A laundry treating appliance includes a treating chamber provided for receiving laundry for treatment, a controller having a memory in which is stored a set of executable instructions including a set of cycles of operations. The laundry treating appliance also includes a user interface operably coupled with the controller and having a touchscreen configured to provide an input and output function for the controller.

A household appliance having a treating chamber in which is received an article for treatment, a treating chemistry dispenser configured to receive a unit dose container for the treating chemistry, and a controller for executing at least one cycle of operation and a method of operating the household appliance to physically alter a unit dose container in conjunction with a cycle of operation and sensing same.

The present application relates to a steam generator (40) for a steaming device (10) comprising a chamber (42) having a base (46) and a liquid receiving space (47) above the base (46), a heater (50) for heating water in the liquid receiving space (47), a steam outlet (49), and a foaming restriction barrier (70) disposed between the steam outlet (49) and the base (46). The foaming restriction barrier (70) comprises a first barrier section (71) spaced from the liquid receiving space (47) between the steam outlet (49) and the liquid receiving space (47). The first barrier section (71) is configured to prevent foam from passing into the steam outlet (49). The foaming restriction barrier (70) also comprises a second barrier section (72) spaced from the first barrier section (71) between the first barrier section (71) and the liquid receiving space (47). The second barrier section (72) is configured to prevent foam from passing from the liquid receiving space (47) into an intermediate space (85) between the first and second barrier sections (71, 72). The second barrier section (72) is configured so that all the steam generated from heating water in the liquid receiving space (47) below the second barrier section (72) passes through the second barrier section (72) into the intermediate space (85) and, from the intermediate space (85) through the first barrier section (71), before passing through the steam outlet (49).

A laundry machine and an operation method for a laundry machine are disclosed. The laundry machine includes a tub configured to receive wash water; a drum that is configured to rotate in the tub and to receive clothes; a control panel configured to receive input from a user; a course selection part located on the control panel and configured to enable user selection of an operating course from a plurality of operating courses; and one or more option selection parts located on the control panel and configured to enable user selection of one or more options for the operating course selected by the user. The operating method includes selecting a specific course and controlling sequential performance of the following operations: cleaning the clothes by supplying wash water to the drum; drying the clothes by supplying hot air to the drum; and refreshing the clothes by supplying steam to the drum.

An atomizing generator, a clothing treatment device, and a control method therefor to solve the problems of the structural complexity and poor liquid level measurement accuracy of existing atomizing generators. The atomizing generator includes an outer shell and an atomizing module, an atomization cavity capable of accommodating liquid being disposed in the outer shell, and a liquid inlet, an air inlet, and a mist outlet in communication with the atomization cavity being arranged on the outer shell, the atomizing module including an ultrasonic atomizing sheet, and the atomizing module being arranged to be capable of atomizing the liquid in the atomization cavity by vibration of the ultrasonic atomizing sheet and detecting the height of the liquid level in the atomization cavity by the vibration, which simplifies the structure of the atomizing generator and increases the precision and accuracy of liquid level measurement.
