LG 28 CF French Door Refrigerator SS

LG 28 CF French Door Refrigerator SSMy wife selected this refrigerator because of its spacious interior and ease of use. The ice maker does not take up any interior space in the freezer compartment and dispenses both cubed and crushed ice from a small area tucked into the left refrigerator door. We no longer buy bottled water because of the filtered water this machine dispenses. You can even place cans or bottles in the door in front of he ice maker! There is almost too much room inside the refrigerator with sliding and adjustable shelving to help with most any arrangement you may need. We have had this for about 3 months now and so far no problems. Our electricity use has dropped and the kitchen is much quieter because there is no loud compressor creating the cold air.

The two shelves for the freezer are very easy for my wife to open and they self-close with little effort. They hold all that we need but because of the large refrigerator space, there seems to be a bit less freezer space. We put less used items into the lower freezer drawer. Because there are two drawers, our frozen foods are not all jumbled together and are easier to organize.

We love the fact that we can fit large items that could never have found a home in our side-by-side refrigerator. It costs a bundle but if it is for your own personal use and you don't move around a lot, I believe you will find it worth the extra money.

My LG 4 door door refrig has failed twice now (after first year). Sure the exterior design is really pretty, and the shelving well thought out, but the interior piping for water is really cheap plastic that has failed TWICE now in different locations. I am NOT talking about the line from the wall outlet to the refrigerator unit. I am talking about the unit water piping. Piping that is part of the refrigerator unit. The type of piping for the application is not adequate... LG used this type of cheap piping to save money. The failure flooded my kitchen both times. And to top it off, LG service and support is very, very poor to boot. Call backs promised but never received. Parts promised but never received.

At the same time I bought the LG refrigerator, I also bought their top of line dishwasher... It too has a serious engineering flaw that caused the counter weight system on the door to fail. Now the door, when opened, drops to the floor like a lead balloon... I took the machine apart and discovered the pully system for the door uses string! Wow I could not believe it! Of course the problem was caused by the string breaking. Surprise! I call it extremely cheap engineering (hidden of course so you can't see it....).

After researching, apparently I am not the only one to experience these problems.

I will absolutely avoid all LG appliances. I am deeply disappointed with both my LG appliances.

I will never ever buy LG appliances again after my experience with LG....

Buy LG 28 CF French Door Refrigerator SS Now

Read all the reviews before investing ... I didn't. My LG is the one that is cabinet deep not a good choice.

Stainless streaks and is NEVER clean (compared to my other stainless appliances this is pathetic)

Ice dispenser has never worked. I was told by LG (whose customer service dept. is in the Philippines) to open the door each time and bang on it (it is 1 month old)

Large bottom drawer ? Freezes lettuce and fruit. Really odd instead of two half drawers - it is one very long one so BOTH top doors have to be open to access it.

A useless fridge poor use of space. Even gallon milk containers are a challenge to fit in correctly.

2 door, LG SXS big beautiful, worked for 10 months then temperature probe failed 9 months. Still on guarantee/warranty so had a freebie probe plus free labour. New sensor lasted only one year, but as it's now out of guarantee/warranty, I paid-up. Took 1 week for LG to reach us, weekend, public holiday, busy etc. but that's NOT the point, The point is one expects a fridge to last 15, 20 years, as our neighbours and all our previous ones did. Sensor is a simple component, BUT it is the 'go/no go' item for the fridge. If the circuit in the small thermo-whatever component opens, it shuts off the fridge. The tech. didn't know why it would fail. According to the tech. these sensors are made in Thailand, but not by LG, they come from a 'supplier'. The new sensor looks identical to the first one, so it may be that LG is accepting these failure-prone sensors without changing/upgrading etc. LG seemed to have no problem with spare sensor availability. That would cost me 1 sensor a year, or less if one is unlucky, as it's only guaranteed for 3 months. Maybe I'll scour the net for a spare thermo-whatever, (the tech didn't know the name of the component), and then fit it myself. I will never buy an LG fridge again. You wanna buy an LG fridge? You have free will. (I live in Thailand)

9.2 Cu. Ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator

9.2 Cu. Ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator
  • 9.2 cu. ft. (261 litre) capacity Bottom Mount Refrigerator
  • Recessed pocket style handles
  • Dual vegetable crisper drawers with glass covers
  • 3 integrated door shelves
  • Interior LED light illuminates without the heat of an incandescent bulb

Danby DFF261BSLDB Bottom Mount Refrigerator

We bought one of these refrigerator/freezers for our basement bar area.

