Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)About a month after I got married last year, our hideous, harvest gold, dilapidated refrigerator graciously went off to be with the Lord. We couldn't really afford a replacement, but I was secretly doing backflips that we could get something nice, spacious and not so hideous. While saving up funds to buy a new fridge and living out of a mini dorm fridge for 3 months, we researched various models. We definitely wanted the stainless steel variety and wanted a bottom drawer freezer... and this LG did not disappoint.
The drawer slides open and closed easily with just one hand and tends to hold quite a bit of weight with the stuff we cram in there. The side door is generously spaced to accommodate 2 liter bottles, salad dressing or just about anything else. Our frozen stuff stays frozen and the cold stuff stays cold.
My criticisms are few, but I do have some:
Frost/ice accumulates on the left side of the drawer occasionally, so sometimes some drops off on the floor.
The left door swings closed on its own - you can easily prop open the right door to load in something big and heavy, but the left door will not stay open for you.
The shelf adjustment is not very elegant - you have to take the shelves out and stick them back in at a higher tier. Some competing models had a hand crank which was easier to use.
The top of the vegetable compartments is covered with 1 giant piece of glass. It is hard to get out and very awkward to clean in a sink if something spills. This would have made a lot more sense if it were segmented into 2 or 3 sections for easier handling.
While I know it's par for the course with stainless appliances, it's very irritating to not be able to use magnets to hold something important on the front of the fridge. It's steel, not aluminum. It makes no sense. One day, I'd like it if some manufacturer would come out w/ a stainless model that was upgraded to use magnets!
The ice-maker is a tad tiny, so it gets jammed with ice frequently, causing us to take the basket out and fiddle w/ the ice to get it to move down the chute.
The digital panel for selecting crushed or cubed ice is too complex... you have to press buttons a few times to get it to 'take' - this could have been executed better.
The lighting is the best I've ever seen in a fridge - no harsh bulb in your face - very easily-distributed light throughout. So far, it's one of the nicest refrigerators I've ever owned.
