LG LRFVS3006S InstaView Refrigerator vs Newair AB-1200 126-Can Beverage Fridge

The LG LRFVS3006S InstaView Refrigerator is a 30 cu. ft. French-door refrigerator that features a knock-twice InstaView glass and Craft Ice. This refrigerator provides ample storage space and advanced features to keep your food fresh and organized.

The AB-1200 is Newair's freestanding beverage refrigerator, sized to hold up to 126 standard cans behind a glass door. It is a dedicated drinks fridge rather than a general-purpose mini fridge: the shelving and the temperature range are set up for cans and bottles, and the glass front means the contents are visible without opening the door. Seven temperature settings cover everything from cellar-cool to properly cold, and the shelves are adjustable so taller bottles can be accommodated by removing or repositioning a shelf. At 18.9 inches wide it is designed to stand free rather than be built in, which makes it straightforward to place in a kitchen, home bar, office or games room. Newair backs it with a two-year warranty.
