Fridge died after 2 years! Do not buy one!! – Bought this brand new to fit a narrow space and has worked fine for us, but after just over two years, it suddenly stopped cooling the fridge compartment and we lost a heap of food. There are online LG guides on things to check/try to get it to restart (so they know their products have these failures!) but nothing makes any difference. Waste of money! Show details

Lovely addition – This fridge is so quiet I literally had to take a look to see if it was going. You can’t hear a thing. I love the dark graphite would blend in with any kitchen I’m sure. Very roomy. Great look. I love it. Show details

My GT-279WDC fails to get freezer to -18c and fridge to 3c simultaneously – My Fisher & Paykel GT-279WDC fails to get freezer to -18c and fridge to 3c simultaneously. It is relatively cool in my flat(no heaters) and I always follow manufacturers instructions, etc. Show details

Top 3 worst fridge – 3. LG GT-279BPL CHOICE Expert Rating: 45% Response to outside temperature score: 8% 10-year running cost: $978 LG is usually quite a good fridge manufacturer, but this model definitely isn't one of its finest moments. It doesn't handle temperature changes well – and in fact it received the lowest score for this test of all three of these dud… Read more

fridges. And our experts rated it as just 'Borderline' for keeping food fresh for longer, so don't forget to add the cost of food waste to the $839 purchase price. Definitely one to avoid.

Perfect fridge for small family – We bought this fridge in 2018 when we moved to Adelaide. Perfect for small living space and small family. Was working good until week ago. No issues before but now making a constant noise. Not sure what was the reason. Show details

Good Fridge for a small Family – It's good fridge for the small family and since it's an inverter fridge the electricity consumption is less and it's very compact good fit for a small apartment less noisy and elegant since it's dark Graphite. The price is also very good which is cheaper compared to others in the market. The only downside is the freezer section which does not have a good ice tray as the freezer compartment is bit small. I recommend this product. Show details ·  1

Highly recommend this fridge! – This is a fantastic compact fridge that keeps your food cold, is vert quiet and looks great. It would be ideal for a single or couple and is perfect for apartment living where the fridge space maybe tight. You will not be disappointed with this fridge! Show reply

Great fridge – I bought this fridge and it’s great at keeping the temperature just right! The freezer is fast at freezing and it was a reasonable price. Very happy with my purchase. Show details

Perfect fridge, no complaints – Have this fridge for over two year now and it's still doing excellent. No fussy installation required, just plug in and switch on. Compartments are detachable for cleaning (except for the egg storage part, still can't figure out how to detach it and clean). No noise at all. Show details

Best fridge I have ever owned – I bought this fridge purely on the strength of other Product Review comments and it has not disappointed. This is by far the best fridge I have ever bought. It is almost tardis-like in terms of storage room, even though of course it has a set capacity. But the layout seems to provide a better storage solution than other small fridges. For example,… Read more

I can fit 12 to 13 frozen dinners in the freezer compartment and still have room for a loaf of bread in there as well. But the small footprint is a real asset for a small house like mine - it was very easy to move the fridge into the house and into position thanks to the slimline profile and it looks very stylish and unobtrusive once operating. The fridge is exceptionally quiet and I say that as someone who is very easily annoyed by noise. It can really only get a little intrusive if you have come home to a hot house in summer and even then it is not overtly loud (and it quietens down quickly again once the inside temperature of the house gets into the mid to low 20s). Perhaps my only real criticism of this fridge is the layout of the storage shelves on the inside of the door. The options are a little inflexible with little adjustment and this makes for wasted room. Perhaps not an issue for me personally but it might be if this fridge is used in a household with more than two people.

Very quiet fridge – I bought it for 3 people using. It look nice and energy efficient (4 stars). It is quiet and easy to use compared with my old Westinghouse fridge. It is really good with the price ~$600. I usually buy the Samsung fridge before, now realize that LG is a good brand as well.  Show details

Good little fridge – I bought it as my first fridge. Good size for one person. Temperature is good. I have a thermometer inside but obviously being a small fridge i dont put semi warm food inside. It quiet and easy to clean glass shelves. Krisper keeps my veggies good for ages. Happy with purchase. Going strong after travelling interstate after several months  Show details

LG fridge – It looks good and is smaller than my previous fridge. It looks nice and perfectly matches the rest of my kitchen. It's energy efficient which was my main reason for choosing this model. LG is a good brand. It is quite and easy to clean. For two people this is a perfect fridge.  Show details

Great value for money from this fridge – First thing you have to bear in mind is that, this is not a huge fridge. That said, It maintains a good temperature and well spaced. However, during operation it can get a bit noisy which can be heard if you do not have any other sounds running in the background. Very easy to clean and it's a bang for the buck  Show details

Not cold enough – This fridge wasn't working as well as my old beer fridge from the start. The fridge is hot at the front where the door seal connects with the fridge, We got the technician around. He says it measures 2 degrees C inside at a setting of 6 out of 7, which is normal (I don't think it is cold enough). I am reluctant to turn it up to 7/7 but may have to in order to have cold enough beer.  Show details

Great fridge, a little noisey – The looks and design of this fridge is great - all the shelves are really well spaced (I was even able to adjust the shelves so that I can stand up beer bottles at the bottom) and the LED light provides amazing lighting. The pull our drawer at the top is great and so far our veges are lasting a bit better. It's the perfect size 2 people. The only… Read more

thing is the compressor makes a very high pitched noise, that when there is no other noise, is quite distracting. Also, when the compressor clicks on it is quite loud.

Good small fridge – The freezer does fill up very quickly, but the fridge compartment holds a surprising amount. The fridge was the most energy efficient we could find for the price and it looks pretty sleek and inconspicuous. The only downside I can think of is that it seems to dent/mark quite easily.  Show details

great value for money – fridge works fine for 2 people. Was a little noisy but besides that, had absolutely no problems with it. Easy to clean, maintained good temperature and all parts and accessories were of good quality and easy to use. We upgraded to a bigger fridge because there wasn't enough room for fruit and veggies and we buy a lot of that. But this fridge was good value for money as we are uni students. did the job.  Show details

Very quiet and efficient – Very carefully and efficiently packed and very quiet - almost silent! I have only had it working for little more than 15 hours but I like its internal layout and performance. Customer service was outstanding.  Show details
