Hello, anyone ever used LG before? Any thought on this model GC-B257SLVL? Seems like the best bang for buck for its size and class.

Also, the metal cooling thing that the new refrigerators have nowadays, does it make a lot of difference in energy saving?

This one about the overall quality and metal cooling. Does it make a lot of difference in energy saving?

Not sure about metal cooling, tapi bila compare with inverter (LG) and non-inverter (Samsung), memang banyak beza in terms of power consumption. Its been awhile, but if I remember correctly, LG was about 200W and Samsung was consuming about 700W in average.

Hope that helps

Energy saving came mostly from compressor equipped with inverter. You need to understand how fridge works. Initial cooling will went through freezer area before going into fridge part. Old fridge cool mainly with air from freezer. I guess once you open the door, the cool air escape and the whole cooling process begin again. My guess is that by using a small piece of metal, they are able to cool the air faster since metal is a better conductor than air, also partly also because metal dont lose it's cold instantly like cool air escaping the fridge whenever it is opened.

As long as it is an inverter fridge, the power savings will be there. Stuffs like metal cooling merely increase the cooling efficiency higher to achieve the final few percentage. My old fridge without inverter draws up 3.5kwh per day before I ditched it (meter change). Inverter fridge draws less than 1.5kwh per day.



Thanks for the explanation. I am using an inverter one now but since the metal cooling thing is being advertised so much, was wondering if the effect is as strong as they make it to be and if it’s worth to spend more for the metal cooling feature.
