A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes: a display; a communication interface; and a processor, wherein the processor controls the display to display a user interface (UI) for overall control of the washing machine and a dryer connected to the washing machine in communication based on a first user input selecting a washing course being received, identifies a drying course of the dryer based on the washing course selected by the first user input and a control option selected by a second user input based on the second user input selecting one of the plurality of control options included in the UI being received, and control the communication interface to transmit information corresponding to the identified drying course.

An apparatus and method for a low pressure laundry treating appliance having a cabinet defining an interior, and a drum provided within the interior, the drum including at least an inner wall and an outer wall. Pressure differentiations and flash evaporation can enable drying without excess use of conventional heating methods.

A portable blowing device includes at least one support rod and a plurality of blades. The support rod comprises an upper rod portion, a lower rod portion, and a rotating ring that is located between the upper rod portion and the lower rod portion. A hook is disposed on the top end of the upper rod portion, and pluralities of first fixed portions are disposed on the outer surface of the rotating ring. Each blade has a first connection portion for connecting to the corresponding first fixed portion of the rotating ring. When the blowing device is activated, the rotation of blades generates the airflow to blow user or the clothes hung on a support frame.
