Bought this refrigerator in the Black Stainless finish. This finish scratches extremely easy and looks terrible since it shows the shiney stainless underneath. There is nothing that can be done about it. For the high price this appliance is at, this is a terrible value and will degrade the look of a new kitchen in a matter of days. All you have to do is brush against it as it's extremely fragile. We have no children in the house, just 2 adults and we care for our things. This is very disappointing considering we bought the matching gas range and dishwasher in the same finish and the dishwasher has a scratch too. I would not recommend any Samsung Black Stainless product. Garbage and a waste of hard earned money! Buyer beware!
Cons: Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best performer for the price
on July 26, 2018

I have had this refrigerator/freezer for over 18 months. A well built unit with great capacity and features. I find the the small chest type freezer on the bottom with french door fridge on top most convenient construction layout possible. I chose this unit after extensive comparison shopping and research, I am still very happy with my choice. The best choice for the price that I could find and I have not been disappointed in the least.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great fridge, but crummy ice maker is a deal breaker!
on October 7, 2013
Posted by: Want1Cube
This refrigerator is beautiful and the design is great, but the ice maker is such a horrible pain that it makes me hate this appliance every day. You can set it to cubes, but it gives far more chips than cubes, taking a painfully noisy long time to grind them out, and then projectile vomiting many of them on to my very expensive wood floor, after which I have to spend time inspecting the entire area around it to retrieve the chips so that it doesn't leave water spots on my floor. You cant even shut it off and just retrieve the ice from inside because the ice is not easily accessible from inside. Then when it makes ice it sounds like a rock slide in my kitchen, wakes me up at night from all the way upstairs. I would love to love this gorgeous appliance, but the stupid, loud, messy chip maker makes me hate it every day. Sorry Samsung, I love your company, but your crummy ice maker is a deal breaker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a great refrigerator compared to our 12 year old past GE fridge. We love the sleek black stainless look. Just 2 things:
1. The touch sensor letters and numbers on the keypad illuminate when touched, but at night it can be difficult to see which touch sensor to press since the background doesn't illuminate. We kinda have to feel around until we've pressed the water vs. ice touch sensor, since it's one flat surface or turn a our kitchen light on at night. It would be nice to see a background illumination.
2. The ice maker is kind of loud. It's a total contrast to our new Samsung dishwasher where we have to open the door to be sure it's on.
Pros: black stainless and calming blue lights
Cons: no background illumination on touch sensors
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the design of this product.

I bought this refrigerator on the recomendation of a family member. The one I replaced had to be repaired almost every other year. I have only had this refrigerator for a month but love it more everyday, the ajustable shelves are great! they just fold out of the way when need to space for taller things, the LED lighting is bright and lights up the space really well. The controls on the door are very easy to understand and use. I love the fact that the freezer and refrigerator compartments have seperate cooling units.
