    So glad we purchased it

    We absolutely love it. I play Spotify on it when I’m cooking. Kids play games and draw pictures. You can also connect your ring doorbell camera. We also have family pictures as a screen saver. Very spacious, beautiful design and easy navigation on the touch screen. Great addition to our kitchen.

    Its ok, but the cons may be deal breakers...

    I have been wanting this fridge for quite some time but the price has always held me back. After seeing a super good sale during president's day, I decided to pull the trigger. I previously owned a Samsung Fridge with a pull out beverage drawer, so I am comparing this fridge to that. After reading so many of these helpful reviews, I decided the fridge would be a perfect upgrade, however, after owning this for 2-3 weeks now, there are some things I wish I had considered before switching to this fridge. Physical limitations: -Space: This fridge is a side-by-side (freezer on left, fridge on right). My previous fridge was top half fridge and bottom half was pull out freezer. This means now the shelving in both the fridge and freezer are narrow. No more full size pizza boxes in the fridge or large tupperware. -Ice Maker: The ice maker on this is laughable. I usually fill up a 32 oz container full of ice for my coffee and another person in the household fills up a 32 oz container for water and that pretty much depletes the ice bin. We purchased a ice container so we can stockpile ice in the freezer so we have a bit of excess. This is quite frustrating of course, but not sure how many others would run into this problem. -Water Dispenser: The water dispenser has NO light. I think samsung figured that with such a large screen on the fridge, they did not need to add a light to the water dispenser but boy are they wrong. When going to get water at night, you either have to turn on your kitchen lights or use your phone's flashlight to see how much water is in your container. Its truly a hugely missed feature that will be noticed right away when you overfill your water bottles. -Interior Camera: The interior camera can only see like 2, maybe 3 shelves. Im really curious what the point of this feature was. Additionally, when you are not home, your fridge requires the $35 smart dongle so you can view this camera when you are not home. Its a feature I am not going to use anyway so not a big deal. Software limitations: -Family Hub (touch screen): Virtually no apps available. This is running some version of SamsungOS and pretty much the apps on there are all that’s available (no app store). Most apps require you to cast to your fridge from your phone. Part of the reason I got this fridge was so I could control spotify when having gatherings and let my guests queue songs from the fridge. Unfortunately, the version of spotify on the fridge is more like a spotify remote (only allowing you to skip songs forwards/backwards) and only if the fridge itself is playing the music. I want to really stress the fact that the fridge is great. It does everything a fridge is supposed to do, but if you are planning to get this fridge and any of the cons I mentioned are deal breakers, then consider alternative styles. I think in the future, I would get the Samsung family hub fridge that is a top/bottom style and maybe has a bigger ice maker. Hopefully samsung includes lights in these models. Pros: -Touch Screen is pretty cool, not laggy at all. -Perfect fridge for tech enthusiasts -Functions great as a fridge/freezer Cons: -Narrow space in fridge/freezer (all side by sides have this con though) -Ice maker holds laughable amounts of ice -Water/Ice dispenser has no light. Cant see when containers are full without flashlight or overhead kitchen lights. -Very limited apps for fridge Takeaway: Great fridge to get as long as the listed cons are not deal breakers.

    Yessss SAMSUNG

    I love the touchscreen feature. What makes this refrigerator so great is I can see what’s inside of the refrigerator when I’m not home, so if I need certain groceries or I can’t remember what’s in the refrigerator? I can always see it. This does have a touchscreen feature on the outside and you can watch Samsung TV channels and YouTube while you are cooking in the kitchen. You just have to have the smart things app. Yes this does come with an icemaker and you can also get ice chips as well. My water container is 36 ounces and it fits you have no idea how convenient it is to get water and ice and no spills. The outside material is smudge proof so you don’t see any fingerprints and when it’s delivered it’s wrapped up extremely well.
