Online Food Shopping via Refrigerator... LG Electronics Launches Dios Ice Water Purifier Refrigerator

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] LG Electronics will launch the Dios Smart Ice Water Purifier Refrigerator, which enhances convenience by linking with smartphone applications, on the 29th.

The newly released product (model name J823MT86S) can be linked with the home appliance management application 'LG ThinQ' to order food through an online food store. Various convenient functions are provided through a 21.5-inch Full HD transparent LCD display installed on the front of the smartphone or the top door of the refrigerator.

This product uses three cameras installed inside the refrigerator compartment to recognize food stored in the new concept storage space called Magic Space and the vegetable compartment. Using the ThinQ Food menu on the refrigerator door display, users can monitor photos taken in those spaces and check the list of foods recognized by the refrigerator. This menu is also available on the smartphone's 'LG ThinQ' app.

Additionally, it recommends cooking methods using ingredients stored in the refrigerator and notifies users of expired food information. By using the Smart Food Store in the ThinQ Food menu, over 3,000 food items can be conveniently purchased. The Smart Food Store is a service where food and daily necessities can be purchased, and LG Electronics started this service last month in partnership with GS Fresh Mall.

Customers can purchase necessary food items directly from the Smart Food Store through the ThinQ Food menu on the refrigerator door display. After adding desired products to the shopping cart, payment can be made via the LG ThinQ app. Even outside the home, users can check the food in the refrigerator and conveniently purchase needed items using the LG ThinQ app on their smartphones.

This product provides various information through video or voice by linking with Naver's AI platform Clova via the LG ThinQ app. For example, when a customer says "Hi LG!" followed by "Tell me today's weather," the refrigerator not only provides weather information by voice but also displays the weather information on the door display.

The new product is a top refrigerator and bottom freezer model with a capacity of 824 liters and a retail price of 7 million KRW. Yoon Kyung-seok, Vice President and Head of the Kitchen Appliance Business Division, said, "We will provide differentiated value to customers through the LG Dios refrigerator, which enhances convenience tailored to customer lifestyles."
