House tinter shop for specific uses

Let's not fool ourselves.The LG Steam Cleaner Styler is not a device designed for all homes, or for a large number of them.It is very oriented to users looking for an alternative to the usual use of the dry cleaners.For example, if you usually use your office and between day and day you want to eliminate the bad odors that you may have acquired.This includes typical smells such as tobacco, which in the end is inevitable that you end up impregnating the shirt or jacket of your suit if you are smoker or spend a lot of time surrounded by smokers.Or the particular smell generated by sweat, something that will be a usual tonic now when it begins to hit the summer strong.And it is a solution if any of your garments have taken smell of moisture.In addition, this function of the steam Cleaner Styler of LG is also designed to clean your garments if you do not need deep cleaning.

Or to eliminate some wrinkle that has been formed.It is also very useful if you are very concerned about the coronavirus, since it has a hygienization mode capable of eliminating up to 99% of the human coronavirus, in addition to other bacteria.Thus, you can leave both your clothes and comforters and sheets or even stuffed animals and carry out this steam hygienization process that lasts 120 minutes.

Another of the points where this LG Steam Cleaner Styler is useful is when working on garments that cannot be put in the dryer and to which you want to dry in a delicate way.This delicate drying mode is more effective than outdoor drying and that does not endanger the integrity of clothing pieces.And how do you usually dry this team?You have to be honest.It is not comparable to a dryer in terms of work effectiveness.Even in intense mode (an hour in the soda mode that also includes drying), I have found that it does not finish leaving the garments dry.That is, do not buy this equipment as a substitute for the traditional dryer, but only in the event that you want a specific complement to some uses.

Various functions and modes of use

The LG Steam Cleaner Styler combines Truesteam steam technology with the movement of mobile hangers to refresh garments and eliminate odors.In fact, if you want your clothes to acquire the smell of a softener you can wear softener leaves in the equipment's aroma filter.When performing the tasks of this Cleaner Styler, you can choose between a total fourteen predefined modes.During the writing of this analysis there were no more available modes, but according to LG, new modes can be used through the LG Thinq application (downloading custom modes).

The modes are as follows:

The soda mode serves to reduce odors and clothing wrinkles.There are three levels of intensity: normal, light and intense.You should keep in mind that articles that are washable when using steam can be put in this mode.It is more clothing oriented that has a certain weight, for example costumes.And it is that in the manual itself you can find that it is not effective when removing wrinkles from cotton garments, such as t -shirts, sportswear or t -shirts.Nor is it to take out the flaw of linen (my joy in a well that had a linen shirt that I thought I could tame a little but will stay with its wild wrinkles).

Special care mode is designed for concrete material clothing.For example, we have an adjustment for suits and coats containing natural fibers.In this case, steam and low temperature vibration are used so as not to damage clothes.Then we have an adjustment for wool and point, another for sportswear, and a section for programs downloaded from the app Thinq.

In the hygienization section we can wear both habitual clothes and bedding, stuffed animals, mats or blankets.Of course, the maximum weight in this mode is 1.5 kilos objects.The program to eliminate germs and bacteria in depth takes two hours.With it you can eliminate 99% of the human coronavirus.By the way, it is recommended not to use this mode for wool or point garments since due to the use of high temperatures you can shrink.

Finally, we have a delicate drying mode.The adjustment that confused me is the one that has a rain/snow name, which actually serves to dry the clothes that are wet.The other way in which you have to stop is to dehumidify.It is a thought way so that you can remove the humidity of the environment in the room where the LG steam Cleaner Styler is.To do this, you have to keep the closet door open halfway and keep the mode along 2 and 4 hours.It is not a way that I could try because here in Madrid there is not enough humidity (usually), but for northern areas such as Cantabria or near the sea it can be a very interesting point.

And how is this steam Cleaner Styler in operation?First, it must be said that it is not an appliance that makes a lot of noise, but it shows.That is, you will be accompanied by a small buzz in the room while working.Because of its design, it seems very oriented to have it in the room with that mirror effect (I talk about design in the next section), but you have to have that constant noise.Of course, you will not notice that the room is hot, as can happen in the case of other appliances.As I commented before, it is not effective for cotton clothes, nor for linen and summer clothes or sportswear.Keep in mind if you are going to get this model.

What I have experienced is that it removes odors quite effectively and if you add a softener leaf you will notice when preparing your suit one day to another.

Attractive design with glass finish

The design of the Cleaner Styler steam is attractive.It shows that it is designed for users who are looking for a complement that is very well with the rest of the house and does not unleash if you have it in a room, in the kitchen or the living room.Of course, a warning.To use this equipment it is important that you have a wide stay, since it occupies a lot.Not so much wide but long.Specifically, almost sixty centimeters deep, so you will need a wide corner.

There are two shades in this closet, one in mirror finish and one blank.The truth is that if you are going to use it in kitchen with other devices, you can hit the white more, but I think that in rooms or the room is more worth this mirror finish.The hands are in the central part, and light up on the glass when you turn it on.Of course, it seems to me that where LG has not succeeded, it is not to illuminate the buttons to change between function.Yes, the chosen function is illuminated, but if you are in a dark room it will cost you to find a way to change.In the controls you will be able to see the time that each of the cleaning takes.Some softer modes only have twenty minutes, and others more intense arrive at the time.We have already seen that the hygienization process lasts two hours.

Inside the closet you must take into account that it is designed for few garments.Specifically, there is space to use five hangers (two hangers come by default with the closet).You can use house hangers, but they have to be with the metallic hook since the rails do not give for more fat hooks, such as plastic hangers).The interior of the closet lights up with a large circular LED when you open the door.Talking about the door, in it we find a plastic press to be able to put our pants in a suit while they take off the wrinkles.That is, usually the maximum space of this closet includes five shirts / coats / other garments plus pants.

CONTROL WITH THE LG THINQ APP

This LG closet can be controlled through the LG Thinq app that handles the smart devices of the firm.In fact, once you synchronize you can activate it from anywhere.The truth is that the connection process seemed more complex than I expected, I had to repeat it several times until I managed to link it.In addition, then the device's own menu seems less attractive and visual than I expected.It is so simple that it does not give that premium feeling that you expect to find after the disbursement in the closet.Much to improve at this point.

Price and opinions

The official price of LG steam Cleaner Styler is 1.800 euros, although I have already found several offers (included in the LG store itself) that bring it closer to 1.500 euros.In short, we are facing a very specific team, maybe too much.Out of costumes and coats, the functionality of removing wrinkles is lost, and it is true that it can be a fairly spectacular device and that requires a strong investment if you are going to use it usually for your suits.Yes, this hygienization function is very current, since if you want.It can also be very useful in coastal areas where there is a lot of moisture.In short, an attractive model but with a very specific utility that will limit its sales a lot.
