- [Man] The most Up to date smart machines
that you're going to find.
Do you guys miss the house videos?
Like we did a ton of house videos.
When we built this entire house.
When we were building the house, we have drone shots of it.
We were the only house.
We were the first house on this entire street.
Now check it out. We have neighbors.
These guys are framing right now.
This house looks like it's a few months out from being done.
And then we've got another one behind us that is framing
right now and should be done in like six months or so.
We're going to have a real neighborhood.
This is kind of exciting.
We've been living inside of our dream home for six months
now and we absolutely love it. It's been fantastic.
It has every feature that we could ever want.
Not everybody's going to be building their own home and have
the opportunity to wire their house and do everything they
can from the smart home perspective.
There is a conference in Germany called IFA, typically LG
is there with a giant booth,
like the one that we saw at CES this last year,
obviously it's difficult to travel from country to country
this year. So LG did something really interesting.
They took an entire house in a really cool neighborhood in
South Korea,
and they took the house and put in almost every single LG,
ThinQ connected product in the house. It's amazing.
It highlights everything you can do. I mean,
this is pretty cool.
I'm kind of blown away with the connectivity of just these
devices.
And I thought I would like to see what they can do in
the real world. So I asked LG,
they sponsored this video and send us some
of their ThinQ appliances so that we can demo it,
check it out and retrofit a house to make it smarter.
My sister, who is at home a lot,
she has a daughter with a disability.
What if we take the LG ThinQ appliances,
install them into her house and make
her existing home smarter.
We're going to show you how the LG ThinQ ecosystem could
benefit you in your house.
You can systematically make your house smarter and easier
to control with your phone
to make your life just run easier.
We are about to upgrade her house in a big way.
A lot of you are gonna recognize this house at my sister's
because we've done a lot of videos here with them before.
This is the story of bill laundry machines that they have.
These have been here for 19 years.
And the great thing about it is that she got this on a TV
show called the prices is right.
She went to the showcase showdown.
She lost the showcase showdown,
but she did walk away with a beautiful set of laundry
machines. LG electronics sent us brand new washer and dryer,
the most up to date smart laundry machines that you're going
to find.
And I thought this would be a nice gift for my sister
to replace her Bob Barker, washing machines.
Whoa, pinched my finger.
Okay. This is my sister, Stephanie,
these are the new lot washer and dryers.
Are you a little sad to lose the ones that you got for free?
And that kind of means something from a fun experience or
are you just like, get those outta here?
- I'm not really sad cause I have memories,
but these are so awesome that they've released, I'm excited.
- I wanted to show you proof that she actually was on
the price is right?
This is her scrapbook that she still has from how many years
ago?
- 18.
- [Man] 18 years ago.
And check it out, Stephanie, right there.
That's the prices, right thing.
There's the CVS logo in the background.
Who are you with that day?
- [Sister] Sister-in-law my cousin and my friend.
- Cool. And then your shirt Barker's saw beauties.
Do you think that's why they chose you to be on there?
- I actually think they chose me because
I had a pitch prepared.
I brought a tee shirt for Bob and I told him that
I had to watch the show every morning with
my 18 month old son.
And my neighbors all knew not to bother me during
the prices. Right?
- Yeah.
This is the spot where the old TV was inside of my sister's
house. And we were going to replace it with the LG OLED TV.
That's 77 inches. Let's get put up on the walls.
(upbeat music)
Some people like that.
And that's how you hang the TV on the wall.
Now the home of the future is actually a home of right now.
Like most of these products are a reality things
that you can buy.
This is a styler. I have never used a styler before.
I know Leslie wanted one in the house and then we didn't end
up doing it. Well,
LG sent us the ThinQ styler and this is the third
appliance that we are putting in at my sister's house today.
But actually wait,
does a washer and dryer count as one a plane. It's like,
I kind of count that as one.
That smells good.
Wow.
Wow. Wow.
It's like a perfectly clear reflection. It's like a mirror.
Yeah. Hi.
That's totally a mirror. Look at this.
Can you see me? Let's see if we can turn it on it.
Wasn't there before I promise, watch,
come over and see this thing. First of all,
it's like a selfie mirror. Hold it, hold it down.
Look at all that stuff that popped up. It's like a magic.
It's like a screen. You had glass and metal.
And now the dream home of the future is right here.
And it's a reality.
How about a smart refrigerator? That's what this is.
I mean,
I just tap it and it turns on and you can see what's inside
of it, which I love.
Cause obviously we are the what's inside family.
And then also in the bottom drawer and this one makes ice
balls, fancy round ice balls.
And these are the kinds of things that you can put inside of
a drink. And it stays in there for so long.
