- I investigated and read reviews by previous buyers before purchasing and chose this Samsung Side-By-Side over french door and bottom freezer designs (including other manufacturer).
- Ample space in both refrigerator and freezer, glass shelves and plastic bins. Well lighted with LEDs. No more issues of food items falling behind shelves or bins. Spills contained. Easy to clean.
- Freezer: Ice maker in freezer door adds more storage space. Buy online an additional freezer shelf for better utility laying items flat or small containers. Freezer drawers are bonus to hold items lended to freezer burn (meats, cheeses, breads) and smaller items.
- Really like dual cooling with separate systems running freezer and refrigerator. Must READ manual to learn operation of cooling systems and monitor temperature ranges for kitchen.
- Refrigerator: Good adjustable shelves to accommodate food item height, but should be pull out to reach back items. "Wine rack" good for all bottled products (soda, juices, tall-weird shaped) and can tuck small, flat items underneath. LED lighting doesn't go all the way down to bins. In-depth butter/diary upper shelf. Door shelves adequate to fit all needs. Great bins, 3 total, one for meat/cheeses, one for cool climate veggies, and one for fruit or warm-climate veggies.
Front In-door control panel & water/ice dispensers: Must READ manual to learn how to operate. Water dispenser is installed pointing towards the rear for easier filling of glasses but not ideal for filling pitchers, coffee pots and/or tea kettles. Water does not turn off causing spills down front and difficult to wipe down. Recommend switching back to ice after using water to prevent inadvertent spills.
Front: Stainless-steel platinum holds magnets AND water stains, fingerprints & streaks. A cleaning nightmare -- use micro cloths or magic erasers with "elbow grease".
Water filter (expensive) is located at bottom for easier re-placement.

Great product. A little pricy but worth it. I like the design of the fridge.it fits a bunch of stuff. I would highly recommend this product to all the families out there with kids. Food stays nice and cold and the refrigerator is energy efficient. The value is definitely there for the price. A lot if freezer space as well which is nice when you are stocking up. Not sure what else I can say. It's a really good value and I do recommend this item.

This is actually a nice refrigerator. But, the ice maker is horrible. Cubed ice comes out crushed. It backs up a lot. And, the inside of it has a lot of built up frost- which probably clogs it. I have reset it, called customer service, but no avail. There was some complaints about the icemaker that I read in reviews. I should have listened. Also, a week after I got the refrigerator, I was cleaning the door with a soft cloth and stainless steel polish. The cloth caught the "S" on the Samsung decal, and took the "S" off. I called for a new "S," or a whole new sticker set. Samsung said, "no way, that is a cosmetic thing." To come out and fix it, they would have charged me for a service call. I just need an 'S!' And, it was only a week old! So, the fridge looks dorky as an "AMSUNG." I actually called again about the sticker and they still said no. So, instead of buying an Amsung stove and microwave to match, I recently bought both Whirlpool. Samsung lost our continued business over a sticker?????? Of an S!!! Not recommended! One more thing- the top shelf is low, you will not be able to fit 2 liters or gallons of milk on ANY of the shelves, so keep the shelves on the door clear! Kinda odd, really.

Going by all the reviews for this fridge, I was pretty torn as to which one to buy. I went with this one, because having researched fridges (of all companies) for a month, and gone to all kinds of websites for reviews, etc, this particular model was coming up as better than the rest.
I've had this fridge for about four months now and am very happy with it. It's very quiet, efficient, well designed on the inside (shelves, etc), and looks good!
The only thing that's not 100% perfect is the ice dispenser. It just takes some getting used to....initially, ice was falling out of our glasses, onto the floor, whenever we tried to dispense some ice. However, with a little bit of practice, we learned to hold the glass right up into the dispenser, leaving no room for falling ice on the sides. We don't use huge amounts of ice, so I can't comment on the speed of the ice maker.
Some people may like to take note of the side panelling of the fridge, which is grey (not the normal black), which I think blends much better with the rest of our kitchen.
The delivery service itself from Best Buy was flawless.
All in all, a great purchase! I will update this review if anything changes.

I can't say enough good things about this refrigerator. I love it. It easily fits all my groceries and has room to spare. the on door temperature controls make it so easy to set and keep things good and chilled/frozen. its quiet and you barely even know its on. It does get fingerprints easily but that's not a big deal. Just wipe it down with a damp cloth and you're good to go!

overall I really like this refrigerator, I love the built in wine rack and the filtered water is some of the best water I've ever tasted, the ice maker could have been designed better, sometimes it just doesn't want to work right.

I specifically chose this refrigerator because of the in door ice maker which frees up a lot of space in the freezer for other items. Within a week after delivery, the ice dispenser jammed multiple times from a build up. Factory defect, dispenser not closing all the way, so air would get in causing ice to melt some, therefore causing it to jam. Geek squad was quick in coming out to fix it, actually replaced the part, but now it won't dispense ice cubes, only crushed, so I'm going to have to call them again.
Love the frig side, see thru drawers are great, wine/bottle rack is new to me and love it.

It is a great looking refrigerator with plenty of inside space in the refrigerator and the freezer with an easy water and ice dispenser (a must); the ice maker is designed to be in the freezer door allowing more space in the freezer side and the inside LED lighting is really cool along with the digital display on the door letting you know what is going on in both the refrigerator side and the freezer side.

A:AnswerThere are many differences in th deatils. I will guess and say the front water panel is different. Dual cooling fans. Built in door ice maker (nothing is inside..its all in the door). LED lighting. Just to name a few...
A:AnswerLED Tower Lighting refers to the vertical column of LED lights in the freezer compartment of the RS265TDRS. To see what the lighting configuration looks like in this model, click the "Images" button under the main image of the refrigerator, then select "Alternate View 1".
- Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThank you for the question. There are a number of variables that can effect the time needed for the ice bin to be filled, so following are some tips and guidelines for you to use in determining if your RS265TDRS is working properly. If you have just installed your refrigerator, it can take as much as 24 hours for the freezer to reach the temperature necessary for ice production to begin, depending on the difference between your room's temperature and the set temperature; the temperature of the food that's been added to the refrigerator and freezer during the cooling process; the humidity level; and how often the door is opened while cooling. The freezer temperature must be 5ºF or lower for the ice maker to work properly, and Samsung recommends setting the freezer temperature at -2°F. Once ice is produced, you should throw away the first three batches (approximately 30 cubes) to ensure the ice is being made from clean water.
Your Samsung refrigerator should produce about 120 ice cubes per day, which is in line with most manufacturer specifications. If your freezer is producing less than that, make sure the water valve is turned on and consider changing the water filter, since a clogged filter could effect water flow and ice production. To speed up ice production, press the Power Freeze button on the control panel. In the Power Freeze mode, both the compressor and the freezer fan run for 10 hours continuously. The ice making interval is reduced from 90 minutes to 55 minutes. If the ice bucket fills in less than 10 hours, Power Freeze stops automatically.
- Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerYes, the icemaker in the RS265TDRS has a "feeler arm" that tells the icemaker to stop making ice when the storage compartment is full.
Thanks for your interest!
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerOther main difference is the number of LED lights.
267 is much more brighter than 265. It has taller tower lights as well as more LEDs at bottom drawer. So total 6 more LED lights in 267. So you can see easily. People say it's worth extra $200 as 265 seems to be dark and when you fill the refrigerator there is less light as all light is coming from backside.
