    High-end look, efficient and quiet!

    Custom look, Low-budget price, Smart Wifi integration, amazing overall. I was willing to spend a few thousand on a fridge for my new home but I wanted side-by-side to keep maximum room in the walkway. I liked this better than any product under $5000 and it works perfectly. The super-clean front looks like a high-end install and it's quiet and efficient. I don't even want an ice-maker so I didn't connect it— makes it even quieter and more reliable for me.

    Samsung Refrigerator

    Love this refrigerator!! Using it as an overflow fridge in our laundry room. Super clean look with no handles and tons of room on inside. Exactly what we needed. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!

    Samsung Side by Side

    Love that fridge is Counter Depth. I love the smudge resistant stainless finish. I love the accessible and ample freezer and refrigerator space. I love no handle design. This product has exceeded my expectations. Also came with 10 year warranty on motor. Good price overall.

    Not so great

    Attractive and streamlined. Simple design for small space. But- Honestly, really cheap interior. Every time I open a drawer to get veggies or the ice bucket I feel like the plastic will break-low quality materials. Also the fridge is at 37 but my carrots in the veggie drawer froze. The worst part of this fridge is the taste of the ice- the filter for the water must not be good- it’s ok when. The ice is frozen but if it melts it makes your drink taste bad.

Questions & Answers
  • Does the Ice Maker have to be installed?

    Hi Frankie514! The ice maker on this model is actually built in to the frame of the refrigerator and only the ice bucket can be removed. However, if you do not wish to use the ice maker, you can turn it off using the ice maker button on the control panel. ^Jecca

  • For the regular stainless steel option does this have the fingerprint plastic covering? I don't want the coating as it looks not great when it gets scratched then peels by actually living real life with it.

    Thanks for asking, HuskieJohn! This model is not listed as having the fingerprint resistant coating. Generally, any Samsung model that does have this coating will have the color listed as "fingerprint resistant stainless steel". ^Jecca

  • Very unhappy with this item and considering returning. Our vegetables wilt or go bad almost immediately drawers. It seems the drawers are not actual crispers and not able to control at all but I can’t find any info even in manual. Please advise.

    Hi PLN, Thank you for reaching out and we hope you are in good health. We are saddened to know that this has happened to you. This is not the experience we want for our customers.
