OP here.

Still favoring LG over Samsung because of internet reviews. Looked at both today. Seems like the LG ice maker design makes small rectangular cubes (oh wait, isn't that the definition of a cube) instead of semicircles like our current GE side-by-side.

So, do the LG owners out there like the cubes that the frig makes?

I'm still looking too. I do love that door in door fridge. Have you seen it yet?

We're not to keen on the door in a door feature.

Our son works for Sears and a told us a french door refrigerator with the ice maker in the door has the most service calls. Constant problems.

Not looking for a fridge, our whirlpool has been a work horse up north for 13 years. But have to ask. I hate the smell and taste of our water in TV, so water in the door would be out for us.

I have an LG Door in a door model and love it. I keep the things I use every day there, like Crystal Light, coffee creamer, soda, mayo, mustard, ketchup, yada yada I find I do not have to open the main fridge but once a day. I also keep the things I use frequently in the right side of the main fridge, so when I do open the major unit, I am only opening a small area. This is where I keep some lunchmeat, milk, lettuce. Had one problem with it, and had to fight with LG to fix it. I called Broward Factory Service and they fixed it immediately. So much for LG service!

Any issues with the ice cubes themselves?

Ice cubes are fine but the storage capacity is rather small. Plan ahead before a party and dump them in the freezer storage area.

Our LG made three different sizes of ice cubes (this was 2007). Ice cubes were fine (semi-circular), but the ice maker broke. And storage capacity was minimal.

Personally, I really like the smaller cubes. Just a matter of preference. When I have a party I bag up ice ahead of time and put it in the bin or just buy a bag.
