Lidl is launching a new smart air purifier that the supermarket claims can keep rooms free of "pollen, pet hair, dust and viruses" throughout the winter, with running costs of around 1p per hour.
The Tronic Premium Smart Air Purifier will be available in stores from Thursday, November 19, as part of the retailer's Black Friday offers on technology and household items. It will cost shoppers £59.99 while stocks last.
Claims and features
According to Lidl, the air purifier can "remove 99.9% of all contaminants" in the air, including "pollen, pet hair, dust and viruses". It uses a 3-in-1 filter system designed to keep rooms "up to 41m²" feeling "fresh and clean".
The device can be controlled via the Lidl Home app, by touch, or through voice control. Each unit features an LED ring light that indicates air quality after the replaceable filter system has cleansed the air.
Design and running costs
Lidl describes the purifier as "space-saving", with a height of just over 35cm. It includes a timer function that can be set from one to 12 hours of use.
Using 48W of power, the supermarket says the device has low running costs of around 1p per hour in electricity, meaning the longest programme would cost homeowners just 12p. Shoppers will need to check their nearest Lidl store from release day for stock, as the items cannot be bought online.
Other Black Friday deals
Lidl's Black Friday event on November 19 includes a range of tech discounts and homeware finds. Beauty deals include the Cien Premium Multi Air Styler (£44.99), a seven-piece set offering tools for "drying, brushing, straightening and curling" hair.
Shoppers can also pick up the FaceGLO LED Face Mask (£129), which offers "fast 10-minute treatments" at home using red light. The Tronic Bladeless Fan Heater (£39.99) features 10 speed settings and delivers "even air distribution for a pleasant, warm temperature".
Branded items are also discounted, including the Numatic Henry Xtra Vacuum Cleaner (£119, down from £139). Lidl will also have a limited number of Sharp 43" 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs (£199).
