I love this new format with the tier lists. So much easier to watch and easier to understand than any other appliance channel! keep it up guys!
Thanks You
Great video. I just got the LG LRYKC2606S. Absolutely love it. Great counter depth space, door in door and four types of ice.
Wow, this is like a personal consultation about counter depth refrigerators! Thank you! Your reviews are excellent because you address important issues and your experience with brands is so valuable. I really appreciate your channel! Yes do more of these rankings - top loading wash machines next maybe?
On the list
Like?… Love any format you are imparting valued information to us! Thank you so much for all that you do!…
Love our F&P counter-depth fridge- it's our 3rd time to buy due to move and renos. We love the simplicity and flexibility of the interior and no icemaker to leak or fail. I do wish we'd gone with a panel-ready model as the stainless on the doors is so fragile.
Love the new video format! We have a full depth Samsung 4 door with family hub. Our favorite feature is the self filling water pitcher. The family hub is a little goofy and our friends think its crazy that you can answer the front door from the fridge. I tell them that it does our taxes too and they dont know if they should beleive me or not, lol.
Informative video but disappointed you did cover the Bosch B36CT80SNS. Any thoughts about what you would have rated this?
Thanks
Low A or High B....Twin compressors, stainless back, etc....
Thanks for these reviews, I appreciate this and so many of your other videos! Yours is one of only a VERY FEW that offer honest, reliable and knowledgeable info. We're one of the gazillions burned by the Samsung ice maker catastrophe and are committed to replacing it this holiday sales season. I've learned along the way that virtually ALL internal door ice dispensers have the (potential) flaw of being in the refrigerator compartment as the fundamental issue, and unfortunately Samsung's designs were more set up for failure than others? Having said that, we don't want to get burned again, but the newer LG Max Counter-Depth models with the craft ice seems so appealing, but is limited (at least in our area) to those external ice dispenser models. Obviously no guarantees, and statistically they will have more service issues than models with only internal ice dispensers, BUT how do you think LG has managed the external ice dispenser in the refrigerator compartment issue? Is there's a superior design? Or are we just asking for the same problems? ("Fool me twice..." sort of thing)
First...thank you. LG is better than most, but sending a frozen cube through a refrigerator is problematic for all brands.
When discussing counter depth refrigerators, can you consider adding dimensions? I say this because counter death refrigerators tend to be wider, and may not fit in most spaces.
Digging the Frigidaire French Door Refrigerator PRFG2383AF. $2200 for 23.1 CF with a pro look. Thoughts and where are they made? Thx much
Do you review standard depth refrigerators?
Would help to have the REPAIR issues; i.e. GE is abysmal now that they are manufactured elsewhere with only outward style updates but NO updates on the actual compressors,etc.
excellent info! surprised to NOT see your ranking on Bosch though
Yeah...we blame Fran
4:28 The LG autodoor is what we need (well, need is a strong term, but still) on paneled refrigerators with no handles. I think only a few high end models have a regular push to open, but to my knowledge only Liebherr has the completely hands free opening on their newest paneled models that are not yet sold in USA. Oddly enough, also called autodoor. Unlike LG, they also fully open. Hopefully that type of tech makes it to more fridges and of other brands too.
Thanks for the rankings!
First off... Hands down the BEST appliance channel.
I've had the no frills LG Counterdepth Max for almost a year (I think I got one of the first to come out). I don't like visible dispensers in the door so its a great nearly built in look without the price tag. The freezer is great but mine doesn't have a craft ice option (sue me I'm a whiskey cocktail person). Regarding the size I know it says it's 26.5/27 cuft but IMHO it still doesn't fit as much as the 25yo Kenmore Elite it replaced (no idea what model or size). It's fine for 2 or 3 people, I think I would struggle in larger household size. Zero issues so far with reliability or with the water dispenser or ice maker, I did have to remove a half shelf to accommodate taller items like oj, milk and champagne. We will see how the single compressor and evaporator workout over time also no ethylene scrubber like Beko or other far more expensive brands. The one thing that absolutely drives me nuts is the doors tend to slam shut very hard and very easily and shake like crazy, maybe it could use better hinges. Overall it's amazing for the price point. I do wish all mfg would make it so you can swap handle styles. I'm not matchy-matchy but all my other kitchen appliances are the round tubular pro-style handles, LG is basic bow handles. It would be nice to have the option to buy a kit to change the handles. But it does it's job well at a low price point, I shouldn't nit pick.
