Samsung - 33 in. Wide 21.1 cu. ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator with FlexZone - Stainless Steel

I was a little nervous about purchasing a Samsung refrigerator because Consumer Reports gave Samsung a low rate for their refrigerators. Unfortunately, I needed a refrigerator and this one was available without waiting and the customer service person at Best Buy assured me the problem was with the bigger Samsung refrigerators and NOT those with just the freezer on top. Since our refrigerator was no longer working I decided to trust the guy at Best Buy and get the Samsung as it kind of made sense to me that those huge refrigerators would be a bigger problem. So far I am happy with our purchase, the refrigerator is so quite the first few nights it was difficult to sleep because we could not hear the rubble of our old refrigerator. The room inside the freezer is nice and the door will make a ding noise if the door is open too long. The Samsung looks nice and I’m glad it is fingerprint resistant. I did think this refrigerator was more pricey than comparable refrigerators with the freezer on top. Originally I was looking for an LG freezer on top refrigerator and the prices were much better and Consumer Reports gave LG a much higher rating than the Samsung, unfortunately everywhere I looked LG was on backorder and there was a 4 month wait at some places for that refrigerator.

I have now owned this fridge for a bit more than 2 years. As far as cooling goes, this does the job. No complaints about the freezer. I don't use the ice maker. Fingerprint resistance is nice. As for the refrigerator design though - I am far from happy. The bottom plastic door shelf cracked and broke. Because the "slide and reach pantry" extends the full width of the fridge, there is not as much height allowed for shelving. Tall heavy things (like a gallon milk jug) need to go in a door shelf - which as I mentioned, broke. If we adjust the shelves to allow for a milk jug, it makes the other shelves too short to be useful - the shelves are already close together, and the light is in the very front so the back is DARK, items are not easily seen or accessible. (The light is in the center ceiling in our old fridge and lights up the shelves so much better.) We are removing the slide and reach pantry to make room for taller things, and will just use our own bin for deli items. I would not purchase this again.

Awesome choice for kitchens that have small storage space. I love the ice maker and it is a real sleek looking refridgerator.

Replaced my 13 year old unit. The door was sagging and seals were no longer proper. It is getting more difficult to find top freezer models and located this Open Box unit at a nearby store. It had an icemaker. I didn't have much luck with my previous unit with an icemaker and found the same with this unit. It occurred to me that it was unlikely a problem with both, so I replaced the valve and the problems went away. I bought a thermometer and tested both upper and lower units and adjusted the settings. It is quieter than my previous model and seems to run less, which should be expected. Also I like the door shelves. They run along the entire door width rather than sections.

I like the way its silent and doesn't make noise. I also like how it has alot of space inside. I also like the feature where you can convert your freezer into fridge.
