The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The LG LRFS28XBS is a 36-inch smart French door refrigerator aimed at buyers who want technology and capacity together. With WiFi connectivity and LG's ThinQ platform, you can monitor and adjust the fridge from a phone, while the PrintProof stainless-steel finish resists fingerprints and smudges on a busy kitchen door.
Storage is built around a roughly 27.7 cubic-foot interior with three doors, four shelves, and automatic defrost, so there's no manual upkeep. LG's Slim SpacePlus ice system moves ice making into the door, which preserves usable shelf room compared with a bulky in-cabinet ice maker, a real benefit when you're trying to fit tall items.
The caveat is the rating. At 3.7 across 9 reviews, owner feedback is more mixed than the spec sheet suggests, so this fridge fits buyers who value its feature set and large capacity but should go in with realistic expectations about consistency.

Performance notes
The roughly 27.7 cu ft French door layout suits family-scale shopping, with four shelves and a bottom freezer behind three doors. Automatic defrost removes any manual upkeep, and the Slim SpacePlus ice system keeps ice making in the door so interior shelves stay clear for tall bottles and platters. WiFi and ThinQ add remote temperature checks and alerts. At about 292 pounds on a 115-volt outlet, installation is a serious two-person job that should be planned around doorway and cabinet clearance.
What buyers say
Buyers are attracted to the large capacity, the smart WiFi controls, and the fingerprint-resistant finish. The cautionary note is the 3.7 average, which suggests some owners ran into reliability or performance issues, so the standout features come with a more uneven satisfaction record than LG's marketing implies.
