LG GF-V708 / GF-D708 / GF-L708PL (708L, French Door)

Sleekly and well though of designed fridge that I fell in love when I saw its in-door Ice/Water dispenser system and literally changed our decision from buying a similar Samsung fridge to this. One of the biggest problems with fridges that dispense Ice/Water is that the dispenser compartment takes a lot of space and makes one side of the fridge door unusable. In this fridge however, LG placed the whole Ice Machine inside the door giving you back the door space you always need a lot.
The fact that there is no dedicated space for storing eggs is ...Read more

Having bought the Samsung 719L opponent, I wish we just bought this one first.

Cons
~ Freezer handles are rebated vertical, so debris can fall in it.
~ Doors are so heavy.
~ Angle of the fridge cannot be visually vertical when actual level.
~ Veggies Froze on first use.
~ Only has one front roller wheel, this is an issue and it has gouged marks on our timber floor - 2 wheels would overcome this.
~ Lock Button only locks the settings not the Water and Ice (really????....).
~ No Door alarm Hushing....Read more

I purchased the fridge in May this year and have had nothing but problems the fridge is a great looking fridge and has been a wow factor with all my friends and family. But unfortunately there has been alot if issues with it the first was that it arrived with a chip on the door then the fridge compartment draws was freezing all the fruit and vegetables. The water was not cooling and the ice maker has a foul tasting taste when it dissolves in the drink. We contacted LG a technician was sent and the freezing situation was rectified for only a w...Read more

I've had this fridge for just under a month now and am totally disappointed in it. The fridge has a ridiculously large lean to the rear which causes the doors to violently slam shut. It is so far off plumb its not funny. With any bottles or other items in the storage compartments in the doors it is even worse - especially on the left hand side where the ice maker resides which makes me wonder how long the ice maker will actually last.

This excessive lean is caused by an oversize white roller wheel under the unit which is centred and towards t...Read more

This is a great fridge with a massive freezer and plenty of space. There are a few minor issues that may drive some people nuts.
1. The left door slams if your not careful due to the ice and water maker in that door
2. You can’t open the right crisper draw without opening both doors.
3. The water filters are $50 each. You can not have a filter if this is too expensive.
4. It dints easily if have have kids who run their toys etc into it. Ours way dinted by the delivery driver but cause it was on the side we didn’t bother getting it looked at....Read more

I loved the look of this fridge at the retailers, liked the extra room inside due to the ice maker etc. all being mounted in the door unlike the Samsung that houses it in the fridge space. Loved the gimmic of the Instaview door ... but since the novelty wore off, I never use it.

The door in door is a brilliant idea & the light coming on when you open the outer door is a great feature. I find the fridge section not as roomy inside as I was expecting & think the bigger 910 litre version would have been better choice for my needs. The freezer se...Read more

We purchased this fridge as we have had LG fridges for the past 20 years and consider them still to be a great choice. Our new fridge was delivered with a faulty/broken wheel that meant it could not sit level. So they had to order us a new one which we received a week later. This one could not be levelled and the more they tried the more the doors were out of alignment. One of the doors jutted out so we were told that it would have to be replaced and it would take a month to get a new door. A month later they turned up with a new door but ...Read more

We bought this fridge as it was the biggest fridge we could get in the gap we have. The fridge functions well and the freeze size is very good. My frustration with this fridge however is that it was sold to us as finger print free. Its definitely not! Our fridge constantly looks messy with fingerprint marks all over it. There are recessed handles (as opposed to the common stainless steel pole handles) at the bottom of the fridge doors and on the tops of the freezer doors - but do you think I can get my teenage kids to use them!? What's more we...Read more

Purchased this fridge from the Good Guys (through their Ebay site). Had a 20% discount and a Cashback offer from LG at the time which took $1200 off the price. I don’t think I would have stretched the budget so high if I was paying full price. But it is an excellent fridge freezer.

In short, it’s massive, more than capable for our family of 3. Great freezer space and easy access to four large draws (two each side) and two shelves (one each side). Additional shelves in the doors are quite deep too. Impressive. A number of French Door fridges ...Read more

This fridge is AMAZING. Has so many features and so few flaws.
First the bad ;
1.Fridge arrived and after it was unpacked found a a "20 cent piece size" dirt mark on the interior fridge section. Took some work to remove it.
2. Poor workmanship on a panel on the back of the unit, doesn't sit right.
3. The left hand side vegetable draw hits the right hand side fridge door when you try to open it
4. Do not spill anything liquid in the fridge as it is impossible to clean under the glass and the plastic that holds it.
5. Even though all instructions were followed for the ice, the taste of the water filter still permeates and is very unpleasant to drink.

Good:
1. The lighting is FANTASTIC ...Read more
