What's great about it: Lots of door storage, great interior design.
What's not so great: Doesn't qualify for tax rebate
Love the refrigerator, works great. We found it on BestBuy.com and went to the store to look at it. We wanted white but the store only had the stainless steel. From looking at the pictures we found that the white was similar on the inside. Oddly it took some discussion for the store to match the online price and free shipping. You'd think they would be one in the same but you need to watch out. When the unit arrived at our house and after it was in place the third party delivery guys noticed a scratch on the door. Best Buy stepped up and had a replacement sent in a week. That was good. However the bad part was we missed out on an Oregon Energy Trust rebate because no one called ETO to enroll us in the program which had to be done prior to delivery. So even though the store is blanketed with ads about this program it's up to the consumer to ask each service rep they encounter about it.

What's great about it: the features
What's not so great: noisy
We have only had this fridge for one month so it's not really long enough for an accurate review but the reason I did is because I am very disappointed at how loud it is. And that was a big reason why we chose L.G. Many reviews said how quiet it is. Although a couple people also said it was loud. So we took a chance that we would get one of the quiet ones. Nope. And I don't mean the ice maker only is loud which it is but that is only for 8 seconds. Thats understandable. I mean the fridge itself. It's the loudest fridge I have ever had. All the other features are great so far but it annoys me that we bought something we have to listen to in our bedroom.

What's great about it: Best Buy was great about replacing the item. They worked with me completely.
What's not so great: Design flaw with the ice maker
This refrigerator has one big flaw, the line feeding the ice maker freezes. I had appliance people at the house 3 times and finally had to get a different refrigerator. There is a design flaw with the tube coming into the refrigerator. It should come it at an angle and instead comes it at a 45 degree angle. So when the water finishes coming in to the ice maker it doesn't empty completely and forms an icicle at the end of the tube. No one could fix it and I finally got a new refrigerator and sorry it was not an LG. Also, LG's only repairman in Central WI comes from Oshkosh and he has a lot of other problems like not answering his phone. LG needs to look into the whole situation.

Dislikes:

- Was disappointed with delivery. The gentlemen who delivered the unit did not know how to assemble the freezer components. I had to call the Geek Squad and schedule someone to come out and put the unit together.
- I did not receive a call the day prior to delivery. I had to call Best Buy and it took awhile to find the right people to call.
- Was difficult to reach Geek Squad appliance representative via phone.

Many other reviews have complained about a high pitched whine when the compressor starts. I don't hear it, and the refrigerator is way quieter than the one it replaced. I like the easy door shelves and how they can be potioned in various positions. I like the fact that the fridge will also beep when the doors are open. Accidently left the freezer door open on the last one and defrosted a lot of food.
Of course, I have only had this fridge for a few months and would certainly recommend it. However, a measure of a fridge's worth, IMHO, is how many years it lasts and in this case is a great unknown. Time will tell.

Neither my wife nor I are "fridge afficionados" but we couldn't be happier with this basic fridge. We've had this refridgerator for roughly 4 months now. I have yet to hook up the ice maker, but for the remainder of the fridge it does everything it is supposed to do very well. We really liked the concept of a bottom freezer section since we use that a lot less than the fridge portion. We liked the full door for our application because our fridge butts up to a wall, limiting our ability to get at anything using the half door of a side by side fridge. We had two thermometers left over from our last fridge (which we had to keep an eye on towards the end) and we've left them in this fridge just for laughs. It keeps very consistent temperature. I've found that you can go warmer on the fridge section than the manufacture recommended setting (which is marked in the fridge) and still be well into cool range. It is pretty good looking for a white fridge (which is all that would work in our ktichen), can handle large items (like pizza boxes) and it is nice and quiet. A+ from us.

What's great about it: Has the space to put all our stuff
What's not so great: ice maker is noisy
The old refrigerator had been reconditioned 5 years ago when it was 16 years old and the technician said if we got another 3 to 5 years out of it that would be great. He was right: we got another 5 years. He also said that refrigerators don't last that long any more. It was leaking and now we had to decide to get another refrigerator. Since we have a height restriction we were able to narrow down our choices quickly. We researched the hell out of this thing by going to 5 different retail places and re-measuring the unit and then re-vissiting 3 of our retail choices. This took 3 days. When it comes to buying furniture or appliances we are nuts about making the right choice. We bought this unit in white and it was deliverd on time and works great. It is very quiet even to the degree that 10 feet away we have a water cooler and the refrigerator is more quiet than that. The doors suck themselves in and hold really well. The ice maker has run perfect but is noisy when it refills. The pull out bottom is a neat thing for us because you don't have to get down on your knees to get into the bottom. Even the door beep when it is open for more than 30 seconds is set as a reminder and we never have the doors open that long anyway. We have had it 5 days now and there is nothing wrong with it like some of the other reviews have indicated. Event he salesperson said he bought one for his mother. This was a great choice.

What's great about it: Value for the dollar
What's not so great: Ice maker is a bit noisy
We bought a new house about 6 weeks ago and after a lot of in store and online research, we ended up at Best Buy for 3 appliances. Best overall price/delivery/customer service we could find. Many excellent features and very quiet operation. The only minor complaint is the ice maker is a bit noisy when refilling.
For a family of 4, we could use a bit more room inside but overall we are very, very happy with our purchase.
The delivery guys were fantastic too. They were on time, friendly and efficient with the delivery and set-up of the washer/dryer and refrigerator.

What's great about it: not much I'm sorry to say
What's not so great: See my review above, ie, noisy and door doesn't close by itself
After reading about this refrigerator in Consumers Report, I expected quiet operation and this appliance is extremely noisy with sudden loud sounds. Even the motor is loud. Also, despite frequent attempts, we cannot get the door to close by itself. It requires a firm shove each time.

