You know how we tend to plan to change our home appliances and tech to better suit our needs and changing style? …and you know how we always say we can do that later when we see the price tags? Well, LG is looking to change that by making home tech and appliances less of a hassle and less of a strain on the bank account.
The company is introducing a first-of-its-kind home tech and appliance rental service. Of course, the way things are structured may seem very familiar, but the new Rent-Up program is catered to some of LG’s cutting-edge appliances like the LG Styler, the PuriCare Objet Water Purifier, the LG PuriCare Air Purifier and even the LG Cord Zero handheld vacuum. These items can be leased from as low as RM40 a month. The leasing period goes up to 7 years after which the appliance belongs to you.
The new Rent-Up program covers nearly all of LG’s product lines from its webOS-based smart TVs to its refrigerators and vacuums. What’s more the products being offered through the program are all compatible with LG’s ThinQ app. This means that you’ll be able to set that load of wash to complete as you leave the office or even find out what groceries are needed from your smartphone. The best part may be the fact that you can set the Styler to prepare your outfit while you take a shower so your outfit will be crisp when you put it on.
The new Rent-Up program allows you to live a connected life with LG’s lineup of AIoT-enabled appliances. The program is already available in Malaysia through LG Malaysia’s Rent-Up webpage. There is a limited selection of appliances and tech on the webpage now but it looks like LG will be updating its offerings soon.
There are a few ways to live healthy. You can exercise and control your diet. To ensure your home is well protected and the air you breathe at home is clean and pure, you can buy air purifiers, or air-conditioning units that comes with air cleaning functions. But there is one thing that you always forget, a rather basic thing that we all need to survive; our water.
Water is a pretty basic consumable that we take for granted sometimes. With the constant water supply cuts in Selangor, Malaysia, you might grow to appreciate the constant flow of water you might find in your home. That said, access to clean water in Malaysia is rather abundant. Still, clean water is not drinking water. For that you want a water purifier, or some sort of filter to ensure that the water that flows out of your tap is safe to consume.
The problem with most water purifiers though is the constant servicing that is required. You cannot do it yourself too in most cases. You need to get someone to come in and replace all the filters, clean out the tank, and then bill you for it, on top of however much you are already paying for the water purifier itself. Not LG’s latest PuriCare Tankless water purifier.
There is nothing wrong with having someone to come and change your filters or clean out your tank. It costs some of your time though. You need to wait at home for someone to come, wait for them to leave before you can be out and about again. Modern water purifiers are also rather complex machines that requires some know how to service, which also means you have no choice but to engage the service providers to change and clean water purifier.
LG’s latest PuriCare water purifier eliminates the need for a service person. The new rig is designed to ensure that even you can change the filters in just a few minutes. It is completely toolless too, to make it even simpler to maintain on your own.
LG’s Tankless technology is nothing new. They launched the technology a couple of years ago to eliminate the need for tank maintenance whenever the rig needs servicing. The benefit of a tankless system is also to ensure that there is no microorganism build up in the tank that will affect the quality of the dispensed water. What is clever is that the machine can dispense hot and cold water all the same.
Water from the LG PuriCare purifier goes through a 4-stage All Puri Filter System that eliminates microorganisms, 99.99% norovirus, and heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, iron, copper, aluminium, manganese, and zinc that are all quite hazardous if consumed in excess amounts. The clever technology inside the compact machine also allows you to have hot water and cold water instantly without needing a tank to store both cold and hot water at the same time.
The new LG PuriCare self-service tankless water purifier system will set you back MYR 3,200 and comes with 2 years’ worth of filter subscriptions sent every six months to your doorstep. If you still want someone to come by and help you change the filters, it will set you back MYR 4,000. You can get the water purifier in your house for just MYR 60 a month though for a 7-year subscription self-service plan. You can choose between Navy Blue, Silver, and White colour options.
