LG's Door-in-Door smart fridge is too gimmicky

2018-01-31
not all smart fridges have gigantic touchscreens case in point the LG lfx25991st 24.6 ink it up with your fridge and you'll be able to adjust settings check the filter status and even track the expiration dates of what you're storing inside I like the energy saving modes that automatically cut down on usage during off-hours and I like that the app will notify you if your kid leaves the door open an integration with the Google assistant lets you check the status of the fridge using voice commands which seems pretty ho-hum but it's there if you want it with almost 28 cubic feet of total storage space you should have more than enough room to feed the whole family out of this thing and the matte black finish does an outstanding job at repelling fingerprints - it's not an exciting design by any stretch but it is practical and modern looking and it includes the sort of baseline features that you'd expect from it like a slide-in shelf and a temperature adjustable pantry drawer now this won't come as a surprise if you're a regular fridge follower of mine but my biggest problem with this refrigerator is that door in door compartment a lot of folks really like the feature but the problem is that thin door in front and the extra seam both of those compromise performance just take a look at this heat map these are the average temperatures from a 72 hour test at the fridges default setting and as you can see the entire door and door compartment runs warm with orange hot spots up above 40 degrees Fahrenheit you've got a lot of options if this is the kind of refrigerator that you're looking for including models with better smarts more unique features and performance that isn't compromised by gimmicky door and door compartment my advice keep shopping you
