simple voice commands. In fact, some of your appliances might already be able to help you cook, clean and entertain in ways never thought
possible.

extra helper sure could make the food prep a lot easier. Consider
the SmartThinQ app for LG appliances your sous chef and use it
to tackle all those extra jobs that come with meal preparation.

cycle remotely when you're out of the house.
Cleaning the oven may be one of the most mundane and dreaded tasks. Now with your smartphone you can easily start your oven's

adventures.
