LG Tiiun growing "appliance" announced CES 2021

Just found this in my feed and had to share for those interested. Never had an LG appliance before, but this is a pretty neat idea.

"LG Electronics’ (LG) updated concept of green living will be unveiled at CES 2022 with its modern freestanding indoor gardening appliance, LG tiiun.1 Tiiun, which means “to sprout” in Korean, is an apt name for LG’s newest appliance that enables even the most novice of gardeners to cultivate vegetables, herbs and even flowers in the comfort of their own homes, all year long.2 Stylish and remarkably simple to use, LG’s latest lifestyle innovation offers all the benefits of a full-featured garden without the worries of pests or unfavorable climate.
Designed as a completely self-contained unit, LG tiiun features two shelves that can each hold up to six all-in-one seed packages along with three different kinds of seed kits. With each seed package containing 10 holes for seed germination, users can grow a variety of greens simultaneously for home-grown goodness in only four to eight weeks, faster with less mess thanks to the magic of technology and LG’s advanced know-how.

Interesting. Looks like everyone is getting into the grow category. That looks like they're focusing on the designer category of looks over functionality. Stick it in a room for looks etc... I'm sure it will grow lettuce and herbs. But for $1,260 that's going to be some spendy basil.

"LG’s smart plant grower is about the size of a large oven and comes in two colors -- green and beige -- and is priced at 1.49 million won ($1,260). A miniature version, the LG tiiun Mini, will appear on the local market soon."

Coming in at $22 a gram
