LG's proprietary inverter technology ensures that the compressor can automatically adjust the working mode. Even if the outside temperature changes, the inner cold air can cover the refrigerator evenly, with good cooling effect, low noise and stable performance.

4. Mitsubishi

4.1 Mitsubishi Refrigerator Design Features

The instant freezing technology developed by Mitsubishi saves the defrosting process. Different from other manufacturers who usually enhance the refrigeration efficiency by strengthening the compressor, Mitsubishi has developed an exclusive technology using the phenomenon of "supercooling".

Supercooling refers to the state where the temperature of the object has reached below the freezing point but is still not solidified. If the inside and outside of the food are quickly frozen in this state, the resultant ice crystals will be very small and will not easily damage the cells of the food. Therefore, frozen ingredients can be sliced without defrosting, and the original and delicious taste can be preserved.

In addition, all the accessories of the automatic ice maker, including filters and water supply pipes, can be disassembled and washed with water, which is also a unique feature of Mitsubishi. Families needing a large amount of ice can think about this brand.

Founded in 1908, Hitachi is a century-old brand. The brand has always provided us with some of the best high-tech appliances. They are known for their high-end features, smart controls, artificial intelligence, and rigidity and reliability.
Refrigerators of this brand have the best temperature and control function, and you will love its cooling performance along with leading features that facilitate modern life.

5.1 Hitachi Refrigerator Design Features

The refrigerators exclusively developed by Hitachi adopt Nano technology, which can decompose ethylene released by vegetables and fruits into carbon dioxide. These carbon dioxide will reduce the respiration of vegetables, thereby reducing the loss of nutrients and water.
By maintaining an atmospheric pressure of about 0.8, the oxidation of food is further inhibited, and the deliciousness of fish and meat can be kept at -1°C close to the freezing point.

Panasonic has developed the "Rapid Freezing" technology and claims to achieve the same freezing speed as commercial refrigerators. Using this function can improve the taste of cured meat, or directly cool hot meals to reduce the possibility of spoilage at high temperature.
The "soft freezing chamber" (fresh freezing chamber) has a temperature of at -3°C and can slightly freeze the surface of the food, thereby prolonging their freshness period.

The brand's carefulness can also be seen in the structure of the refrigerator, such as relocating the compressor on the top of the refrigerator to maximize the storage space of the fruit and vegetable compartment and the freezer compartment below.
