We like LG so replaced our 20yr old refrig with this - the closest to our old model. Some major design issues, unfortunately, they've gone backward. #1. The deep doors are annoying; unless packed full, the items clank around with each door open/close. Additionally, they make the refrigerator well past counter-depth. #2. If you open the right door first, and afterward decide to open the left side also... Look out! the vertical flap on the left door will not retract and can slam your hand if it's in the way when it's time to close the doors. #3.The deli-tray: It's crazy there is a solid top across it, that requires fully opening both doors to grab something that is right there. Our old version had a flip-up lid and I may cut this solid surface off and reinstall it with a hinge. #4. Fruit & vegetable bins have handles at the bottom, so it's ergonomically inefficient to pull open, then go up and inside the deep well; why not pull from the top to start with? #5. The ice bin in the freezer quickly turns cubes into a solid mass. Not sure what's up there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fridge is huge. We appreciate the space in the fridge and freezer. Only complaint is having to open both doors to use the deli tray.
Slow ice maker. Very spacious. Almost impossible to use as counter depth because doors need room to swing. Beautiful fridge. Had to pull away from wall to clear door swing, so ordering counter depth was a mute point.
Pros: Style/Design

We just remodeled our kitchen, and swapped out our old side by side fridge for a lovely new LG French upper with lower freezer. At first, it was overwhelming... there was so much space! I didn't know where to put things! But that quickly faded as I started moving the contents of our cram-packed old fridge into our beautiful , spacious new fridge. I'm still getting used to the water dispenser on the inside. AND... the app!!!! Super cool - I love being able to customize the settings! If we are going to be away I can turn off the ice maker with the app, I can customize lighting, and even add the contents!! Overall, I am thrilled with our new LG appliances!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this and had it delivered on Feb 14th. This is actually the 2nd LG we have bought. We have the exact same model in each of our houses. We love this refrigerator and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a counter depth fridge with a lot of capacity.
We were looking for a refrigerator to fit into an odd sized corner nook and this unit turned up at an sale price. I was skeptical that a "counter-depth" refrigerator would ever hold enough of our food, or work as well as our prior refrigerator, but I am pleased to say it has checked every box I used to judge it's effectiveness. We also switched from a black, smudge-proof refrigerator to a stainless steel model. I was not hopeful I would like it as I have family that complain of the hand prints left behind after opening and closing their appliances done in stainless steel. After nearly 4 weeks of use I can solidly say I like it much better than the black refrigerator, and keeping the finger prints at bay has been no issue at all. I simple wipe the handles down daily as I always have and I don't have anything left behind. The refrigerator is quiet running, beautiful in it's new corner, and holds sooooo much more even though we only graduated from a 26 cu. ft. to a 27 cu ft. The arrangement is just what our kitchen needed to give me more floor space in just the right areas, and more storage space in others. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and would definitely refer anyone I know (or don't know for that matter) to buy an LG Counter Depth Refrigerator.
Pros: ease of use, Quality, Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance
