HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

They say home is where the heart is, but for many busy Canadians, it’s also where most of their tasks are.

In fact, a recent study commissioned by LG Electronics Canada found that the average Canadian spends more than 300 hours a year on household tasks — the equivalent to flying to the moon and back four times. That’s quite the time commitment.

Considering that the same study found that most covet time with loved ones and self-care, it’s no wonder that the weight of household tasks seems to be impacting the overall mood and stress levels of Canadians. So how can the conflicting needs of busy individuals and families be supported?

“We believe that the best kinds of innovations are those that help fuel a better life,” says Don Pennell, Vice President, Home Appliance Sales, LG Electronics Canada. “LG’s ThinQ-enabled smart appliances are designed to make our dayto-day lives easier, so we can spend more time on what matters most and make home truly where the heart is.”

LG’s Connected Home technology allows the brand’s paired smart home appliances to be controlled via the ThinQ app, making life at home easier and more convenient.

Whether you need to pre-heat the oven while upstairs helping the kids with homework, or want to start laundry wash cycles remotely, the ThinQ app has you covered. It even helps you to stay organized by sending notifications when the laundry is done and offering helpful reminders about scheduled maintenance.

LG products are even able to talk to each other through the power of artificial intelligence. As an example, the LG WashTower has a feature called Smart Pairing, where the optimal drying cycle is automatically selected based on the wash cycle that was performed.

“When life gets busy, we all need a little assistance to stay on track of even the most minor household tasks. The LG ThinQ app will deliver a notification when someone has left the refrigerator door open and send reminders when the air and water filters need changing.” says Pennell. “It’s the helpful features like these that provide us with more time for the big and small joys in our lives, without having to worry about what’s needed around the home.”

With innovative products ranging from the WashTower, the Quadwash Dishwasher to the ProBake Convection Range with Air Sous Vide and Air Fry, LG’s smart home appliances make cooking, cleaning and even doing laundry simpler and more fun. Learn more at lg.ca.
