Type: Conventional bottom-freezer refrigerators

About - LG LDC22720[SW]
The LG LDC22720[SW] is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, bottom freezer refrigerator models like the LDC22720[SW] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Temperature performance: This combines results of tests measuring the accuracy of initial temperature settings along with how well a model 1) kept optimum temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer at the same time; 2) kept temperatures even throughout each compartment; 3) kept temperatures constant despite changes in room temperatures; and 4) maintained set temperatures even with very high room temperatures. Energy efficiency: This reflects electricity consumption (based on our tests) per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two models with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient. Noise: Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Features & Specs - LG LDC22720[SW]
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Claimed capacity is the manufacturer's estimate of the volume, in cubic feet, of interior space. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	22.4
Cabinet-depth model Cabinet-depth models usually measure 27 to 28 inches deep, not quite flush with the cabinets, but at least three inches shallower than many standard 36-inch-wide models. You can get models with stainless exteriors or panel kits. Cabinet-depth model	No
French-door style French door models are bottom-freezer refrigerators whose upper compartments have two narrow doors that open similarly to the doors of a side-by-side refrigerator. These narrower doors use less space in front of the refrigerator when opened, and allow access to either or both sides of the full-width fresh-food compartment. Typically more expensive, French-door models are usually 36 inches wide, though some newer models are 33 inches wide. French-door style	No
Water dispenser It is normally located in the fresh food compartment. Water dispenser	No
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	Yes

Comment:

I bought this refidge about a year and half ago.I have had nothing but problems with it.The freezer keeps building ice frost all over the condenser and then the whole unit won't work.It is very,very noisy and when i called their customer service line they told me that the noise was normal I said WHAT,I have had Kenmore refridges in the past and never had these kind of problems.This refidge is junk and i will never buy a LG brand again.

Comment:

Simply stated - this is a piece of cheaply designed, ergonomically faulty JUNK! The ice maker has never worked properly; water leaks and unless ice is used immediately, ice cubes freeze together in one giant cube. Cleaning the ice maker solves the issue for a week or so. The ice cube tray full level always gets jammed on the tray. I will NEVER BUY LG AGAIN. 18 months later, warranty expired, service rude and already time to replace this piece of junk. Definitely not to American standards. Perfect for the Third World.

Comment:

I like most things about it, except when someone doesn't close the freezer all the way, it builds up so much water (under the drawer in the back) that freezes and then that ice blocks you from closing it all the way and the ice gets bigger and you really can't close it... There is a very discreet little beep when it isn't closed all the way, but maybe it needs to be louder!<br />I remember the days when people had fridges for 20 years. I don't expect that to happen, despite the prices...
