LG 442L Top Mount GT-442BPL (Platinum Silver)

Has exceeded my expectations! – Didn't think this fridge would fit my weekly shopping and was surprised at how deep it was. I am also really happy with how fresh my produce is kept now lasting a couple more days than in my previous fridge. Would definitely recommend it. Show details

Wish I never bought this fridge – Bought on 27/09/17, plastic fan in freezer compartment broke on august 2019, now after getting it fixed it’s broken again December 2020, have to wait 2 weeks for tech to look at it so I’m going to throw it out and never buy an LG fridge ever again nor will I recommend anyone to buy one, 3 years old and needs a 3rd fan, not to mention the inconvenience of not having a fridge for days on end because of waiting for technicians,  Show details

Excellet fridge - reduced my power bill by $160 per quarter – So happy with this 460Lt Top mount (freezer at top) fridge. I bouht this when QLD was incentivising upgrades to 4 star rating applicances. I am so glad I did... it took $160 off my power bill. The fridge itself is SUPER QUIET. I am really fussy about the intereior design of frigdes which is partly why I didn’t upgrade earlier, nothing was… Read more

as good interior wise as my old fridge.

Howver this one is quite nice.

What I like;

It has a pullout shelf at the very top.

it has plenty of room for tall items in the door.

The freezer design has plenty of room (some of them seemed smaller than this one)

What I think could be better:

There is only drawer for fruit and veges

The vege drawer doesn’t pull out far enough making it a bit difficult to get out heads of broccoli or cabbage.

The icemaker in the freezer is a bit flimsy and doesn’t work that well.

But for how quite it is the price and the difference it has made to my power consumption I am very satisfied.

So far, so good – I purchased this fridge last year because I felt my much smaller one which I had for almost 21 years was about to give up the ghost. I had a new kitchen put in a few years ago & had always wanted a s/s fridge but as I wanted to upgrade in size also they were out of my price range. Then I saw the this fridge & I was smitten! I luv the look - it's… Read more

very stylish & given it is quite a bit bigger than my previous I'm not seeing any significant increase in electricity usage. It is very quiet and I personally like the noise the door alarm makes compared to other fridges I've heard. Initially, I had a few problems with the crisper keeping things crisp but once the fridge had settled (couple of months) everything is fine. The fridge & freezer both keep good temps. The only drawback from my point of view is that the crisper does not pull out far enough, even if you have the door fully open & I often find myself having to push larger items (caulis & lettuce in particular) into the opening. Aside from that I honestly couldn't be happier with it.

A good functional fridge and it looks nice – I got this fridge about a month ago. On the whole, it's ben great. Food/drinks kept at temperature, the ice cube trays are really nice in the freezer... though the shape of the ice maker is a bit 'bulky'. The fridge runs really quiet and is easy to keep clean. It's a really nice looking fridge. Some things we have noticed - the inside light… Read more

is quite 'cool' and when you have a few things in the shelves it is easily blocked (it's not very bright in the fridge).

- I like to keep a water filter in the fridge, as this is bulky, the shelf spacing for the other shelves is quite tight - it would be the same if you wanted to stand bottles on the shelves, rather than on put them in the door.

- there is a large ?fan/vent on top of the fridge (which I was not aware of, being an online purchase), this prevents me from being able to sit the microwave or anything else on top of the fridge - which is a shame as I usually store things up there.

While that does some like a bit of a complaint list, these are minor things, and I would buy this fridge again. I quite like it. It does what it is supposed to do, I'm told it's good on energy, and it looks nice in my kitchen.

solid performer – I has been close to 2 years since I got this fridge and zero complaints so far. Maintains a constant temperature and runs pretty quite. Wish the egg trays were bigger and the fridge was lit from the sides. Show details

Highly recommended – Colour is graphite and the size is just right. Plenty of space and I don’t even have to turn the temperature up! I put mine in the lowest setting for the freezer and mid in the bottom and it cools the fridge and keeps the food fresh. Beeps when you accidentally leave the doors open or have kept it open for a while. It comes with a phone app and you can log in and control the fridge set up using your mobile phone. Great value for money!  Show details

Awesome Stylish Fridge – Love this beautiful stylish fridge. It made out whole kitchen look better the day it arrived. It is gorgeous and the finish isn't too bad for fingerprints. The lay out is so clever and the shelve are great. Perhaps the biggest improvement for us is having a freezer that actually freezes properly! It runs quite and I hope to have it for many years  Show details

LG FRIDGE IS NOT RELIABLE – I bought this fridge around August 2017. 2 months ago its door shelf is cracked although we used it gently. 1 month ago its leg support is cracked. I do not have enough time to buy a new fridge, and I do not want to use this fridge as a cracked door shelf preventing the door to close. LG provides a two-year warranty, and I need to pay around 100… Read more

dollars for replacing these parts. I do not recommend any LG product to people because of this experience.