What's great about it: Great value for money spent
What's not so great: Not much unless you think it's bad it's not a wine cooler too!
Every time I make a large purchase I do a TON of pain-staking research (ask my husband, it annoys him to death). Regardless, I did quite a bit of research (on this specific model), visited at least 5 different stores (other than best buy - including online), price compared (at those other 5 places - including online), opened every different kind of bottom mount refrigerator imaginable (french door, single door, water filter, no water filter, ice maker up top, no ice maker - you name it!). Needless to say - this was by far the model that best fit our needs. I've wanted bottom mount for quite some time and this is our first refrigerator purchase. I've lived many different places with many different refrigerators and this is just FABULOUS. I tell EVERYONE I know how much I love it and I show it off all the time. Sounds corny - I know, but it is really that great.
On to the features that I like best: It's QUIET - I don't know what these other people are talking about. I love the "beeping" when the door is ajar - I can BARELY hear it unless it's super quiet in the house. Apparently the people who think it is loud live in museum houses - just a thought. Also - I love how we can fit an entire pizza box either at the top shelf or the bottom shelf above the drawers. This is great because we eat pizza a lot since it is our favorite food. Also, the storage on the door is the best I've ever seen. It stores EVERYTHING. The only "complaint" I have is that the way we have it set up it can't hold super tall bottles (like wine) except in one spot. I'm sure that could be fixed if you move them around but I'm not interested in doing that.
Moving on - The freezer is AWESOME. It stores SO MUCH food. If you organize it right it works perfect. It has a divider that slides horizontally so you can make one side bigger than the other or equal. This is a great feature to separate out things you use a lot and things you don't. Also - we buy in bulk so this freezer is a God-send. In the wire drawer above the actual pullout drawer there is EVEN MORE space!! The ice box takes up little bit but if you don't use the ice maker (we don't - we are on a well and don't like the water - we just put in the bag ice when we need it) you can store stuff on that side too. The wire rack even with the ice box can fit a box of 3 Digorno pizzas as well as a loaf of bread on top of it.
Also - we had "low" cabinets that this refrigerator had to slide in under. This was the ONLY refrigerator that me the height requirement we had. It was between this and the Whirlpool Gold version of the similar setup. Unfortunately that one was too tall. But again, that was probably our first choice and this our second but I am still overly satisfied.
You probably think I'm insane after reading this but I put a lot of effort into this purchase and I truly believe it paid off. I'm not sure about these horror stories about installation either. I think everything is a crapps shoot now-a-days with the manufacturing process - but hey - that's what warranties are for. The guys from Best Buy installed it and we haven't had one problem yet. It was installed back in August. :o) ENJOY!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: quality, function, style, looks
What's not so great: not applicable
It is very spacious, has enough room for 4 trays of wheat grass with plenty room for other items. The drawers hold a lot and keep produce fresh for long periods. The trays in the door are large and adjustable. I love the pull out spacious freezer on the bottom. The auto ice maker is great. It is very quite. We got a quality product at a great price. Can't beat Best Buy prices and it was even lower with the Labor Day Sale.

What's great about it: Interior space
What's not so great: In-line water filter
We've had this new refrigerator in the home for several weeks now and it's meeting our every need but ice. There is an automatic ice maker, but requires an in-line filter which we do not have space for :( Other than that, the shelving and drawers are easy to move and clean. The door holds an enormous amount of food products making for easy access. The bottom freezer has a small, pull-out drawer which allows for smaller items to have easier access too. The bottom and main drawer holds plenty of food in larger containers. We were limited by space as to the models that would fit, but I must say that I'm not disappointed in the least with this model. It runs very quiet and my temperature gauge shows it's keeping the temps right on target. Overall a very good product for the money.

What's great about it: Quiet running, very effcient.
What's not so great: Not liking the freezer, still used to the old top ones!
This refridgerator is nice, it runs VERY quiet. A feature that I like is when you open it to get something out and shut the door, the refriderator will kick on just for a few seconds to make up for the espcaped coldness, saving on lengthly run time. LOVE THAT!
Overall appearances are very nice, lots of compliments from my company. Clean and smooth surface, the front is bowed though, so if you like to hang a dryerase board, for example (we do), doesn't work so well. My only problem is the the freezer, it works wonderful and everything, but I miss my old old freezer on top. I feel like I don't have has much much room, I think becuase there is a sliding drawer, which is a nice feature but breaks up some of that room that I am am used to having, but that is hardly anthing to complain about, overall happy we got it.

What's great about it: That it broke within 5 weeks of owning; enabling Best Buy to accept it as a return.
What's not so great: It stopped working 4 weeks after plugging it in.
I guess we have entered a new appliance age. We asked the repairman who came to troubleshoot why our fridge wasn't working, if LG isn't a trustworthy brand to buy, what would he recommend and his response, "They all are having problems." He said the life expectancy on new refrigerators is five years! Best Buy was understanding of our request to return this item - that has made this experience much more tolerable.

What's great about it: This has lots of storage and is so easy to find everything. Price was great. Love the freezer on the bottom.
What's not so great: I haven't found anything that I haven't liked yet!
Our new house had a smaller refrigerator with a top freezer in it when we moved in. I could not wait to get the bottom freezer model again like we used to have. I love all of the storage on the doors it holds everything that used to sit on the shelves! Love the way the freezer shelves pull out to me so that we can see what is in it. We are so happy with this refrigerator and the price was less than at other stores, what could be better! The service at Best Buy was really great as well.
