LG American Fridges
In our surveys, LG refrigerators received high ratings from owners for their capacity, storage and organization and ice maker performance and energy efficiency. They also have advanced intelligent capabilities, such as door cooling that helps maintain the temperature of the utility compartment.
Features like the InstaView Door-in-Door let you see inside the door without opening, and when you knock twice on a translucent panel it will become transparent. You can even connect your LG fridge to your phone via ThinQ.
Door-in-Door Fridge Freezers
Door-in-door fridges are a good option if you wish to look like an integrated refrigerator, but do not have enough room for one. They have a compartment in the side of the door that can be opened by knocking it twice. The sleek panel is lit up to show what's inside, while preventing cold air escape and helping food stay fresher longer.
This style is relatively new however, a few brands -- including LG and Samsung -- offer these models. Consumer Reports found that these units have the same capacity and perform as their non-door-in-door counterparts, although they don't have quite as much usable storage. They're also generally more expensive than other refrigerators.
Take a look at the LG LRFLC2706S if you are looking to purchase one. It's the best blend of design and capacity we've seen at this cost (normally around $2,000) and comes from a high-rated brand. Plus, it has an a bit longer warranty than the majority of refrigerators in this price range.
Counter-depth refrigerators can give you a seamless, built-in look that blends in with your counters to give an elegant appearance. Pick from a range of styles, including standard-depth French doors, side-byside counter-depth refrigerations, and bottom freezer-counter-depth refrigerators. Many of these models offer unique features, such as InstaView which lets you view the contents of the refrigerator without having to open the door. Simply knock twice on the panel and it will turn on.
A smart fridge is an excellent investment for any kitchen. Find models with Wi-Fi, which connects to the internet at your home which allows you to control and monitor your fridge from any location. Frydge are compatible with LG ThinQ apps, which allows you to upload images and create shopping lists between your smartphone and fridge. There are also refrigerators equipped with Smart cooling, which uses sensors to analyze the temperature and then automatically adjusts the temperature inside to keep food fresher for longer.
French Door Fridge Freezers
LG French Door Refrigerators can give your kitchen a modern built-in appearance without sacrificing space. You can pick from a range of sizes and configurations that best fit your space while still allowing you access all the items you love. LG's innovative InstaView door-indoor feature is illuminated by slamming the panel with a tint. This lets you view your food items and beverages while preventing cold-air from getting out.

The LRFLC2706S offers the best combination of design and capacity that we've seen in the price range, and comes from the brand that is known for its reliability. It has the traditional layout of a french-door refrigerator, but its back wall is metal instead of white plastic, and it sports modern straight edges on its adjustable shelves as well as door bins. It also has a full-width deli drawer and two half-width crisper drawers, each with an adjustable slide that can be adjusted to regulate humidity. Its freezer is more spacious than other freezers with a top-to-bottom design which helps you locate things at eye-level.
It's not as large as our top choice for a garage fridge but it's still spacious enough to keep most people nourished. It also has a lot of smart features you can control via an app, such as the TurboCool setting which cools the fridge quickly and assists with cleaning and defrosting. It has a separate compartment for the freezer, which can be set at an ad-hoc temperature from the rest of fridge.
This is a cheap model that has this feature. It's worth a look particularly if you plan to make use of the freezer for items such as wine bottles and party trays that will not fit on the main shelves. It's Energy Star certified and uses less energy than similar refrigerators. However, it does not have a retractable shelving system, so items that are taller like drinks and condiments need to be stored flat or in the door bins.
Side-by-Side Fridge Freezers
Side-by-side fridge freezers tend to offer more expert features than other models, such as an ice maker that can be used in two ways that can be used to crush and cube ice, a FreshFlow air filter that eliminates odors, and an water dispenser with a measured fill function that allows you to pour specific quantities such as 4 8 or 32 ounces. They also feature a sleeker and contemporary design that can be incorporated into cabinetry to give your kitchen a seamless design.
Depending on the model, you may also be able to control the fridge and freezer with your smartphone or tablet. You can set up the fridge to have a nighttime schedule. You can also do an intelligent diagnostic or create Economic Care+ patterns for energy efficiency, and many more. To benefit from the features, you'll need install the LG ThinQ App. It is also important to ensure that it's up-to-date before using it.
Upgrade to a fridge that has doors that open to the outside. These models can hold larger platters and drinks which makes them a great option for hosting. They are available in a variety of styles, from stainless steel to a classic black slate. Certain models feature a counter depth design which allows them to fit flush with the surrounding cabinetry.
If you are thinking about a side by side refrigerator freezer, take note that they aren't easy and costly to set up. They also consume more energy than other refrigerators. They might also not be able of storing large items and may have limited freezer storage space in comparison to bottom freezer models. You'll find the best deals on these fridges if you buy them during a major appliance sale or near holiday periods.
