      Love it! This refrigerator is quiet and maintains almost perfect temperature. I like the french door design with the freezer on the bottom. With the different drawer slides and storage drawer, the freezer is very easy to navigate. The interior lighting is so crisp and bright. I also love the exterior lighting for the water dispensing area. One of the best features is that the water dispenser allows for any size glass or pitcher. I also like that the overflow water holder is easy to clean. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into the design of this refrigerator.

      I purchased this model a month ago and immediately starting coming across some issues like temperature fluctuations in the fridge, ice taking too long to make, having to adjust temperature outside of recommended settings. I had to place to service calls with in a month to address these concerns and a new problem that dealt with nasty tasting water. We stopped using that water dispenser and ice maker and at that point decided to return the refrigerator for another brand. Its a shame because we were in the market for a range/oven combination and were looking at an LG to maintain same brand through out the kitchen.

      Comments about LG Stainless Steel French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:

      I wanted a new fridge for our remodeled kitchen. This one had all the bells and whistles. I like it BUT the fridge compartment is small because of the large freezer drawer. I have a freezer so the large freezer in the unit was unnecessary. No matter as I own another fridge for over flow. The other negative is the size of the icemaker, it eats up half of the fridge door space on one side. Also had to remove one shelf inside fridge to make room for tall bottles. Good unit, attractive design and it cranks out ice very well.

      Best Fridge Quality and Style that I Researched

          Comments about LG Stainless Steel French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:

          Outstanding fridge extremely quiet, very spacious compared to the side by side or the 25cu ft size, I do my grocery shopping and put it in the fridge, but it stays half empty due to its good size. I love the small size ice maker at the door, and the larger one in the freezer that is the smartest idea ever since not much space is wasted in the upper section. I like the outside controls, the option of crushed or cube ice. Excellent temperature control in all locations. Very stylish. I like the ice plus option in case you need ice faster than normal. If you wait for the big sale, you will get the best value for your money with this fridge. My wife and I love it.

            Comments about LG Stainless Steel French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:

            This is our first French-Door bottom-freezer refrigerator, so perhaps what we love about it is just par for the course for this configuration. But we can't get over how wonderfully visible everything is in this refrigerator. It inspires us to cook.

            The shelves are adjustable enough that we have space for tall items. We don't need the dual icemaker for daily use (so far the door icemaker is sufficient), but come summertime (and when we have company) we can imagine needing the extra icemaker. Both icemakers work great. Temperature setting for refrigerator and freezer is simple, water filter installation and operation is easy (and water tastes great), and shelves and drawers are easily removable for cleaning.

            So far (after a few weeks) we have had no maintenance issues at all (knock on wood). The machine is big, beautiful, and functional. We would recommend it highly.

                Worked great for about a year, then someone closed the left door with the flap closed. This broke a small clip that requires a complete left door replacement. Very poor design.

                Replaced older, larger unit but able to store more in this unit. Easy to access to most items either with the storage in the door, sliding shelves or freezer drawer. Looks great plus it's nice and quiet too.

                        We are still trying to get used to it. we just had a party and the size is great. but the shelves need a little more engineering. a Gal. of milk or two liter bottle does not fit quite right. on main shelves. or right door. and the shelves on the left door are 1/4 not deep enough.

                            There is no place to put eggs. You have to open both refrigerator doors to open any of the drawers inside the refrigerator section. You have to use the handles to open a door if you want to open the 2nd door after you have already opened the first door. These are annoyances. Still, the quality, at least so far, is everything I expected from LG. I would probably make the same or similar purchase again. The annoyances show up after you get it home.

                                This fridge made the most sense for our family. It had the most sensible storage, well lit, and easy to use controls. Plus it made my wife very happy, big improvement over our old fridge. The 2nd ice maker is a blessing when the in-laws show up! The only issue we've had is the scratching of the stainless surface when dispensing water and ice. Recommend applying automotive "clear bra" to protect these areas from scratches.
