An Overview of Key Features:


From the get-go, it's clear that this isn't your typical refrigerator. Wrapped in a sleek, minimalist stainless steel exterior, the counter-depth design is crafted to seamlessly blend with countertops, offering a modern built-in appearance. However, the interior doesn't sacrifice storage space.

Behind the fingerprint-resistant French doors, you'll find generous pantry drawers, customizable slide-out shelves, dual ice makers, and various temperature-controlled zones to keep your perishables fresh. Enhanced linear cooling ensures a steady airflow for optimal food freshness, and the intelligently designed condenser effectively dissipates heat, even when the refrigerator is placed close to walls.

But where this refrigerator truly breaks new ground is through the integration of LG’s brilliant SmartThinQ technology. This fridge packs in state-of-the-art WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity allowing complete control straight from your compatible smart devices.

SmartThinQ Puts Fridge Controls and Monitoring At Your Fingertips  


Utilizing the user-friendly LG SmartThinQ app, this refrigerator grants owners an amazing arsenal of support features literally at their fingertips. Instant notifications can alert you if the fridge doors are accidentally left ajar or if the internal freezer temperature creeps too high. The app even provides customized maintenance reminders for replacing air filters and cleaning condenser coils to keep your fridge running optimally for years.

But it gets even smarter. The LG app enables remote adjustment of individual refrigerator and freezer temperatures whether you're in another room or miles from home. Voice control support extends capabilities even further allowing hands-free commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Home. This means you can ask to adjust temps, turn on the ice maker, run a test cycle, or confirm current energy usage completely hands-free.

Previous LG fridges have included some app connectivity features, but LG's newest counter-depth model takes the smart functionality even deeper. Food expiration date trackers and recipe logging allow you to take full control of food waste and better meal plans using what’s on hand. The internal cameras even permit peeking inside your fridge's contents on the fly so you always know what groceries to grab at the store.

For tech-loving families seeking a fridge that seamlessly syncs with their connected lifestyle and makes everyday tasks easier, LG’s MAX counter-depth refrigerator checks every box. But convenience doesn’t mean performance is sacrificed in any way.
