An Economical Alternative to Oprah's Favorite LG Refrigerator

The LG HDTV Refrigerator (Model LSC27991) dazzled the Macon audience of Oprah's 'Favorite Things 2007' episode. With all the bells and whistles and a price tag of almost $4000, it's little wonder Oprah's audience was impressed. Advertised as the most expensive gift ever featured on 'Favorite Things', Oprah introduced the product saying, "When I saw this, I knew it was a show stopper!"

Perhaps you'd like to upgrade to one of those fabulous LG appliances but you don't have $4,000 to spend on a refrigerator. There is another great option: the LG Side by Side Refrigerator (Model LSC26905). If you can live without the HDTV and Weather and Info Center, the LSC26905 retails for a little over $1000, and you still get a lot at a quarter of the price.

Contemporary Styling of the LG Side by Side Refrigerator

The Titanium finish on the LG LSC26905TT gives the refrigerator the look of brushed stainless steel while minimizing finger prints. It's digital panel and arched tubular handles give it a contemporary look. Esthetically, the only disadvantage lies in its dimensions. Transitioning from a GE Profile refrigerator, I had grown accustomed to a refrigerator that sat almost flush with kitchen cabinetry. LG does offer counter depth refrigerators, but basic models will retail for twice as much as the LSC26905. We opted to pay less for more interior space.

Storage Space in the LG Side by Side Refrigerator

The storage space within the LSC26905 is pretty standard, with movable shelves, two crispers and snack bin. However, there are two upgrades over my old side by side refrigerator: 1) the three gallon door bins that will hold 2-liter bottles, pitchers, and gallon milk jugs 2) and the storage plus shelf above the ice bin in the freezer-the perfect place to tuck a gallon of ice cream.
