LG Electronics just unveiled a commercial version of its 'LG Styler' at CES 2016. The newly upgraded model is largely intended to give hotels and resorts a simple way of refreshing clothes without using water or detergent.
Similar to the original LG Styler, the new commercial model functions as a clothing management system that refreshes garments without actually washing them. The wardrobe uses LG's TrueSteam technology to sanitize and refresh clothes without the use of detergent or other harsh chemicals. The commercial version of the wardrobe also comes with additional features such as a larger storage capacity, WiFi-connectivity for remote operation and a Pants Crease Care application that steams and presses trousers.
The commercial-grade LG Styler is ideal for the hospitality industry because it gives hotel and resort staff a convenient way to freshen a guest's clothing on-demand.
