I have it myself Owners of LG-Brand Defrictors for the past 15 years. When I bought my first refrigerator from LG (the dictionary of life “life” “in 2011, the model of the French door was highly rated, and the combination of price and features were not included in other products. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought the second one, the same when I moved to try it seven years later. Which is why I was shocked when it stopped trying at the beginning of this year.
Sadly, he wasn’t wrong. Even a cursory internet search brings up reams of damning evidence of LG’s history of faulty line-of-suppressors. A class action lawsuit was settled in 2020 over LG compressors in refrigerators made between 2014 and 2017 (my second refrigerator, after this range, unfortunately had compressor problems and compressor malfunctions. Not a good look.
That means, LG sells hundreds of thousands of refrigerators a year LG makes one third of the applied market, behind only Openbrand Samsung. (In fact, Consumer Reports says that of all new refrigerators purchased since 2014, regardless of who bought them, 50 percent have had a problem.)
I decided to give another LG Shot by testing one of its new studio refrigerators, from the premium range, focusing on the late 2015. Studio Smart 3-Door French Door Refrigerator in my home kitchen for the past five months, when my family uses it like any other refrigerator. There’s no denying it looks great in person and in person, but how long will it last?

I settled directly on the studio test on LG’s Exence White, as I saw the innocent metal appear under the highest home that builds and sacrifices. (If you have any type of stainless steel application, you know that it is a magnet for fingerprints and stains.) There are always subzers that do not have islands, except for this one, from the retro-inspired designs, except for the Retro-inspired Brandis such as Smeg and Big Chill. And in fact, the trend is towards a simple forest and colorful cabinets that pave the way for today’s version of White, softer than the tone of the center of the ’80s and ’90.
“Essence White is not a traditional white,” explains Dean Brindle, LG’s head of product management. “It’s not the blue-white you traditionally see in white things. It’s a warm white, a little yellow.”
Indeed, I can see it – Essence White Studio is matte, almost illuminated, with sharp edges and strange copper elements. It wouldn’t look out of place among European establishments such as La Cornue or Bertazzoni. I’m getting into it. I’ve read complaints that the hardware looks gold in promotional photos online but it’s actually rose gold-ish, and this is true – the color is not what it appears in the photos. It certainly won’t be a direct match with the gold hardware elsewhere in the kitchen. Brindle said the unusual tone of the hardware was deliberately matched to the fridge.
