Refrigerator
Which Refrigerator is right for you?
Choosing the right refrigerator depends on your kitchen space, household size, and how you store food day to day.
While all refrigerators are designed to keep food fresh, differences in placement, capacity, door configuration, and features can affect organisation, accessibility, and how well the appliance fits into your kitchen.
This page compares the main refrigerator types—such as tall, Multi Door, and American style models—and highlights key factors to consider, including size, installation needs, water connection options, and storage flexibility, to help you decide which option best suits your lifestyle.
FAQ
What types of refrigerators are available?
When choosing a refrigerator, consider your available kitchen space, household size, storage needs, and how often you shop for groceries.
It’s also helpful to look at cooling performance, organisation features such as adjustable shelves or drawers, water and ice options, energy efficiency, and warranty coverage to ensure the appliance fits your lifestyle.
What refrigerator type is best for different household sizes?
The right size depends on how many people you cook for and how you store food.
As a general guide, tall refrigerators often suit 1–2 person households, while multi-door models may be more suitable for 3–4 people who need wider storage and more flexible organisation. American style refrigerators are often preferred by larger families or households that buy groceries in bulk.
What is the difference between plumbed and non-plumbed refrigerators?
The difference lies in how the refrigerator receives its water supply. A plumbed connects directly to a household water supply to operate water and ice dispensers automatically.
A non-plumbed model uses a refillable internal water tank, offering greater flexibility in placement without requiring a fixed water connection.
What colour should you choose?
Colour choice depends on your kitchen style and personal preference.
White models suit bright, classic kitchens, while stainless steel or silver finishes complement modern spaces. Black or darker finishes add bold contrast, and grey tones pair easily with contemporary cabinetry.
How does an American style refrigerator compare to a Multi Door refrigerator?
An American style refrigerator typically uses a side-by-side layout, offering large capacity with tall vertical compartments and easy access to both chilled and frozen food. A Multi Door refrigerator uses a French door design for the refrigerator section with multiple freezer drawers below, providing wider shelves, flexible organisation, and dedicated zones for different food types.
American style vs tall refrigerator – which should you choose?
Choose an American style refrigeratorif you have a large kitchen and need generous storage for family shopping, entertaining, or bulk groceries.
Choose a tall refrigerator if you want a space-efficient solution that fits neatly into standard kitchen layouts and supports everyday storage needs.
Multi Door refrigerator vs tall refrigerator – which should you choose?
An American style refrigerator typically uses a side-by-side layout, offering large capacity with tall vertical compartments and easy access to both chilled and frozen food.

How do non-plumbed refrigerators work?
Non-plumbed refrigerators include a built-in refillable water tank that supplies the door-mounted dispenser.
By keeping the tank topped up, you can enjoy chilled water without needing access to a fixed water line.
How do you change the temperature setting on a refrigerator?
Temperature settings can usually be adjusted using the control panel inside the refrigerator or on the door.
{For selected models, temperature settings can also be adjusted remotely using the LG ThinQ™ app.}
What should you check before buying a refrigerator?
Before choosing a refrigerator, it helps to review a few practical factors to make sure the appliance fits both your kitchen and your lifestyle.
• Kitchen space – Measure the available width, height, and depth, including door clearance and ventilation space.
• Household size – Smaller households may find tall refrigerators sufficient, while larger families often benefit from wider storage in multi-door or American style models.
• Storage organisation – Consider whether you prefer wider shelves, flexible compartments, or multiple freezer drawers.
• Installation requirements – Check whether the model requires a water connection for ice or water dispensers.
• Everyday usage – Think about how often you shop and whether you need larger capacity for bulk groceries or entertaining.
