The IFA tech commerce present in Berlin is thought for its wacky devices, and I may need discovered the weirdest product on the 2024 version.
Nestled inside LG’s expansive sales space documenting its imaginative and prescient of the way forward for the house, you’ll discover one thing often known as the PuriCare Air Air purifier. There are common variations of this that simply, you recognize, filter the air, however the mannequin I noticed combines it with a cat mattress.
Sure, you learn that proper. Within the 2-in-1 gadget no-one noticed coming, LG has mixed an air air purifier and cat mattress into one gadget. It’s actually LG’s common PuriCare air air purifier with a cat mattress perched on high.
Nonetheless, the gadget has a few further tips up its sleeve. The dome-shaped seat has a built-in heater, making it a comfy place on your cat all yr spherical. It additionally doubles as weighing scales, permitting you to simply maintain monitor of your furry good friend’s weight.
However air purifiers can get loud and probably disturb cats, so the LG PuriCare has a ‘pet relaxation mode’ which may decrease the noise to a extra acceptable stage.
As you may see from the photographs, the cat mattress sits immediately on high of the air air purifier. In case your cat is older or unable to leap freely, there’s an attachable stepper which can enable them to get there.

The air air purifier itself is what you’d count on from a pet-friendly air air purifier. It filters the air in all instructions round you and as much as 7.5m away, making it appropriate for even massive rooms. It’s additionally particularly designed to take away each pet hairs and smells from the air.
If I’d simply examine this on-line, I’d have in all probability written it off instantly. However after seeing it in individual and studying extra about it, I kinda adore it. Nonetheless, as somebody who has by no means owned a cat as a pet, I definitely received’t be shopping for one.
And even when you do wish to get your fingers on it, LG hasn’t revealed when or the place this model of the Puricare Air Air purifier shall be accessible. We additionally don’t know the way a lot it prices, which could possibly be an enormous sticking level.
However when you’re searching for one thing genuinely distinctive, there’s nothing fairly prefer it.
