Some studies suggest that the average life span of a refrigerator in the United States is seventeen years, but many people find themselves buying these big-ticket items more often than that. Whether because of moving or redecorating or handing them down to children moving out on their own, it’s common to have to make this large investment at least several times in a lifetime. In light of the fact that it’s not hard to find refrigerators costing into the thousands of dollars, it’s definitely worth the time and effort to research the available products thoroughly. Buying a refrigerator and finding that it has features that are annoying or that the unit is undependable can be a real headache that isn’t easily cured. Many people who have done this research have been very happy to buy and own an LG refrigerator.
LG refrigerators reflect the manufacturer’s commitment to responding to consumer demand. LG produces many different models of refrigerators, each tailored to cater to the desires and preferences of a segment of the market place. LG engages in extensive market research and actively works to predict trends in preferences and incorporates the results into each new model they design and produce.
LG is a leading seller of bottom freezer refrigerators. Not too many years ago, such units were sold only by a couple of manufacturers. LG came to realize that the bottom freezer design is not only more efficient than other configurations, but that it reflects the reality that, for most people, taking up the eye level portion of a refrigerator with the part that is typically least used made little sense. In response, LG has become a leader in offering this style of refrigerator.
Another significant innovation offered in LG refrigerators is their interesting design employing three and four doors. This is another reflection of their ongoing market research and trend prediction skills. Yet another example of design leadership and responsiveness is their unique in-door ice maker, which frees freezer shelf space for other, more favorable uses.
A particularly convenient innovation of LG refrigerators is the availability of an extra tall ice and water dispensing unit. Anyone who has ever wanted to fill a pitcher or thermos with cold water and/or ice will surely appreciate this thirteen inch high convenience. Also featured is a small shelf which slides out to support your pitcher while filling it. How many other refrigerator makers take account of the fact that a container of water can get heavy as one stands there filling it?
While some manufacturers seem not to take the function of a vegetable crisper very seriously, this is not the case with LG. The available Opti-Bin crisper releases moisture into the compartment as needed to help extend the life of your produce. Particularly if you prefer the more expensive organically grown produce now increasingly available, this innovation will save you a significant amount of money, not to mention aggravation, over the life of your LG refrigerator.
Anyone who is familiar with the concept of flash freezing, which rapidly reduces the temperature of food in order to lock in the maximum of freshness and flavor will appreciate another LG feature. The unique jet-freezing drawer in the freezer section cuts freezing time in half, ensuring that your frozen goods will be as tasty as possible when you eat them.
LG also is a leader in terms of providing the finest in filtered water in their units that dispense water. They have realized that not all household water is created equal, and have accounted for that fact by engineering a variety of different filters for different circumstances. LG recommends that you consult your local water utility for an information sheet detailing the chemical composition of the water it supplies. By having this information, you can then select the right LG filter to deal with your particular situation. In light of the fact that refrigerator water filters are rather expensive and can be inconvenient to change, by buying and installing the right filter, you can not only ensure the highest purity for your family, but also extend the life of the filter.
Whether you would prefer a side by side refrigerator, or a bottom-freezer unit or any other configuration, you can find an LG refrigerator to suit your taste.
