Everything else on the fridge has been great. Love the LED lighting, the counter depth, the easily accessible water filter, the in door ice maker, and the bottom drawer freezer. The stainless is a pain to keep clean, but so was our last fridge. I had read reviews on other sites that had complaints about the ice maker jamming. This has happened once to ours in the first week and was a quick fix. I just took out the ice container and banged it on the counter to break up the ice. It hasn't happened again. The counter depth for us has been great. Our previous fridge had gaps on both sides and stuck out farther into the kitchen. This one still leaves a small gap on one side, but is 3 inches shallower while giving us an extra 4.5 cubic feet of storage. The 3 inches doesn't sound like much, but it made a world of difference in the look of our kitchen.
The only negative thing I can say about this refrigerator is the high price. I couldn't imagine spending that much money on any appliance, but the wife talked me into it. After using it for a few months, I figure since it's saving us at least $50 per month in food costs, it should pay for itself in a few years. If you're looking for a counter depth fridge that keeps food fresh longer and looks great in your kitchen, this is the way to go.Ours has worked perfectly; ice-maker and water dispenser are great. And the whole ice/water package is in the door freeing up a lot of space. That's really important because even though this thing is only abut 4" less depth than a standard unit, it's a little tricky to get food arranged in it. We had to load and unload it a few times to get enough fresh food for two people in it. The trick is that everything thing as tall as a normal beer bottle must be in the right side door. All the tiny mustard bottle sized stuff must be in the left side door. Then you'll have enough space for the usual things in a fridge on the shelves.
The good news is that the doors have shelves that are really large and it is possible to keep a six pack, a couple of bottles of wine, and a gallon of milk in the right hand door.
A design choice that I don't care for is that vegetable bins are too small because there is a drawer for junk food under them. I would have skipped that wide short junk food drawer under the veggie bin and made the veggie bins deeper (if funny shaped).
The real problem IMHO is that the freezer is too big. We don't eat frozen food, and the icemaker is in the fridge, so this huge freezer is wasted space. Normal people that eat a lot of frozen food are going to get just about all the freezer space a standard has, but they'll really need the space in the fridge more. If they made the freezer about 4" shorter you'd get back all the space in the fridge you lose from the counter depth, plus you could put a six back on the shelves rather than in the door. There is a fold up shelf but the part that folds is too small to be realistic; the six has to go sides ways across the fridge.
As it is, there isn't space for more than 2 six packs, so probably not the fridge you want if you entertain...Purchased this refrigerator for size (counterdepth) and looks. Love how it looks, beautiful stainless steel but it has yet to be frost free! I've had a local repair man come out 7 times since 12/11 and each time he calls LG and is told to try something else. This last repair, the LG tech said "oh yeah, you need a defrost kit" (they didn't think of this before?). Each time I wait many weeks for the part to come in and each time there is no improvement. Ice cream boxes frost over immediately. Ice cream will last a few days before the frost is inside and needs to be thrown away. I call LG directly and speak to a manager who assures me that my repairman just needs to call and say it's unrepairable. He calls, is given something else to do and the dreaded cycle continues, a new part, no fix and I wait weeks in between (because parts have to be shipped from overseas???) FINALLY, I've complained long enough that a woman at the service center called to complain for me and LG has now agreed to replace this refrigerator. I paid $3200 for this fridge and I'm not even excited to get a new one. Wish I had chosen quality over size and looks! My 15 yo kitchen aid side by side is still doing a fantastic job, now in my garage!! Hope someone else fairs better. Just this week I had to purchase a fridge for another house and the LG fit perfectly, but just could not risk it again, I went Maytag!After a week with this refrigerator, and 2 hours on LG live chat. I found that they say it is normal to only be able to get one glass (8oz.) of water every 4 hours and that with my refrigerator it will only be cooled to 55 deg F. Wish that this had been in the manual. I probably would not have purchased it.
