1. A sensor-sational Washing Machine

From washing quilt covers and doonas to cleaning oven mitts and mop heads, your laundry is the spring-clean engine room. And, loaded with smart sensors, the latest washing machines make it easy. 

"Make life easier for yourself with an auto-dosing washing machine - they’ve got the smarts to automatically dispense the right amount of detergent for every load,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Laundry. “Meanwhile, an auto wash function takes things a step further, and uses sensors to weigh and assess each load before selecting the most suitable program.” 

For the perfect laundry pair, sync up an LG washer and dryer (or opt for their all-in-one model). These smart machines feature matching programs so your clothes can get consistent care throughout their laundry journey.
