LG InstaView Fridge. Great or gimmick?

[@NickeryNelson]

Please provide an update regarding your current insights. Have you had any problems? Would you recommend at this time?

[@TechnologyPaul]

Our fridge is still going strong, and I would definitely still recommend it. Now that we're starting to have more people over again, the knocking on the glass is definitely a crowd-pleaser too. TBH though, the light up glass is a novelty.

Nice features but still lacking cameras for remote viewing

I got this fridge a while back for my new home and I finally got my new home done and I put this fridge is and I’ve just had it for 2 days and I freaking love it and thank you for this video it was very helpful

@ it just does it randomly but I have a glass cup to catch if it falls But something has to be loose the longest I went without it pouring was about a week when I left to the Bahamas so idk what to say besides that everything else works great no problems with nothing else

[@QuackSecX]

I think the difference in price you are seeing is the higher priced model offers something called Craft Ice, which is essentially ice balls. That is the one I'm going to buy but I can see how people wouldn't need that feature at all.

[@lonnielynne2]

I love mine, but be prepared, it only makes 3 large or 6 smaller balls every 24 hours.😊

How has the fridge held up after a year? Any issues?

So far so good!

Do i need to have a water hose installed for the ice, i read somewhere its really a mess

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a perfect product. However, my experiences with LG products has been absolutely awesome. I have LG TVs, and previously owned LG washer and dryer. No issues whatsoever.

[@TechnologyPaul]

I agree there. I have never had any issues with LG. I know that’s not the case for everyone but I’ve had good luck.

[@carloslivinloud]

@@strong-tower agree I got a 86 inch lg tv and it worked perfect but sometimes the wifi doesn’t want to come on I have to turn it off and wait a minute then turn it back on and it works so wierd

[@bfortman9599]

Can you actually feel cold air blowing down out of the door cooling plus vents when you open the door?

[@milkshakemuncher]

I've just bought the current model of this fridge, which has the water and ice dispenser like yours, but where you have the ice bucket below, the newer fridge has another ice maker which makes spheres of ice, maybe 2 or 2.5 inches in diameter, it only makes 3 of them every 22 hours and can store 30 at any one time. It's crazy what fridges can do these days.

[@sergioorozco9044]

Hi, How is your fridge holding up?

[@milkshakemuncher]

Hi, yeah the fridge is going well as far as operating wise. The downside is the minimal options of shelf height spacing without compromising other shelf heights. None of the shelves can hold a 600ml water bottle standing up unless you move a shelf up or down which severely reduces the other shelf height to the point where you can only fit your hand in with not much room, so very narrow height. There is one 1/2 shelf you can slide back to stand talker things but then you also lose half the width of the shelf above. If they made the fridge 80mm taller and reduced freezer height by 100mm, they could give each shelf a bit over 60mm height each and that would make it much better versatility wise and you wouldn't notice the loss of freezer space. The freezer section is huge! I have to lay my Pepsi Max 600ml and water 600ml bottles on their side and stack them in layers, so it would be no good even for a bar fridge in the shed.

[@RondellKB]

​@@milkshakemuncherBut you can set the first freezer part to be another fridge right?

[@pablolopez6481]

I just bought that refrigerator today and I’m having trouble with it , the light don’t turn off and it does not cools down, any tips? Thanks 😊

Oof on that price. It's 1500 bucks at Costco right now and it comes with a free 400 dollar mini fridge lol. How has it been this past year?

[@strong-tower]

I'm in Huntsville, AL and I just bought a townhome that I'll be closing on in a couple of weeks. My realtor works for Crye-Leike Realty and they sent me an email to get appliances at a lower price if purchased through their program; they have a relationship with Lowe's. I already had an LG Fridge, washer and dryer on order from Lowe's but I sent my list to them to see if they could beat the sales price. Going through them would save me an additional $1500 so I cancelled my original order through Lowe's and asked them to give me another quote with the fridge in this video! No doubt it'll be much cheaper and I will definitely order it! Thanks for the great video! Also, I had an LG fridge with Instaview and door in door in my previous home and I loved it! Can't wait to hear my sister calling me bougie for ordering this!! Update: This is not the fridge I ordered. Go check out the LG STUDIO 24 cu. ft. Smart InstaView® Door-in-Door® Large Capacity Counter-Depth Refrigerator with Craft Ice™ Maker

[@TechnologyPaul]

ah yes the craft ice maker is the one thing i didn’t get. I wanted to but wasn’t sure it was worth the extra $$$.

How does the door water feature work. It says it fills large containers now.

[@lindaburton1114]

Hi Paul, the water in our LG French door fridge is no longer cold. Do you know how I can adjust the temp of the water and have cold water again? Thanks so much.

[@TechnologyPaul]

No idea. I'd try giving LG a call, I'm sure they can help you trouble shoot.

[@ardade123]

Its uncanny how similar your purchase of the LG and having a Samsung. I bought a Samsung when I purchased my new house and got the top of the line and I had the same issues, icing up and my wife and I just had enough of it even after the extended Home Depot warranty, we spent another $500 on a repair service, which by the way was hard to find anyone who wanted to touch a Samsung, referencing sealed system etc. We use a GE side by side in our garage for overflow etc, and we found ourselves loading up laundry baskets to move the food from the Samsung to it because the Samsung just gives out every few weeks. Everyone told us to stick to GE or Frigidaire, but they just don't offer the cool technology on their units, and perhaps for good reason. Jenn Air and Sub Zero were boring and just frankly out of our budget. I purchase the LG the other day, black one to match our kitchen decor and looking forward to getting it installed soon. We did go up a model or so with the waste pull out flex draw and craft ice but I really appreciate this video explaining all the other similar functionality. Thanks.

