With a fingerprint-resistant exterior and plenty of space inside, this LG refrigerator will add sophistication and storage space to your kitchen. Fill tall pitchers from the external ice and water dispenser and enjoy plenty of ice with the dual ice maker system.
I've had this refrigerator for about four months now. It replaced a 15 year old top mount GE. It keeps our food fresher much longer, which is the best benefit we've enjoyed since upgrading. Knowing that it uses significantly less energy is nice. The water comes out nice and cold, we've never run out of ice because this is the unit with the second ice maker in the freezer. Some day I would like a stand-alone ice maker, but this does the trick for the time being. The door alarm is nice for little kids that stare at food instead of taking it out of the fridge or if the unit doesn't close entirely. The shelves feel well-built and long lasting.
I purchased a french door style fridge thinking it was the "fashionable" design. While it is an improvement over the top mount style, I think a quality side-by-side could be a better option for someone that uses freezer space as much as I do. Anything in boxes--pizza, frozen waffles, breakfast sausage, microwavable meals--there is no ideal location for these products. Pair this with an upright freezer. Due to the LG slim ice maker, the storage on the left door that I would like to use for condiments is too small. My top left shelf is entirely filled by condiments. This refrigerator also has an older style water filter. The new ones are located in less intrusive places like by the drawers. Some of the pantry drawers allow you to select a different temperature and this one doesn't. I don't know if that's a feature that I would use, or just one that I want because I don't have it.
If this is your first refrigerator that requires a waterline, I would recommend you have Best Buy send a plumber or you can do this yourself with their copper waterline install kit. I found that the Best Buy kit does not contain a self-piercing saddle valve though, which means you have to drill. Use Best Buy's copper line and your local hardware stores self-piercing saddle valve (if permitted by your local plumbing code).
What's great about it: Lots of ice, Quiet, Quality construction
What's not so great: French door freezers, limited door storage
