With more consumers experimenting in the kitchen as they spend more time at home, LG Electronics USA is expanding its industry-first, slow-melting LG Craft Ice technology to 19 refrigerator models while adding convenient new features designed to inspire consumers to take their everyday kitchens to the next level.
The entire lineup of smart, Wi-Fi-connected LG refrigerators with Craft Ice can produce double the amount of Craft Ice in the same amount of time for bespoke beverages at home. Plus, consumers can choose from new featured-packed models with a versatile Full-Convert drawer that switches among five custom fridge to freezer temperatures, LG InstaView “knock on” glass technology and large-capacity French Door refrigerators.
The flexibility to choose cubed, crushed or exclusive slow-melting round Craft Ice on demand just got better. In 2020, LG smart refrigerators with Craft Ice have been upgraded to include the option to double the Craft Ice output – from three to six ice spheres – in the same amount of time. Owners of 2019 models can also enjoy the new Craft Ice+ feature via a software download when they connect their fridge to the LG ThinQ app. With the ability to store up to 25 ice spheres in the freezer drawer bin and auto-replenishment, the new feature helps keep Craft Ice fully stocked for everyone.
LG refrigerators with Craft Ice are the industry’s first to automatically make slow-melting round ice (measuring two inches in diameter) in the freezer drawer without the hassle and mess of filling and freezing molds. The innovation opens up a new frontier for home mixologists while also keeping sodas, iced coffee, and other drinks colder longer. LG Craft Ice refrigerators also feature ice in the door and a water dispenser that measures the exact amount (4, 8, 16 or 32 ounces) of fresh, filtered water, automatically turning off when done.
New to the Craft Ice lineup are the most versatile InstaView refrigerators yet, new 4-door French Door models featuring LG’s first Full-Convert drawer (models LRMVS3006 and LRMVC230). The drawer’s temperature can be changed with a simple touch of a button, enabling users to increase usable freezer space to 40 percent or refrigerator capacity by 10 percent. Five temperature profiles meet various needs: Chilled Wine (41 degrees), Deli/Snacks (37 degrees), Cold Drinks (33 degrees), Meat/Seafood (29 degrees) and Freeze (-7 degrees). The Full-Convert Drawer includes adjustable dividers to keep everything organized.
