LG introduces first-of-its kind Dual Door-in-Door refrigerator

Global technology innovator LG Electronics continues to expand its line-up of premium and practical refrigerators as it launches another first in the market, the Dual Door-in-DoorTM (DID) refrigerator.

Dual Door-in-Door™ makes use of LG’s award-winning door-inside-refrigerator-door concept, doubling convenience over its single Door-in-Door™ counterparts. Powered by LG’s Inverter Linear Compressor, the refrigerator is energy efficient, runs quietly, and serves as a durable, long-lasting addition to any kitchen.



A beautiful display piece

Encased in a diamond black stainless steel finishing with a cutting-edge touch display system, this sophisticated appliance sports two mini-doors, each seamlessly mounted on top of the unit’s main top doors, allowing owners to store and conveniently locate frequently consumed food and drinks. The refrigerator comes in an expertly crafted design which is aesthetically pleasing and ideal for any kitchen and home interior.


Smart and functional

The Dual DID feature also allows users to open the refrigerator without exposing its entire interior, thus minimizing the loss of cold air, which is now even made crisper with the upgraded Hygiene Fresh+TM air purification system. The right Door-in-Door™ compartment is accessible from the outside with the simple push of a button allowing it to be used as a ‘family space’. The left Door-in-Door™ compartment can be opened by a handle at the bottom of the door and serves as a designated ‘cooking space’, ideal for storing essential cooking ingredients such as previously prepared vegetables, condiments and sauces.


Accessible through both the Door-in-Door™ as well as the main door, the incredibly convenient Tilting Basket is also located within the ‘cooking space’ on the left side of the refrigerator. Both Door-in-Door™ compartments are also equipped with Moving Baskets, enabling users to easily adjust the height of the internal compartments as they see fit.

The area at the bottom of the main compartment is inefficient dead space in most refrigerators. However, LG makes use of this dead space through its groundbreaking Extra Space™ compartment which opens up a new area in the refrigerator ideal for storing small food items such as eggs, cheese and sliced deli meats. Moreover, with the Folding and Sliding Shelves, storing food items of any shape or size has never been more convenient. LG’s comprehensive organization system also extends to the freezer section’s EZ Ice Maker and Easy Pull Drawer that is easy to open and can safely support heavy items.

LG Philippines Home Appliances Vice President Youngmin Chae said, “LG always wants to be at the forefront of technology that is responsive to consumers’ need. We don’t stop at one innovation, and the LG Dual DID refrigerator is a testament to that.”

Well-designed, convenient and energy efficient, the LG Dual DID refrigerator which retails for P159,995.00 encapsulates all that is needed from a central home appliance.

A refreshing drink that can turn back time for you, stay fit and healthy - Premium HyC150 and Ginger Black Tea Extract

Living a healthy lifestyle is what everyone must have. Have a healthy and well-balanced diet, enough rest, regular exercise, and positive perspective in life.

Many people never had to devote much extra effort to staying fit. Most of us spend the majority of our day sitting at a desk, doing work in the computer on the table, or on the couch and many hours on the road in the car. People neglect their health because of the hectic daily schedules but there are little things that you can do each day that will add to being healthy and fit.

Now in the Philippines are potent products that can make you look young, stay physically fit, and feel good inside out. Products that will make you feel you’re turning back the hands of time. 

We're talking about Premium HyC150 and Ginger Black Tea Extract. Premium HyC150, the rediscovered modern “fountain of youth” manufactured by Fine Japan Co. Ltd., is any person’s ally in remaining healthy, vibrant, and radiant.

Premium HyC150 helps you achieve this state because it combines three youth-inducing elements for a more potent supplement drink: collagen, hyaluronic acid, and ubiquinol.

These are also aided by other active ingredients like vitamin C, biotin, elastin and Pearl Coix. Premium HyC150 is the only beverage that combines these three powerful nutrients, effectively unleashing significant benefits for the body. Taken daily results can be seen within a period of one to two weeks.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is nature’s moisturizer, a gel-like water holding molecule that acts as a space filler and cushioning agent in the body. Collagen strengthens skin structure to prevent it from sagging. Finally, ubiquinol is an antioxidant that protects the body from environmental toxins, cell damage, and system injury.

Based on clinical studies done in Japan, North America, and Europe, about 93 percent of users reported improved hair, nails, and skin with continued use. Although results can vary per individual, it only takes one to two weeks to see the positive changes.

The best partner to drink Premium HyC150 is with Ginger Black Tea, also made by Fine Japan Co. Ltd. It contains turmeric, also belonging to the ginger family that has been used widely since old times for increased health. Experts say that turmeric contains curcumin abundantly, believed to strengthen liver function to promote metabolism.