It doesn't melt as quickly as a lot of the other ice things.
I mean, this thing is beautiful.
We downloaded the LG ThinQ app.
And now every single one of the devices is now connected
inside of my sister's entire house. You can start them,
stop them, see the status of them, on the TV.
It shows all of your devices.
So as soon as the dryer is done,
then you see a popup that says the dryer has finished.
How many times do you forget to get the laundry when it's
done in there? And you let it sit for hours and hours?
Well, if you're watching TV and it pops up,
or if it pops up on your app,
you can instantly know you can control your TV just by using
your voice by pushing this voice button on here.
And it activates ThinQ technology so that your TV
is smarter play what's inside CES 2020.
The TV pulls up a bunch of tech videos,
which is cool because three of them are mine.
There's the home of the future. CES 2020.
Just tell it to play the video. And there it goes.
It just starts playing my YouTube video from CES 2020 when
I toured the LG booth.
And it's not limited to just LG appliances.
This is a hall lamp. My sister has a little box.
It's connected to the power outlet that runs up
to the lamps.
And so it's this smart lamp in when LG laundry machines have
ThinQ built into it,
you can do some pretty cool things and
it will send you notifications on your phone.
But also there is a remote start function that you can use
remote, start on, push start dry.
And it turns on the dryer and I can do the same thing for
the washer. When it comes to doing the laundry,
I'm super not good at doing it.
And I get a bit overwhelmed with like all
the different options up here.
So these LG appliances with ThinQ have AI direct drive.
And what that means is you can put whatever clothes you want
to put in there.
It notices what type of materials that you put in,
and then it recommends what type of wash do you use for it.
And then when it's actually spinning it at the end,
it minimizes the spin levels based off of the materials that
are in there.
So it reduces noise and vibration throughout the house.
Just another setting that the ThinQ app allows you to do
that just makes your life a little bit easier.
This is really interesting.
So I've been doing more research about this and playing with
this for a little bit. These painters right here,
this is where you can hang your clothes
on these LG styler hangers. It's all wet.
Cause it was in the middle of a sanitizing mode. When I,
when I paused it, the hanger is shaking 200 times a minute,
along with the sanitizer.
So the dust and the odors and things kind of fall off and
it's very similar to getting your clothes dry, clean.
So your clothes are fresh when you take them out.
You just want to get it nice and sanitized and clean.
You stick it in there.
And one cool thing is you can take the app on your phone,
and you can actually start the styler.
If I would have known that this existed before
we built our house,
I probably would have worked with the cabinet guys and taken
this and built it into our closet with a door on it,
opportunity missed.
This does have ThinQ technology built into it.
The smart, fresh air automatically analyzes every day,
your usage patterns,
and it cools a refrigerator in a smart way so that
it can keep your food fresh for longer.
Interesting. Your fridge can do that.
That's smart, economic care.
Plus this one's kind of interesting too.
It watches the way that you used your refrigerator and then
it lowers its usage during like low usage times so that you
don't have to spend as much money on the power for your
refrigerator, but it also has a mode called ice plus.
And when you turn on ice plus mode,
what it does is it automatically freezes the ice extra cold
two hours before the time that you most use the ice maker,
ice balls.
Building a smart home by not having to go and rewire
everything in your house is a pretty nice thing.
And LG ThinQ products allow you to do that.
We're able to take this home that is almost 10 years old
without doing any wiring.
We were able to take it and make it smarter just by using LG
ThinQ appliances. This washer is so quiet.
Their last one that they had,
it literally sounded like a freight train was driving
through their house and it was running.
Her son's room was on the other side and he couldn't even
have the laundry running while he slept,
because it would wake him up because it sounds like
it's banging against the wall.
These are just a few of the ThinQ products that LG has.
So thank you,
LG for sponsoring this video and letting me put
a very special treat in my sister's home.
They do have a daughter that has a disability and
so anything that can make their life
a little easier is a huge
bonus and a huge plus in my mind now,
instead of having to get in the van and roll the wheelchair
up and bolt it all in and drive to the dry cleaners to drop
off three shirts and two slacks,
she can put it in the styler inside of her house,
little things, but it goes a long way.
So LG,
thank you for sponsoring this video and hooking us up with
some awesome products for my sister's house.
I just want to see a sign of it before we even get into all.
Here we go. Tape on the bottom.
Okay.
I'm opening on the wrong side. Can you see me?
Your Bruno's at CES 2020? Oh my gosh.
I can't believe that was 2020.
The world has changed so much.
There were like hundreds of thousands of people there with..
Its the song.
The dryer plays a song when it's done.
It gets really excited. It's like your clothes are done.
You should be happy.
