Compact design, cool storage. This counter-depth LG refrigerator will give your kitchen a seamless look. Plus, with designated areas to keep produce crisp, deli items fresh, and beverages chilled, you can make your groceries last longer.

One year out and couldn't be happier

I wanted to wait a while to write reviews on my new appliances. This LG fridge is really nice. First of all, it fits exactly in my space, with only 1/8" on both sides and the counter depth is wonderful. My old one was a small, basic fridge, and still stuck out awkwardly 6 more inches into my kitchen. This fridge rolled in nicely into the space. Be sure to adjust the feet to lock it down or it will roll forward when you open the freezer door. The fridge is very attractive in my kitchen, but I cannot get rid of the streaks on the stainless steel no matter what I do. I've tried the recommended cleaning with just a damp cloth with water and I've tried various specialty cleaners. Nothing, NOTHING, ever works to get rid of the streaks and every time you touch it, it leaves marks. My other kitchen appliances are also stainless steel by different makers and this LG fridge has the most difficult finish to clean.
The fridge runs very quietly. I never notice it. The ice maker makes the usual noises, but most of the time I don't use it because my tap water is lousy. The door alarm may be a nice feature for some, but the beeps scare my dogs so I turn it off. The lighting in the fridge is really nice.
I find the storage more than adequate. For being shorter depth than other fridges, I can still get a pizza box in. I've never not been able to fit something in like a large platter or a whole turkey. My Mom has the LG fridge, regular depth, and she likes mine better because it's easier to get to everything. That is very true. No losing items in the back of shelves. I live alone, but am a foodie and cook a lot, so I keep the fridge pretty full. I find that it holds a lot. The doors hold a lot more since there's no water dispenser taking up room. I removed one of the door bins to accommodate tall bottles, like wine, and don't miss there being one fewer bin. I actually use it inside the fridge to hold all my breakfast items.
I could do without the deli bin. I does hold cheese and deli meat nicely, but I dislike having to open both doors to get to it. I'm thinking of removing the deli bin and just using the open space. For everything else I usually just open one door. It's a squeeze to get a head of lettuce or cabbage in the vegetable bins, but hey, you could also cut them in half before storing them. I don't find the size to be much of a problem. The freezer holds a surprising amount too. I like the pull-out basket especially, because you have to dig through everything in the bottom freezer bins. I do have a small chest freezer though, because I store a lot of meat and frozen chiles.
I know a lot of people would not like the absence of a water and ice dispenser, but personally, I dislike the water from those and the maintenance. Plus it looks so much better and uses space better without it. I keep a pitcher of my bottled water in the door.
If you want a fridge that functions well, looks great, and doesn't stick out too much, this LG would be a great choice. I would buy it again.
What's great about it: Good design and very functional
What's not so great: Can never get the streaks off the stainless steel
I would recommend this to a friend!