Pros:

Quite attractive. It's enameled gloss black steel on the outside with stainless steel [look] doors; inside is white. Danby's web site says this about the door material: "Spotless steel finish looks identical to real stainless steel but without the smudging"

Energy Star rated (uses 20% less electricity than most units); we received a $100 rebate from our power company because of that fact. Check with your utility company...

The two thermostatic controls are in the refrigerator section against the back wall, out of the way. (See Customer Images.) Many of these small refrigerators stupidly mount the control hanging down from the inside top which gets in the way of storing anything on the top shelf.

Frost free. The unit this Danby replaced was not frost free and its freezer would accumulate ice on of its walls just from the moisture in the air. It was a royal pain to defrost and clean up the water.

Set to 3/4 of maximum cold, the freezer gets down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. We couldn't test how cold it would get on maximum since none of our thermometers read lower than 20 below. We leave it at about 5 below.

With plenty of cooling to spare we keep the refrigerator section just over freezing. These units work by directly cooling the freezer at the thermostat setting, and then circulating just enough freezer air through the refrigerator section to maintain its thermostatic setting.

Reasonably designed storage areas. Milk, orange juice, soda cans, etc., all seem to have their place. Gallon jugs even fit in the refrigerator door.

One of the very few small unit designs with the refrigerator section on top. That was important to us.

If you're standing right next to a unit that's on, you'll hear a very low frequency hum (emanates from the unit's rear & bottom) but at about 8' away, that hum is nearly inaudible. So, unless you're close to it, this thing is very quiet.

We ordered ours via the Sears web site for $420 + tax and picked it up in our SUV (to avoid a delivery charge) from the local Sears store. Locally purchased refrigerators are MUCH easer to return if they arrive defective or damaged. Since our old GE unit was reliable, we checked out the latest GE models at local appliance dealers. Unfortunately, they wanted twice as much for the new comparably sized GE units. Perhaps these GE models were "better", but you can't tell that by looking at them and their warranty was the same.

Cons:

The two plastic slide-in vegetable crispers in the refrigerator section are cheaply constructed and should have been larger to fully use their allotted space.

Other:

When opening the doors, the hinged side of the door pivots to the side ½" beyond the width of the unit. This makes flush installations on a hinge side impossible. So, although the unit is 23 5/8" wide, you'll need at least 24 1/4" width (24.5" is better) if either side is to be flush to a wall. We had exactly 24" available and it was really too tight. This isn't a product defect, just something to be aware of.

In a side-wall flush installation, the doors won't open far enough to fully remove refrigerator shelves or the freezer drawer, so set them the way you want before pushing the refrigerator into place. The refrigerator comes with a fixed location glass shelf over the vegetable crisper and 2 height-adjustable shelves, which is one too many if you plan on putting tall things on more than one shelf.

The doors come hinged on the right. For left hinging, you'll need to lay the unit on its back on the floor or have it sitting on an appliance hand truck (where it will be at a 45 degree angle). The doors can't be re-hinged if it's upright, since the freezer door hinge screws attach to the very bottom. You'll need an 8mm wrench (box, open, socket, or adjustable), Phillips and flat screwdrivers, and a drill with a 3/32" bit for pilot holes. In spite of the product handbook's drawings being way too small, any handy person should be able to do the job. If you buy the unit locally and have it delivered, that store's delivery person might rehinge the doors for you at no or minimal cost, but verify this before placing the order.

Once it's in place, the front two legs can be adjusted for height or level with groove joint pliers (search Amazon) or a similar tool, but the rear rollers do not adjust, which is standard for refrigerators. Therefore, it's important that the floor be reasonably level where the rollers will rest. If it isn't, consider using some type of shim arrangement that won't move when the unit is pushed into place.

If any refrigerator feet will rest on carpet, go the Home Depot or Lowes and buy a ½" thick x 2' x 2' plywood section for under the unit. (Both stores stock this size in their lumber section.) E.g., as shown in Customer Image 4, the front of our refrigerator was on a carpet; thus, the unit rocked to and fro, and made adjusting the front feet (having sunk into the carpet) all but impossible. Plywood stopped the rocking and made the front feet accessible for adjustment, but I had to construct a temporary "ramp" onto the plywood for sliding the unit into place. If you're having someone install the refrigerator, have the plywood ready.

The model and serial number are on a sticker on the back, so write these numbers down before pushing it into place.

