LG LFXS28968S
What works
- Better temperature consistency in Consumer Reports testing — produce stays fresh longer
- Door-in-door design reduces cold-air loss for frequently accessed items
- Lower current service rate than Samsung French door refrigerators per Yale Appliance data
What doesn't

- ThinQ app is useful but some features require creating and maintaining an LG account
- LFXS28968S is a 2018-era model still in circulation — newer LG models have updated layouts

What works
- 21.5-inch Family Hub touchscreen with family calendar, interior cameras, and SmartThings hub
- Three interior cameras let you see inside the fridge from your phone while grocery shopping
- Samsung ecosystem integration is genuinely useful for Galaxy/SmartThings households
What doesn't
- Ice maker failure rate among the highest in French door category per Yale Appliance service data
