LG Electronics announced on the 9th that sales of the LG Whisen stand air conditioner increased by about 40% in January and February compared to the same period last year. Air conditioners with artificial intelligence (AI) features accounted for over 70% of total stand air conditioner sales.

Recently unveiled models for 2025, the 'LG Whisen Objet Collection Tower I' and 'LG Whisen Objet Collection View I Pro,' feature the AI agent 'LG Puron.' According to the company, the new products are characterized by 'AI voice recognition' technology, which understands and responds to user intentions through empathic AI.

Additionally, various AI technologies have been incorporated, including ▲'AI Wind,' which uses radar sensors to detect the customer's location in real time and learns the preferred temperature to provide optimal cooling; ▲'AI Home Monitoring,' which detects movements within the space and sends notifications through the LG ThinQ app; and ▲'AI Heat Exchanger Cleaning,' which analyzes data measured by humidity and temperature sensors to assess the contamination level of the heat exchanger and automatically cleans it.
