Bought this fridge 4 months ago to replace a Whirlpool when the compressor failed after only 3 years.  This LG refrigerator is so much better in every way.  The automatic ice cube maker keeps the ice cube tray full all the time.  The in-door water dispenser has col water available right away, and it's angled nicely so that you can fill large containers.  The split shelves make it easy to arrange and fit all the things we put in the fridge.  And the fridge is very, very quiet; you barely hear a sound except for the few seconds when the ice cube maker drops ice cubes and refills with water.  And this LG fridge was actually less expensive than the Whirlpool model.  I wish I had gone with LG the first time/
