Fits Even in Tight Kitchens... LG Electronics Launches Ultra-Slim 13.2-cm-Wide Water Purifier

Designed with kitchen sink dimensions in mind to make better use of kitchen space
Custom dispensing with two cold-water settings and hot water from 40 to 90 degrees
Removes nine types of heavy metals and filters out 99.99% of norovirus

LG Electronics will launch a new water purifier featuring an ultra-slim design just 13.2 cm wide and enhanced customizable temperature and dispensing functions.

LG Electronics said on the 11th that it had launched the new MX-F model of its PuriCare Slim Custom-fit Water Purifier.

The new model measures 13.2 cm wide, 36 cm high and 45.1 cm deep, including the water outlet, making it narrower than the width of a 1,000-won bill (13.6 cm). It achieved the narrowest width among cold-and-hot water purifiers made by domestic manufacturers as of September 2026. Designed with the average size of kitchen sinks in Korea in mind, it can be installed even in tight spaces. Its automatic up-and-down moving water outlet adjusts to the height of a cup, making it more convenient to fill with water.

LG Electronics also improved the customizable dispensing function based on customer usage data. An analysis of data from existing cold-and-hot water purifier users found that about 83.6% of customers mixed hot and cold water or purified water to get their preferred water temperature.

In response, the new model enhances the existing Custom Dispensing function, allowing users to choose between two cold-water temperatures: 6 and 13 degrees. Hot water can be set in 10-degree increments from 40 to 90 degrees, allowing users to dispense water at their preferred temperature depending on their intended use or personal taste.

Hygiene management features have also been enhanced. The All Puri Filter System removes nine types of heavy metals from water (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, iron, aluminum, copper, manganese and zinc) and filters out 99.99% of norovirus.

The direct water pipe and outlet can be maintained with high-temperature sterilization. The externally exposed outlet features UVnano sterilization, which removes 99.99% of three types of harmful bacteria, including E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It also has a slide-out outlet cover that makes it easy to clean the area around the outlet, where drinks such as coffee can easily splash.

The purifier also comes with additional features designed for ease of use. Its 2.4-inch LCD display shows water volume, temperature, dispensing settings and the current time, while Mood Lighting lets users create lighting effects to suit their kitchen. With the LG ThinQ app, users can set the light color, brightness and operating time. The light can also be used as a night light to improve visibility when dispensing water at night, or as an alarm light to remind users when to drink water after taking medication.

Customers using the subscription service can choose between a home visit for maintenance every six months and self-maintenance. They can also receive additional discounts when paying with an affiliated credit card or using an affiliated service.

“By reflecting customers’ needs, we have enhanced space efficiency and ease of use with a slim design and convenient features. We have also applied more rigorous hygiene systems and technologies that embody our brand philosophy of prioritizing hygiene,” said Baek Seungmin, who leads marketing for LG Electronics’ Korea Kitchen Solution business. “We will continue to explore our customers’ lifestyles more closely and consistently introduce products they can use with greater peace of mind and convenience.”
