LG 674L Side-by-Side Fridge with UVnano Water Dispenser – Expansive Storage for Modern Households

The LG GC-L257CQEL 674L Side-by-Side Fridge with UVnano Water Dispenser offers a vast 674-liter gross capacity (611L net), split into spacious refrigerator and freezer sections, perfect for large families or entertaining. The side-by-side design provides dual vertical doors for simultaneous access to fresh and frozen items, minimizing temperature fluctuations. Adjustable tempered glass shelves support up to 150kg each, while door bins hold tall bottles and condiments. The freezer includes pull-out drawers and an ice maker for cubed ice, with SpacePlus™ placement on the door saving interior space. The matte black finish adds a premium, fingerprint-resistant aesthetic, complementing contemporary kitchens.

Innovative Smart Inverter Cooling

Powered by a smart inverter linear compressor, the GC-L257CQEL adjusts speed for precise cooling, reducing energy use by up to 32% and operating quietly at 38dB. The environmentally friendly R600A refrigerant ensures efficient, ozone-safe performance. DoorCooling+™ technology circulates cold air into door bins, cooling them 32% faster than conventional models, keeping items like dairy or drinks fresh longer. Multi-air flow vents distribute cool air evenly, maintaining fridge temperatures at 2–8°C and freezer at -18°C, preventing hot spots and food spoilage.

UVnano and Hygiene Fresh for Pure Water and Air

The UVnano water dispenser uses UV LED to reduce up to 99.99% of bacteria in the nozzle after every use, providing hygienic, chilled water without plumbing (non-plumbed tank). Hygiene Fresh+™ employs a 3-layer filter to eliminate 99.99% of odors and bacteria, creating a fresher interior. These features ensure safe hydration and storage, with TÜV Rheinland certification validating UVnano’s efficacy against E. coli and other microbes.

Smart Connectivity and Convenience

Smart Diagnosis™ connects to the LG ThinQ app for remote troubleshooting, scanning issues via smartphone for quick fixes. ThinQ integration allows monitoring temperature, receiving alerts, and downloading recipes based on stored items. The A++ energy rating consumes about 1.0kWh/day, promoting savings. At 913 x 1790 x 735 mm, it fits spacious kitchens, with reversible doors and leveling feet for stability. Express freeze rapidly chills new groceries to -23°C.

Performance and User Experience

In tropical climates, the inverter compressor excels with stable cooling during fluctuations when paired with a stabilizer. Users appreciate the spacious layout, hygienic dispenser, and quiet operation, though some note the non-plumbed tank requires manual refills. Compared to single-door models, its side-by-side format offers better organization and accessibility.
