The LG LRFLC2706S is a mid-range 36-inch counter-depth French door refrigerator. LG advertises a high storage capacity in this counter-depth fridge, a design called Counter-Depth MAX. The refrigerator has many height-adjustable storage options, including split shelves and deep door bins. There's an unobtrusive water dispenser in the fridge and an ice maker in the freezer. A vent at the top of the refrigerator blows cold air downward, a feature Samsung calls Door Cooling+, which cools the door bins first and the rest of the fridge from the front to the back.
We've tested over 35 refrigerators. We purchase ourselves each unit independently from major retailers, just like you, to keep our reviews free of brand influence. Each refrigerator undergoes the same tests to measure objective metrics such as temperature uniformity, ice making, produce preservation, parts availability, and actual storage capacity, so you can easily compare results.
Our Verdict
The LG LRFLC2706S is a decent option for everyday use. The refrigerator has excellent temperature uniformity in the main fridge compartment, ideal for milk or butter on any shelf. The freezer boasts outstanding temperature uniformity, thanks to the tight temperature control delivered by the inverter compressor. Frozen food will remain well frozen, and ice cream will stay consistently hard. The capacity in the fridge and freezer is good, especially considering this is a counter-depth fridge. Unfortunately, produce preservation is only passable, since the refrigerator gets quite dry, and the produce drawers don't retain humidity well, quickly leading to wilted lettuce and soft celery.
Remarkable temperature uniformity.
Good capacity, especially for a counter-depth design.
Multiple variable-height storage options for tall items like gallon milk jugs.
The LG LRFLC2706S delivers mediocre produce preservation performance. Its single evaporator for cooling leads to low humidity in the fridge. Since the produce drawer doesn't retain moisture very well, produce dries out, causing leafy greens to wilt, celery to go soft, and carrots to shrivel up fairly quickly.
Low fridge humidity due to a single evaporator.
Produce drawers don't retain moisture well.
The LG LRFLC2706S offers good refrigerator capacity, almost as much as a standard-depth fridge in a counter-depth design. It uses large door bins, an unobtrusive water dispenser in the fridge rather than a deep dispenser in the door, and an unusually tall, full-width deli drawer. There are also height-adjustable split shelves to accommodate tall items like bottles or gallon milk jugs.
Good capacity, especially for a counter-depth design.
Multiple variable-height storage options for tall items like gallon milk jugs.
The LG LRFLC2706S delivers good freezer capacity, especially considering its counter-depth design. The freezer has wide, tall, configurable spaces in the drawers for large family-sized boxes of burgers, lasagna trays, and pizza boxes. These areas are surprisingly deep for a counter-depth refrigerator, although they can't match a standard-depth design.
Good capacity, especially for a counter-depth design.
The LG LRFLC2706S delivers exceptional temperature uniformity. The refrigerator's even temperature creates good conditions for storing dairy, meat, fruit, and vegetables in almost every location. Freezer temperature uniformity is fantastic, thanks to the inverter compressor, which maintains tight temperature control as it cycles. Consistent freezer temperatures are great for storing frozen meats, fish, vegetables, and ice cream.
Excellent temperature uniformity in the refrigerator.
Outstanding temperature uniformity in the freezer.
The LG LRFLC2706S offers impressive ice-making performance. Daily ice production is good, so there should be enough ice for a mid-sized family dinner. The ice storage capacity is excellent; the ice tray can store a large amount of ice for a cocktail party with multiple hosts and guests.
Good ice making rate, enough for several people.
Amazing ice storage capacity, enough for a large event.

Popular Refrigerator Comparisons
Where the LG LRFLC2706S really excels for a counter-depth fridge is capacity. It has more usable space than most 36-inch counter-depth refrigerators, including the KitchenAid KRQC506MPS and the Bosch 800 Series B36CT80SNS. Its freezer is also quite capable, with more capacity and better temperature uniformity than the standard-depth GE Profile PVD28BYNFS. Unfortunately, its produce preservation performance is mediocre, significantly worse than that of the Bosch 500 Series B36FD52SNS.
The Samsung Bespoke RF24BB6600QL and LG LRFLC2706S each have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Samsung's dual-evaporator design results in noticeably better produce preservation performance, but the LG does a better job of maintaining uniform temperatures throughout the fridge and freezer cabinets. W
hile the Samsung lacks the LG's door-cooling vent, it's important to note that the latter feature only impacts the LG's right door, leaving the left door with as severe a door bin temperature offset as the Samsung. The two fridges offer similar refrigerator capacity, though the LG's fridge cabinet space is a little more flexible, with an additional pair of split shelves and slightly more vertical space for fitting taller items. The LG also has a much more capacious freezer.
The Hisense HRM260N6TSE is a somewhat better fridge than the similarly priced LG LRFLC2706S. The dual evaporator Hisense handily beats the single evaporator LG in produce preservation performance, as well as refrigerator capacity, since the Hisense is standard depth while the LG is counter depth. However, the LG matches the Hisense in freezer capacity, which is notable for a counter-depth freezer. The LG also offers better refrigerator temperature uniformity since it doesn't suffer from the Hisense's warm door bins, and it can make and store much more ice than the Hisense can.
The LG LRFLC2706S and Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF are both counter-depth 36" French-door refrigerators, but are worth considering for different reasons. The LG is the one you want if storage capacity is your main concern. Its Counter-Depth MAX design results in a lot more interior room within both the fridge and freezer, without any significant concessions to its exterior footprint. If you think you'll be making ice frequently, the LG is also the better option, with an in-freezer system that presents fewer failure points, all the while having a larger tray and a faster production rate. However, the Frigidaire is the better performer, with a dual-evaporator design that keeps produce fresher for longer. Parts supply is also generally more consistent for the Frigidaire, though both brands have authorized service networks with similar reach.
The LG LRFLC2706S and LG LF24Z6530S are both similarly-performing fridges, but the LRFLC2706S' simpler design gives it the edge in most ways. Its lack of an in-door ice maker increases fridge space and reduces mechanical complexity, and its more conventional cubed ice maker takes up less freezer space than the LF24Z6530S' bulky cubed ice maker, all the while offering a similar production rate and max yield.
