Luxury Item with Many Conveniences

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This LG 23.5 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator with InstaView Door-in-Door in Black Stainless Steel Counter Depth has many useful and convenient features. The feature that we have found most useful thus far is the Cold Saver Door-in-Door partition. It is basically a mini-fridge within the door that you can access directly from a mini-door on the right or from the inside of the refrigerator. The door on the right side can be opened to the entire refrigerator or by pushing a button on the handle to the Cold Saver partition. This feature makes it convenient to access commonly-used items thus saving energy. When you open the mini-door, the items are at a convenient height. How do you know if what you want is in this compartment? This is where the InstaView Knock-on feature is needed. If you knock on the dark outside window twice, a light comes on inside the Cold Saver so that you can see what it contains so that you know whether you need to open the entire door or just the Cold Saver. Initially, I thought that the InstaView was just a gimmick to impress your friends but had little practical value. However, it is necessary if you what to see what is in the Cold Saver compartment without opening the door unless you have an ironclad memory. If an overhead light is on in the room, you can still see through the window without knocking on it but only faintly. The window does not allow you to view the items on the bottom shelf of the Cold Saver. Other useful features include easily adjustable half shelves. The front of one half shelf can be retracted so that you can place taller items on a shelf below it. It has three crisper drawers two of which can be set for either fruits or vegetables. A drawback in getting to the middle crisper is that both refrigerator doors must be opened. We have liked the convenience of the icemaker for an assortment of tasks from filling a glass to filling a pitcher to getting crushed ice or a glass of cold water. The water that enters the icemaker is filtered. You can easily access the ice bin in the door to empty it into the freezer bin or a cooler if you wish. One inconvenience is that you need to use the ice maker frequently or else you need to empty the bin and turn if off. That is a must when on vacation. The freezer compartment is well designed with a large tray and a pullout drawer and a large bin with an adjustable separator allowing the bin to be divided into two sections. All the items are readily accessible. The freezer compartment is lit. The color is black stainless. My wife does not like black appliances which seem to be in vogue. Henry Ford once said that you can have any color car you want as long as it is black. What goes around comes around - at least to appliances. Black stainless is a good compromise between the darkness of black and the starkness of stainless. It is also smudge proof which is an advantage. , Magnets will not stick to the front of this refrigerator.
Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are about 3 weeks in from purchase and I couldn’t be happier. I wen from a side by side to this model and am really happy. The outer door is a great idea- gallon storage is a big plus. Our most used items stay in there and it does cut back the loss of cold air. Freezer drawers are nice as you can see what you have versus digging in a bin. Minor nit - no egg storage, so you need to keep them in their carton. Not a biggie. Ice and water work great.

This fridge was purchased to replace a very large and very old secondary fridge. It is really well designed and we store an incredible amount of frozen food and drinks in it. It looks very good too and has a nice lighting in the fridge part.

Perfect refrigerator for the perfect space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased a new historic home! The amenities this refrigerator has is amazing. I love programming the food for updates. And I have used the Ice Plus feature. Door in door is the best feature as is the app for the SmartThinQ! Plus, the counter depth feature really makes the kitchen look amazing. I am glad that the black stainless was available as it compliments the other features within my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The features are well designed and clean, with parts fitting together tightly. The quick access compartment on the right door is particularly welcome, with its promise of greater energy efficiency and temperature stability in the main compartment. Longer use will show whether the greater temp fluctuations in that quick access compartment lead to shorter shelf lives for perishables like milk.
I particularly like the water/ice dispenser -- a very clean, simple display.
