• ★★★★★Best Refrig I've owned so far!

  I've had my new LG refrig for over 2 months. First thing I notice is how much more room it has than my prior 26cu ft side by side. Next is that it is whisper quiet. The prior refrig made a LOT of noise when the compressor came on. Last is how quiet the ice maker is, and it definitely makes enough ice for me as I use about 1 tray a day. The doors open easily but you'll need to push them shut and a little bell goes off if you leave any of the doors or drawers open over about 30 seconds. Easily the best refrig. I have ever owned.

• ★★★★★Nicest Fridge we have owned.

  Without a doubt, the nicest refrigerator we’ve owned. This fridge is perfect for our needs. The open door chime is great for those with small children or absent minded adults. The lighting in all the compartments is excellent. The bottom drawer freezer is very roomy. It contains the ice maker bin, on an upper drawer in the freezer which is almost like a slide out shelf within the bottom drawer. This refrigerator has a full convert drawer between the top fridge and the bottom freezer. This drawer has temperature settings that give it the versatility to be used as a fridge 37°F, wine chiller 41°F, deli / snacks 37°F, cold drink 33°F or meat/seafood 3O°F We are using it at the default fridge temperature of 37°F. Please be aware the temperature settings are limited to predetermined settings. The control panel is located on the right inside wall and is easy to use. The fridge has two ice-makers. One in the freezer and one in the left door that also contains the crushed ice, water and cubed ice dispenser on the outside of the door. It is also a “smart” refrigerator that is compatible with LG’s Thin Q app. This phone app can control the refrigerator and also provide you with current info about the refrigerator. The app has advised me a couple of times to empty the door ice maker. If the ice isn’t used regularly, the cubes freeze together, which can cause the dispenser to malfunction. It is my opinion that the refrigerator ‘s shelves could use a bit more position-ability. We had to compromise on shelf position by laying down a 2 liter soda bottle rather than having a shelf to accommodate the height of the bottle. So far, that is the only weak point I can point out. The control panel is located on the right inside wall and is easy to use. Be sure you have water access behind the fridge for the two ice makers and a three prong receptacle for the electricity, preferably on the wall behind the refrigerator. You will be all set to enjoy this magnificent refrigerator when it’s installed.

• ★★★★★Excellent design and space, extremely quiet

  Love this french style refrigerator, and it has so much more space than my previous side by side, even though they were both 26 cu ft. There isn't a big nice maker that takes up a lot of room, just a drawer that holds the ice made, and so far I have never run out of ice. Shelves are interesting but the one that holds tall bottles (wine, soda, pitchers) is very limited. I prefer to put these items in main refrig. (not the doors) but the shelves are too narrow to hold them unless they are laying down (and possibly leak). Totally silent when running the inverter compressor, and the ice drop is reasonably quiet as well. The outside is easy to keep clean of finger prints, This completes my collection of LG appliances (washer, dryer, electric stove, and refrig.). So far, they are the best appliances I have owned in the past 50 years of having my own home.

• ★★★★☆Nice Fridge!

  I really like my LG 25 cubic foot French Door Fridge. I has lots of room inside I like the sturdiness of the doors. Simple water and ice dispenser.

• ★★★★☆Very nice - just a couple quirks from perfect!

  I have had this fridge for a couple weeks and its almost perfect but has some quirks other may want to be aware of. I would buy again as its beautiful and fits my space and needs perfectly. I bought this french door counter depth flex drawer fridge with in door ice as it enables me to have more freezer space by using the flex drawer as a freezer for quick access frozen meals and veggies and disabling the lower ice maker for more deep freezer space. It also does not have the gimmicky ice spheres on the prior model which I have no use for. It is a nice depth vs many of the other max fridges which stick out quite far (I replaced a side by side) and the 36-38” deep fridges don’t work in my kitchen. Another benefit is you can reach to the back of the shelves. The in door ice is plenty for my needs and I like the crushing feature. The doors are magnetic (odd for stainless so I suspect its not actually stainless) but good if you want to decorate. I find the plastic compartments a little cheap/thin and there is very very little shelf configurability and no options to adjust door shelf positions. I actually may end up removing 1 or 2 shelves (they split left/right) so I can put taller stuff in as once you move them to make space there is only 2 or 3 inches between shelves and no good way to reach to the back in that narrow space. The crisper bins could also be a little shallower which would give more shelf space but that is likely personal preference. Visibility is very good and as an adult I don’t have to bend over for anything except deep freeze items which is nice as you get older. The top slide in the large freezer compartment doesn’t come all the way forward which makes access a little harder to access so I would prefer it to pull all the way out though this is common on most bottom freezers with ice makers. Other nits are I miss not having a butter compartment in the door - that would be a nice accessory as well slide out shelves and a bin option that could hang under a shelf - would be nice for that narrow space. Its also not quite deep enough for a large pizza box so if you want that buy the full depth model. Freezer drawers on mine work well though some others reported they were sticky once cold. I am having a problem with the left door staying ajar/not closing automatically as it should because the part that folds around between the french doors is not able to get past right door gasket flaps. Annoyingly the door is so close to closed the interior light turns off and it and is not triggering the door alarm so this has risk for causing a food/frost disaster and my main reason for 4 stars vs 5. I have tilted the unit backwards which hasn’t resolved the issue though it works sometimes vs not at all prior to that (the soft close feature which should be good usually slows the door enough to not have momentum to push past the gasket even if you try to slam it). I have tried others in the store and their door gasket doesn’t seem to kink in the way mine does so I am hoping replacing that will resolve the issue (not reported yet except here so not faulting LG). If the right door is pulled ever so slightly it works fine so it really seems to be that the gasket is just a mm or two too far back due to a curve/bend in the flap part at the top and bottom.
