A washing apparatus and a control method thereof using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or a machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for Internet of things (IoT) is provided. The washing apparatus including a container in which laundry is accommodated includes a controller, a motor electrically connected to the controller and configured to rotate the container, a weight sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to measure a weight of the laundry accommodated in the container, and a vision sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to photograph the laundry accommodated in the container.

A clothes treatment apparatus and a method for controlling a clothes treatment apparatus are provided. The method may include feeding heated hot air to clothes or other items received in a drum, and dehydrating the clothes or other items by performing a first rotation cycle for rotating the drum at a first RPM for a predetermined period of time. The first RPM may be a RPM that allows a centrifugal force applied to the clothes or other items during rotation of the drum to exceed gravity.