Measurements:

26 3/4" deep from the very back to the front of the doors.

24" deep from the very back to the front frame (where the door gasket hits).

59 1/4" high

23 5/8" wide

Black plastic trim at the top/bottom of the doors results in the doors being 23 3/4" wide.

Opened anywhere near 90 degrees, the doors (on the hinge side) extend out ½" beyond the side of the unit.

With the compressor running, it draws 1.75 amps (202 watts).

Summary:

If you need a small refrigerator / freezer, this unit should be on your short list.

Buy 9.2 Cu. Ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator Now

I just got my new Danby refrigerator this morning. I LOVE it! I fits in my small kitchen (10x10) and looks great. It runs so quietly that you can hardly hear it. The fridge is not listed as counter depth, but it certainly is. It makes my kitchen look so much more modern and updated. I emptied out my old fridge (it was 18 cubic feet)and everything fit. It's almost like it is made to hold things perfectly. I bought this because after much research, this refrigerator only costs approx. $43 a year to run. With the price of everything going up, I figured with the low running cost and the smaller size I would save in the long run. Having the freezer on the bottom is the best idea ever. Everything in your fridge is eye level. You can see and reach all of your food easily. Hopefully this stops me from "losing" something in the back of the fridge again, only to find it weeks later with a funny smell and green fur. No more wasted food = no more wasted money. The only downfall I can say is DON'T order it from this web site. I found it for $378 @ "The Great Indoors." Just so everyone knows, this is a Sears company (!!!) and the customer service is AWESOME. I even chose my exact delivery date and time. I contacted many companies about their delivery service and most all places only had "curbside" delivery. That means that they will bring it to your sidewalk/front door ONLY. The Sears delivery men were prompt,clean,and very polite. They unloaded it, unwrapped it, placed it in my kitchen, made all adjustments to make it level, cleaned up and took all the packing materials, asked if I had any questions about the fridge, and wanted to know if I was satisfied with everything. It was a wonderful experience.

Allavino MWR-541-SSR 51 Bottle Wine Cooler Refrigerator - Black Cabinet with Stainless Steel Door

Allavino MWR-541-SSR 51 Bottle Wine Cooler Refrigerator - Black Cabinet with Stainless Steel Door
  • Single-Zone Digital Temperature Control
  • Smooth-Rolling Hardwood Shelves
  • Cool Blue LED Interior Lights
  • Glass Door with Stainless Steel Trim
  • Locking door comes with two (2) keys

I just got this today to replace a GE that cost over twice the price so I will temper my review. The unit sits next to a subzero and the cosmetics match nicely though there are imperfections in the brushed stainless that are apparent if you look closely. My unit came with a very annoying ding in the stainless panel of the door that didn't happen during shipping. I will contact the seller and try to get a new panel or door. The height of the unit is a half inch higher than specified with the legs in the shortest position. I had to remove the legs and get felt pads for the bottom to make it fit under my counter. It cooled right down but is much noisier than my previous one. Shelves are flimsier but perhaps adequate except that there are no side rails! When you pull out the shelf, the bottles on the end can just fall on the floor. Shouldn't be hard to make a fix but the shelf must have been designed by someone that never used a wine frig. Overall it has a pleasing look and so far is doing its job. The bottom shelf doesn't slide out but you can store bottles there, just not see them easily. The spacing of the shelves is actually better than my GE was. Slightly fatter bottles fit any shelf without tearing labels.

Addendum one week later. The seller won't ship just a replacement panel or door but will swap units or give a $75 refund to settle. I am taking the $75 because I don't want the hassle of repacking and shipping just because of a dent. It seems like a fair deal. I found a simple solution to the lack of side rails on the shelves. I cut 90 degree moldings from Home Depot into 16" sections and secured them to the edges existing shelves. Doesn't look bad at all and works great. The pine wood matches the shelves like it belongs there. Can't believe that these shelves were designed this way. The unit is still working fine. It's still loud (even as a built-in) and seems to be running most of the time, unfortunately. Still 3 stars.

After serious research, I purchased this wine refrigerator.

It is soooo loud everyone comments.

The wooden shelves are poorly made and have no sides to brace the bottles.

You risk the bottles rolling out and breaking every time you extend the shelves....

I cannot imagine a worse choice.

As a person who is not into electronic and yet did not want to pay hugely a tech to fix my refrigerator, I was very reluctant it will fit let alone how to install it. No problem, with enclosed instructions I did it perfectly and it works like a champs with a lot $$ in my pocket.