I don’t think you’re loosing a lot by not having the craft ice. I believe it can one or two of those spherical ice balls per day which is not that useful. A 10$ ice tray can do better imo. One of my friends has such a lg model and the other day I was making fun of that saying it’s a fridge or a hen which lays 2 eggs everyday 😂
Could you review the Blue Star 36" W free standing refrigerator, please? Thank you!
Its made by Beko.....
does the fisher panel ready fridge work with poggenpohl handleless kitchen?
It doesnt push to open......Thermador does
Can you please also do a video on 36” integrated and built-ins?
Yes
why no bosch?
Why did you leave out Bosch? the 800 series fridges?
Because I totally spaced on it.....Like the fridge though
Hi - where can I find your rating scale? What does S vs A mean? Thanks!
Funny. I had the same reaction when they told me about the ratings. S is the best. Then A, B, C
What is your rank of style (french doors, side-by-sise, freezer at bottom, freezer at top, etc)?
Also, my understanding is you recommand to avoid counter-depth if possible, correct?
thanks
Really depends on how you store food...side by side is more organized while French door has better lateral storage
I was reading about the LG compressor lawsuit and that they continued to stick with the same part afterwards. Are you finding you have to replace these?
No....They have refined it.
@@YaleAppliance1 Thanks for dispelling my misconceptions!!
At Yale... Counter depth refrigerators dont offer as many configurations as regular systems, they are smaller, and they are more expense pper cubic foot. How do I know this? From your video in the link below
That all changed with the new Counter Max....
It doesn’t seem that the Fisher & Paykel fridge RF170ADJX4 is panel-ready - it’s just the stainless steel version, so the value is not as good.
10:20 🧐... Ayo That Was.. Krazy!! #SuperPause
Does GE have a counter max capacity
Not yet
In the interest of transparency can you tell us what margin you make as a retailer for the recommended fridges? I mean that would be helpful since I always see LG being recommended on these reviews- regardless of appliance.
That depends on when we sell it....We service what we sell and only make recommendations based on proven reliability of 34,000 service calls we perform yearly. They are clearly one of the most reliable appliance brands on the market....Thats fact, not opinion.
@@YaleAppliance1"That's fact". Yeah, that's why your videos are,"must watch".
Really looking forward to the video that was teased in the beginning regarding sub-zero style counter depth fridges. I recently bought a floor model from a retailer in NH and it was shipped to me completely uncovered and I watched the delivery guys destroy the thing right in front of me while they tried to deliver it, so I'm back on the market for a 48 inch wide fridge. I'm thinking either Sub-zero or Signature Kitchen Suite. Wondering if we have enough data to say for sure whether SKS has the same reliability as the LG-branded fridges.
Good question....we think, but hope so. Delivery is tough for larger units. We usually have three guys do em in the city.....
Where’s the Bosch 800 at?
Look at your electric bill....Your average dryer costs about $340 per year to run. See the payback as 1-3 years tops
Can you explain your S A B C rating. I failed to see that anywhere. What is S? I would have understood A B C D
Funny...I said the same thing. S is the best. I have no idea why.
But it's your video?@@YaleAppliance1
Why no Bosch?
Because I forgot even after double checking
No bosh ?
I know.....I messed that one up
where is bosch 800 series
Forgot...My bad. Love the two compressor set up, stainless back, filtration, strong B, Low A
with beverage fridge should be an A @@YaleAppliance1
I am so confused. How is 31 inches counter-depth?
Doors protrude in a counter depth...not the chassis
@@YaleAppliance1 I ended up having to order a Fisher and Paykel because there are extremely few real 24 inch counter-depth options. The F&P is 27 inches due to the doors. At the accepted definition of 31 for "counter-depth" it would stick out 8 inches.
