With LG ThinQ^® technology, users can control LG ACs from anywhere via the ThinQ app on their mobile device. Start and stop cooling so you never come home to an overheated room, or set the temperature while away to save energy costs. LG smart models are even compatible with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for easy voice control operation.

With nearly 10 new window and portable models, shoppers can choose from a total 17 LG smart air conditioners for room sizes big and small. Included are LG's new cooling and heating models and LG's revolutionary Dual Inverter Compressor^™ models that use the latest technology to deliver best-in-class cooling and energy efficiency.

Breathe Easy with LG PuriCare^™ Air Purifiers and Dehumidifiers
Designed to help users breathe easier at home and on the go, LG PuriCare air purifiers rid the air of irritants like smoke and pollen with true HEPA filtration. CERTIFIED asthma and allergy friendly^®, the LG PuriCare 360° Single (model AS330DWR0; $699) helps ensure indoor air quality is at its best with 360 degrees of clean air delivery, including areas low to the floor, for rooms up to 310 square feet. For larger spaces, LG PuriCare 360⁰(model AS560DWR0; $1,299) helps clear the air in rooms as large as 512 square feet.

LG PuriCare ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers (model UD501KOJ5 with Wi-Fi and drain pump, $329; model UD501KOG5, $299) eliminate moisture from the air, which can lead to conditions which could create serious health issues, such as the spread of mold and mildew.
