LG ThinQ and Download Cycles

I am shopping for a new dishwasher and I found that LG is also moving into cloud/app restricted features. They call them "download cycles".

According to the user guide, only one can be stored at a time. Absurd -- like memory storage was expensive.

The same issues apply:

Requirement to sign up to a cloud account; vulnerability to network attacks; reliance on LG infrastructure; no guarantees that the features will remain available for the lifetime of the appliance Etasse (talk) 15:11, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

You can probably make an article from that if you find people talking about it online. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:02, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
