As more time is spent frequenting public spaces and enjoying the outdoors, consumers are looking to invest in solutions which can keep them comfortable while maintaining peace-of-mind.
Whether shopping for the festive season, visiting a new site or taking the daily commute, mask wearing remains an essential aspect of our lives. Yet, common pain points range from finding that glasses fog up, to a feeling of claustrophobia from lack of air circulation.
While the importance of protecting oneself and those around must not be taken for granted, there is a solution which works to alleviate many of these concerns – the new, second generation LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier.
Building upon the earlier device’s success (which had been in R&D since 2017), the latest iteration of LG’s wearable purification technology adds boosted performance and new design smarts for added comfort and clarity. The LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier features two H13 HEPA filters to out up to 99% of micro particles such as dust, viruses, bacteria and allergens1, and deploys an automatic fan airflow control system to increase breathing comfort.2
Inside the LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is an ultra-small and lightweight motor, which works to power the DUAL fans inside – leveraging AI to evaluate user breathing pattern and control air intake. This feature also helps to reduce unwanted moisture and stuffiness experienced with regular mask usage.
In addition to air purification capabilities, the standout feature of the device is LG’s VoiceON technology – new for this model of the PuriCare Wearable. A microphone and speaker are built into the air purifier, working in harmony to automatically recognize when a user is talking and project their voice accordingly – providing added clarity.
To ensure comfort for long periods of time, the LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier sports a light profile at just 94 grams3. It has also been ergonomically designed to fit with various face types, while minimizing air leakage around the nose and chin.
Adding to the convenient nature of the device, LG’s PuriCare Wearable comes with a 1,000 mAh battery which can provide up to 8 hours of operation on a single charge.4 The air purifier also works alongside the LG PuriCare Wearable app, available for download via Google Play for Android devices and the App store for iOS models. Via the app and a simple Bluetooth connection, users can avail information regarding product usage history, filter management, battery information, breathing tracking and more.
Retailing for 799 AED, the new LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is now available in the UAE at Carrefour, Sharaf DG, Emax, ACE and Amazon.ae. The device comes in two color options, Creamy White and Ocean Black.
