LG reveals Lineup of New Smart Air Conditioners

This week, LG Electronics revealed their new lineup of air conditioners, targeting an increase in sales of more than 10% this year.

LG revealed about 40 air con models that feature a technology named the “Real 4-D” cooling system that according to LG officials, sends cool air out in four different directions.

LG spokesperson said that the new air conditioners have also amplified the number of turbo fans located within the air conditioner for enhanced performance and slimmed down the width of the product by up to 30%.

The installation of a power-saving super inverter decreases electricity prices by up to one third of what was paid with other models. The air conditioner can also be controlled by smart phone app, Whisen app 2.0.

President of the air conditioning and energy solution unit at LG Electronics, Nho Hwan-yong, said “We’ve grown more than 10 percent in global terms and we tend to reach a growth rate of over 10 percent in total sales in 2012 even though we know some advanced nations are expected to see a sluggish economy this year.”

LG officials also emphasised the air conditioners with their liquid-crystal display screen that shows management features as well as user selected photos.

LG officials added that it is also equipped with a lighting function which could add to the interior design for some customers. The prices will range for around £500 up to around £1,500 but are not yet available in the UK.

Nho said, “We plan to continue increasing our market share (in global markets) by developing models that are a match to that particular market,

“I can’t talk about the specific differences compared to our rival’s models but we expect to grow together by continuously competing with each other.”
