LG’s GSLA81PZLD model is a classic example of a double-sided. It has a large 635L capacity and a water/ice dispenser.3 It features Multi-Air Flow for optimal temperature regulation and humidity4 while LINEARCoolingTM technology reduces temperature fluctuations, locking in the flavour of fresh food for up to 7 days.3 All of this functionality is achieved quietly. The model GSLA81PZLD is QuietMark tested and certified, ensuring that your new fridge freezer produces barely any annoying noise.5
The American fridge freezer from LG, model GSXV90MCDE, has a unique feature called InstaViewTM ThinQTM door-in-door. Simply knocking on it twice reveals a clear view inside the fridge, saving the energy of opening the fridge door to view what is inside. The UVnanoTM water and ice dispenser eliminates 99.99% of bacteria, while the Craft IceTM feature creates slow-melting ice balls for a luxurious drinking experience. With LINEARCoolingTM and FRESHBalancerTM, this model improves freshness and reduces food waste.6
When choosing a fridge freezer, consider your space constraints, budget and style preferences. American fridge freezers come in various sizes.7
635L is more of a narrow American fridge freezer with a width of 83.5cm, depth of 73.4cm and height of 178.70cm, with an additional UltraSleek Door style that enhances your kitchen style.8
The larger option would be the 530L, a double American fridge freezer with a width of 91.3cm, depth of 73.5cm and height of 179cm, benefiting from a large capacity, you can store more food in that refrigerator space.9
There are plenty of great features on the market today that make your life easier and improve your fridge-freezer experience.
Ice and water dispensers are a common feature on American-style fridge freezers. LG models are fitted with NSF-certified filters to give you clean and refreshing ice and water on demand.10 Beyond the convenience, the ice dispenser also reduces your energy consumption as it stops you from having to open your freezer to find ice, letting the cold air out.2
DoorCooling+TM ensures that the fridge is quickly cooled after opening the door. It blows a stream of cold air across the entire width of each drawer and shelf, cooling 35% faster than fridges with normal systems. A more consistent fridge temperature means a longer shelf life for your food saving you money and further reducing the food wastage that’s so damaging to the planet.11
Tell your fridge exactly what you need it to do with LG’s ThinQTM Voice Assistant, and gain peace of mind with smart alerts. If you leave your fridge open the ThinQTM app will notify you while continuously monitoring your power consumption. It can also be used to control your smart refrigerator remotely.12
Compared with standard rotary compressors that use circular motion, LG’s Linear Compressor converts linear motion into cooling power much more efficiently. This reduces energy consumption and noise when compared to refrigerators with conventional motors.13
