We have this frig for over 6 months now. Oveall, like it very much, with some features could be better. It is hard to put in tall bottles or container on the shelves if you already use the space on the door. Also the Ice Maker takes too much space and I wish it is on the door like the LG unit.
We love the snack drawer and the divided storage in the doors. The ability to adjust the shelves in the main refrigerator compartment is great. The only draw back, which is common with bottom drawer freezers, is occasionally something will fall down behind the drawer, but a bent hanger functions as an effective retriever.
I have never owned a samsung before have always been a whirpool person but the fridge is great and worth every penny we paid for it. It came down on price so we bought it and it cost more then the other ones but it is a lot bigger and has all the extras bells and whistles. Love it!
I had done my research and checked out every fridge available out there, along with checking Consumer Reports. This is by far the most stylish and functional fridge available today. Love the interior lights, the two door shelves that fit gallon size containers, the middle drawer for easy access snacks/fruits, the external water and ice dispenser allow for taller size cups and the water dispenser really shoots out the water fast. Bought this for a new house and put the old side/side in the garage. I was going to go with another side/side because the deli trays in other fridges don't pull out all the way unless you have both doors open but the middle drawer solved that problem! I have received endless complements. Wish Samsung would make matching wine fridges.
I bought this fridge in April, 2011 and I absolutely love it. There are a few things I would change if I could, but none of them are deal breakers. The ice maker could stand to be a little bigger and I would like to be able to "lock" the sliding divider bars that's in the counter height drawer into place so it doesn't move. Other than these 2 issues, I love this refrigerator.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Replaced a 17 year old side by side which never allowed wider storage in either side, so I am thrilled with this 4 door beauty. We could not believe it was ON when installed and plugged in, due to no noise at all! Our old one announced itself every time it went on. The lighting system is magnificent, including automatic for the water/ice compartment. The LEDs are a designers delight!...and it seemed to cool efficently and quickly when installed. That was yesterday, so we are still acquainting ourselves with the storage possibilities. Wish I could figure out what the manual referred to as "dairy shelves"! The manual could be better organized, with recommendations for practical organization. (My old Whirlpool had many pages showing where and how to place foods. This tells me the Flex Drawer is good for pineapples <- ) ? I am using or buying extra organizing baskets to store things that belong together. Still trying to find same for the freezer, where I tend to lose things! As far as water dispenser leaking, I must have emptied 4 gallons 8 hours apart, and we have no more leaks. And the temperature of the water no longer hurts my eyeballs, as the old refrigerator did! It is cold and drinkable. No cubes on the floor, either! From this 20 pages of reviews, I have become more aware of how to use it, and what to watch for, and hope to enjoy it into our sunset (we are both mid 80's). Just thrilled with this new purchase, and thank you all for your input, which was frequently very instructive!
Pros: Bright display, wonderful space, excellent lighting, flex drawer!, nice design, white is easy to clean!
