It was an interesting battle over which fridge to get. We had a Samsung with in the door ice maker and although the fridge is still working, the ice maker finally stopped. We decided we wanted an ice maker in the freezer drawer, but water on the outside. Most models with ice makers in the drawer have the water inside in a little spout, which I saw as disaster when I have my 4 grandkids over, as they drink a lot of water and they would constantly have to open the fridge to replenish. OR the other option is the water pitcher inside, but still didn't want to have open the door to get at water source. This model fit the bill! Literally as well! We bought it for $1500 and so far so good. Some reviews talked about the sound of the ice dropping and the water refill to the tray. Yes, I agree, it is a little louder than our in the door, but it is quick and after a month it becomes white noise. It really is a non issue at this point. Getting the ice maker in the drawer, besides the fact that having an in the door ice maker is a crazy concept as the unit is inside the refrigerator which is a higher temp that it should be to make ice work correctly (it gets a bit warmer, melts a bit and then jams up) we have gained a bunch of space NOT having the in the door ice maker! More room on the door shelves and new found space where the old ice maker would have been inside the refrigerator. So that is a big win for us! Also, getting the fingerprintless model has proved successful so far. Be careful to check your model number and the end letter should be "S". So far it is so much better at not leaving fingerprints than our old Samsung. I do have some small things I wish were a bit different. The drawers seem to be a bit more flimsy than they should be. Also, there is clear plastic shield over the deli draw center that gets in the way. Our old drawer had the shield, but it would lift a bit to get out of the way so we could get to the back of the drawer a bit easier. (see pic) The drawers don't pull out far enough to make it super easy to grab and go. Make sure you can open you door more than halfway so you can pull the deli drawer out far enough to get to the back of it. (see pic) I also wish they would make movable dividers in the deli drawer, but I just went to Dollar Tree and bought trays to organize...so not a deal breaker! Right now we are 99% satisfied with this model. All fridges have their issues, all models, brands can have great review and negative reviews. You just have to pick the features you want and go with it!

We needed a new refrigerator and we chose the French Door model with the external water dispenser. LOVE ❤️ it! Big and spacious inside. I like the placement of the light inside the frig and freezer, nice and bright to see everything. I’ll finally be able to place my cookie sheets in the frig to chill the shaped cookies before baking them nicely on flat shelf surface. I always was balancing the sheet pan on top of other items. I also really like the pullout freezer below. I feel the items are better seen. And thankfully fingerprints do not show up on outside doors!

I spent a long time shopping for a new fridge and finally settled on this one based on size and price. Had to install it ourselves because we live in rural WY and they don't deliver that far (120 miles away). No issues setting it up at all. In the book it said to expect a lot of noise when it was first plugged in but it was so quiet that I didn't think it was running. Very roomy, everything fit nicely. The external water dispenser is awesome and the ice is right here in the freezer so I don't miss the ice in the door. Plus no ice in the door means no icemaker taking up room in the fridge! All in all I am vry pleased with my purchase

Great value, capacity both fridge and freezer, lots of ice. Nothing fancy here to breakdown. Just a good looking French door freezer from a highly rated company. The water dispenser took some time to find the sweet spot. I like the slim design, and it makes for plenty of inside door space. But the dispenser doesn’t sit recessed within the door, so the port fires at an angle. The pressure is great, but the angle and the way it sticks out lead to a few spills. It really just means you have to be a split second more patient before moving cups away from the port. And extra caution needed when filling narrow bottles. In my mind, this isn’t a deal breaker.

I recently purchased the **LG 29 Cu. Ft. 3-Door French Door Smart Refrigerator with Ice Maker and External Water Dispenser in Black Stainless Steel**, and it has been a fantastic upgrade to my kitchen! The sleek **black stainless steel** finish looks incredibly modern and gives the whole space a more polished look. Not only does it look great, but it also resists fingerprints and smudges, making it easy to maintain. The **29 Cu. Ft. capacity** is huge, providing plenty of space for groceries, leftovers, and anything else. The **3-door French door design** makes organizing everything super convenient, and I love how easy it is to see everything at a glance. The **ice maker** and **external water dispenser** are fantastic features, delivering fresh ice and cold water instantly without taking up too much internal space. What really sets this refrigerator apart is the **smart technology**. Using the ThinQ app, I can control the fridge settings from my phone, and even get alerts if the door is left open. The **cooling technology** keeps everything at the perfect temperature, and I’ve noticed my fruits and vegetables stay fresh much longer than with my previous fridge. Overall, this LG refrigerator has exceeded my expectations with its sleek design, spacious storage, and smart features. It’s a perfect blend of style and functionality, and I highly recommend it!
