    Satisfactory Samsung Refrigerator

    I needed a refrigerator that fit within a certain height restriction, and there aren't too many french door stainless options at a slightly shorter than standard height. This is one of them. I do appreciate the ability to open either door independently, although they do need to be pushed shut rather deliberately. The refrigerator is noisier than average, in my experience. While not constant, the humming/revving of the compressor can at times be irritating. One additional inconvenience is that condensation will form on the inside of doors when using the Energy Saver mode. Samsung is well aware of this, placing numerous warnings on the manuals and on the refrigerator itself about condensation and/or frost forming. Based on this and reviews read, I would imagine the Energy Saver mode can be used in about 2% of homes based on temperature, humidity, etc. I'm now running the refrigerator with Energy Saver mode off with no condensation problems. Overall, I've been satisfied with the refrigerator, but I'm sure there are better appliances for the price if you don't have any size restrictions.

    I needed a short refrigerator with a bottom freezer. There are not a lot of choices under 66 inch height, but this one offered french doors and larger capacity then any others. I was happily surprised with how much more I can get into the fridge in comparison to my last one. The cost was the same or cheaper than other single door+bottom freezer models too. The fridge is quiet and seems to be cooling efficiently. It is too soon to tell what the energy costs will be or if the unit will perform well over the long haul, but I have high hopes.

    This is the first French door refrigerator we’ve owned coupled with a drawer freezer so we are still getting used to the layout. Missing storage for small jars and bottles. The other reviews noted the noisy freezer and we hear it as well. We are not enamored with the condensation that appears on the inside edges of the French doors and will be following up with the Geek Squad.

    Great fridge, but a bit noisy

    First of all, this fridge is great for apartment living or anywhere with a smaller fridge area. The depth of the fridge really gives you the space that you need to store anything you can think of. The long drawer on the bottom is also great for smaller, thin, items such as tortillas, pita and whatnot. It also keeps everything very cool and the freezer compartments allow for various configurations. On to the quirks. This fridge is a bit loud. Every once in a while the compressor or whatever it is inside the fridge makes a low humming drone that is always audible. Even in other rooms. It becomes white noise after a day or so, but it's worth noting. Also there is a door ajar function that beeps when the doors are open for too long. Super annoying when putting groceries away.

    This fridge has the same footprint as our old side-by-side, but holds so much more in the cooling compartment, and especially in the freezer. Everything is visible at a glance and easily accessible without having to shift a bunch of items. The black stainless steel finish is attractive, not obtrusive like regular stainless steel, and no problem at all with fingerprints.

    I actually love my fridge! After replacing a 20yr old fridge, I was happy to have it. The only drawbacks, I miss having a dairy compartment on the door for butter, the shelfs are too deep for the butter dish. My old fridge's freezer was a top compartment ,so I was unsure about the bottom drawer design, but the freezer holds more than it looks! The only draw back is the food being exposed every time someone goes in for ice. I wish the bottom basket stayed inside, while the top shelf slides out. Or perhaps just the ice bin sliding out separate. Perhaps another layer of protection (like a cover over the bottom) to keep the food from frost exposure. Yes, the top drawer covers it ,but it doesn't seem quite enough. The only safe spot for the frozen pizzas to lay flat is on the top shelf with the ice bin. Again a potential frost problem. If they had a way for just the ice bin to slide out separate that would be awesome. ( can you tell I have teenagers using the fridge). If you do not use a lot of ice it shouldn't be an issue. However, overall I do love the fridge. I love the look of the stainless steel ,but I would probably pick the standard black or white in the future as the special cleaning of it is a bit problematic. I prefer just wiping it clean with soapy water or spray cleaner as needed instead of the smelly special stainless cleaner needed. But I must say it does look Great! It was a great value & a vast improvement over my old fridge. I just hope it lasts as long!

    We love Samsung refrigerators

    We and bought this for our kids. The refrigerator is beautiful, and it is roomier, especially compared to the old one. Our daughter in law is 8 months pregnant and it's so much better to have the freezer on the bottom. BUT: this sucker is deep. Deeper than a standard refrigerator, and a little too deep for their kitchen. It sticks out past the doorway. They are moving in June and will probably take it with them.

    Great freezer storage capacity. Love the door alarm. Fruit and Veggie compartments are a good size. Like snack/dairy drawer but it would be better is if it was a few inches taller. The overall width and height fit well in a standard kitchen but the depth should be shallower by a minimum of 6 inches. The fridge is at least a foot deeper than the standard cabinet/counter depth. This results in the need to navigate around the fridge while working in the kitchen.

