Whirlpool 25 Cu. Ft. 4-Door French Door Refrigerator vs LG 25 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator

Both are 25 cu. ft. standard-depth French door refrigerators, so the choice comes down to layout and ice. The Whirlpool is 36 inches wide with a refrigerated exterior drawer and the largest in-door ice capacity in its class at 3.7 lb, which suits families who go through a lot of ice and want a quick-access drawer. The LG is 33 inches wide, so it fits narrower openings, and adds InstaView Door-in-Door and a dual ice maker with Craft Ice. Owners rate the Whirlpool 4.2 out of 5 across about 1,000 ratings; LG's French door line carries a similar reputation for reliability, though its Door-in-Door and dual ice makers add parts that can fail.

• Choose the Whirlpool if your opening is 36 inches wide, you want a refrigerated drawer at chest height and the most in-door ice storage.
• Choose the LG if your opening is 33 inches wide, or you want InstaView Door-in-Door and dual ice makers with Craft Ice.
