With the LG InstaView French-Door refrigerator, you need not open the door to see its contents. Instead, just knock twice on its mirror panel to see what is inside.

This next-generation design saves energy as it prevents cold air from escaping from the inner temperature-controlled chambers when the fridge door is open.

South Korean global consumer products brand LG Electronics will launch the appliance at CES 2023, which takes place from Jan 5 to 8 in Las Vegas.

Formerly called the Consumer Electronics Show, CES is an annual trade show for cutting-edge innovations.

The LG InstaView French-Door fridge, which comes in a sleek stainless-steel finish, is designed to sit flush with surrounding cabinetry. It features the prominent mirror-coated glass called the InstaView on one of its three doors.

Info: Prices and availability in Singapore have yet to be announced. For information on the launch at CES, go to lg.com/sg
