What we need in our homes right now: The LG Styler

A home appliance that sanitizes clothes while making the look and smell brand new!

Now that we’re on the pandemic‘s second year, we’ve slowly eased into new routines. Routines that should be helping us avoid disease — hopefully. From more frequent handwashing, mask-wearing, and more, there are extra tasks throughout the day. But as long as it keeps us and our families safe, we’re all for it. Korean tech giant LG, which brought us appliances and wearables that help keep the air we breathe clean during this time, has come up with another home solution to minimize exposure to the virus. This, by keeping our clothes virus-free with the LG Styler.

It may seem like a chic closet from the outside but it’s actually so much more.

Clean, sanitized clothes without the damage

In the past two years, we’ve been changing clothes more often and doing more cycles of laundry. Every quick trip outside means a shower and a change of clothes the moment we get in. After all, we don’t want to bring in the nasties we picked up with our clothes to our families. This means our clothes are exposed to more damage. Each cycle of laundry and each run in the dryer both contribute to fabric losing some of its longevity

Our clothes are exposed to more wear and tear as we give them a full wash. It seems like such a waste when our clothes aren’t even stained or if you didn’t spend more than an hour wearing them. Good thing there’s a way to clean and refresh our clothes without having to subject them to a full-on laundry cycle. The LG Styler, using its patented LG TrueSteam technology, sanitizes our clothes without the use of detergent and chemicals. If you have kids at home, you can also use it on their toys which will come out sanitized and free of allergens.

Clothes look and smell brand new and you also get to save on dry cleaner bills as it can clean high-end clothes that can’t go into your regular washer and dryer. From silks, furs, and even filipiniana pieces.

Pressed clothing without the stress of ironing

Personally, ironing clothes is one of my most dreaded chores — especially if I have to iron chiffon! It’s a backbreaking nightmare. I recently got a steam iron that has helped immensely with such a task. I do love it but I’d love it even more if it just did the task for me. It will definitely save me a lot of time.

Well, the LG Styler seems to be presenting itself for the job. It can also press clothes using steam, taking away all the wrinkles your clothes acquired in your closet. For pants, you only need to place them in a special section of the styler to add those crisp crease lines.

Helping the community

Knowing the need to efficiently eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses in the community, LG also recently donated a Styler along with Wearable Air Purifiers and hygiene kits to the local government of Pasig City. The company’s local HQ is located in Pasig and since the pandemic began, they’ve been quite active in helping out in their community. They’ve donated washing machines, refrigerators and digital signage displays to help out city front liners and constituents. 

LG Philippines Managing Director Seungjae Kim shares that the LG Styler is yet another home appliance that can keep Filipino families and their communities safer during this time. “The LG Styler provides a fast and easy way of disinfecting your clothes, which is crucial in the time of COVID,” he said. “It is also a perfect addition to any household, whether you’re living alone or with a family.”

What about its energy consumption? LG Philippines says it will only cost Filipinos four pesos per cycle, making it a practical addition to any home. Here at GadgetMatch, we’re all for appliances that help make daily life easier and save us more time.

The LG Styler currently retails for PhP 139,000 (SRP). You can order yours via the LG Official Flagship Stores in Lazada and Shopee.

Dyson’s latest bundle is the power couple your floors have been waiting for

The answer to the wet-and-dry cleaning problem most of us have quietly accepted as just ‘life’

Published

on

There’s a particular kind of domestic frustration that doesn’t get talked about enough: the moment you finish vacuuming, look down at your gleaming hard floors, and realize they still need mopping. Two tools. Two routines. One slightly deflated sense of accomplishment. Dyson, apparently, has been paying attention.

For a limited time, the brand is bundling two of its machines into a single, rather attractive package — the Dyson WashG1™ wet floor cleaner and the Dyson V8™ Slim cordless vacuum — positioning them as the complete answer to the wet-and-dry cleaning problem most of us have quietly accepted as just life.

Meet the pair

The WashG1™ is Dyson’s take on the wet floor cleaner, designed to wash hard floors in one streamlined pass rather than the traditional drag-and-splash method that mostly moves grime from one end of the room to the other. No buckets, no wringing, no staring at a suspiciously grey mop head and wondering when exactly it stopped being useful. It’s the kind of appliance that quietly earns its counter space — and then some.

Compact, cordless, and deceptively powerful: the V8™ Slim for when the mess is small but your standards aren’t.

