At IFA 2026, LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing seven home appliances that reflect these evolving consumer needs. The company's booth highlights how advances in AI, energy efficiency and space-conscious design can support more convenient and efficient living across European homes.

Key models across the new lineup, spanning both premium and volume segments, achieve an A-grade energy rating.

The ergonomic, lightweight body is comparable in weight to a cup of coffee for everyday use, while a patented Rotating Plug™ offers easier power connection. Storage solutions include magnetic nozzles designed for one-handed attachment, a space-saving simple cradle and a Luxury Combo Case that serves as both a stand and storage case.
