Product review (5 stars): Great looking, practical design, very quiet
We've only have this unit for about a month, so this is a preliminary review.

Our kitchen is about thirty years old, and was originally designed for a Sub Zero refrigerator that was built in and counter depth. It cost $4,000 30 years ago (more than $10,000 in today's dollars) and was the worst refrigerator we ever owned. It was noisy, an energy hog, poorly designed and needed repairs and adjustments frequently. The inside parts were always falling apart.

So about 11 years ago we replaced it with a GE Profile Artica side by side. They had just started making counter depth refrigerators that weren't built in, so with some minor cabinet work, it fit. This wasn't a good box either. It was noisy from the beginning. The design was poor so it couldn't fit many common foods. It needed seven expensive repairs in those eleven years. The through the door ice maker and water spigot never worked right. Ice froze up in the door, the flapper valve wouldn't close properly, and the ice maker would get jammed and break the plastic cork screw. From the beginning, the plastic parts, made out of a very brittle plastic,  cracked, split, or fell off. I used many tubes of epoxy trying to keep things together. (This seems to be a common complaint in reviews of all brands.)

So, with that background, here's why we like the LG so much. We were looking for a counter depth unit without through the door water or ice that looked good and was reliable. There's not a lot of choice. The LG is great looking. The inside is very well laid out. My wife is very happy with the drawer and shelf arrangement. It's extremely quiet, so much so it's difficult to tell if it's running. The led lighting is excellent. Overall, it appears to have better than average build quality. A few other reviewers complained about the door design. The doors on our unit work perfectly, smoothly and with little effort, practically closing themselves.

Will it be reliable? Only time will tell. The interior has lots of plastic parts that we will treat with kid gloves. The compressor has a ten year warrantee which we hope we won't need. But we are really happy with this LG so far.