The V8™ Slim, meanwhile, is the lighter, nimbler sibling of Dyson’s cordless line. Useful for the crumbs under the dining chair, the dust gathering behind the shelves, and every other small, daily chaos that a full-sized vacuum feels excessive for. Cordless and compact, it’s the machine you’ll actually pick up instead of sighing and walking past the mess.

Together, they cover the full floor care spectrum: the V8™ Slim handles the dry sweep, the WashG1™ follows with the wash. It’s a logical pairing, honestly — the kind that makes you wonder why you’ve been doing it any other way.

Why this Dyson combination matters

Hard floors, for all their aesthetic appeal, are unforgiving surfaces. Dust settles visibly. Spills linger. And vacuuming alone, as satisfying as the process can be, doesn’t quite address the layer of grime that accumulates on high-traffic areas over time. A wet cleaner handles what a vacuum can’t, and vice versa — which is precisely why owning both, rather than cycling through them separately across different shopping occasions, makes a certain kind of sense.

There’s also something to be said for the ease of a dedicated routine. When both machines live in the same home, cleaning stops being a production and starts being a rhythm — a quick pass with the V8™ Slim in the morning, a proper wash with the WashG1™ when the floors need it. Less deliberation, more just getting it done.

The numbers

Originally priced at PhP 74,800 for both, the bundle is currently available at PhP 45,900 — a saving of PhP 28,900. The mechanic is straightforward: purchase the WashG1™ and the V8™ Slim comes with it.

The promo runs from April 16 to 30, 2026, available at Dyson Stores nationwide. For those who’ve been watching these two machines from a careful distance, the window is narrow — but the value proposition is hard to argue with.

BINI and KATSEYE topped recent Google Search trends ahead of their Coachella performances this month.

It’s clear that Coachella attendees are curious about the popular Philippine pop girl group, as well as the Los Angeles-based global girl group.

That’s aside from dedicated BLOOMs who are eager to see Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena take part in the legendary California music festival on Friday, April 10.

According to Google Trends data, global searches for the term “BINI Coachella” hit a perfect
score of 100 on April 8.

This indicates that the search term briefly became the highest-ranking search trend.

Meanwhile, “KATSEYE Coachella” scored 98 on April 7 on Google Trends, followed by a perfect 100 on April 8.

The timing of KATSEYE’s new single, “PINKY UP” couldn’t have been better as it dropped just a day before their Sahara stage set.

At the same time, the Filipino octet has also released “Blush” as their new comeback song — just hours ahead of KATSEYE.

As such, EYEKONS have also been scouring the interwebs for the global girl group.

And as these are worldwide search data, the recent Google Search trends somewhat prove these artists are effectively breaking through the global mainstream, and introducing their respective cultures to the global stage.

Infinix is entering a new era — and the brand is bringing one of K-Pop’s most sought-after stars along the ride.

A first for Infinix

In line with the launch of the latest NOTE 60 series, Infinix has also named YUNA of ITZY as its very first Global Brand Ambassador. The company calls this a bold step forward for both innovation and style.

For the record, this is the first time Infinix has tapped a global ambassador — and the choice makes sense. YUNA is known for her confidence, vibrant energy, and unapologetic self-expression. These qualities align closely with Infinix’s “Joy Tech, Beyond Limits” philosophy.

In a statement, YUNA shared her excitement about the partnership. She said she’s looking forward to connecting with fans in a new way and creating meaningful stories together with the brand.

For Infinix, this collaboration is more than just a celebrity endorsement. It signals a shift in how the company wants to position itself globally — not just as a smartphone maker, but as a lifestyle tech brand for expressive, tech-savvy youth.

The more, the merrier

The partnership goes along the debut of the NOTE 60 Series, further fueling Infinix’s move toward a more premium smartphone experience.

Like YUNA, the NOTE 60 line also brings notable names in the table:

  • Powered by Snapdragon from Qualcomm
  • Design collaboration with Pininfarina
  • Audio tuned with JBL

It’s a clear attempt that Infinix wanted to elevate both performance and design by blending in flagship-level specs, more refined aesthetics, and immersive sound altogether.

Infinix says this launch also marks its expansion into more premium international markets.

With YUNA as the face of the brand, the company hopes to strengthen its appeal among younger users who want both powerful hardware and a device that matches their personality.

Rather than focusing purely on specs, Infinix is leaning into storytelling — highlighting how technology can spark creativity, joy, and individuality.

With the NOTE 60 Series and YUNA front and center, Infinix appears ready to redefine its brand identity on a global scale.
