LG’s new Styler takes the wrinkles out of your clothes without an iron

Add as a preferred source on Google

LG has made a name for itself in the household appliance market. The company’s washers and dryers are some of the most highly ranked appliances out there, with multiple offerings to fit every budget. Now LG has taken it one step further by offering the LG Styler, a closet-like appliance that does what its name implies: styles your clothes by keeping them odor and wrinkle-free.

If you’ve ever pulled clothing out of a tightly-packed closet, you know how easy it is for shirts to end up wrinkled, even if they were fresh and smooth when you put them away. With the LG Styler, all it takes is 20 minutes per cycle to completely refresh your clothing and knock away any dust that may have gathered from your closet.

The Styler doubles as a solution for those with allergies. It works to sanitize clothing and remove allergens, and has been certified as asthma and allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. According to statistics, one in five Americans suffers from allergy-related problems, but the LG Styler’s ability to remove small particles with a quick steam cycle can help combat that.

The LG Styler is more than just another appliance for your laundry room. It’s equipped with SmartThinQ and can connect to the SmartThinQ app on iPhone and Android devices. Users can also connect the Styler through Google Assistant to give voice commands. Through the SmartThinQ app, users can check the cycle of a status, monitor how much energy the Styler is using, and use Smart Diagnoses to troubleshoot any problems that arise.

The SmartThinQ app informs users when a cycle has finished through a push notification on their smartphone. The LG Styler comes in white and espresso to help create a uniform laundry room that blends well with other LG appliances like washers and dryers. It is also small enough that it can fit into narrow spaces, so even people in studio apartments could find a spot for the Styler.

The LG Styler is available at most major retailers from $1,999. While smart home technology is not yet capable of doing all of your chores for you, connecting smart washers and dryers with the LG Styler is a step in the right direction.

Haier is putting AI to work on the chores you barely think about

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Haier

Haier brought its “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” vision to IFA 2026, showcasing products across laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, televisions and floorcare. AI, sensors and connected technology featured across the range, but the more interesting question was what those systems actually did. In many cases, they were being used to help appliances recognise what was happening and make adjustments without requiring another instruction from the user.

SimpliSafe wants its new doorbell to stop porch pirates, not just record them
SimpliSafe’s new $200 doorbell can yell at package thieves and call the police
SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on what does around your house. But when a package is being stolen, all you get is the footage of someone walking away with our stuff. SimpliSafe is working on making things a little more secure.

The company’s new Video Doorbell Series 2 extends its Active Guard Outdoor Protection service directly to the front door. When the doorbell detects a potential threat, trained US-based monitoring agents can view the live feed, speak directly to the person outside, activate the doorbell’s siren, and, when necessary, request police dispatch while the camera records what is happening.

Apple’s new AI camera features come with a bizarre iCloud storage tax
HomeKit Secure Video footage doesn’t count against iCloud storage, yet adding Apple Intelligence to more cameras means buying increasingly massive storage plans
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple is making HomeKit Secure Video a lot smarter. Its new Apple Intelligence features can describe recorded activity and let you search camera footage using natural language instead of digging through clips yourself.

Getting those features across several cameras is where things get weird. The 2TB iCloud Plus plan supports Apple Intelligence on one camera. Two cameras require 6TB, while five require the 12TB tier. All that extra storage is required even though HomeKit Secure Video recordings don’t count against your iCloud allowance.
