Our Verdict

LG LF30S8210S

LG LF29H8330S

The LG LF30S8210S and LG LF29H8330S are both similarly designed and priced French-door refrigerators, but ultimately, the LG LF30S8210S is the smarter buy. The LF30S8210S doesn't have the LF29H8330S's in-fridge water and ice dispenser, resulting in more fridge space and, more importantly, eliminating a costly potential failure point.
