Very good but noisy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this fridge for a new home over the holidays and over all we love it. It's got plenty of space and with a little bit of diluted water/vinegar, the stainless keeps clean easily. The lighting inside is great and we like that it doesn't have any fancy water/ice dispensers on the outside. (We personally like to keep it simple). So, because nothing is perfect, I have to dock a point. I was afraid and very hesitant to get a Samsung fridge due to all of the reviews and reports I found over the internet about them making popping and cracking noises. Well, it's true. Although ours is not AS BAD as some of the You Tube videos out there, it's noticeable and can be annoying at time. The noises are random and have no bearing on whether the ice maker is on or off. I have to sleep with my room door closed because the noise does bother me at night (I don't hear them with the door closed and the fridge is about 20 feet away). Over all though, we think it's great and it suits out needs. For the sale price we got and the reward points we got after the purchase, we definitely think it was a good purchase. If you are OCD and noises bug you, then do not get this fridge. Oh yeah, and also the installers were very knowledgeable and gave us some tips about it. Like supposedly, in Florida the "Energy saver" option actually shortens the fridge's life. Not sure if it's true but better safe than sorry.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worse purchase I have ever bought from Best Buy, this Samsung refrigerator broke down after a year and I had hell trying to get Samsung to fix merchandise, it took over 2 months to finally have the refrigerator replace. Samsung electronics is awesome however their appliances are awful.

Bad refrigerator for anyone
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this in January. By May I already have had a service call for this fridge - ended up having to put in a new compressor. Fast forward 4 months and the same thing is happening. Called Samsung and so far getting the run around. Save yourself the headache and just don't but it.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this unit back in 2013 and it already needs to be replaced. The fridge has leaked for years causing water to build up under the drawer and freezing. Water drips all over the floor. Apparently reading about this fridge, it’s a common issue. Stay away!

Was a return model
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mine was a return model and wasn't checked out first so didn't have very good luck with it. Geek Squad service was well worth the investment, they tried to repair it and was unsuccessful so after I said I was unhappy with the product. They just said tell them to replace it. I did and they did.
