Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jun 12, 2007 9:30 pm Wondering if anyone has bought or has heard anything about the LG 3 door (french door) fridge. I'm specifically looking at the GR-B218NID.
I currently own a fridge with the freezer down the bottom but could use the extra width this one offers. I haven't heard any glowing reviews of the Fisher Paykel pidgeon pairs which is another choice. I like the Liebherr ones too for quality but we cannot afford one and I find the side-by-sides to be quite narrow. I have a chest freezer I can always use too for extra freezer capacity. Space not really an issue as designing new kitchen. Thanks. Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 2Jun 12, 2007 9:47 pm Personally wasn't a big fan of the pull out drawer mechanism. It seemed to not be deep enough...
You might like to consider this one: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The bottom 2 sections can be whatever you like..... If you need extra fridge space you make them both fridges (3 in total) or both freezers (3 in total) or one of each (2 fridges and 2 freezers)... Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 4Jun 12, 2007 10:04 pm I've just bought a double door LG approx 615 lt. - I'm finding the motor to be a bit noisy.

Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 8Jun 12, 2007 10:42 pm If you like the LG 3 door you will love the JENNAIR ones and in my opinion they are heaps better and a lot more solid. They are only sold at a lot of the "elite" appliance stores - in melb e+s trading etc Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 9Jun 12, 2007 10:45 pm mudtrilogy If you like the LG 3 door you will love the JENNAIR ones and in my opinion they are heaps better and a lot more solid.

Hows your house going.....and where have you BEEN???? Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 15Jun 13, 2007 2:25 pm Hi everyone,
Thanks for the great responses. Went and looked at a few today that are mentioned. I liked the Samsung one too but the fridge part is narrow and my budget can't quite stretch that far. I'm really looking at the wide fridges from the amount of times I've wanted to put in two trays of food when having a party or a large pav or something. Mine currently is 55cm wide internally which is annoying as you just can't fit anything else to the side with larger platters. I'm not really worried about water and ice. I was going to have an underbench water filter on my sink anyway and quite happy using my funky shaped ice cube trays from IKEA. I did take the advice about looking at the Jenn-Air ones. Very nice too and close to $4000.00 for basic models. I might even get away with one that looks like our Hoover one already the JCBJ-20 Upside-down. Have a nice warranty too which is enticing. Anyone had experience with Jenn-Air??? Will go and look at those even though they slightly push the budget. The other option is mixing and matching with the new Electrolux E-line ones I saw today or they also have a french door one like Fisher and Paykel and Jenn-Air's. Anyone bought these and can recommend them???? Jola Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 16Jun 13, 2007 2:47 pm One of my family members recently purchased one, at the time of purchasing no thoughts where given as to 'little kiddies' unfortunately due to the kids using the bottom doors as a step to get them into the top part of the fridge (when not looking) the door is slowly snapping........... Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 17Jun 13, 2007 4:25 pm I personally don't have one but my sister has. She has one of the fully intergrated ones but she is incredibly happy with the Jenn-air. My parents have a GE one but thats probably out of price range.
By the way Matt - the elite appliance comment was referring to the ELITE APPLIANCE STORES in canterbury and some where else. - Sorry When I workout how to go my money tree I will get either the one you were looking at but the really deep one (i think its approx 500 fridge) or the french door one. - Just need to get that tree growing ) Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 18Jun 13, 2007 9:02 pm I was fairly sold on the Jenn Air and then I read some complaints about the brand by U.S. customers. It seems customer service is terrible for the brand including Maytag though they seem to get practically no warranty there whereas here it is 5/10 year warranty.
Which companies have fridges as their main appliance that they have built their reputation on? Unfortunately Choice reviewed quite a few fridges recently but none of the more expensive brands other than Miele. Mind you we bought a Samsung TV based on a choice review and in warranty we needed the whole back of it replaced, something major went wrong with it. We have had many successes with their recommendations too mind. Jola Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 19Jun 14, 2007 1:32 pm Changed my mind again. Saw the Sharp 4 door one today which is very nice and only $3000 versus $4600 for the Jenn-Air french door. Anyone bought it at all as its been on the market a little while. Hadn't seen it before today.
Jola Re: Opinions on LG's 3 door fridge? 20Jun 14, 2007 2:02 pm I hear that Sharp and electrolux are the same fridge but the electrolux is cheaper... I had a similar issue with my fridge not too long ago. It wasn't the same model, but the symptoms were pretty much the same: the compressor would start and then stop… 3 8263 920 was enough to get the furniture in. We live in a pretty safe area and it’s great to see people walking to the front door. We’re not too fussed about people… 4 1878 Black on light wood does look good. Not sure if it will be as long lasting as a steel finish? 6 6464 |
