LG LRFVS3006D 30 Cu. Ft. Black Stainless Smart French Door Refrigerator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very great fridge super nice design and although not the widest, but it is very deep which makes it very spacious. There is a special door that opens a particular compartment which saves cooling power and is very convenient. Additionnally my children really like how a light turns onwhen one knocks on the window. It is a very practical, modern fridge that we all love!

We had been thinking of upgrading our side by side door refrigerator every since we moved into our house about 7 years ago. House was new construction and builder chose appliances based on specs of previous buyer (that deal fell through and when we later bought the house- we got "stuck" with their appliance choices) and so rather than be wasteful and replace a brand new appliance- we used the fridge. That style is just so inefficient that it drove us insane. Never enough room for pizza boxes on the rare chance we had them. Can't thaw or brine the holiday bird- fridge wasn't wide enough. Had to have a practically empty fridge to prepare/store holiday meals. Cook more than a couple of meals and you're out of room. You get the picture. We chose this as we wanted the largest fridge we could get, it was a French door, and had dual ice makers. Everything has been top notch. I was able to move everything from old fridge to this one and have room to spare. I even have Christmas dinner leftovers in the fridge..with the old fridge's contents (what we didn't toss anyway)..and yes, STILL could go to the grocery store and have room to spare. Every corner of this thing is well lit and you can reach it all so easily; no losing/forgetting things as they inevitably get pushed to the back of the fridge. Bins are HUGE. So is the pull out deli tray. I can put the warehouse sized sandwich meat and sandwhich/sliced cheese trays in the pull out deli tray easily. One of those larger party trays would probably fit as well though we haven't tried them. Bins can hold a Costco sized bag of spinach and not even be more than 1/3 full. I don't understand why everyone complains about the craft ice maker- proper research would've told many of the complainers that the maker only starts to make ice about 48 hours after install and only 3 a day. The door maker starts about 24 hours after install and within 2-3 days was full for us. That's without the ice plus setting. Yes, you're supposed to throw out the first 6-10 craft ice, and the first 150 or so regular ice (I threw out the first full bin rather than count) but even doing so we had another full ice bin by Friday morning and our install date was Monday night. We just bought a bag of ice (stored in the freezer and yes, still have room to spare) to tide us over. No big deal. We used a fridge/freezer thermometer and temp settings are dead on. A little colder center shelves and back of shelves and a little warmer in the door and top shelf- but we're talking a 1-2 degree variance. Nothing to get overly concerned with. Left hand door swings close hard- I think because of the ice maker unit. Storage on left hand door is limited, but it WILL fit the warehouse sized mustard/mayo/ketchup bottles. Door in Door will fit full Champagne and magnum wine bottles (hey- it's that time of year! lol), so I'm sure gallons of milk shouldn't be an issue. Half and half, beer, soda, etc. fits no problem. Knock knock preview works well and unlike earlier versions my big dog's voice doesn't seem to trigger it even when she's in the kitchen with me. And one of the shelves slides up and down to adjust as needed. Ice/water dispenser can fit TALL items underneath with ease. Don't much use the measured water fill, but when I have it's been accurate. Water dispenser nearly silent- if you weren't literally watching the water come out you'd probably not know it was running. Ice dispenser quieter but not silent. Ice does like to shoot all over- but that's just one or two cubes. Haven't tried crushed ice yet. Water is chilled coming out of the dispenser. Fridge itself runs quiet too. You won't hear ice filling the door bin once there's some ice in there. The craft ice however, you will very obviously know is being filled IF you are in the vicinity of the fridge when the ice drops in. But it's not like you can hear it upstairs or anything as noisy as that. Black stainless very elegant and does not clash with the remaining regular stainless appliances in the kitchen. VERY fingerprint resistant. Not magnetized on front. So far, my only complaints are minor: left hand door and right hand door are not flush at the top (yes, even after performing the leveling techniques) and are off about 1/8". Shelves inside hard to arrange so that tall items fit anywhere versus one certain area. Of course, you can put those tall items in front of the adjustable slide shelf- but that makes it hard to reach behind them to get items stored on said shelf. No removable drip tray for ice/water dispenser- so you will have to wipe the very occasional dribbles up. Though on the other hand, if your water leaves deposits/scale, there's no unsightly drip tray you must now clean all the time like before. Overall, we would make this purchase again. We have owned the fridge for about a week now, FYI. If something changes I will come back and review again.
