Hello, welcome back to the channel. Today is a really big day in our house, probably the biggest day for the family. Here's a little sneak peek—this is a video about the LG Instaview American-style fridge freezer. But let me tell you how we got here first.
I never thought, when I was growing up, that I would ever own or use an American-style fridge freezer. And then, 8 years ago, the magic happened, and we did it—we got our first American-style fridge freezer. It was a momentous moment, really exciting. But then, after eight years, it went wrong. So this is what the fridge looks like on the inside. There's this little door that lets cold air into the fridge compartment from the freezer, and this door—I think it's called a damper—just stopped working. It iced up; we fixed it, but it just stopped working from time to time. So it was freezing our stuff.
It was a John Lewis branded fridge, but unfortunately, it’s made by Daewoo, and Daewoo decided to stop making fridges. We just could not find this part anywhere. It feels terrible that we can't fix a thing, but we tried for about a year, and I failed. So then we went on the hunt for a new American-style fridge freezer. I've got a whole playlist of videos where we've been just out in shops, staring at fridges.
There were some things we knew we wanted. I really wanted some handles, like our lovely fridge, and that's quite rare to find. And we also didn't want a drink dispenser or ice dispenser, partly because it takes up a lot of space in the freezer compartments, and partly because it's actually a bit useless, isn't it? Instead of just being able to get a glass of water, you have to wait for it to drip out at whatever speed the fridge pumps out. And we also thought the kids—and probably me—would be goofing around and feeding the dog directly from the dispenser. So we didn’t go for the dispenser, but we wanted a fridge that was a bit premium, with something special, but without the drinks dispenser.
Because the drinks dispenser is a feature they put on, it's really difficult to find a fridge with something special about it that doesn't do the ice and water. Well, behold—we did actually find one in the end, and this is how our fridge looked this morning. Very sorry state. We thanked it for its service, gave it a last clean out, but you know what? It's going to be so nice to not worry about all our food being frozen and thrown out.
So, behold! This is the LG Instaview. I'll put the actual model number on screen now. We’re heading for tea time, so you might hear some dinner time noises in the background, but this is the first evening of the LG in our house, and it is looking absolutely magnificent. But the best bit—the best bit—is this.
You ready?
You can actually see into the fridge without opening the door! I can't believe we managed to find a fridge with something special here and nothing special here. We really like this. It stands out a bit proud, and you’d think that American-style fridge freezers surely just have the same depth, but no, which is good because it probably means more space inside.
I think we need to adjust it so that it tilts—it's tilting to the back a bit, so that's not straight. You can see it's kind of flush at the back of the door, but it sticks out a bit here. I think we need to adjust the feet tonight, and that will give us about 5 cm push back. But we do like that it kind of stands out; it’s making its presence known. It's an LG.
Should we look inside? Let's look inside. So this fridge will never look like this ever again. Let's go for the freezer first. I do have a video where we see it in the store, but here are some first impressions. This is a first impressions unboxing, and, uh, the beeps, by the way, are the air fryer, not the fridge. You can see it's got really nice lighting up here, and because it stands forward, it doesn't whack the oven as well, so this is a huge, huge step forward for us. We’ve got one, two, three, four shelves and two bucket shelves—I don’t know what you call it; I was trying to think of the name there.
What's beautiful about this is that the shelves clear the door, and the Samsung fridges that we've seen do not do that. The second thing we love is they’ve got handles, so you can actually take these out—you can just take them all the way out for cleaning or for stuffing with frozen food. Let’s put that back in. And they glide on these glass shelves, which is a nice touch. There’s like a chrome look; I can't tell if it's metal or plastic. It feels like metal on the edges there, so that's fantastic.
It comes with a really measly ice dispenser, but it’s a little dinky ice tray. You probably heard it going “ding dong ding dong” to let us know that I left the door open. I should really let it cool down, but I really want to show you how it looked before we stuff it with food. And then we’ve got adjustable shelves, so this shelf could be on either of these prongs. But it comes with one, two, three, four shelves, and they’re really deep as well, really generous shelving there, so that’s going to hold a lot of stuff, I think.
So let's close that and... should we do the tap again? I can't wait to do this tap. Ready? Oh! So I'll take this label off now. It’s just to... it’s just to show you how it comes, and oo, it's obviously empty at the moment. We’re going to fill it up; I’ll see if I can put that on the video. But if you wanted to turn the light off, you can just tap it again. It's amazing—the quality of it feels really premium.
So we probably wanted something a bit darker, but I think it looks good. I think it looks nice, and it kind of goes with the ovens there. So let's give it another tap, and we'll take a look inside. Yeah, so I didn’t get my handles dream, but we do have grips under the middle of the door here, which is really good. I don’t like the reach to the side—it’s a silly thing, but I just... I love that you can just pull it or pull it. So there's no reach around.
And then behold, the ThinQ. The trays on here are huge, and you can get versions of this LG Instaview fridge freezer where this part of the door opens. I think there’s a catch under the door, but they haven’t provided it on this particular model. But I don’t think we need it; we just wanted to be able to see inside. And I reckon you could get a six-pint of milk there easily. We’ve got four pints now, and we’ve already started to fill it up with pasta and jars.
So you get one, two, three, four shelves, then over here we’ve got one, two, three, four shelves in the fridge. And oh, we really wanted—so this is on our wish list, we didn’t get—we really like the fridges with the brushed chrome back, so that looks like a sort of premium feature that most fridge manufacturers put. So this isn’t their top, top model, but it looks nice, and nice and bright as well.
LED lighting! Look... oh, should we do a... unboxing peel? Oh, this is going to be so satisfying. Here we... go. Aha! I'm so glad you’re here to... to enjoy this with us. We’ve got door cooling, so there’s a special feature here—I’ll put that on screen now—how the Door Cooling Plus works. Multi-air flow—I don’t know what that means.
And we’ve got a bottle rack or a wine rack, which is easily removable if you wanted the extra shelf space or... I’m getting a reminder... yes, fridge, honestly, we’ll close the door soon. You change the temperatures here, so the temperatures are displayed on the inside. How do we change it? Should I try pressing fridge? There you go—you just press the right button for what you want to change, so you just keep pressing fridge and take that down to four, and same with freezer.
Now I won’t do this now, but it has Wi-Fi. It has a Wi-Fi connection—apparently. I have no idea why I would want to talk to my fridge, but we’ll see. Express cool, express freeze if you need to do a fast freeze, and you can lock these controls by just holding this for 3 seconds... there we go. So now nobody can change the temperatures until you hold the lock down for 3 seconds. There we go, it's nice, perky, perky messages.
Down here we have the fresh balancer and the fresh zone. So the fresh balancer, you can adjust by switching that over. I think it changes the humidity inside, so there’s like a little air gap, I guess. I love how the drawers come out and don’t hit the door. So, Samsung, you might want to take that out of LG’s book. This is absolutely gorgeous. So we'll close that one, and... and the bottom one doesn’t quite clear the door, but it goes to about here. You just need to open the door a bit more to get full access to that veg rack.
We had that on the last fridge, where we couldn’t open it all the way because of the door, so it’s just a design of... of fridges, I guess. Interestingly, no fridge shelf at the bottom so that you get extra space in the veg zone or the fresh zone. I don’t know what else I can show you... cuz I'm starting... I’m going to need to close that.
I think... I think I am calling this a Dad Delivers success! So after about 3 months of looking, we have finally done it—we finally found the fridge freezer of our dreams. So I hope this mini tour, this unboxing, helps you choose your features and your brand and your model of American-style fridge freezer. We've got a whole playlist of our search—that’s on screen now.
