in range hood: Touchless gesture sensor

Overall, LG's new series of home appliances this year focuses on solving practical daily living needs quite well. Which of these 7 items are you most impressed with?