[@TechnologyPaul]

That sounds like a very similar experience. Our Samsung wasn't brand new, but my wife was definitely had enough of it too!

[@KittianToy]

does the fridge come with an initial air & water filter?

[@TechnologyPaul]

Yes it does!

[@tinkeroonie]

@@TechnologyPaul So glad to hear this! We just bought a similar model at Lowe's (has the cool see-thru door, but not door-in-door) and when you're checking out it tells you that you need to buy a filter. We didn't add one to our order, as we couldn't imagine a fridge not coming with the filters you need to use it properly. Should have had the fridge last Friday, but they screwed up the delivery and it won't be here for another three days.

Had all LG appliances for about 10 years and never had a problem with any of them. Have been debating on getting this fridge since it’s down to about $2300 at Home Depot. Wasn’t sure if the instaview has been worth having or is it worth skipping? Thanks for the review!

[@80bccaveman87]

Maybe it is great in the past. But not for now.. Korean brand are pretty bad for home appliances. They don't last long and always have issue.

[@RLDenham]

In my experience universally the opinion is if you have a fridge which works do not buy a new one for a gimmick;. Current refrigerators are not made to the level of quality which they were 10 years ago.

[@jackh3272]

I picked up this same fridge at Best Buy was a floor model brand new no issues n excellent condition and couldn’t beat the price. Prior to this I had a ge side by side no issues but the price was $870 outdoor w 3 year extended warranty, ss wTer line delivery n tax $1133. Plus this fridge is awesome that outside door is awesome. Haven’t tried craft ice yet.

[@trailheadmedia5578]

Discontinued, any idea which model replaced it?

[@trailheadmedia5578]

Just took delivery of the same model, still available at Costco @ $1799 and it came with a free 6 cu ft LG fridge as well. Heck of a deal on this fridge. Thanks for the video!

[@TheWhiskeyCove]

Just to let you know there was nothing wrong with your old fridge. Maintenance once a year looks like turning the fridge/freezer off for two hours to let it completely defrost and then the ice and water build up will stop.

[@jonathanbumstead1183]

Samsung fridges are pet trash at least from what our Samsung service guy said. We’re probably going with this fridge for our upcoming house.

[@timchang2493]

Me too. I regretted my Samsung POS French Door. I've had to learn icemaker repair -- as a backup career. I've never google so much repair KZbins as I did with Samsung fridge. I hope to dump that soon.

[@TheSquirrelMommy]

I've also been looking at a similar model of LG fridge... basically the same one you have, only the side-by-side model with the door in door in the upper right. However, in researching refrigerators, I came across a class action lawsuit against LG for the linear compressor, and several other product reviews that mention the fridge failing shortly after people received it, again, because of cooling issues. Were you aware of the lawsuit? I'm wondering how much, if anything, they changed about the compressor since the lawsuit. I see that you answered someone else's comment 4 months ago and said you are still liking your fridge, so that's awesome!

[@magnusoskarsson6519]

Hello I just bought one and I am really concerned as I know someone who has one and got troubles after 3 years and the law suite...I did contact LG to have more info and they told me that they did not change. After one year they just cover the compressor but not the installation. It can be really expensive so I think I ll cancel my order. I just look everywhere what people say and it is just all the same about the compressor. I just loved the fact that the children can have easy access. Love the look but...

[@MyPilot69]

Nice fridge and I wanted to buy it and the main reason was because of the cool looking glass door. The only problem is the light does not stay on and there is no option to keep it on! I think the LG product management team really made a mistake on this. There are very high end commercial looking refrigerators that have glass doors with lights what stay on and they look really cool. Also LG shows this door light feature in all of their marketing images, and it gives you the impression that the light would stay on. How could they miss this? Knocking on the door to get 30 seconds of light to see what beverages, you already know you have, is much less interesting than keeping the light on to give it a commercial refrigerator look especially for parties.

[@gplunk]

Don't forget the bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne to display in the door window!

[@strong-tower]

I never thought about that. It would be cool if the light could stay on.

[@SilviaGomez-pu6wd]

Thank You👍🏼

[@fredbarnes196]

With enough stuff in the fridge that you need to spend time inspecting the contents in advance to ensure a surgical extraction without the cooled air escaping, realize there isn't much cold air to escape in a full fridge in the first place. And if the fridge is bare, how much advance scouting do you need? Sounds like too many people in marketing.

I have had 2 Samsungs that did the same as yours (NOISEY) and 1 LG Linear Inverter that has lasted 10 yrs and counting. The Samsung fridge noise (LOUD) is due to the ice touching the fan and blocking the ducting. causing the noise and causing the inside to not cool, and also ht fridge running endlessly. The only good Samsung product I have ever bought is the NVME and SATA SSD drive for a computer. beyond that ... Say NO to Samsung!

Unless you like service calls STAY AWAY from ice in the door its the number one issue for techs. Making refrigerators a tech gadget has been one of the biggest reasons why you are lucky to get 5+ years out of a $3000+ unit. Sadly you have to pay $10000+ for a built in refrigerator if you want a fridge which will last 15+ years.