In several of your previous videos you strongly state to NOT buy a Samsung or LG refrigerator. Which one is it??? Guess LG gave you guys a nice bonus check or incentive to promote their refrigerators. Really hurts your credibility. You should have at least addressed this because I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed this.
We don't take money from anyone...That said, when did we not say buy Samsung or LG? Their service is lamentable, but we service what we sell.
Speaking of which, we keep reliability stats. Based on 37,000+ service calls just last year, LG was the most reliable.
No LG's compressors are crap !!!
The issue is already fixed by LG....
Im with you. I don't understand how LG is ranked so high with all their compressor issues. They have never fixed the issue and are currently dealing with another lawsuit over it. Dealers must make a good margin on LG's to keep talking them up.
Totally understand. They were a problem back in 2014-2017 without question. But that was then. We have to do warranty service so we are dialed into issues and wouldnt sell the line with known issues.
Sorry, but I cannot even watch past your review and ranking of the LG refrigerator. Does LG class action lawsuit ring a bell? How many customers does LG / Kenmore need to screw over with their compressor issues before you pay attention! Then, you say nothing about the issue, and we know the linear compressors are the ones with the issue, which they use in counter depth models! Based on this alone, you should be giving it a huge fail... then you give it the best rating, because it has lots of space? Of course it does, because they've saved space from putting in a compressor that will last for more than two years!
It does ring a bell....and I am glad you brought it up. From 2014-2017, they had issues. That class action was settled in 2019.
Their compressors have improved at least from our service stats....But I can understand the concern.
The warranty is now 10 years on the compressor/5 are full parts and labor.
@@YaleAppliance1 LG/Kenmore told me they'd fix my fridge under warranty... then replaced the compressor with a compressor that sounded a bit like a mack truck under full load! Manufacturer warranties are only as good as the manufacturer... sorry, I think LG's is not worth the paper it is printed on. There are plenty of accounts of LG being sued regarding their current refrigerator lineup. I don't trust LG. To put LG at the top of your lineup, not even mentioning the issues and why you think this is no longer an issue... just doesn't look good!
@@YaleAppliance1 More consumers with more issues with LG Linear Compressors in 2024! The lawsuit claims that LG is perpetrating fraud, as they know the linear compressor is not up to the 10 year warranty claim. Note that LG refused to warranty my linear compressor with another. Not making consumers aware of this could look pretty bad. Here's a recent video on the very topic. I suggest making your viewers aware. ruclips.net/video/MhPAFpr-KGo/видео.html
Yup, u guys totally grenaded any equity by not even addressing it. I get u have a supplier relationship with the manufacturer but failure to bring caution to the matter goes against the purpose of these reviews.
No...I do address it and have skin in the game. We have 35 techs on the road addressing problems daily so I cant afford to sell unreliable appliances..Literally.
That said, the problems were 2014-2017 and they have been the least repaired since 2020.
Agree with folks who are upset you did not mention quality history of brands. This makes your video worthless at best, dangerous at worst. Your credibility is severely damaged. This is just a commercial on specs, not truly what is best or worth purchasing. I expect better from you.
Dangerous? We are one of a handful of companies that services what we sell and market accordingly. We dont sell knowingly unreliable products and carry less than 20.
Dangerous are the internet retailers selling 150 brands and supporting zero...BTW, here is a reliability ranking by service call. New one will be out within a month

@@YaleAppliance1 Sorry guys but you apparently did not understand my comment and those of other viewers that agree with my concern on this particular video. Viewers depend on experts like you to give us solid information. Not taking into consideration the years of issues that a brand has had is a concern as your viewers may be spending big money on products/brands that have a history of problems.IMHO buying the wrong brand with my hard earned money is dangerous. I know that you are a great dealer and that you sell and repair--which is rare. However, to have this many LG's on the top tiers of refrigerators given the challenges that have been reported over and over again from many technicians and consumers is a bit disconcerting. I watch all of your videos, and I really like them. This one felt a bit off.
We are talking about compressor issues from 2014-2017. New technology was the issue. But that technology is not new and has been refined. So I can't chirp like every other "reviewer" and talk about issues that are not documented by service calls.
