LG Electronics has put a lot of energy into achieving – and even exceeding -- the ENERGY STAR® requirements for many of its kitchen products.  The ultra capacity 4-door French-Door Refrigerator – LMX28988 – is a perfect example.  It is 20 percent more efficient than the federal minimum standard, due in large part to new linear compressor technology.  This alters output based on demand, ultimately using less energy and saving consumers money.
