LG Electronics French-Door Refrigerator Innovations
In French-door models – the fastest growing segment in refrigerators, LG is introducing a new line of 4-door models for 2010. LG’s most recent addition (Model LMX28988ST) has a capacity of nearly 28 cubic feet, but more usable shelf space than all refrigerators with a capacity of 29 cubic feet. Innovations such as the Slim SpacePlus(TM) Ice System allow for more shelf space providing greater organization and access for consumers:
Ultra-large capacity: With an ultra-large capacity of nearly 28 cubic feet – among the largest in the industry, LG offers consumers more than 10 percent more storage space than many comparable French-door refrigerators, without taking up much extra floor space in the kitchen.
Slim SpacePlus(TM) Ice System: This refrigerator features an enhanced version of LG’s SpacePlus ice system, which frees up additional storage space on the refrigerator door, providing consumers with more usable refrigerator shelf space.
Two bottom freezer drawers: Two freezer drawers help to keep consumers even more organized. The upper EveryDay Freezer drawer provides easy access to those frozen foods consumers reach for the most. The lower drawer is a separate freezer compartment that lets users store larger items and is great for longer-term storage. And because there are two drawers, each is lighter and easier to open than a standard bottom freezer drawer.
LG’s extra tall ice and water dispensing center: This feature enables consumers to fill uniquely shaped and assorted sized pitchers and glasses. With an easy-access water tap and a slide-out pitcher rest, the height of the water dispenser area measures more than 13 inches, making it the industry’s tallest.
An upgraded Four-Compartment Crisper System: This system provides more versatility to store fruits, vegetables and even canned beverages.
This ultra-capacity 4-door French-door refrigerator will be available in the second quarter of 2010 in a stainless steel finish at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $2,999.
LG also will be introducing an enhanced model (LMX28994) which will include all of the features of the LMX28988ST. For a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $3,499, this ultra-capacity 4-door French-door refrigerator will have a capacity of nearly 27 cubic feet and feature two additional freezer drawer innovations:
- Converta(TM) Freezer Drawer: This innovation provides added versatility with the ability to convert the top freezer drawer into a refrigerator drawer when extra refrigerator space is needed.
- Auto Open/Close Drawers: This function enables users to automatically open and close bottom freezer drawers at the touch of a button, making it easier to access food or unload groceries.
