The frost-free freezer holds a mighty 219 litres, roughly twelve bags of shopping. The second balcony from the top has less height but enough space for a whopping eighteen 250ml bottles. The lowest two racks hold four supermarket four-pinters with room at the front, as does the top balcony – though you will have to tilt the bottles to get them out through the Door-in-Door. In real world terms, these balconies hold an extraordinary amount. However, you can only access the lowest balcony by opening the main fridge door. Unlike previous Door-in-Door LG models where it was easier to load these balconies through the Door-in-Door feature, the backs of these balconies are open to access from the main fridge cabinet in the traditional manner, and you can even reach over them through the Door-in-Door to pluck items from the fridge shelves and the wine rack. The top three balconies are viewable and accessible through InstaView and Door-in-Door. All in all, you are looking at a storage zones of between 600 cm 2 to 800 cm 2. The widths change though: the upper two are about 18cm wide, the third one down about 15cm wide, and the lowest is about 20cm wide. There are four door balconies: every one of them is 40cm long and 10cm deep. You get four non-adjustable glass shelves with a metal trim, one chrome wine rack with four notches, and three specialist drawers. You can fit 416 litres of shopping in the fridge, which works out at 22 to 26 bags of shopping, depending on your grocery retailer. A 16cm by 3cm soft LED lighting strip illuminates the freezer cabinet. Visibility is excellent across all zones of the fridge and freezer there are no hidden dark corners. The fridge boasts a 30cm by 3cm soft LED strip, and the InstaView “knock” also triggers a second 24.4cm by 2cm strip at the top of the door, ensuring that the balconies are not in shadow. The lighting in this appliance is at the top of the internal cabinets. The chilly air that vented through both the fridge and freezer as we conducted our tests was both noticeable and glacial. Bearing in mind that the temperature was on our side, it took just an hour for the fridge to reach 3 ☌ and the freezer to reach -18 ☌. Below that, there are six touch points with a primary function, and four also have a secondary function that requires a three-second press to activate. At the top are two illuminated temperatures for the fridge and the freezer. The easy-to-reach touchscreen control panel sits on the right-hand side of the fridge internal cabinet. We thought the older model was an eco-standout this model is even more so – given its size and feature set. Still, this is a large appliance and it’s going to be expensive to run. Here, we have an appliance that requires 350 kWh/pa for 635 litres of storage, whilst also operating its water dispenser and ice makers through a plumbed in line. Noticeably, this is lower than an older InstaView Door-in-Door American Style Fridge freezer model we reviewed, which was Energy Class F with 376 kWh/pa for 601 litres of storage.
It falls into Energy Class E, and LG states that total annual energy consumption is 350 kWh/pa. LG has obviously worked hard at getting energy consumption lower in this new model.
