LG Smart Counter-Depth Max, 4-Door French Door Refrigerator With Full-Convert Drawer, Print Proof Stainless Steel, 25 Cu. Ft.

This model provides 25 cubic feet of capacity. Multiple reviewers note it offers significantly more usable space than their previous side-by-side refrigerators of similar or larger stated capacity, thanks to the French door layout and efficient shelf design.

Yes—reviewers consistently praise the quiet operation. Multiple owners report it is noticeably quieter than their previous refrigerators, with one noting the ice maker is also very quiet and another describing it as 'whisper quiet.'

The doors are notably thick and wide. One reviewer specifically cautions that the door thickness eliminates the counter-depth advantage—the unit protrudes further than typical counter-depth models, so measure carefully before purchase to ensure it fits your space.

Several reviewers report an initial chemical or off taste in the water and ice. Most found the issue resolved or significantly improved by replacing the water filter with an aftermarket filter or by flushing the system thoroughly. One reviewer noted the water filter may be the source of the problem rather than the supply line.

The ice maker is housed in a drawer in the freezer rather than taking up door space, which preserves interior room. Reviewers report it produces adequate ice for typical household use. One owner noted it took 3–4 days to produce the first batch. One reviewer was unaware of a dual ice-maker feature and suggests checking the manual to understand all controls.

Reviewers praise the lighting throughout the compartments as excellent. The doors close themselves and feature an open-door chime that alerts you if a door is left ajar—a feature owners with small children or busy households appreciate.

A few reviewers report minor quirks: one found the freezer drawer does not close fully without pushing, and another noted the water/ice/crushed-ice selection button requires abnormal pressure to cycle through options. Additionally, the convertible drawer's corrugated bottom can cause cans to tip if not completely full.
