About - LG LFX25974[ST]
The LG LFX25974[ST] is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, bottom freezer refrigerator models like the LFX25974[ST] 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 LFX25974[ST]
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Claimed capacity is the manufacturer's estimate of the volume, in cubic feet, of interior space. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	24.7
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	Yes
Water dispenser It is normally located in the fresh food compartment. Water dispenser	External
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 love this refrigerator. We replaced our Kenmore side by side and I wasn't sure I would like the bottom freezer drawer but I love it. The ice maker in the door is great, makes plenty of ice and very quickly. Adjustable shelves provide plenty of space for all size items and large door compartments add to the convenience. Great appliance!

More than six months

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

So far so good. It cooled very quickly. It holds a good temperature that is consistent with the digital reading on the display. It has the small ice cubes I like and it crushes ice like its nothing. Excellent frig. I dont have any problem with the taste of the ice or water. It is well built. Filter takes up a litle bit of room in the top left corner but no problem. I love my LG. Semper Fi

Comment:

I purchase this unit to replace an aging side-by-side Kenmore. At sixteen years it was just getting tired.<br />Although I flushed the water lines and dumped the cubes numerous times the ice (water was fine) had a fungal/plastic like smell, The cubes had a plastic like taste and there was unexplained white debris floating on top and in the bottom of a glass from the cubes. I stopped using the ice completely; found that LG technical support was quick to blame lack of water usage as the problem although that was not the case. On the suggestion of the repairman I contacted dealer and returned unit for a different manufacturer.<br /><br />The best product is no good if the manufacturer won't stand behind a problem.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
