About this model

A single person or couple is the household this size suits. It is direct cool, which is cheaper and more efficient but needs manual defrosting.
This is a catalogue listing, not a review: every figure is taken from LG's Flipkart listing and nobody here has tested this unit. The score is calculated from those specs. Compare the Amazon and Flipkart prices before buying.
Manufacturer's stated features
- 4-star BEE rating — lower running cost than the 3-star models that dominate this size

About LG
LG's purifiers are the premium engineering choice: stainless-steel tanks instead of plastic, dual-protection UV that sterilises the tank and the tap, and a self-sterilising cycle. If tank hygiene is your concern — and with Indian ambient temperatures it should be — this is the answer. In refrigerators, LG is the most consistently recommended brand in India: the Smart Inverter Compressor carries a ten-year warranty, holds temperature within a tighter band than reciprocating designs, and runs quietly enough to be unobtrusive in an open-plan flat.
