What's the power cable length for the LG water purifier?
Interested to get one but power socket to the nearest sink is like 5ft plus lol

How much was it at the fair?

Hi guys, need advice which is better

SK magic HYPER

or

LG Puricare WD516AN

What water purifier is good and worth to change to now? My Coway service contract about to finish been using same water filter for close to 10 years already.

How about their after sales service? Service the water filter ownself or got agent help? Hope it is easy if self service.

What is different between indoor drinking water filter  vs water dispenser? Which one more economical and low maintenance cost?

Heard that water dispenser run on electricity, so there's additional cost. Any ideas how to have safe drinking water at economical way?

I'm looking to install a water purifier at my new home.  Cabinet and sinks are not done yet.  I'm wondering what I should prepare if I would like to install a water purifier/dispenser.  It seems that LG is frequently mentioned in this thread and it seems that LG Puricare Hot/Cold is suitable for me.
- I'm a little confused about the rental vs purchasing.  I've read that LG Puricare does not require servicing.  What are the advantages of renting vs purchasing?
- What do I need to keep in mind to install LG Puricare - do I need to drill a hole in the counter top?  I'm aware a powerpoint is required for this.  Is it possible to not connect the water purifier to the water faucet?
- Do you know when the current promotion ends?

Thank you in advance, for those who are helping to share their experience or thoughts!

Actually if u want power socket hide under the countertop and the hole only 20mm, the power cable need to modify.

Seal silicone is alright.

I think your calculation is not correct, as the Self care Plan is RM 320 / year right?

So it should be RM 3,200 + (RM 320 x 5 years) = RM 3,200 + RM 1,600 = RM 4,800

Rental is as per your calculation, comes up to RM 5,040 and the difference of RM 240 can consider as extra warranty, as LG Puricare is warranty for 7 years if taken under the rent-to-own plan.

I have since decided to move from Aquaphor to the LG Puricare due to the following reasons:

1) App Connected and real time monitoring of filter health, with Aquaphor I just change it every year and the filter cost is more expensive compared to the LG.
2) One Touch Self Cleaning initialisation or machine cleans itself every week (at my preset time, can be done using app), there's only one other brand on the market which does this but doesn't have app and is more expensive.
3) Compact dimension, can be place on counter top and flush against the wall ( I got WD516AN in Navy Blue) and looks elegant enough
4) Hot Water Temperature can be selected at 40DegC, 75DegC and 85DegC
5) Tankless Design for both hot and cold, which translates to no microorganism breeding ground + not needing maintenance cleaning.
6) Self Service Filter change, and filter delivered to doorstep at no additional cost.
7) Cost Savings from Energy Saving (No Tank so continuous standby heating or cooling)
8) Filter Send to doorstep at no additional cost
9) Not RO Water and water quality actually tastes better than Aquaphor filter
10) The Auto Up Down feature can be switched off, important as my parents find it annoying
11) Inverter Compressor = very minimal to absolutely no noise when its working
12) Installation done by LG Malaysia Team and Warranty also by LG Malaysia, hassle free.

If you are considering a Hot, Cold or ambient water purifier dispenser, LG is one of the smartest and affordable option available right now.

I just installed mine on 1st Sept 2023 and if you looking for promo, can PM me

The app interface looks something like below:

Hi I already have an undersink filter installed. Lately have been looking for a hot water dispenser as I recently had a baby so am looking for a water dispenser for convenience purpose.

Is those smart water dispenser with tank recommended? Saw comments saying that there is risk bacteria will grow if not cleaned frequently.

Ah okay I am planning to get one of those xiaomi water dispenser too. Hopefully it will work well.

Does those Xiaomi water dispenser come with water filter?

Hi.I found water from the bathroom which from the tank dont have chlorine taste at all.Any idea why isit so?Any undersink water filter recomendations?

Anyone has list of contaminants that LG puricare can remove? tried to google but cannot find any. Anyone has info?

I had not installed any water filter

I'm in a conundrum too - thinking between Coway, Cuckoo, and LG.

1. Coway has NSF certification
2. Cuckoo has mineral water
3. LG has the best tech, from what I see - tankless + self-service.

But I feel like mineral water is a must-have at the same time. Any idea? I can't find if Puricare is mineral water or not.

Coway is RO Water, and possibly adds back minerals at last stage of filtration, depends on model of filter.

Cuckoo is not RO, seem similar to LG, whereby it retains the mineral content present in the water. (based on the website marketing wording, doesn't seem like cuckoo filter cartridge is adding additional minerals)

Based on my own comparison prior to purchasing LG, LG's closest competitor is Jiksoo (only the tankless model). And I do ask my friends / family which I recommend LG, to go check out Jiksoo and see if they like it better. Jiksoo main downside is the fixed design water outlet and non inverter compressor, design wise to me personally, LG is better with the ability to rotate the water spout 180 degrees.

The brands you listed above, from my own comparison most water purifiers are tankless only for the ambient and hot water, but for cold water, so far only LG and Jiksoo are completely tankless.

LG does have some downside too being tankless.

For hot water LG can dispense a maximum of 1l, and needs rest for 20 minutes before it can start dispensing hot water again.

Also max 85degC hot water is hot enough for beverage but for instant mee, it needs to be hotter. My old Seers 3 second boiler, can output 95degC which was better for instant noodles, anyhow we don't really use our dispenser for instant noodles, so its a good trade off for me.

Also, a 5 second full power heating in microwave, can get the water up to boiling temp as well. Anyhow it's a point to consider. Some dispenser do mention they can output 90degC but in actual fact the temp is closer to 85DegC.

For cold water, on LG I tested a max of 2l to 2.3l can be output at a temperature of 17degC (at this point, it drops to 1bar of coldness) and takes about 1hr to get back to 3 bar of cold level. At 3 bar, the output temp is about 6degC to 9degC as measured by my cooking thermometer.

Ambient water is unlimited, and there is setting to dispense continuously for 3 minutes.

If you need continuous supply of hot water of more than 1l at one go, possibly need to look elsewhere but for general use, so far after nearly 3 weeks, we are still happy with it and have since replaced our ageing Seers dispenser and undersink Aquaphor filter.

I can share with you the comparison chart if you want.

LG purifier and filter is also halal certified by JAKIM.

Yup it's more expensive, no app based monitoring, filter access is from the bottom of machine instead of front like LG.

The manual adjustment water tap is ok, but it cannot be rotated 180 degrees left / right unlike LG (meaning can't go flat against the wall, for smaller foot print).

Has UV sterilisation at output similar to LG.

After comparison and looking at overall cost of all these machines, I decided to get LG. Initially was looking at Intrix as well, but LG at just RM2/day for Hot/Cold/Ambient is a win. I'm monitoring our electricity usage, and there's no significant jump after installing the LG purifier since early this month ( on my image pls view month of Sept, overall reduction maybe due to less opening of the fridge as well)

Quite comprehensive review. Have you check/compare with Intact Water Q6+?
I still surveying Intact or LG. THanks.

Seems like "MDJ648444" have certification of NSF 42, 54, and 401 and only up to 200 gallons of water which equivalent to around 757 litres of water. How much is this individual filter replacement cost?
