LG Side by Side Fridge Freezer Review

LG side by side fridge and freezer pair by side fridge freezers offer a stylish design and contemporary technology. They are big and provide a lot of storage space.

Double ice makers create standard and spherical Craft Ice, which melts more slowly to keep drinks cooler. Door Cooling+ keeps drinks fresher with blasts of cool air. And Cool Guard metal panels add a premium, pro-style look.

Features

The side-by-side refrigerator is perfect for families who need to have their frozen and fresh foods easily accessible. They have separate food storage areas, with shelving that extends across the entire width of the appliance. This allows you to reach items from a height that is easy to reach. Contrary to this, French door refrigerators may require you to bend down to access your freezer and food items.

LG refrigerators are equipped with a variety of convenient and innovative features to save you time and money in the kitchen. They include the InstaView Door-in-Door function that allows you to peek inside without opening the fridge and an auto door-open feature that opens the refrigerator's door when it detects you are nearby and a smart ThinQ Refrigerator application to manage your fridge from any place in the world.

Some models have a slim indoor ice maker that can be used without large units and frees up space in the top shelf. They also come with dual ice dispensers that offers both slow-melting Craft Ice and traditional cubed ice. Ice Plus is a setting which automatically generates three or six batches a day of specialized ice for those who don't want to manually add ice.

Aside from these handy innovations, LG refrigerators are designed to be durable and energy efficient. They are equipped with Door Cooling+ and Linear Cooling to ensure that the cold air stays evenly dispersed throughout the fridge and freezer. The Cool Guard metal panel helps maintain the temperature.

Design

You can satisfy your sanitized side, while also maintaining your style. Side-by-Side refrigerators have sleek flat panels that have discreet pocket handles that give a contemporary vibe to your kitchen.

The shelves and storage bins are at eye-level and run through the entire width of the refrigerator. This is different from French door refrigerators, which require you to bend over to reach the freezer.

Most models come with four shelves for the freezer and fridge, two produce crispers, butter keepers and door storage bins. Some models have gallon-sized storage drawers that are perfect for milk and other large containers.

The models with the LG InstaView Door-in-Door design feature a tinted glass panel one of the doors. This can be lit with just two knocks that allow you to browse the inside without opening the fridge, the cold air to escape. Professional reviews have noted this is a practical feature that saves time and energy.

The majority of models come with an Energy Star rating, meaning they use less power than other fridges similar to them and are more sustainable for the environment. Multiply the number of Kilowatt-hours (kWh) on the label for energy with the local electricity price to determine the annual operating cost of your fridge. You may want to compare the capacity of the fridge's litres with your requirements.

Capacity

As with any freezer fridge capacity, it is one of the most important factors when deciding on a model. The top side-by-side refrigerators provide up to 28 cubic feet of storage which is enough for the family of four. The majority of the space is devoted to fresh foods and includes 13 to 15 cubic feet of space in the fridge and 8 to 9 cubic feet in the freezer.

This LG refrigerator has an indoor, slim ice maker that can make cubes or crushed ice as needed and keeps extra in the freezer to make it easy to access. Its innovative design helps reduce energy consumption, while reducing the flow of the fridge to the outside when you open the doors. It also utilizes LG's Inverter Linear compressor to give you the best performance.

The interior of the refrigerator is divided into four glass shelves and a deli drawer. The top shelf is able to hold large bags of frozen vegetables. The lower shelf houses tall containers and bottles that are 2 litres in size and the deli drawer can hold cheese and lunch meat.

The LED lighting that is premium brightens every nook and cranny, while digital sensors respond quickly to temperature fluctuations. This fridge freezer is net-connected for easy monitoring and control via the SmartThinQ app, so you can set alarms if the door has been opened or if there is a fault developing.

Energy efficiency

A high energy efficiency rating is essential when buying a fridge freezer, and this model from LG gets an impressive grade of A+. This is thanks to a range of innovative technologies and head-turning design details that distinguish it from the crowd. The smaller door-indoor design reduces the airflow of cold air and stops warm kitchen air replacing it. This keeps food fresher longer and helps save on energy bills. The smart cooling system utilizes sensors that respond quickly to changes in temperature, and the multi-airflow system keeps humidity and temperature at their optimal levels.

The GSX961NSAZ also comes with many features for convenience, including the Moist Balance Crisper which increases the retention of moisture and increases freshness of both vegetables and fruits. The Fresh 0 Zone is an ideal location to store meats and fish, helping them last longer. Some LG models come with Smart Diagnosis feature, which allows call center representatives to diagnose issues remotely on your refrigerator without needing to visit your home.

This fridge freezer is covered by a 10-year warranty on the linear compressor. It provides peace of assurance. It's easy to use and comes with huge bins for drinks and food, as well as enough space for large bottles of wine, and 2-litre pop bottles.
