Designed for form and function, LGs Side-by-Side fridges have the wow. We'll keep an eye out for them next month and let you know if we learn anything more. Capacity, Edge-to-Edge InstaView Design, Sleek, flat-panel design with pocket. LG InstaView Refrigerator GC-x247 CSAV 659Liter Expand all Basic Specification Colour Noble Steel Capacity Litre 659 LTR Cooling Technology Multi Air Flow. In the past, we've seen premium LG refrigerators debut for as much as $4,000. Available in a variety of designs and colors, most French door models already in the InstaView lineup currently start at around $3,000. No word yet on what any of LG's newest InstaView refrigerators will cost next year, but you can expect that they won't come cheap. LG also notes that its new side-by-side InstaView models in 2021 will have a glass window that's 23% larger than before. The UV light sanitizer and voice controls join the other bells and whistles that already come with the InstaView lineup, including a LinearCooling system that promises to keep temperature fluctuations inside the fridge at bay, the option for spherical "craft ice," and a Door-in-Door compartment that lets you access the refrigerator door shelves without opening the fridge itself. We should expect to hear more about the safety features next month. It's also worth noting that UV light is harmful to eyes and skin - LG hasn't responded yet to my questions about how that light is housed, or whether it automatically deactivates if someone opens the dispenser for repair, but the company has been using this UVNano sanitizer in its high-end water filters and other products since 2017. Meanwhile, the UV light sanitizer built into the refrigerator's water dispenser is designed to fire off automatically once per hour, blanketing its interior with ultraviolet light capable of killing up to 99.99% of bacteria, per LG's tests. The fridge uses ultraviolet light to automatically sanitize your drinking water before you take a sip.

As another filter feature, you can use Amazon Dash replenishment to automatically order a new one whenever your current one is close to used up. It's unclear if you'll be talking to a specific voice assistant with lots of established features or a bland, barebones AI, but the controls will at least let you open the door simply by saying, "Open the refrigerator door." You can also ask the fridge to display the day's agenda, or report the status of the water filter.


The refrigerator's voice-activated features use a built-in microphone and speaker, similar to a smart speaker.
