I am very pleased with the new LG refrigerator (LRTLS2403S) in the basement. Much more energy-efficient, and larger than the ancient one. Separate humidity controls for the 2 crisper drawers. Pocket handles (which are new to me) so nothing sticking out. More shelf adjustments and the shelves are "spill-proof". Which is only a 1/4" lip around them, but that helps.
There are deeper door shelves, a shelf in the freezer, and my temperature settings are more adjustable. Using 2 different thermometers (that agree with each other), I have the freezer set to 0 and the cooler set to 34 (F). I actually have "excess storage space"!
The ancient refrigerator got so bad it was creating a 2" block of ice beneath the freezer and I had to tap it off (carefully) with a small crowbar every couple of months, LOL!
In fact, with the freezer have a shelf, I am going to reverse my freezer habits. I've used the kitchen bottom freezer more small containers and the basement one for long-term storage of meat in larger (shoebox-sized) containers. Which was awkward, because all those small containers in the kitchen freezer wanted to fall over when I pulled out the freezer drawer.
The new refrigerator just has a freezer door at eye level and none of the containers have to move at all. And since I take out an individually bagged portion of meat out of a meat-specific container every day (I get too organized sometimes, LOL) and a small container of frozen leftovers only every few days, it makes more sense to have the larger containers in the more-awkward kitchen freezer. They don't fall over each other when I pull the drawer out.
I used to use the small-container leftovers more than the larger-container meat ones. But cooking habits change over time. So that should work out better.
And I'm glad I bought the new refrigerator when I did. Today (looking up the model number to post), I discovered the price went up $200! Sometimes, I get lucky. I am normally lucky about major things (and no complaints about that at all), but not so much all the minor ones. So "lucky" on a minor matter is a nice change.

Looks very similar to my LG which is now nearly 8 years old. One thing mine has that yours appears to not have is a deli drawer that does all the way across, not just a small one on the side.
Been very happy with mine and at 22 cu ft, the largest refrigerator I've ever bought and it is now pretty much filled!
