LG 28 CF French Door Refrigerator SS

My 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....

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)

• Frigidaire - FGHB2869LF

This refrigerator is so quiet I had to listen closely after it was installed to make sure it was running. I've had it for about 2 months now and the dealer told me that the older models had icemaker problems but Frigidaire recently changed the icemaker design. I have had no problems yet and have never run out of ice for a family of four. That was a big concern after reading reviews of all french door models that have the icemaker in the refrigerator section. Really like the no smudge stainless, it does not show fingerprints. If you are considering a Frigidaire french door be sure you get one with the new updated icemaker. This review is on the model FPHB2899LFA. I'm one happy camper with this purchase so far.

Buy

Purchased this refrigerator from Lowe's not Amazon Sept 2010 & have spent $600 over the past 5 months on ice maker related problems involving both ice makers. Today tech support at Frigidaire gave up & I was offered a 50% rebate if I wanted to purchase another similar $2,100 Frigidaire refrigerator. Let's look at the math: Original purchase $2,000 + $600 in repairs = cost of ownership of $2,600 for the 29 months before the unit was declared non-repairable. Now Frigidaire wants me to spend another $2,000 dollars on a similar unit & they will send me a 50% rebate after the fact. So now I would have another $1,000 invested in this refrigerator for a total of $3,600 for a $2,000 refrigerator. And if you look at other reviews the ice makers are a big problem as well as loud banging noises all problems that I have experienced. And once FrigidIre pronounced the unit non-repairable they did not offer to replace the unit. They want me to buy a similar unit that according to most reviews say the ice makers and the noise are a big problem. If you are smart buy another brand. Stay away from this high maintenance beast.

Buyer beware! If you have hours to spend at your house waiting for the repairman or hours available on the phone to try and get Frigidaire to cover(argue with them) their defects on design on the icemaker(air entry/frosting over, lots of noise, NO ICE, water leakage etc. etc...) than this fridge is for you.

Very disappointing purchase from Lowes(not AMAZON)

Want

I bought this fridge Dec 30th 2010. 5 different visits from a repair man during the first year. Now, the ice maker has stopped working and the freezer temp goes form its set zero to 15 degrees and back to zero. Does this often.

I purchased the Frigidaire refrigerator and was fairly pleased with it for the first year. After 14 months, the ice maker stopped working. It took an entire swap of the ice maker to get it working again at a cost of $220. I contacted Frigidaire to see if they would at least support this unit with parts, but their response was "you should have bought an extended warranty." Warning! If you buy a Frigidaire refrigerator, add the cost of the warranty that you'll need when the unit breaks. Other brands that I've owned have been much more forthcoming than this with helping repair the unit just out of warranty.

The description says "pans," so I expected 2, being that drip pans usually come in sets of 2 or 4. Being this was an add-on item, I now need to wait for the other drip pan until I order something else. Buyer beware. If I find another seller in the meantime, I will use them. Disappointed. The one I got fits. Don't know about the quality yet. The low rating is because of the deceitful nature of the description of their product.

On one side it says "Front", but does that mean the front of the refrigerator, or the front of the holder (tow different directions). No instructions included, probably because it is such an easy install (if you know what "front' means. (I called LG, and they said that either directions was OK)

The Maytag matches very well our other newer Bisque appliances so that is a plus.

It has about the same space as our older replaced Jennaire Side by Side 33 inch width one. Maytag : MFI2269VEQ 33in Bottom Freezer Freestanding Refrigerator Bisque

To fit this new one in we had to shorten the height of a cabinet above it but expected to do it for most newer refrigerators. Also it being deeper than our side by side we decided to reduce the back free-standing wall and got an extra 3.5 inches, which was most welcome. So it barely stands out no more than an inch than our side by side one.

In general it has worked very well for the week or so we have had it.

It produces enough ice for a family of three. We like two gallons of milk can fit on the door and easier access for our child to get snacks. It seems very well lit considering our Jennaire was a very well lit model also. I think it will do even better as it has more glass to let light through. It is one of the most energy efficient models in the French Door style we could buy even with the Ice in the Door front dispensor.

We got it from a Big Box store for a fair price that included free delivery and removal of the older one. They also offered a 10% Energy Rebate that helped the price for us even more! (considering we had to do some minor remodeling to get it to fit into the wall better).

The only real complaint is we wished it had an option for an Egg Tray that would fit into the Door's Dairy area! We may make our own one by cutting a nice one we have been using! Or just put 6 eggs in a large silicon ice tray since it is not yet offered. CS replied few of Maytags new refrigerators offer/include an Egg Tray.

It balanced fairly easily unlike our previous model. So over all we like it but do have to adjust to the ice in door taking up room in the top tray area but do fit a few items underneath it. Our last model did not and probably could not have the Ice in the Door so now we do have that option and like it at our currently 33 inch width.

I would not hesitate to buy it again.

We purchased a Maytag refrigerator in July of 2012. It quit working in October. Maytag repairman did not have the replacement compressor that was needed. Home Depot brought us another refrigerator 10 days later. That refrigerator worked until the beginning of May 2013 (7 months later). Home Depot brought us another refrigerator 7 days later. We contacted Maytag after we received the new refrigerator and they were not willing to send us any compensation for aggravation or loss of food. Their customer service to say the least is non-responsive. We will never buy another Maytag refrigerator and we tell everyone we know not buy a Maytag refrigerator. Maytag had to know these refrigerators were defective and they should have recalled them. Home Depot Appliance manager told us there were multiple customers who had issues with these refrigerators.

There are many manufactures of appliances and our advice would be not to buy maytag!

