LG InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators are one of the most in-demand refrigerators in the market today

Its new year and its time for appliances upgrade. If you have the money to splurge why not? I would consider an LG InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators for that aesthetic look upgraded features and design innovations.

LG InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators are one of the most in-demand refrigerators in the market today. LG InstaView illuminates the refrigerator’s interior with just two quick knocks on the transparent glass while Door-in-Door reduces interior cold air loss by providing a convenient space to keep frequently accessed items handy. Loved by consumers around the world for its ability to enhance user convenience, LG InstaView Door-in-Door, while already great, promises to be even better this coming year. 

At next month’s first virtual CES, LG Electronics (LG) will unveil the new and improved InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators that boast upgraded features and design innovations for improved user convenience. The sleek refrigerator sports a larger glass panel for its InstaView Door-in-Door system while UVnano technology is featured in the built-in water dispenser for enhanced hygiene while InstaView voice recognition takes hands-free convenience to a whole new level in the kitchen. With a more immersive tinted glass panel in the 2021 refrigerator, the new design complements the Seamless InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator’s flat stainless steel design and elegant aesthetic. And because the InstaView window is 23 percent larger than previous models, seeing what’s inside is easier than ever.

LG’s new InstaView refrigerators now incorporate LG’s UVnano technology which harnesses the power of light to effortlessly and effectively maintain a hygienic and germ-free water dispenser tap. First introduced in 2017 on the company’s most premium water dispenser products, UVnano operates once every hour to remove up to 99.99 percent of bacteria on the refrigerator’s dispenser tap. For additional peace of mind, users can also activate the UVnano feature with the press of a button.

A CES 2021 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation winner, the LG InstaView refrigerator with voice recognition makes time spent in the kitchen more productive and more convenient. No longer will shoppers have to struggle to open the refrigerator door with arms full of groceries when they can simply say “Open the refrigerator door” by voice. LG’s interactive voice technology also makes it possible to ask the refrigerator for today’s agenda or check the status of the ice and water dispensers. 

Every new InstaView product in the lineup incorporate LG’s proven freshness-enhancing systems, LINEARCooling and DoorCooling+. LINEARCooling minimizes temperature fluctuations, the main cause of food spoilage. Simultaneously, DoorCooling+ cools the entire refrigerator compartment evenly by distributing powerful airflow from a strategically positioned vent.

Debuting in InstaView French-Door refrigerators last year, LG Craft Ice is now coming to Side-by-Side InstaView refrigerators in 2021. The two-inch, slow melting ice balls generated by the LG Craft Ice system makes drinks look great while keeping them cool longer. 

“The popularity of LG appliances during this tumultuous time came as quite a surprise to us, but it’s a challenge that we’ll gladly face head-on” said Inkwun Heo, LG Philippines’ Managing Director. “We have leveraged the increase in consumer interest and pushed the boundaries of appliance innovation to deliver exciting products in 2021.”

The 2021 LG InstaView refrigerator lineup will be on display in LG’s virtual exhibition booth during CES 2021 starting January 11.

For parents worrying about their children’s education this New Year, they can rely on Samsung to welcome the year with a show of gratitude for the year that was 2020.  

 

To start the New Year, Samsung aims to make online learning even more accessible, comfortable, and fun with the biggest Back-to-School promotions[1] of the Galaxy Tabs where students can get up to P5,000 discount from January 5 to 31, 2021.

These tablets come with easy-to-use-features perfect for digital learning and those students in need of updated, powerful devices.

 

Giving students the power to study and play with the Galaxy Tab S7 Series

Those looking for a device that can seamlessly manage the mix of work and play will be sure to enjoy the array of cutting edge features such as a new and improved S Pen with ultra-low latency. This is best paired with the device’s 120Hz display refresh rate for the ultimate experience, be it in writing or drawing. The device also has the improved Samsung Notes app that allows users to easily create, edit, and share their ideas across their tablet, phone, or Windows 10 PC. Just like the Galaxy Note20, the device is also capable of turning messy handwriting into legible penmanship. Further expanding what one can do for productivity and entertainment, the device’s Samsung DeX feature provides a wireless means to produce a second screen through a monitor or TV.

 

Whether it’s note-taking for classes, drawing, watching videos, or playing the most intense games, the Tab S7 series provides an immersive and enjoyable experience through its large display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and quad speakers tuned by AKG and sound by Dolby Atmos.

The tablet comes with a precise, ergonomic S Pen which makes drawing and jotting down notes easier than ever. Parents can use this feature to encourage creativity among children through visuals—may it be in the form of painting or other types of artworks.

What’s more interesting is that users can turn their scribbles into digital text via the Text Conversion feature on the Samsung Notes app. 

 

The S Pen is also magnetically attached to the tablet and its accompanying book cover so users don’t have to worry about misplacing it.

Those who want to encourage the motor skills of their children will find the S Pen to be very useful and will serve as the super-convenient tool for all drawing and writing needs.

 

With the new Back-to-School promo, parents can now buy their children the Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Penat PHP 12,490 (previously at Php 13,990). [4]

Alfamart supports Chic.boy Republik Corp

Many had to shut their business due to pandemic but not Eden Satinigan who remain calm and get to partner with Alfamart Philippines. 

Eden Satinitigan is a businessman that has enjoyed a comfortable career as one of the owners of two companies. KDJA Construction Services, an engineering and construction firm, and SafeXpress Logistics, Inc., a supply chain company, was business-as-usual until the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic struck.

 

The ensuing quarantine limited the operation of construction companies, while logistics firms had to be more stringent, and invest more, in order to keep operating amidst a pandemic. With one of their businesses pretty much in limbo, Eden knew he had to make a drastic shift to compensate.

 

Fortunately for him, One of SafeXpress’s clients for the past two years was Alfamart, the first and only Super Minimart in the Philippines. So when he decided to open up the take-out roast chicken stall, Chic.boy Republik , he knew exactly whom to partner with to give his new business an instant boost.

“I knew the correct door to knock on,” Eden said. “Then phone calls turned into meetings. Then meetings turned into what Chic.boy Republik Corp is today,” he continued.

 

Barely six months from opening their first two stalls in the Saog and Sta. Rosa II Alfamart branches (both in Marilao, Bulacan), Chic.Boy Republik expanded to three more branches in other Alfamart stores.

 

Eden credited the success of the business to the advice he got from Alfamart. “We were new to the food business so we really needed all the help we could get,” he said. “Alfamart has been very supportive of us since day one. They helped us make sound business decisions as we explored this whole new world of the food business,” he added.

 

“Alfamart is always ready to help its partners,” said Alfamart Philippines COO Harvey T. Ong. “We’ve always had a culture of inclusive growth, and aim to raise each other up. This remains true whether it be in times of crisis or of relative comfort. Partnering with Chic.Boy Republik was a joy because they were willing to take risks, and eager to improve in their new line of business,” he continued.

 

Alfamart Philippines is always looking for small businesses to partner with. For more information on how your business can work together with Alfamart, visit https://www.alfamart.com.ph/be-a-tenant/.
