Samsung French Door Refrigerator (bottom freezer)

We recently bought the Samsung Refrigerator and can't say enough about it..it is so quiet you can't even hear it run..the bottom slide out freezer door is convenient and the refrigerator part is spacious ..we love the french doors since it lets less cold out  and thereby save energy..I have been looking for a new fridge for the last couple of months now ..been doing a lot of research and been reading a lot of reviews..we narrowed it down to this fridge and couldn't be happier with it

Samsung 20 cu.ft. French door Bottom Freezer

  We bought this after some very exhausting research showing Samsung to be the top rated manufacturer at the time.
  However...I could only give this unit 3 stars.  While there's a lot to like...there's also a few things that could have been done better.

Pros: 

1. Fit and Finsh is perfect.

2. LED lighting is eye-pleasing and more than adequate.

3. Digital Temperature controls seem right on and I've not found the need to adjust from the factory settings (38 ref. & -2 freezer).

4. The Dual cooling system is the hands-down best cooling system on the market.

Cons:

1. My unit seems a little noisier than I would have expected.  This unit replaced an 18yr. old Kenmore that I only replaced because it was noisy and inefficient.  I had a tech look at it today and he said it was normal noise (humming and a slight gurgling sound).  Although it don't keep us up at night it does interrupt our TV watching at times, (especially on those quiet moments).

2. Shelf adjustability could (and should) be vastly improved.  There is almost no adjustability to them.  A 1 gal. container cannot stand up on any shelf and there's only 1 shelf on each door to hold them and they are not large enough to hold 2 gal. of milk side-by-side so you end up having 1 on each door.   

Summary:

    Maybe our expectations were too high, maybe we got a "lemon".  What we know is that even though overall this is a nice unit...it is going back (we've owned this for about 9 weeks), in hopes of finding a quieter unit with a better shelf configuration or adjustability.
  We may have to go back to a top freezer model to get what we are used to...but I hope not as we really like the convenience of the bottom freezer.

Delighted with my purchase

I needed a new refrigerator and did a lot of research because of space limitations. I was guided to this refrigerator because of a very helpful review I read on the Sears web-site. Fits perfectly and I like the refrigerator very much.

Love the Look

The beauty of this item is beyond compare! In addition, this modest 20 cu. ft. offers incredible use of interior space. Combined refrigerator and freezer storage has proven better than my previous Amana side-by-side. Good job, Samsung.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Good quality

I wanted a single door pull out bottom freezer counter depth but couldn't find it so I went with the French door. I'm still getting used to using the split door and think it wastes a lot of storage space. The fridge appears well made but doesn't have much room for tall objects. (I'm laying milk cartons and juice bottles on their sides). If the fridge isn't exactly level, the doors won't stay open when loading it. I love the bottom freezer and that the top shelf pulls all the way forward. Still getting used to the "running water" sounds that the circulating coolant makes. The narrow width fits my space well and I like the good interior lighting.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Defective Ice gadget

As soon as we bought it, this white wire with a white foam thing was unattached so my ice was coming out in huge clumps. Called Sears, technical was great, replaced part, only it happens again within 2 weeks, sears came out again, fixed it again. Was told not to put anything in box on top of ice, we followed directions, and it lasted awhile, but broke again, I havent called them yet to fix it.

waste of space

it was a beautiful sight after my old refrigerator then I tried to put my food in it... a 2qt bottle of milk, a 6 pack of 24oz soda bottles, 2 32oz creamers, 1 gallon rubbermaid pitcher, a 32oz bottle of juice among other things. NONE of these items would fit on a shelf without tipping them sideways first! The shelves had no possible configuration that would work. The door shelves also could not be adjusted to fit everyday items or were too narrow to fit bottles. A 2 liter bottle was out of the question. I hadn't shopped for a fridge in over 20 years, I never imagined a $1500 refrigerator could be so poorly designed. I had to leave things out or lay them down on the shelves. The salesman was wonderful, though shocked. it took a week to get my new Kenmore and I love it.

Great Samsung refrigerator

This refrigerator works great, looks great, and when you open the door you are greeted with an awesome display of LED cool lights. I have owned it for 9 months and I still have no complaints.

Putting faith in the unknown

Truth be told, I purchased this model solely because of it's dimensions--narrow enough to fit between cabinets, but not so deep as to be in the way. Would have rather gone with "tried and true" brand, but there is absolutely nothing else this size. LIghting from top of the box makes lower shelves dark and drawers impossible to see into without opening them. Tall item storage somewhat limited as others have warned, but can manage. Hoping reliablity is as good as other brand's have been.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
