5 June 2023 update: LG PuriCare AeroFurniture is now available in Singapore. Pricing and availability details are below.
LG Electronics announced its new air purifier, which looks nothing like the ones it typically launches. The PuriCare Objet Collection Aero Furniture (a.k.a LG PuriCare AeroFurniture) is one of the many new LG releases at IFA 2022, and it combines style, functionality, and practicality into one appliance.
The Aero Furniture is both an air purifier and a table. LG said it has a “relatively small size” that is “perfect for smaller spaces” like single bedroom and studio rooms in small apartments, but did not give us the appliance’s dimensions or relative size. We’d imagine it to be similar to bedside or coffee tables in stature, since it has another core functionality: Wi-Fi-enabled air purification.
It offers 360° air coverage, integrated tactile controls on the underside, mood lighting, and various airflow modes. On the ‘table top’ sits the Wi-Fi signal strength indicator, among other metrics like airflow strength and air quality. There’s also a wireless charging pad for smartphones, and five steps to its airflow speed (Auto, Low, Mid, High, and Sleep).
As an air purifier, it uses LG’s proprietary multi-stage filtration system, which includes an ultra-fine filter, dust collector filter, and deodorisation filter. The filtration is further supported by LG’s UVnano technology that keeps the purification air blades nearly free (99.9%) of bacteria and viruses. It’s unclear whether the purifier is HEPA-certified based on its text-only announcement.
The PuriCare Objet Collection Aero Furniture was on display at LG’s booth at IFA 2022 in Berlin, Germany, from 2 to 6 September 2022. Pricing and availability to be updated when it’s announced.
5 June 2023 update: More information about the LG PuriCare AeroFurniture was announced with its arrival in Singapore 10 months after its launch. The table-type air purifier is HEPA-certified with a CADR rated at 2.57m3/minute (154.2m3/hour).
All three colour variants (Cream, Lemon, and Rose) are available at S$499 on LG official online platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and KrisShop, along with other retailers: Audio House, Best Denki, Courts, Gain City, Harvey Norman, Mega Discount Store and Parisilk.
