Perfect size for small family, ice makers tricky
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We needed a small counter depth fridge and my wife was sold on having the French door design, and I really wanted an icemaker but not having the water adapter which tends to look messy after a couple of years, that’s where we compromised on this model by Samsung. The build quality seems very good and the handles are strong, Icemaker works well after a few days of building up ice quantity however you will have to turn the icemaker on/off should the bin reach capacity, when the collection bin is full of ice, when you pull open the freezer drawer the excess ice will fall to the ground through the back of the drawer, quite tricky to deal with as long as you turn the icemaker off on the front top control panel, you will be fine. We love having the nice wide shelves to place large platters for gatherings, however there is not a lot of storage for tall items other than two door pockets for gallons of milk or 2 liter bottles. The bottom freezer can hold more items than I originally expected however do not buy this fridge if you go to Costco and buy large boxes of frozen items they simply will not fit, or you will be doing a lot of repackaging to force them into a drawer that really isn’t that deep. Hence, this fridge is solid build quality, looks great for smaller family, not great for large volume shoppers.

Great 3-Door Fridge
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a 3-door Fridge for a small condo. It had to be counter depth & no more than 32" wide. I also needed an Ice Maker, but not on the door as that will waste space. The Ice maker does a good job once the temperature normalizes (24 hr). The unit runs quietly & looks great! Nice upgrade from a traditional refrigerator.

Some odd design choices
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This fridge is replacing a similar sized (30-inch wide) 22-year-old top-freezer model. Surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to be much more useable space. I had to put the two shelves in their lowest position in order to have a shelf tall enough for pitchers and tall items. The door bins have such a deep surround on them that you need more space above them than there is available to take things in and out. This is my first bottom freezer. I wish the drawer was more squared off to accommodate frozen items in boxes. The ice maker makes 8 cubes per hour - pretty slow. My little countertop ice maker makes *much* more ice than that. On the plus-side, this unit is very quiet, and I love having fridge items at eye level.

Great size for smaller spaces!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this model has been great! Nice to have the refrigerator on the top which makes it so much easier to see everything that’s in there. The only con so far is the noise that it makes when going through the cooling cycle.

Great looking and space saver!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this fridge for a lot of homes. It is slightly narrower than a standard fridge at 33" wide, but it doesnt look smaller. People like the look of the doors and the counter depth makes the kitchen feel bigger!

Samsung French Door Refrigerator
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are quite happy with our new Samsung French Door refrigerator, though it's still brand new and retains that new refrigerator smell. We purchased an extended warranty just in case, but if this unit continues to operate as it has so far we wont be needing it. They just don't build them like they used to, but so far, at least, we have no complaints. The unit is well illuminated and the digital temperature readouts for the main compartment and freezer are welcome features. We hope to have this refrigerator for a long time to come.

Q: QuestionThe height of this appliance with hinge is 70+ inches. Without, it's 68.75. I have shallow cabinets over my fridge at 69 inches. If the 70+ height is on the front, this will fit. If there is additional height in the back, it won't. Can someone check?
Asked by Amanda.
- A:Answer The extra height is in the front. It is about 1.5" high and maybe 3" from front to back.

Q: QuestionThe description of this fridge reads it is not frost free. But then directly below that it reads "defrost type: automatic" (aka, frost free). So which is it? Because my freezer builds up large ice droplets every couple of weeks that need to be scraped.
Asked by HeatherLA.
- A:Answer have only had this fridge for a few weeks, but so far no ice build up!! Purchased it because of the frost free feature !!!! So far so good. Love it!!

Q: QuestionI have a wall where the left side of the fridge (facing fridge) will be. I will need to adjust door so that when it opens, it stops at 90 degrees. Will this prevent crisper from opening?
Asked by Porto21.

Answered by Judy
Q: QuestionFor those who have encountered major issues with this model, do you think I can avoid these if I never connect the ice maker? Thanks in advance.
Asked by Charlie.
- A:Answer No. The ice maker is actually in a very good spot as far as ice maker issues go. It's in a secure spot, not being in the door. It seems most of the problems with ice makers are ones installed in the door, because of the opening and closing of the door.