    Bought this as a replacement for a side-by-side fridge that came with our house. This was not our first choice, or even third choice for that matter, as we had a number of issues with availability for the units we really liked. We've had it for about a month and so far we are very pleased with this unit. Ample space in the French door fridge up top, shelves are adjustable and fit everything we need to fit, storage on the door is ample and can even hold the big jug containers. Bottom freezer has two deep bins and a slide-out drawer containing the ice tray. Icemaker works well. Very happy with freezer space as we don't seem to be as cluttered as we were before in the side-by-side unit. This unit does not have a water dispenser, so we bought a Brita which fits well on the top shelf of the fridge. Noise level is unnoticeable, look of the black fridge is sleek, magnets will stick to front of the fridge. Lighting is ample.

    I have limited space for a refrigerator, we had ordered another one elsewhere that was back ordered for 5 months & would’ve required modifications to our cabinets. I saw this one & the measurements were perfect, no modifications needed. Guess it was a good thing the other wasn’t available! Plenty of room inside & the French doors are great, you don’t have to bend down to see what’s inside. Lots of storage on doors. The bottom freezer is deep & fairly spacious also. I wanted just a black refrigerator but this is black stainless & it’s fingerprint resistant. Led bright lighting inside & temperature can be changed by pressing a button. Freezer keeps food very cold! This looks good & runs pretty quiet but it seems to run all the time & we haven’t figured out why. Also the doors needed shims because there was a gap when closed & the panel wasn’t automatically closing. Doors require a push to close but at least you know they’re sealed. A nice fridge otherwise though.

    This is a great fridge for the money. We were looking for something a little smaller than most fridges out there. The shelving is great and easy to move. Although it is not smudge proof, it cleans fairly easily. The only disclaimers I would put on it are that the freezer is not as large as it would seem, the French doors are somewhat “springy” and have a little resistence when trying to close, and it is a little deeper than expected. Not really negatives, but things to keep in mind. Would definitely recommend this to a friend.

    I have this new Samsung refrigerator 2 weeks today. So far so good. I’m getting use to the new sounds of the compressor but a non-issue. The only thing is it’s smaller inside then the GE I just got rid of in cu feet. I have to adjust the shelve levels this weekend. I had no choice for the smaller size because I live in a TH and can’t fit a 35-36 inch wide refrigerator. Also no water filter but otherwise works well. I do like that the French doors have a tight seal because my last refrigerator did not.

    We have space limits in kitchen. We do not have a water connection, everything works great, energy saving features, intuitive settings, meets our needs for food storage for two adults, overall we are very satisfied. We adjusted one side of the middle shelf to accommodate larger drink containers.

    Don't let my 4 stars dissuade you. This is a great frig. It is well organized and seems to store leftover meals and food way better than our old frig. There is plenty of door storage and I believe adequate storage for fruit vegetable and deli products etc. The freezer is big too and I love that you can just reach in and get ice. (Placing a scoop in the bin will be helpful.) This is way better for ice than an ice maker that makes cubes, crushed ice and, has a water spigot. Those all fail eventually and they can be a pain when you need lots of ice. This is much better. It is just a nice big bin of separate cubes, not too big and not too small. If I had been home when it arrived, rather than hubby, I would have made one shelf a bit taller than the others to accommodate some larger bottles of "stuff." I can still do that! One thing which doesn't work, which we could call for a repair on, is the narrow panel that is supposed to automatically flip open to seal the two doors where they join. A couple of more cubic feet of space would have been nice but we got plenty of bang for our buck and we were looking for a sale. We got it plus Best Buy took our old unit away. Yeah! They were on time and efficient and lived up to the Best Buy reputation of quality installations. And we still have plenty of room for elementary school artwork.

    Excellent price ($300 off reg price), great value and our family is so happy with this French Door fridge. This is perfect size/height for people under 5"6". Our previous fridge was a Goliath 4" wider and 5" taller and this new fridge holds the same amount of food. LOVE having the pull out shelves in the (bottom) freezer that allows you to see EVERYTHING that you have in the freezer without having to move everything around. Only wish this had a water filter for the ice cube maker as our local water tastes a little funny. If it had a water filter for the ice maker I would rate it 5 stars. Love the stainless and it matches all the other stainless Sanyo kitchen appliances. Bought the extra 3 yr warranty just to have peace of mind.
