ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today announced plans to introduce its first double Door-in-Door™ Mega-Capacity refrigerator (Model LPXS34886C) in 2015. The award-winning "door-in-door" concept pioneered by LG is among the highlights of cutting-edge refrigerator innovations to be unveiled at the 2015 International CES^® in Las Vegas next week.

LG Mega-Capacity Refrigerator with Double Door-in-Door(TM) (model LPXS34886C)

This new model, which is expected to be ENERGY STAR^® certified, has two independent Door-in-Door™ compartments, giving you the ultimate in convenience — better organization and easy access — while maximizing conservation of cold air. The right Door-in-Door™ is accessible from both the outside with a simple push of a button as well as from the inside, making it easy to load with often-used items like snacks, drinks, lunches and more. The left Door-in-Door™ provides additional easy access storage space via a trigger on the bottom of the door. By utilizing LG's innovative Door-in-Door™ feature without opening the entire refrigerator, cold air loss is reduced by up to 47 percent to help keep food fresh longer.¹

Expertly crafted, the refrigerator also features contour processed, tempered glass that has been applied over curved glass. Black patterned finishing provides a stylish design that is both aesthetically pleasing and leaves the outside fingerprint and smudge resistant so it always looks its best. The refrigerator is also equipped with EasyLift™ Bins, which allows users to adjust the height of the internal compartments to accommodate large or oddly-shaped bottles.

"Our Door-in-Door™ has been without a doubt one of the most popular design features we've ever introduced," said David VanderWaal, head of marketing for LG Electronics USA. "With the introduction of the new Mega-Capacity Door-in-Door™, we've taken this popular feature and created an even better refrigerator. Organizing food takes on a whole new level of satisfaction with this model."

The LG Mega-Capacity Door-in-Door^™ refrigerator also offers Smart Diagnosis™, which allows call center representatives to quickly diagnose problems over the phone. LG's Smart Diagnosis™ smartphone app ² even allows homeowners to record and analyze signals from the refrigerator for immediate advice on repair options.

Key specifications include:

34 cubic feet of space
Double Door-in-Door^™
Smart Cooling Plus™
Fresh Air Filter
Smart Diagnosis™
Contour Glass Finish
Premium LED Interior Lighting
EasyLift™ Bins

Visitors to LG's booth at 2015 International CES (Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall #8204) can personally experience LG's newest home appliances for themselves.

² Available only on Android smartphones.
