During the latest edition of IFA, LG presents some interesting news, among which the innovative bottom-freezer refrigerator stands out for its significant plusses, such as the 20-year warranty for its internal compressor. Moreover, the refrigerator’s powerhouse is the LG Inverter Linear Compressor which is 32 percent more energy efficient than conventional compressors. This and a range of other efficient features combine to cut the bottom-freezer refrigerator power consumption and give an energy rating of A+++-40 percent. This means that the refrigerator uses 40 percent less power than models with an A+++ energy rating and will make it easier than ever to save on electric bills.
«LG has long worked to develop a bottom-freezer refrigerator that set new standards in not just energy savings and durability but also design and the new Centum System bottom-freezer refrigerator represents the culmination of these efforts – said Song Dae-hyun, president of LG Electronics and Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. – Our premium Centum System bottom-freezer will help cement LG’s long-standing leadership in the global premium refrigerator market.»
