LG has launched the Universal UP Kit, a collection of innovative accessories and add-on's to make their range of products more accessible. While I would like to see appliances designed for all out of the box, this is still a crucial step forward. It is great to see that the kit is designed to work with existing products, especially when many of us keep our appliances for years.

Universal UP Kit comprises a wide spectrum of LG home appliances, including refrigerator, CordZero stick vacuum, Styler, dishwasher, water purifier, washing machine and dryer. Read more in the article IFA 2023: “Design for All” in the LG’s Universal UP Kit - HA Factory

“To aid in developing the Universal UP Kit – the company explains – LG enlisted the help of its Accessibility Advisory Council, an independent board, an assembly of individuals with health conditions such as hearing or vision impairments and cerebral palsy. The council’s members shared their insights, experiences and the challenges they had experienced while using various home appliances. LG compiled, categorized and analyzed the individual feedback, shaping the foundation of the Universal UP Kit design and steering the course for future accessibility-led projects”.
