So, when do we get models with a Remote Control?

You know what I see there? I see a whole new panel of buttons, a couple motors and a bunch of new wiring all waiting to break.

 

[amdhunter]

It's easier just to pull them out towards you.

LOL! That's like the kitchen of the 60s where they just touch a button and the drawer opens. No wonder we're so fat.

That's exactly what I thought too...over-engineered and waiting to break. But oh so cool!

Gotta save that half a calorie you might have burned opening the damn door yourself.

 

[Squisher]

Do I still have to bend over to get the food out?

Thank god they put the anti-arm crushing sensors on the drawers. I thought we might have to get Congress to pass a law in order to reduce the number of refrigerator injuries in this country.

:thumbsup: Man, that's a dumb use of time to design and build that and i bet it costs a ridiculous amount of money.. and I want one

THIS is the next step in fridge technology advancement? Granted, this isn't as silly as a LCD TV embedded into the door, but close.

 

[Anubis]

looks like im not the only person that thinks that is 100% pointless

 

[geno]

I need a robotic arm to pop out and deposit the food directly in my big fat ugly face. Please.

 

[jtvang125]

WTF are you suppose to do if the power goes out? Starve?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Seems less convenient than pulling out the drawer.

well, the engineers struck out again. I've noticed that the refrigerators with built in LCD televisions seem to be going away.

Here's an idea for the LG idiots: A refrigerator with a built in microwave oven - you could keep food cold, but program it to cook the food at a certain time. That way, you don't have to worry about the chicken getting salmonella while you're at work & you can arrive home to a freshly microwaved chicken dinner.

I want a combo oven+fridge that way you can set food to be ready to cook the night before, have it cooked when you get home from work, and then just leave the leftovers in it to be warmed for lunch the next day.

I cannot imagine a single scenario in which that would be useful.

That's what a wife is for.
