Save Space Without Compromise with LG's Newest Line of Window Type Air Conditioners

 

When it comes to home appliances, space is the name of the game. Space, or lack thereof, is one of the most important factors to consider when moving or fitting out a home, whether for form or function. It’s crucial that with whatever appliance you bring, it’s able to maximize every square inch it occupies.

Recognizing the premium for space, LG introduces a new line of window type air conditioners that’s more compact than ever but without sacrificing an ounce of cooling technology. The new line comes in three levels of cooling capacity - 0.8 HP, 1.0 HP, and 1.3 HP. All three versions share the same compact size with all of LG’s innovative technology.

The new line of air conditioners boast of LG’s storied inverter technology. With the LG DUAL Inverter Compressor, the air conditioners provide up to 70% more energy savings. Even with its small size, it still provides maximum cooling. These inverter window air conditioners provide exceptional cooling power that will keep you and your family cool, comfortable, and in control any day of the week.

With small spaces, noise is also magnified. This new line of air conditioners operate at sound levels as low as 44dB (when in low mode), eliminating unnecessary noise for smooth operation that you'll barely notice. It also offers Sleep Mode, which keeps operating noise to a minimum and turns the air conditioner off after a set time. The timer can be set from 1 to 12 hours. For the timer, you can set it up to 24 hours of operation, so that your air conditioner turns off when you plan it. Another game changing feature this line offers is the Clean Filter Indicator, which automatically notifies you whenever the filter needs cleaning. Say goodbye to guesswork!

The design and interface is intuitive and user-friendly. Operate it with the LED display and simple selection control panel, up/down temperature adjustments, and fan speed selection, using the full-featured remote without leaving your bed, workspace, or couch.

The air conditioners also offer versatile options and features for control. With the ThinQ™ app, you can start or stop your LG air conditioner, change the mode, or set the temperature, no matter where you are.

It also offers an Auto Clean Function. If the power cuts off, your unit resumes its previous operation shortly after the power is restored. It also has an Auto Evaporating System, where after turning off the air conditioner, the drying function automatically runs for 10 minutes. Say goodbye to smelly humidity.

Join the movement by sharing your personal ‘Unstoppable’ stories on TikTok, Facebook or Instagram for a chance to win the latest Galaxy devices

MANILA, Philippines – Creative, ambitious, and driven, today’s youth have shown time and again that they are indomitable in their pursuit of passion and purpose, forging new paths for themselves in fields of their choosing, while striving to make a difference with unwavering spirit and determination.

To celebrate this phenomenon, Samsung Electronics is launching its second edition of the #TeamUnstoppable regional brand campaign, daring Gen Zs and millennials of Southeast Asia to face challenges head-on and strive for greater heights. Based on the theme “Together, We are Unstoppable”, the campaign gathers a group of young changemakers who are passionate about gaming, food, sustainability, social good, education and fashion, and calls on youth from across the region to share their own inspiring stories and galvanize others into action.

This year, to better engage younger audiences, the #TeamUnstoppable movement will be centered on TikTok, where a brand-new generation of ‘unstoppable’ young individuals will share authentic stories in snackable, mobile-first episodic videos.

“Throughout the ups and downs of the past year, it has never been clearer that Gen Zs and millennials in Southeast Asia are unafraid to defy barriers and tap on technology to do good. Through #TeamUnstoppable 2022, we hope to build upon our successful run last year to inspire even more young digital natives in the region who are unafraid, undeterred and unwavering; to push their boundaries and creatively express how they will effect positive change in their communities on TikTok,” said Roy Lan, Regional Senior Brand Marketing Manager, Southeast Asia and Oceania at Samsung Electronics.

To kickstart the campaign this year, we spotlight #TeamUnstoppable 2022 in a regional film that premieres today. Here’s a quick introduction to these go-getters:

Karla Golosinda – The Gamer with a Cause
