| coopd's Full Review: LG LFC22740S (22.4 cu. ft.) Side by Side Bottom Fr... |
We bought this on the rebound from a poor product experience w/Amana, so our expectations were not high. Now, we just hope for reliability and durability. But we have a very well designed machine, so quiet that we often check to affirm it is still working.
We did not want the icemaker, but simply did not hook it up. It is small and out of the way, but looks easy to remove if we wish. A large ice tray is included, which we fill w/store bought ice because we like it.
It rolls too easily, which is great for cleaning behind, but you need to be gentle opening the doors. We'll probably block the wheels.
Interior design is very roomy and seems bigger than the 22 cu. advertised. It is very bright with clear temp controls, easily adjustable shelves and door shelves. The door shelves are quite large.
The doors are not self-closing, a feature which we actually like. Our past refrigerator doors often went past center and slammed against a side cabinet while we were loading/unloading. The LG doors stay where you left them, unless you give them a push.
The handles are a classy looking pebbled silver color and the (white) door finish is an attractive smooth finish.
Bottom line, though we have only had it three weeks, we love it. Compared to our noisy, unreliable Amana, it is very quiet, prettier, less expensive and hopefully, more durable.
Update 11/19/07: We have now had this fridge for 6 months. Based on prior (Amana/Maytag) experience, we are cautious in recommending any refrigerator, but this one we love. Best feature is quiet! But we are greatly impressed with the handy layout and roominess. Look no further.
