LG's Diamond Collection fridge is a bit lackluster

2015-07-23
a fridge fans and seimetz right Chris here with another tea type model this is the LG diamond collection French four-door refrigerator model LP XS 308 6 6 d now this is a pretty eye catching high-end model it sells for $4,300 that kind of makes it a direct comparison to the samsung rfg237 23 pelling fingerprints and we found that to be the case when we tested it out it's also got the door and door feature that you see in a lot of high-end LG fridges and to open it you'll have press this button on the front here the panel opens up and you can access the indoor shelves without opening the entire fridge inside that door indoor compartment you get this easy lift bin that's kind of like an elevator shelf you can easily move up and down to make room for tall items that's really it some notable features though in the samsung model you can adjust the right half of the freezer and dial it up into fridge mode for extra fridge storage space you can't do that with this fridge and there's no temperature controlled drawer either like in other LG models this is a 30 cubic foot fridge very big but the fridge compartment actually is on the small side at sixteen point eight cubic feet so really you're paying for a bigger freezer and not a bigger fridge now you do get LG slim face plus ice system which helps with the storage somewhat I like that a lot it's this flat icemaker that's totally in the door there's nothing taking up space in the body of the fridge and it's easy to put things in that shelf there about the overhang of a normalised apartment makes less ice but it does save space as for performance the Diamond Collection fridge did pretty well kept a very nice consistent and accurate temperature in the body of the fridge but that right door the door indoor section ran a little bit warm in all of our tests we had a lot of orange in our heat maps there it's not terrible though the Samsung model had five orange hot spots this one has three and that top one there's a butter bin which is designed to be warm so really only two problem areas all in all though I think that this model and the Samsung model are both really clear design place aimed at consumers that want something really high-end in their kitchen that looks fancy and harass conservative performance or high-end features for my money I think I'd rather have the LGL mxs 307 8 6s that's a more traditional looking French tour but it gives you more space more features and is all-in-all a more complete package than this model it also retails for 600 less than this model so if I'm buying a fridge that's 3,500 or up I'm probably gonna go with that one for more check out the full review at cnet.com and filled your fridge questions my way on Twitter preceded appliances I'm right
