This gas dryer contributes to reducing laundry room congestion and enhancing guest satisfaction through its high-volume airflow and efficient drying, which ensure quick results. It features an intuitive control panel and voice guidance for ease of use, even for first-time users. The design is highly durable to withstand heavy usage, aiming to minimize mechanical issues and downtime.
2. Coin-operated Fully Automatic Washer-Dryer MWD-600ECP
This unit completes the washing and drying process non-stop, eliminating the need to transfer clothes and allowing for efficient, space-saving installation. It includes a secure lock function where users can set a PIN, keeping the door locked safely even after operation. Automatic detergent dispensing ensures consistent results, enabling guests to use the laundry service hands-free and for a short duration.

AQ-Connect Laundry offers smooth and secure cashless payments through its multilingual smartphone application. The visualization of operational data allows for improved management, such as understanding congestion, early detection of issues, and managing cash collection. Guests can check machine availability via their smartphones, enabling stress-free laundry use without needing coins.
4. Furniture Refrigerator LOOC AQR-FD7P
This is a two-door refrigerator with a furniture-like design. It features a French door configuration with the refrigerator on the right and the freezer on the left. It is an energy-efficient and quiet model, employing a fan-based cooling system and an inverter compressor. With a depth of 45cm, it is designed to harmonize with room interiors.
5. Room Air Conditioners AX Series/E Series
These air conditioners feature “Double Freezing Clean” technology, which cleans both the internal components of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit.
(Note 1: This feature may not wash away all dirt, and its effectiveness may be reduced in low-temperature conditions during winter.)
The outdoor unit is designed for longevity with “Long-lasting Outdoor Unit” specifications, resistant to salt damage and corrosion.
