CES 2012 News: New LG Smart fridges include blast chillers

LG kicked off the announcements for 2012 at the Consumer Electronics Show with some innovative TVs and mobile phones – but it was the fridge that caught the attention of many at the show.

LG's 2012 Smart Fridge

Your next fridge (should you choose a 2012 LG Smart model) might just have an innovative new Blast Chiller function.  Cooling a warm can of drink in just five minutes. Bloody good for hot Aussie days, especially if you live in Adelaide.

Throw two cans in there, or a bottle of wine and you’re ready to go in just eight minutes.

Gimmick or innovation? Potentially depends on where you live. LG might have a hard time getting the Canadians in the Circle to love this…
