SEOUL, July 16 (AJP) - LG Electronics on Thursday launched a new AI-powered water purifier featuring voice controls and personalized dispensing functions, expanding its lineup of connected home appliances as the company integrates artificial intelligence into everyday household products.
The LG PuriCare AI Ice Water Purifier allows users to dispense purified water, cold water and ice using natural voice commands, while also serving as a smart home hub capable of controlling compatible LG appliances through the company's ThinQ platform. The product can also provide information such as weather updates, news and household appliance status.
The purifier analyzes a user's water consumption over time to recommend frequently used temperature and volume settings through an AI-based personalized dispensing feature. It also includes preset modes for beverages and cooking tasks, automatically dispensing the appropriate amount and temperature of water for items such as coffee, tea, instant noodles and baby formula.
LG said the product retains its existing hygiene features, including automatic sterilization of internal water lines and UV sterilization for the water and ice outlets. It also incorporates a cup-detection sensor to prevent accidental dispensing when no container is placed beneath the outlet and features a larger 6.8-inch display for appliance information and home monitoring.
The launch comes as major home appliance makers increasingly embed generative AI and voice-based interfaces into connected devices, seeking to expand the role of household appliances beyond their core functions into broader smart home ecosystems.