Frigidaire FFU14F5HW 14.0 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer - WhiteFrigidaire FFU14F5H 1

• White 14.0 cu. ft. upright freezer
• Frost free operation
• Ready-Select controls with upfront display
• Automatic alert if freezer door is left open or temperature rises
• Lock with pop-out key

Freezer is still working fine after a at least three years. I had thought it failed at one point, but it turned out some men working in my basement must have played around with the temperature buttons (on the front which must be tempting to play with) and instead of putting it back to 4, they left it at 0, which is off. Everything thawed and had to be thrown out. I was upset and I wrote a bad review which I'm taking back now. What I like about it is that it has a LIGHT and it's not too big. It's more economical to have a stuffed freezer than a half empty one, since the frozen food helps keep things cold so the freezer doesn't have to come on as often (same concept as why our ice caps are melting so much faster now that some of them have melted...) Chests are supposed to hold the cold in better than the uprights, since cold air sinks and won't fall out when you open it. Since I only need to open it about once a week, the convenience of an upright outweighs the minor loss of cold. So, I feel I made a good choice all around.

It's the day before Thanksgiving 2010 and I just discovered that my less-than-three-month-old freezer FFU14F5HWJ (installed 28 August 2010)has stopped working, ruining everything for I bought Thanksgiving Dinner.

My experience casts very serious doubt on the quality of any Frigidaire product.

Purchased this unit a month ago. It runs 35 to 40 minutes out of the hour. The fan is so loud we hear it throughout the house. The service guy who came to check it out said all that was totally normal, just get used to it. Also was told the fan was in all frost free freezers. Why the fan has to be so loud is a mystery. Buy something other than this unit.......

I have this freezer for a few months now. Bought it after some research but mainly because it is very good value for the price and got decent (though not great) ratings from ConsumerReports which I trust. It ranked excellent on temperature and fair on energy consumption and noise but looking at the differences in annual operation cost this really isn't a great factor for me it can be around $30 A YEAR between the best freezer and the worst (more or less). Manual defrost are more efficient but I didn't want one of these and again, the difference is minor.

I store it in my garage so noise is not an issue. Note that unlike other vendors, the manual for this one says very clearly that it CAN be used in temperatures under 32F, so storing it in a garage is not an issue.

There's a display on the freezer door but it just displays the level not the temperature. However it is still nice to have some indication of the level and mainly some indication that the freezer is on. Also, there's a 'door ajar' alarm and low temperature alarm. The level setting can be locked to avoid accidental changing.

the freezer has a manual lock too

shelves are wire so no 'luxury' here but still their pretty solid and very functional. there's a basket at the bottom shelf which is useful. Also, there is plenty of storage space on door shelves although the shelves do not seem so sturdy.

light inside the freezer is very bright and it's easy to find stuff even in the dark garage.

overall build quality looks pretty good. It was very easy to level the freezer legs. The installer did this for me but then I had to move the freezer to another spot so had to level myself. Very easy.

I hope it doesn't quit on me like it did on other reviewers here. So far, I'm pretty happy with this freezer and it seems like a good buy and good value for the money.

things I would improve are:

* more robust shelves both in the freezer and in the door

* temperature display outside

but other than these I feel this is a very good product for the price

My wife and I bought this freezer from Lowe's less than 2 years ago. 1 year ago, the digital control unit failed and we almost lost hundreds of dollars worth of meat. Last week, the unit stopped cooling and again we had to put hundreds of dollars worth of meat elsewhere. My wife spent hours on the phone with Frigidaire, who finally agreed to pay for parts and labor in order to fix the unit. We called one of their contractors who came out that very day. He spent 30 minutes or so doing various checks and found that there was a leak in the interior wall, which he said could not be fixed. He then called Frigidaire and they told him they wouldn't do anything. My wife called again and they refused to replace or even have the decency to give a discount on another unit. She told them that they would be losing their reputation and that we would tell everyone considering their products not to buy them. Lesson learned NEVER BUY FRIGIDAIRE.

Samsung RF260BEAEWW

I purchased this product because of ratings in Consumer Reports and because of the Samsung brand name. The French Door refrigerator was installed yesterday by two guys from Lowe's. One a trainee, the other berating the trainee. They said there might be "water on the floor". If so call them back. They said the icemaker will make ice in 12 hours. OK.

24 hours later, the icemaker was still not making ice. We pulled the refrig out from the wall, there was a kink in the line. We thought that fixed the problem. Nope. We hit the reset button for 8 seconds. The "Icemaker" light is supposed to go dark. It didnt.

Also, the electronic display is supposed to be 0 degrees. But it's "frozen" on -8 degrees. Called Samsung. Service people were very nice and set me up with a local "repair guy" who is coming out tomorrow to see what the problem is.

Bottom line is, this supposedly well rated French Door refrig. is not performing according to the manufacturer's reputation. I'm not thrilled with what I'm experiencing with this product.

Maytag MFF2258VEM 22 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star

Pretty nice looking fridge eh?

Well don't buy on looks.

Maytag products feature parts that fail faster than light bulbs. You won't have to change the light bulbs inside this fridge because the switches will fail first, or else the circuit boards. Expect to pay for this refrigerator a second time in repair bills. Maytag does not provide any service information so that you can swap out something simple like a door switch. Onsite repairs by service techs will cost you hundreds of dollars for $25 parts. I'm an electrical engineer and all I need is a service manual and I could fix this machine myself. Maytag won't provide me with any support. Their attitude is to screw you and make it as painful as possible.

I will never buy a Maytag product again. Don't make the mistake I made. Choose a competing product with good reviews.
