LG Electronics has launched the new 'LG Dios AI Objet Collection STEM Ice Water Refrigerator' model on October 26, enhancing convenience with artificial intelligence (AI) technology and a drawer-style freezer.
According to LG Electronics, the new product has revamped the traditional side-opening lower freezer into a mid and lower drawer structure. This design reduces strain on the waist and knees, allowing users to easily check the condition of ingredients from above when opening the drawers.
Functionality has also been significantly expanded. The mid drawer (convertible drawer) features a function that allows users to select from 14 customized storage modes for wine, kimchi, meat, and more via the LG ThinQ app. The lower drawer is equipped with freezing capabilities and an automatic ice maker. The 'Fresh Custom Zone,' which supports tailored temperatures for different ingredients, has been expanded from one to two compartments.
New AI features have also been added. The 'AI Fresh Care' learns user patterns to perform rapid cooling before meal preparation. During less frequent usage times, it switches to 'AI Saving Mode' to maximize energy efficiency. The 'AI Voice Recognition' provides voice guidance for storage locations and suitable modes, and it supports control of other appliances linked to the ThinQ app.
Spatial and visual elements have been improved as well. Through 'Fit & Max' and 'Zero Clearance Hinge' technologies, the gap between the refrigerator and the wall has been minimized to 4mm on each side and at least 9mm on top, achieving a sleek built-in style. The product features a 6.8-inch display and internal light gallery lighting.
With a subscription service, users receive product inspections and filter replacements every three months, along with care for the water supply line, outlet, and door packing. Additionally, cleaning care for dust and foreign substances in the rear mechanical compartment is conducted every 36 months.
Kim Jae-il, head of LG Electronics' Kitchen Solutions Division, stated, "Through the convertible drawer model, we aim to provide a differentiated customer experience in the domestic refrigerator market and continue to introduce appliances optimized for customer lifestyles."
