Author's Review
I'm going to run through the description and specifications and put in my thoughts and opinions throughout in parentheses.
24.7 Cu. Ft. (The label at the store may read 25 simply because companies round up! You need to watch for that)
Ice & Water Dispensing French Door Refrigerator (true)
Side by Side Fresh Food Section with Pull Drawer Bottom Freezer (true)
3 Clear gallon-size door bins, 1 small, and Dairy Corner
Wine Rack (all true except it's a wine sleeve-holds only one, not a wine rack)
Utility Bin with Egg Tray (not necessary to use the egg tray; I have heard it's better to keep eggs in their carton)
1 Full Width Wire Freezer basket (true AND speaking of freezers, the freezer door tilts back towards you so you can grab the baskets out of the freezer and clean them easier)
Contour Doors (some people don't like the box-like look, so LG created a more rounded off style)
Hidden Hinges (more height on stainless to cover the hinges)
Warranty: 1 Year Parts and Labor, 7 Years on the Sealed System (true and keep your original receipt for back up)
Eco Options approved product (correct)
Multi-Air Flow Cooling (as most models have this)
Upfront Digital Temperature Controls (again, most models have this)
2 OptiBin Humidity Crispers (there are two options to choose from: vegetable or fruit humidities- these bins help make your fruits and vegetables last a few days longer)
Automatic CustomCube Ice Maker (this fridge can make CRUSHED and CUBED)
IcePlus Function (this function is wonderful for when people entertain- when you press the IcePlus Function, this will stay on for 24 hours and kick out up to 2 lbs of ice-press the button again within the 24 hours to disengage so you don't create an over-flow of ice!)
Lo Decibel Quiet Operation (You will hear it when it turns on, but afterwards, you are good to go! Very quiet)
4 Slide-Out, Spill-Protector Tempered Glass Shelves (almost ALL models have spill protector shelves, but slide out shelves are awesome)
Assembled Depth In Inches : 34.25 In.
Assembled Height In Inches : 69.75
Assembled Weight In LBS : 344
Assembled Width In Inches : 35.75 (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 36" IN width for opening purposes)
Energy Star Compliant : True
Ice Maker : Yes
Ice/Water Dispenser : Yes
Refrigerator Capacity Cubic Feet: 25 Cu. Ft.
Shelf Material Type : Glass
Width In. : 35.75 In.
A few things to keep in mind when shopping for a fridge, check the front area to see if your glass will fit comfortably because you can not fit anything larger than a 12 oz. glass. NOW they are making angled fronts to help out this short glass situation. Another thing to keep in mind is keeping this stainless unit clean. There are MANY stainless cleaners on the market, but my favorite is simply the spray can that costs just under $5 but lasts an incredibly long time! You can buy it literally anywhere too. Do not get the wipes, or the all in one deal where it buffs and polishes. You will create MORE work for yourself unnecessarily! Overall, LOVE this fridge :-)
