From small products of 10 pyeong to large products of 40 pyeong

LG Electronics is aggressively targeting the domestic large air purifier market by increasing the cleaning area of its 'PuriCare' air purifier.

LG Electronics is launching a large-capacity 'PuriCare' air purifier (model name: AS488BWA) with the largest cleaning area among products that have received the 'CA (Clean Air) certification' from the Korea Air Cleaning Association. With this, LG PuriCare air purifiers now have a full lineup, from small products for spaces of 10 pyeong to large products for spaces of 40 pyeong.

The new LG PuriCare air purifier can purify indoor air in a space of 158 square meters (m2), making it ideal for use in public and commercial facilities such as schools, offices, hospitals, restaurants, and cafes. When operating in ‘quick cleaning’ mode, the powerful airflow delivers purified air to distant locations, purifying air in areas up to 175 square meters.

This product has an inlet, outlet, and filter replacement section all located on the front of the product, so it can be installed flush against a wall or built into a wall like a built-in appliance. There is no need to secure separate space on the back or sides of the product, so it is highly space-efficient.

The '6-step Total Care Plus' system removes not only large dust particles, but also ▲fine dust, ultrafine dust, and ultrafine dust ▲smog-causing substances such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide ▲new house syndrome substances such as toluene and formaldehyde ▲allergens and household odors. This product has also received certification from the Korean Asthma and Allergy Foundation (KAF) and the British Allergy Foundation (BAF).

Also, the PM1.0 sensor detects dust particles as small as 1 micrometer (㎛) and shows the indoor fine dust concentration as a number on the front display of the product. The 'cleanliness indicator light' displays the indoor air quality in four stages: red (very bad) - orange (bad) - green (normal) - blue (good) so that users can intuitively know the indoor air quality.

The new product is a large, high-performance product that is also quiet, so it is suitable for use in quiet classrooms, libraries, etc. The 'Quiet Clean' mode is 27dB (decibels), which is quieter than when whispering in your ear (30dB). The average noise level is 47dB, which is just like a quiet office.

In addition, the new product is Wi-Fi enabled, so users can easily monitor the product status or control its operation with their smartphones. When it is time to replace the filter, a notification is sent to the user's smartphone.

LG Electronics allows customers to choose between lump-sum payment and rental. For rental customers, a healthcare manager will visit periodically to provide maintenance services such as free filter replacement, dust sensor inspection, and cleaning service.

LG Electronics H&A Business Division Air Solution Business Unit Vice President Lee Kam-gyu emphasized, “We will continue to expand our air purifier product lineup and provide customized solutions suitable for various spaces from 10 to 40 pyeong.”
