LG Showcases Accessible Tech at CES 2026
LG Electronics USA has expanded the LG Comfort Kit family of accessories developed to deliver a better, more intuitive appliance experience for everyone. The accessible technologies are featured in LG’s “Design for All” exhibition at CES 2026 where the company is demonstrating how thoughtful, human-centered design can help overcome everyday barriers.
At CES, LG unveiled eight new LG Comfort Kit items, further expanding its inclusive design ecosystem across home appliances. Newly introduced solutions include the LG Washer Easy Detergent Cup, LG Dishwasher Door Easy Handle, LG Water Purifier Easy Tray, and LG Microwave Touch Guide, all designed to reduce effort at key moments of appliance use.
Additional Comfort Kit items on display at CES include the LG Vacuum Cleaner Easy Handle, LG Refrigerator Container Easy Lid, LG Air Purifier Easy Guide and LG Dehumidifier Easy Handle, with several scheduled to launch in the first quarter of this year.
Inclusive design in action at CES
The Design for All zone in LG’s CES booth features core dimensions of accessibility, inspired by real consumer needs and real-world use cases. For consumers who are blind or have low vision, LG offers Comfort Kit items designed to improve visibility, recognition and safe use of home appliances.
One example includes a color sticker for LG’s robot vacuum, helping low-vision customers more easily recognize the device and reducing the risk of tripping at home. Other solutions incorporate tactile indicators, high-contrast elements and Braille-supported touch guides that promote confident and independent use.
For consumers who experience mobility challenges, Comfort Kit items reduce the physical effort required to grip, open, close or move appliances. For instance, Easy Handles for LG washers and dryers allow users to open doors using their arm instead of their hand, supporting greater independence and comfort for customers with limited hand mobility or reach.
