IMPORTANT REVIEW - PLEASE READ

After much research, I decided to purchase this particular refrigerator. Like you, you may go through the next 100+ reviews and find that they are mixed -- so you wonder if this is the refrigerator for you. Let me state up front that most of these reviewers have NEVER READ THE MANUAL. Here, I will address the most common complaints: 1. Fingerprints on Stainless Steel: First and foremost almost everyone knows that this is going to happen with any make or model that has a Stainless Steel exterior - so this should come as an invalid complaint. Just clean with Stainless Steel cleaner and move on! 2. Water dripping - Read the manual where this is addressed: After installation, run 2 gallons of water through the system (about 3 cups at the time to minimize compressor heat) and this should eliminate dripping. If it continues, then the connection is not right. Also, manual clearly states to keep your cup under the dispenser for a full second. 3. The Ice Maker - Some have complained about a Crushed Ice/Cubed Ice mix -- again, addressed in the manual. One also needs to know that ice that is made in the first 24 hours should be discarded and that it takes a full 12 hours after installation for the first ice to appear. A couple of reviews complained that the ice is white and not clear (ridiculous - who cares?) -- again this is addressed in the manual. Lastly, about ice, it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to know to keep your cup under the dispenser until it's finished, or you will get ice on the floor. 4. Some claim their unit is quiet while others state noisy -- mine is very quiet. Noises that may come from inside (again, read your manual folks!#. To me, the only legitimate complaint would be scratches on the doors at the time of installation.
Several suggestions: 1. Go ahead and buy a water filter replacement now. 2. Purchase a Belkin Cube Surge Protector #less than $10# for your refrigerator. 3. I know it's hard to know upfront, but if you can move your shelves upward or downward #a nice feature of this refrig) at the time you are loading it, you'll be glad you did. -- I am very pleased with Best Buy's installation and they made the entire process from sale to delivery a pleasure.

What is the difference between Twin Cooling and Twin Cooling Plus?
I've noticed that recently introduced Samsung refrigerators feature Twin Cooling Plus as opposed to Twin Cooling in the older models. I would like to know how Twin Cooling Plus differs from Twin Cooling and why it might be better.
Twin Cooling means that there is one compressor controlling the refrigerator, while the other compressor is controlling the freezer. With Twin Cooling Plus, Samsung has added a 3 way valve for improved air flow synchronization between the refrigerator and the freezer.

What are the differences between this model and model RF263TEAESR featured at Lowe's?
Don't think there is any difference. However, I would suggest you buy at Best Buy -- if Lowe's price is less, then print off and Best Buy will match their price. Best Buy offers a Price Match -- so just keep checking on line, especially with the upcoming Labor Day sales.
