User feedback for the LG GS-N599PL is broadly positive in retailer reviews, especially for its spacious side-by-side layout and the non-plumbed cold water + cubed/crushed ice convenience. The main recurring drawbacks are occasional ice-maker reliability complaints and practical issues around its large size (plus some delivery/fit frustrations).
Pros
- Non-plumbed ice/water dispenser is a standout convenience: users call it "a godsend" and "a life changer," and several specifically like having cubed + crushed ice without needing plumbing. (appliancesonline.com.au)
- Spacious and easy to organize: owners praise the layout and storage, including comments like "Love how you can see everything inside as layout is perfect" and "far easier to organise than our previous fridge" (with mention of dual fruit/veg drawers). (thegoodguys.com.au)
- Generally strong satisfaction in retailer reviews (many 5-star ratings) with remarks such as "Awesome fridge" and "Best fridge Ever," often paired with positive notes on appearance and overall performance. (thegoodguys.com.au)
Cons
- Ice maker reliability complaints appear in some reviews: one user reported a "hard click" with the tray barely moving and called it "very poor reliability" for a premium-priced fridge. (harveynorman.co.nz)
- Size/fit and delivery logistics can be problematic: one buyer said it was "massive" and "wouldn't fit through my front door or back gate," and another warned the fridge is great but "delivery service was awful." (appliancesonline.com.au)
- Some concerns about durability of internal components: a low-rating review complained of "Poor design" where internal plastic/glass can crack when bumped. (harveynorman.co.nz)
