LG’s current lineup leans hard into the latest features. New food-care tech options include multi-zone cooling, door-edge vents, convertible drawers. This is not to mention the latest in quiet compressors, clever ice options, and thoughtfully organized interiors. Below are five LG models/series to understand so you can match size, layout, and features to you. Let’s take a look at the options.
InstaView French-Door with Door-in-Door and Craft Ice
This is the signature LG experience: rap twice on the dark glass to light the contents without opening the door, then swing open the Door-in-Door panel to grab drinks and condiments while keeping the main cavity sealed. Inside, separate cooling for fridge and freezer, metal-panel “backstops” that help temps recover quickly, and options like Dual Ice (crescents plus slow-melt Craft Ice spheres) keep groceries fresher and entertaining easier. You’ll find both standard-depth (high-20s cu. ft.) and counter-depth (low-20s cu. ft.) versions, with internal or external water/ice and a full-width pantry drawer for trays and party platters.

Counter-Depth MAX French-Door
If you want the built-in look without sacrificing too much space, LG’s Counter-Depth MAX designs use thinner-wall insulation and smart shelf geometry to carve out surprisingly generous capacity for a 24-ish-inch-deep cabinet. Expect the brand’s Door Cooling+ vents that wash cold air across door bins after openings, full-width deli/snack drawers, and quiet, efficient compressors. Many models add an internal water dispenser to keep the exterior clean and Dual Ice in the freezer for parties. Counter-depth can cost a bit more than full-depth and gives up a few cubic feet, but the flush fit is hard to beat in tight kitchens. (MAX)
4-Door French-Door with Full-Convert Middle Drawer
For households that swing between “weeknight family mode” and “weekend entertaining,” the convertible middle drawer is a winner. LG’s Full-Convert drawer shifts through multiple temperature presets—think chilled beverages, deli/cheese, soft-freezing for ice cream, or extra fridge space during holidays. The main fresh-food section gets multi-airflow cooling and humidity-controlled crispers for produce, while the freezer below remains a true deep-freeze with wide sliding bins. Choose counter-depth for a flush look or standard-depth for maximum volume; both keep everyday items at kid-friendly height and heavier frozen goods low. (4-Door)
InstaView Side-by-Side
If your kitchen favors wide, uninterrupted shelving and you love quick door access to everything, LG’s side-by-side lineup deserves a look. InstaView appears here too, letting you light up the fresh-food side without opening; Slim SpacePlus ice keeps the door bin space usable while still feeding the external dispenser. Side-by-sides cool predictably (less warm-air spill when you open one narrow door) and make it easy to sort frozen foods on tall shelves instead of digging in a drawer. The trade-off is narrower compartments for pizza boxes and sheet pans—measure your go-to items before you buy. (Side-By-Side)
Top-Freezer Fridge with Multi-Air Flow
Sometimes simple is best. LG’s top-freezers deliver quiet operation, efficient Multi-Air Flow cooling, and reversible doors in widths that fit apartments, basements, ADUs, or secondary kitchens. You still get humidity-controlled crispers and bright LED lighting, and many models add an optional icemaker. Capacity typically ranges around 20 cu. ft. in a 30-inch width, with smaller options for tighter spaces. You won’t find convertible drawers or glass-knock panels, but you will get dependable temperature control, easy maintenance, and a price that’s friendly to remodel budgets. (Top Freezer)
How to pick
Start with fit: confirm width, depth, hinge clearance, and island interference, then decide if counter-depth’s flush look outweighs the extra capacity of standard-depth. Next, choose your layout based on what you store: French-door for trays and platters, side-by-side for eye-level frozen organization, top-freezer for simplicity. Finally, match features to habits: InstaView and Door-in-Door help frequent grazers save cold air; Full-Convert drawers adapt to seasons and parties; Dual Ice or Craft Ice matter if you entertain; internal dispensers keep the exterior clean in minimalist kitchens.
