LG LRFD22850TT Refrigerator Review

Ahhh, the first refrigerator review for the Appliance Sensei. I’m starting to love this more and more. I was at my friend’s house and I started telling him about my quest to buy my mom a washing machine and he suggested I review his LG LRFD22850TT refrigerator. Of course I was thrilled at the idea so here is my review:

Product: LG LRFD22850TT Refrigerator
MSRP: $1600 - $1799

Positives
This refrigerator has so many positives its hard to choose where to begin. I’ll just start with the bottom. This is a freezer on bottom model and what a nifty freezer it is! The freezer drawer tilts at a 45 degree angle for easy access to everything you might fit into this spacious compartment, a very convenient feature indeed.

Moving upward, you’ll notice an external water and ice dispenser. This reduces energy consumption because you don’t have to open the refrigerator to get ice or water, and keeps water icy cold and ready to drink!

This refrigerator is also designed with digital temperature controls that make it easy to adjust the settings to your liking. (I personally like to keep the freezer as warm as possible and the refrigerator as cold as possible.) As you open the door to your refrigerator you’ll notice the crisper lid open automatically and the fruits and vegetables you keep inside particularly fresh. This is due to LG's Magic Crisper technology designed to humidity at optimum levels, keeping your fresh foods fresh, longer.

Negatives
The only negative for this refrigerator is price. This model retails, as LG refrigerators typically do, for $200 - $300 more than it should. I would only feel comfortable paying $1549 at the most for a model with these features.

Final Analysis
Once again, LG packaged a $1500 refrigerator in a really nice suit and sold it for more than its worth. However, if you’re the type of person who highly values style and design in your home this refrigerator is definitely worth the price tag as LG is on the cutting edge of home fashion. This refrigerator gets a 4.5 out of 5.
