Global and regional digital leader LG Electronics introduced a range of air purifiers, combining effectiveness, convenience, portability and quiet operation. The sleek and compact appliance integrates easily into any décor.

Combining five different air cleaning technologies and a 16 stage multi-layer filtering system, the new air purifier concept helps eliminate animal hair, allergy causing germs, mold, dust, smoke, strong odors, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) which can cause or contribute to the development of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and other allergies.
“Our customers are becoming health conscious and we are developing products in line with their needs,” said C H Lee, President, LG Electronics Gulf FZE. “LG is focused on delivering innovations that are stylish and also good for health. We see air purifiers as another exciting addition to LG’s family of home appliances.”
Lee added: “Allergies are becoming an increasingly common health problem and the quality of indoor air can have a significant impact on conditions like asthma, and hay fever. After using an air purifier, many people report sleeping better, having more energy, being more alert and creative, breathing better, and just feeling better overall.”
LG air purifiers’ (models: PS-M550 and PS-H500) 5-stage filtration system includes a prescreening filter to capture the larger dust particles and preserve and extend the life of the other filters in the unit.
An allergy filter stops allergy-causing substances from circulating in the air and minimizes the chances of allergic reactions by changing the nature of allergen proteins. A HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter and an active carbon filter with platinum remove household odors and VOC’s. HEPA filters removes 99.97 per cent of air borne dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and air borne particles.
The air purifiers do not generate ozone, and are suitable to cover distances of up to 43 sq meters. A single unit eliminates up to 85% of airborne microorganisms in a typical room. The filters are washable and hence easy to maintain.

“As a home appliance maker, we focus on improving peoples’ lives with convenient products. We are dedicated to help making our customers’ lives easier, more convenient, and, ultimately, better. We believe this new offering will have a huge impact on consumers’ daily lives as well as on the environment,” added Lee.
