To be honest,  I did not want a side-by-side refrigerator.  It felt like I was going backwards technically. My previous LG was a bottom drawer freezer, three door model, and I really liked it. Getting a side-by-side gave me the mental picture of my mom in the seventies. However, I'm finding that I love it!! I can see everything in my freezer without digging (as I did in my bottom drawer model), and it makes it more convenient and quicker for me to put away and take out items in the fridge and freezer. I would give this refrigerator 5 stars stars if the ice maker was more robust. If there were more than two of us in this home it could not keep up with us . As it is, with two people living in hot Texas, drinking tea all day, we run out of ice pretty frequently. Yes, even when using the Ice Plus feature. Otherwise, it's a dream appliance. N
