I read the reviews on this refrigerator and thought it sounded like a good one... I had wanted a French-style one for a long time and spent a significant amount of time researching my options. I purchased it in November of 2012.
The FIRST disappointing feature is the ice maker. There is no bucket or bin to collect the ice - all you get is what can fit in the distribution channel. Fill a small ice bucket? You are out of ice. Other reviewers did mention the fact that when the ice falls into the channel it makes a loud noise, and that is because it is never falling on other ice cubes - it always hits the hard plastic 'screw' that is used to move the ice through the dispenser. At least once a month, the 'mouth' of the dispenser gets clogged with ice cubes / bits and has to be cleared with the door open. (make sure you have someone else there to catch the ice bits as it clears!) And don't make the mistake of using the 'crushed' ice option - you will never get all whole ice cubes again.
The second disappointing feature? Poorly manufactured. Less than 3 years after purchasing this fridge, I am having to spend $500 to have the entire filter mechanism replaced. AND I had to call around to find a repair shop that will even work on Samsung's, because my regular appliance repairman doesn't work on Samsung because "the parts are hard to get."
If I were made of money I'd give this sucker away and replace it, but alas I am stuck with it now. I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend this fridge or any other Samsung appliance to my friends.
