Additionally, the models feature humidity-controlled crispers that help maintain optimal moisture levels for fruits and vegetables, prolonging freshness.

In terms of design, these refrigerators exhibit a sleek, modern aesthetic with a fingerprint-resistant finish, making them easy to clean and maintain. The LED lighting illuminates the interior beautifully, providing visibility and enhancing the overall look.
