Doha: Following its unveiling at IFA 2020, LG Electronics (LG) has launched its personal air solution in Qatar, known as the LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier.
LG's lineup of PuriCare air purifiers includes single and double tower models for residential spaces, a commercial model for offices and a portable device for use on-the-go.
LG's PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier has been in development since 2017 undergoing three years of extensive R & D and product testing.
'Within its research, LG identified common challenges for mask-wearers, including regulating air flow without becoming too warm or claustrophobic and having glasses periodically fog up.
Additionally, as people become more conscious of the environment, the need for a more sustainable solution was clear, the company said in press release.
'The PuriCare Wearable has been ergonomically designed, based on extensive facial shape analysis. The device fits snugly around the user's face, minimizing air leakage around the nose and chin area. The face guard also features a silicone pad which seeks to promote comfortable fit for hours on end and reduce the fogging up of glasses, while the inner cover prevents internal contamination, it added.
'With the launch of the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, LG continues to demonstrate its commitment to positively impacting people's lives through the power of technology. We look forward to seeing how this innovative product reimagines the future of air purifica-tion for users across Qatar. We have full confidence that this technology will enhance quality of life and provide people with greater peace-of-mind, wherever they may be, said Sajed Jassim Mohammed Sulaiman, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Video Home & Electronic Centre.
The LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier comes with a built-in, rechargeable 820MaH battery which can deliver up to eight hours of operation at low speed and four hours on the highest setting. To recharge, users need to connect the device to a power source using the provided USB C cable. For added convenience, key components such as the filters, inner cover, face guard, ear straps and strap extenders are also easy to remove and replace extending usability.
Coming soon, LG will also release a unique case for the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, which deploys the company's UVnano sanitization technology to eliminate 99.99 percent of germs in just 30 minutes, using UV-C LED lights. The case can also remove moisture from internal components caused by the wearer's breath, charge the device from empty to full in just two hours and send notifications to the user's smartphone via the LG ThinQ app when filters need replacing.
'The introduction of the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier to the Qatar market represents our continued commitment to not only championing innovation, but also bringing advanced technology to market at rapid pace. While this device could not be any timelier demand for portable protection and access to clean air is not new. For years, we have seen growing interest and concern for maintaining good air quality which is why we have continued to expand our PuriCare lineup. We are seeing interest in sectors ranging from government and B2B organizations, right through to everyday consumers. We are proud to empower people across Qatar to breathe better air, while remaining comfortable, said Hongju Jeon, President, LG Electronics Gulf.
The LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is now available in Qatar at LG Brand shops, leading hypermarkets and electronics stores for the retail price of QR 699.
Two H13 HEPA Filters are provided in the box, with additional filters available for the retail price of QR79.