Why would you make a weight bearing part out of plastic? – The levelling part under the hinge on the front of the fridge spontaneously gave way a few weeks back. Since then I've been in contact with LG. The first time they sent the wrong part. The second time they said they'd send the right part, then a few days later said they needed to send a technician. Today I waited, the technician came and now I… Read more

have to wait until they can get the part. So that'll be another day waiting around until they can fix the problem. What a waste of time for a fridge that is barely 18 months old!

Freezer seal – We too only bought our lg fridge in dec 2017 we also have the problem that when the fridge door closes the freezer pops open just slightly but enough to cause condensation in the freezer will be going to Good Guys and showing them your review, clearly a problem with the manufacture  Show details

good standard fridge and freezer – No bells or whistles. Good straight forward fridge that is sturdy and practical. freezer up top, makes ice. Well lit, seems very economical and has excellent energy rating. So much so that we got a $250 rebate from the government for it. Needed to fit a smallish space and has fitted the bill  Show details

Amazing! Colder than cold – This fridge is amazing! Let’s start with the look of the fridge, it’s a stainless look a like which makes it so stylish but yet so easy to clean with no fingerprints or streaks and if I’m going to be honest I never have to wipe mine as you just don’t see any marks. It’s a very quiet fridge I don’t notice it at all at night or during the day which… Read more

is another plus side!

Other than that it has ample space inside and could easy cater for a 4 person family!

The one thing that sold me about this fridge and makes me love it even more is it’s great energy rating 4 out of 6 stars and 334 KWh per year average. HUGE money saver!

Great space and quite affordable – Good temperature and very is easy to maintain and clean. Quiet and easy to use so overall a great refrigerator to buy when it comes to storage space, ease of access, noise reduced and low maintenance. Very easy to clean and all the compartments are quite strong and can carry a decent amount of weight in each storage section.  Show details

Great fridge – Really good quality for the price! Bought it a month ago for the new house, quiet and good temp throughout. Only small issue would be, the door side shelves are a little limited in sizing options, we usually have lots of juice and milk, tall sauce bottles but are unable to fit them all.  Show details

Very good unit – Had purchased the LG GT-442BPL in mid 2016, good price got it while it's on sale in good guys. Has not skipped a beat yet. Hopefully it'll last for more years to come. Fits perfectly in our fridge space in the kitchen. It beeps when you leave the door open for too long.  Show details

This is perfect – Everyone went to the store to look at LG product, because they like it, but the design is so pretty that I thought about it for a long time and chose the product which is not more practical than the design. Though I don't worry about it because it's 10 years ' warranty.  Show details

Nice fridge – Always love LG products, not only the customer service is good even the product itself always good quality, never have problem, freezer has the moveable ice tray so a plus. Fridge has one pull-out tray, about 2 other trays and one fresh box where you can control the humidity to control your fresh produce  Show details

reasonable price! good energy rating – love this LG fridge. we used to have one LG and one samsung fridge. The samsung stop working one day so i decided to bought a new one. LG is mine first perference as the other LG fridge is working perfectly. I bought this one as a clearance deal from harvey norman. it is in decent size with reasonable price！also good energy rating  Show details

A Good fridge for the price – Bought this 7 months ago and zero complaints so far. I has been running quiet all along and pretty easy to clean. A few minor stuff I wish were done better, the egg tray is pretty useless. It just holds 6 eggs. The twist to release often releases only some ice and wish the lighting inside the fridge was better. Not that it is any bad but I usually tend to push stuff towards the back and that blocks off the light pretty much.  Show details

Great fridge for reasonable price! – Good amount of space. Very satisfied with the quality for the price I paid. Only issue is really the ice compartment/maker which is really small and snapped off within a few times of use (which I have no real use for anyway). Doesn't use much power, and the reminder beeping for when the fridge/freezer is left open is a nice touch  Show details

Great fridge – Great fridge for the money. Good amount of space-time both fridgeband freezer. Egg traybwas useless and we ended up binning it after 1 day. Ice tray is also a bit tiny and as usual the 'twist to release'doesnt actually release any ice Other reviewers have said theirs can be a bit noisy but we don't notice ours at all - will see if this changes in the future  Show details

