LG Refrigerators

Living Up to Their "Life's Good" Slogan

The line of LG Refrigerators has quite a history. Like GE, LG is a huge conglomerate corporation. Founded in 1947 in South Korea, it was originally called Lucky-Goldstar. You might remember a long list of home electronics with the Goldstar name such as clock radios and appliances. Lucky was the brand name LG used to sell many of their household products, but only in South Korea. In fact many South Koreans only associate the Lucky brand name with toothpaste!


The LG Refrigerator is actually made by the LG Electronics division of the LG Group as are all of the major appliances. Under the Goldstar brand name, the appliances were initially conceived as a discounted alternative to some of the major American brands like Whirlpool, Kenmore and Maytag. LG is still considered a "discount" brand in some people's eyes. But, in our reviews, we have to say that LG has come a long way in making their products more attractive and reliable, while at the same time, remaining relatively affordable.

(If you already know an LG is the right choice for you then click here for our LG refrigerator reviews or scroll to the bottom of this page to read what others have said about their LG refrigerators.)


The LG Refrigerator only comes as a Side by Side, a French Door or a Bottom Mount Freezer model. Unlike many of the other major brands, LG has chosen NOT to make a Top Freezer Mount refrigerator model here in the U.S. (we'll cover more of their top freezer models in our non-U.S. pages)


Many large companies often lose sight of the product lines that made them large in the first place. But we are happy to say that such is not the case with the LG Appliance line. In 1995 when the company changed their name from Lucky-Goldstar to LG, they not only rewrote the face of the brand, but the level of quality it represents. The Life's Good slogan is remniscent of GE's old Bringing Good Things to Life (which they dropped a few years back in favor of "GE: Imagination at Work"). LG has gone a long way toward making a great name for the South Korean made product lines.


LG makes a number of:

that we liked due to the numerous features and excess capacity not usually seen in refrigerators in this price range. Additionally, we liked LG's commitment to customer satisfaction and long term brand loyalty. Because LG has made numerous innovations in a number of other areas, they are able to apply that knowledge to the appliance realm.




The LG Refrigerator: Unique Features

LG has a number of unique features that they bring to each of their product lines and their major appliances are no different. Here are just a few of the features you might find on the typical LG Refrigerator:

  • The Multi-Air Flow System: You think this would be an obvious feature for most manufacturers, but it's truly not. LG has vents on every refrigerator shelf which prevents their refrigerators from having "hot spots" as it evenly disperses the cool air throughout all parts of the fridge. Constant temperature means longer lasting food and better freshness.

  • OptiBin Crispers: This feature locks a small amount of water in the top bin and releases it only when more humidity is required which helps to extend the life of your fruits and vegetables.

  • OptiChill Drawer: The OptiChill Drawers allow you precisely adjust the temperature to help you thaw or cool any type of food or produce.

  • Ice Beam Cooling: With seven additional cold air ducts, you get exceptional airflow and temperature management in the fresh food section of the Side by Side models.

  • Jet Freezing Drawer: Okay, this was definitely one of our favorite features. It's a drawer within the freezer section that allows you to freeze your food twice as fast which helps you lock in freshness. In the models we tested, this was an absolute favorite with our participants.


Energy Efficient

A vast majority of these refrigerators are Energy Star Certified. Which means that they run on 15% less energy than allowed by Federal Standards. In this time of environmental concern, we always recommend you consider the Energy Star models over those models that might consume more energy.

The money you save in energy savings and potential utility rebates might even help you pay for the fridge in the first place!

The LG Refrigerator line has some of the most affordable refrigerators yet they are typically loaded with innovative features that are less common in more well known brands such as GE, Amana and Whirlpool.

We've reviewed a number of these refrigerators and have provided our recommendations at the bottom of this page. If you've recently purchased a LG refrigerator, be sure to e-mail us your thoughts on the model you purchased!
