There is disclosed an outdoor unit an outdoor unit that may attach a cover to a case by using a magnetic member and have an empty space formed between the case and the cover as large as the thickness of the magnetic member, wherein air or a sound-proof or meta material may be filled in the empty space and a cover for covering the case of the outdoor unit may include several pieces that are detachably connected with each other like Lego pieces, and the cover may be attached to the other area of an outer surface of the outdoor unit except the area having an inlet for sucking external air and an outlet hole for discharging the external air drawn into the outdoor unit via the inlet outside again.

Outdoor unit and air conditioner including the same

A laundry treating apparatus may include a main drum and an auxiliary drum selectively mounted on or separated from the main drum. A method for controlling the laundry apparatus may include rotating the main drum to cause a centrifugal force for discharging water from the auxiliary drum before supplying washing water into the auxiliary drum. The method may include one of washing laundry in the main drum while the auxiliary drum is separated from the main drum, washing laundry in only the auxiliary drum while the auxiliary drum is mounted on the main drum, or washing laundry simultaneously in the auxiliary drum and the main drum while the auxiliary drum is mounted on the main drum.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet with first and second cabinet doors. A first washing apparatus processes laundry that is placed through the first cabinet door at the front. A second washing apparatus processes laundry that is placed through the second cabinet door at the top. The second washing apparatus includes: a tub that holds water and has an opening at a top that is accessible through the second opening of the cabinet; a tub cover that covers the top of the tub and defines an inlet through which the tub is accessible; a tub door on the tub cover that opens or closes the inlet of the tub cover separately from the second cabinet door opening or closing the second opening; a drum inside the tub configured to rotate about a vertical shaft; and a first sensor that generates a signal based on the tub door being open.