Great fridge for under $1000 – Bought this fridge because of the energy rating and the fact that it's cheap to run. It's a quiet fridge and it is incredibly easy to clean. It was incredibly hard finding a fridge which is under 1700mm and this was the one. I think it does a good job keeping things cool and the compartments feel quite even in temperature. Hard to say what it will be like 1 to 2 years from now but 1 month in and it's pretty good.  Show details

Struggles to stay cold in a single person household – I bought this fridge to upgrade from a bar fridge. My fridge has issues in particular with airflow as I have often had to throw out items like juices that ferment well before the use by date. Avoid and look at other fridges. The freezer compartment I haven't had issues with.  Show details

Excellent – Admittedly, we bought this because our fridge died and with three small kids, we needed something fast, and to fit into an odd sized hole. Thankfully, this has been an excellent fridge. The compressor isn't noisy, it keeps the compartments the right temperature and the seals are solid. If I had any complaints, I'm not a huge fan of the shelf… Read more

layout, the ice tray takes up an excessive amount of room and the door shelves could be more versatile, but overall, very happy.

Absolute rubbish – We have had problems with our fridge since day 1. Every time the door closes the freezer door pops open and stays open. No warning bells, so our freezer has defrosted time and time and time again - I don't think my kids know what shape a paddle pop is supposed to be as we have never had a solid one! A technician came and replaced the hinges on… Read more

the door once but the problem persists. Call centre was very unhelpful. If I had explosives, I would put them in this fridge and detonate them. It drives me flipping crazy.

Perfect fridge for my kitchen! – Purchased my LG fridge in december last year. It was the second time we got LG fridge and like always it has met its promise of being the best. The cooling is perfect, its quiet and very easy to clean and has a 4 star energy rating which means its low on my bills as well. all in all the best fridge ever !  Show details

Great fridge – We find our free she to be just lovely, maintains good temperature, it's very quiet and relatively easy to clean. It has good storage space and the chillers are designed nicely. The top freezer works really well and overall the fridge has a very practical layout. LG is most reliable as we have a number of their products- reasonably priced too.  Show details

Great fridge – Bought this as my old machine wasn’t working properly. This is a great simple fridge. It is large enough to fit everything I need. Good freezer space with movable ice tray. The bottom vegetable tray is also large and easy to clean. My old LG fridge had lots of places for food to get stuck. My only very tiny issue is that the door has to be open wide to fully open the vegetable tray.  Show details

my new fridge – happy with the fridge, but if I had another choice would go for upside down freezer next time,with fridge at top , find it difficult to bend down to look for things, compressor is quiet, find it easy to clean, happy with platinum colour, happy with shelving in the door  Show details

Really good fridge – Research and read a lot of reviews for a replacement fridge and settled on this LG GT-442BPL with stainless steel finish. The inverter compressor is whisper quiet you won't notice it's running, storage space in both fridge and freezer is quite roomy. The vegetable crisper is roomy too. The only negative comment about this fridge is the shelf on… Read more

the door is to low allowing only bottles no taller then 23cm to be placed on the bottom shelf, it's not possible to move the shelves up. A 1 litre bottle of milk just gets in.

Overall very happy with this fridge.

Unworkable fridge space – The freezer compartment does not always freeze quickly, unless it is set on coldest setting. I have found the cooling inside the fridge space is uneven, where items at the back will freeze, or part freeze. Without moving shelves, it is difficult to reach into the fridge, and I wish I had chosen an upside down freezer, where the fridge component… Read more

was at the top. Without opening the door all the way, you cannot utilise the crisper, which is an odd size and won't hold a family's fruit and vegetables. On the plus side this fridge is extremely quiet, the it uses less energy, having a 4 star rating. It is easy to clean with good quality plastic shelves, but not enough door shelving.

Very happy I have bought it – After researching many other brands and models I decided to buy the LG GT-442BPL. I like the large size freezer and also the quietness of the motor. It is cheap on power and that is important now days. It is also very easy to clean and the platinum type looks very nice. I don't regret the purchase  Show details

Love this fridge – This fridge is super quiet, really easy to clean, Has A lot of storage space. Can change a round compartments to suit everyone's needs. The motor runs when you open the door so your food stays cool. Has a alarm to let you know the door is open. Over all a great fridge.  Show details
