Awesome fridge, only one problem so far!
Great features. My last LG lasted 16 years. Only the ice maker failed on it but fridge still runs perfectly. I was worried the door in door would lose us room but the shelves are extra big, absolutely using and loving this feature. Only negative is the finish, it scratches incredibly easy. I wiped finger prints off with a nw microfiber cloth after install which left a row of light scratches. Ive noticed more scratches since then which is disappointing for a two week old fridge. My old fridge and LG dishwasher dont scratch. Good Guys service & delivery were 5 star!... Show more

Excellent ice making facility!!
What we like about this fridge We decided to purchase this fridge based on it ice making facility, and location of same. Our last fridge had the ice access external on the door which we liked. Easy to get without opening the door. We also, like the ice balls function as it keeps water cooler for longer. Having looked at other fridges with the door water/ice function, the LG fridge design of accessing the water/crushed ice and block ice at the door with ease was far the best option and best design we thought. It has proven to be very satisfactory, even small grandchildren have not problem accessing the ice/water. The interior space, seems about the same as our previous fridge, so, no noticeable difference in extra space. The motor is very QUIET. Temperature preset is ...

The fridge is smart looking, nice design. What we don't like The flimsy material of the door containers, they seem not as strong as our previous fridge (Samsung) Also, the fact you have to have the fridge door open to max to access the bottom storage bin or it will catch on the door. The filter at back, is not ideal. Would have preferred proper handles rather than the recessed ones. Not sure how well these will wear over the years. Purchased from The Good Guys January 2022...

Five stars for this fridge
We had been ahopping around for several months for a new double door fridge with water dispenser and ice maker. Initially we were going to go with another top brand, but so glad we didn't as they are still on back order from December and didn't have all the features we love with LG. The water filter is great once connected, it allows for standard and crushed ice and has uv light to kill germs. I love the craft ice balls, it doesn't take long for the tray to fill up during the week for Friday night drinks. The space inside the fridge is great, with good height between shelves and good sized fruit and vegetable bin that keeps produce fresher for longer. We love the quick access door that allows you to grab drinks or snacks on the inside of the door. The motor is quiet ...

Good sized compartments for a family fridge
This is a great fridge for our family of 5. Fast ice production is good, although the ice dispenser does tend to throw ice in all directions so you have to make sure you’ve got a suitable container to collect it - it will not go straight into your glass. The craft ice is a nice touch. I love the deep door on the fridge to fit multiple 3L milk cartons or juice with room for more, plus easy access to high-use items through the ‘little-door’. We have found the smaller door does sometimes build up condensation, which suggest sometimes it’s not sealing properly. It has really good sized drawers for fresh produce and a decent sized freezer with easy to access everything. The directions for plumbing were easy to follow and had all the parts required to get it done. We are ... MoreThis is a great fridge for our family of 5.

Great design, amazing functionality, great fridge
This fridge is brilliant. Lots of room and convenient for my elderly mum that have arthritis in her hands and can't open drawers or doors easily. I love the fact that the ice cubes making don't require plumbing, and that I can add my own filtered water, really a great option, especially when you are renting houses. When the ice cubes are made, it makes a little noise but overall it is a very quiet fridge. And the settings to freshen up your groceries in one button works so well. And it really doesn't use much electricity compare to the new modern once with fancy doors that are see through and where you can open just the drink department.. And it really looks amazing in our kitchen! Best fridge I have owned so far.... Show more

Great fridge, but definitely noisy
We bought this fridge after reading other reviews indicating the ice maker / water dispenser was noisy and thought 'how loud could it really be?'. The answer is, LOUD. We replaced an 15yr old LG fridge with this one, since we've been really happy with all our LG appliances. And we really liked the design of this fridge. Also, I can say straight up that this fridge is incredibly silent as far as general operation goes. The loud whirring noise only occurs when it dispenses water, or when it is filling the icemaker with water. The ice 'dropping' is not particularly noticeable. This whirring noise can be quite jarring in the middle of the silent night, but totally manageable during the day. To compare, it is far louder than I have heard before from plumbed fridges, and ...

This whirring noise can be quite jarring in the middle of the silent night, but totally manageable during the day. To compare, it is far louder than I have heard before from plumbed fridges, and my guess is that the internal pump LG have installed is noisy and not insulated very well. In a plumbed fridge, I suspect the in-built mains water pressure assists with pumping, which is why these fridges are quieter. The good news is that you can easily turn off the icemaker overnight as part of your bedtime routine - it is one-touch inside the fridge door. Even though it is noisier than we expected (and we were prepared), we would still buy this fridge. It is otherwise well designed, and the kids love getting instant ice and cold water. I also really like that the ice maker doesn't really interfere with your freezer space nor compromise too much capacity. Meanwhile, I hope LG will improve future models of this fridge with better insulation or a quieter pump.... Show more

Great fridge freezer but not perfect.
We are generally pretty pleased with this fridge. Its good value, and It looks great. It keeps everything fresh and cool , as you would expect, and nicely organised . The door in door feature is fun but we tend not to use it much. The craft ice feature is great. Really impressive. Its a quiet fridge freezer. Only making occasional noises when ice is produced. The things not so great water from the dispenser is not as cold as it should be. Its not really a big issue as we just add ice to it but you really would expect the water to be colder than it is. I find the water dispenser hole position a little awkward. It should be more in the middle rather than towards the edge meaning you cant just press your glass against the pad to dispense the water, you have to press ...

It should be more in the middle rather than towards the edge meaning you cant just press your glass against the pad to dispense the water, you have to press with your hand and hold the glass more towards you. The ice dispenser hole is in a good position but you do need to make sure your glass is wide enough otherwise ice will go everywhere. All in all, we are really pleased with the fridge freezer and have no regrets. Its great for the price and the little annoyances dont affect us hugely.... Show more

Ice balls..
Bought to replace a dead fridge without much enthusiasm at the time. The ice balls maker seems like a gimmick until you see them and use them in a drink. Holy cow, you have to try it to understand how awesome it is. And then there's the rest of the fridge. It's quiet and well lit, the regular ice maker is great, and the water dispenser is easy to use. Probably the easiest fridge to move into place, the thing rolls on it's wheels so easily. Has a WiFi connection and an app that tells you stuff about fridgy things. I strongly approve of this contraption!... Show more

love the ice maker!
I love my new fridge! Our old fridge was also an LG side by side which we had for over ten years and still works but we wanted an update and an upgrade. This one is just that. So spacious and smart, looks gorgeous too. It is easy to set up and navigate. I like that not only is the thermostat adjustable but also the brightness of the lights via the app. But the best feature, the very reason why I chose this fridge, is the ice maker. I've read the reviews complaining about the noise, but all ice makers are loud! This one is no exception, but honestly it doesn't bother me even at night. For me, it outweighs the benefits of having ice cubes and crushed ice on demand! Living in tropical Queensland we consume a lot of iced drinks and having this beauty is essential to our ...

Love this Fridge
I love this fridge freezer combination. Plenty of room in the fridge side and the quick access door is used all the time. The fruit and vegetable draws and door trays are excellent size. The Craft Ice Maker is a big bonus especially coming into summer. The water dispenser when used with ice is fine but unfortunately the water alone is not cold enough after you to pour several glasses of water, only the first few glasses are really cold. Freezer has a bit of unused space so I think another shelf would be good about 15cm below the top shelf for loaves of bread etc. Even with these minor things, I would buy this fridge again....
