LG - 29 Cu. Ft. French Door Smart Refrigerator with External Water Dispenser - Stainless Steel

So much space! Love the in-door water dispenser that does not take up any room in the door. Other models with ice in door (even ones that say slim) could not hold a gallon milk or 2 liter soda in door on the left side door because of needing space for the ice chute. This can hold both on both sides and makes plenty of ice in the freezer underneath which I actually prefer. Originally was looking at Samsung but heard bad stories about reliability

We've had this LG fridge for three weeks and we love it! It replaced our 13-year-old LG French Door Fridge. This new fridge is more spacious with 29 Cu. Ft. and very practical. It fits beautifully in our kitchen. The door shelves provide a lot more room than our prior product. Having the ice maker in the freezer frees up space in the left fridge door and provides us with plenty of ice. The slim water dispenser works well. It's a better design than our previous fridge. The ice maker is fairly quiet and I purchased an ice scoop which resides in the ice tray. Reading other reviews before purchasing this fridge, I was curious how well it cooled both the fridge portion and the freezer so I purchased two fridge thermometers. The freezer's temperature is accurate and matches the display on the door. The fridge temperature varies +/- 3º depending where I place the thermometer. We are very pleased with this fridge and hope it will last as long, if not longer, than our first LG French Door fridge.

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!
