LG Electronics (LG) will unveil an expanded portfolio of its SKS products at the 2026 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), taking place February 17–19 in Orlando, Florida, USA. The SKS range features a curated collection of premium appliances that combine innovative technology with modern design, spanning cooking, refrigeration, laundry and dishwashing solutions. The lineup includes refrigerators, freezers, wine columns, ranges, microwaves, cooktops, ventilation hoods, as well as washers and dryers. Many of these appliances are smart-enabled, allowing seamless wireless control through connected devices.
A Comprehensive Laundry Solution for an Enhanced Experience
Showcased for the first time ever is a new total laundry solution that combines advanced fabric-care technologies with refined design and intuitive usability. The SKS WashCombo™ delivers powerful washing and drying performance in a large 5.8-cubic-foot capacity unit. It features AI Wash & Dry with AI DD™ technology for precise, gentle fabric care, while the Dual Inverter Heat Pump enables energy-efficient, low-temperature drying that helps preserve fabrics and reduce energy consumption.
Displayed alongside the WashCombo, the new SKS dryer offers a generous 9.0-cubic-foot capacity designed to handle larger loads with ease. Its AI Sensor Dry technology intelligently detects fabric texture and moisture levels, automatically adjusting drying time and temperature for optimal efficiency and performance. The SKS laundry lineup supports flexible configurations, including a 3-in-1 system (WashCombo paired with the 1.0-cubic-foot MiniWash™) or a streamlined two-unit setup (WashCombo and dryer), allowing customers to tailor solutions to different lifestyles and spaces.
Designed for seamless integration into luxury interiors, the new laundry solutions feature a minimalist Full-Flat aesthetic. Each model includes a 6.8-inch LCD touch display with customizable user-experience widgets for intuitive, personalized control and improved visibility. The Tilting Display Control automatically adjusts the screen angle when activated, enhancing ergonomic comfort and ease of use.
Seamless, High-Capacity 36-inch Column Freezer and Refrigerator
At KBIS 2026, SKS will introduce its first 36-inch Integrated Column Freezer and Column Refrigerator. Both products feature a panel‑ready design that gives customers the flexibility to integrate custom door panels or SKS’s stainless steel door panels. The products blend seamlessly into the kitchen space and built-in aesthetic while still maximizing storage capacity. Ideal for those who love entertaining at home, the new models come with differentiated Ice & Water solutions. The freezer’s dual ice maker offers both standard cubed ice and 2nd generation 60mm grand Craft Ice® – perfect for whiskey on the rocks – while the refrigerator offers a discreet internal water dispenser.
The seamless, panel-ready design of the new column freezer and fridge provides a sophisticated built-in aesthetic that exudes luxury and refinement. Ultra-premium SKS quality extends to the products’ interiors, which employ luxurious metal and glass door bins. Elegance and ease-of-use are further enhanced by the Wide-Top & Shelf-Emitting Lighting System. Customers can choose from two handle options – Professional (bold type) and Transitional (sleek type) – to complement their kitchen design.
Smart features further enhance convenience. The freezer’s AI Ice Pro automatically increases ice production ahead of expected high-demand periods based on usage patterns, while the refrigerator’s AI Fresh adjusts cooling performance prior to anticipated heavy usage to help maintain optimal food preservation. These functions can be managed via a full-touch, color wide 6.8-inch LCD display, introduced in SKS products for the first time.
36-inch Full-Flex Induction Cooktop for Versatile Cooking
The SKS 36-inch Full-Flex Induction Cooktop elevates everyday cooking with extended, flexible cooking zones that support simultaneous use of two large cookware items (up to 320 millimeters). Intelligent features include AI Water Boiling Alert, which sends real-time notifications via the cooktop display and LG ThinQ app when water reaches a boil and automatically adjusts heat output to help prevent over-boiling. Meanwhile, the innovative Power Shift PlusTM feature learns user cooking patterns to enable intuitive, hands-free control – increasing heat when a pan is moved forward and reducing it to a simmer when moved to the back.
“Consumers today expect premium appliances that seamlessly combine performance, design and intelligent technology,” said Donghun Lee, President, LG Electronics East Africa. “The expanded SKS lineup reflects LG’s continued commitment to delivering innovative solutions that enhance convenience, efficiency and the overall luxury living experience.”
