Spacious, beautiful, quite.
on May 5, 2020
Posted by: JimVan
We just installed this 23 cu ft counter depth black stainless model. First impression: Beautiful! 2nd first impression: Quiet.
This model replaced a full sized, six year old, 25 cu ft non-Samsung model and even though there is less space this model is much better organized so the same food from the old model fit into the Samsung with room to spare!
Another first impression is that the doors to the refrigerator do not slam by themselves. It has a soft-stop built-in to prevent this, which was a huge problem with our previous refrigerator. The downside is that you have to make sure you shut the door, but the good news is the door slamming stops! By day two we were already used to this.
We are an Insiders.net family and received this refrigerator at a discounted price and a promise to write product testimonials and reviews. One of their code of conduct rules is to always be honest. This review is exactly that.
I have read that Samsung water dispensers have a habit of dripping and I was very concerned when ours starting dripping straight away. In reading the manual it states that air in the lines can cause this so once the system was fully “burped” the dripping stopped. Note that this “burping” took the better part of a day but the dispenser is now complete dripless.
Speaking of the owner’s manual, that is Samsung’s product weakness. Not the best manuals on Earth but their customer support is very helpful. It took a call to figure out the control panel. Quick and easy.
Connecting to the Smart Things app was a challenge, as it was with our newest Samsung TV, but it finally synched up and all is good.
Going from a full sized model to this counter-depth model was quite concerning for us. But it fits our kitchen so, so much better and it’s amazing how just a few inches makes out kitchen feel so much better. The refrigerator now fits the kitchen instead of the kitchen fitting around a very larger refrigerator.
We knew coming in that refrigerator magnets are now a thing of the past with a stainless steel model, since they are not magnetic. But, the sides of the fridge are magnetic! However, we have promised our new, beautiful Samsung that we will not overload its sides with gaudy, old-school magnets.
We didn’t realize how noisy our old refrigerator was until we got this new Samsung! It is nearly silent. At first I found myself checking and double-checking just to make sure it was still working!
So far we are completely pleased and have already ordered a new, black stainless-steel range to match and will complete with a new Microwave and Dishwasher in the near future. The new refrigerator has really refreshed our entire kitchen!
Into our third week now and the only complaint we have is the icemaker is a bit slow.

Had to beat the Mission Impossible franchise and this part in the series has some mind blowing action that's just more incredible with 4K and Dolby Atmos. The video and audio quality is some of the best on any 4K disc available. A must-buy.

4K Disk is defective
on January 3, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
This 4K disk is defective and has been documented as such all over the Internet. However, the bluray is fine and of course, the stream is perfection. Therefore it's not worth the hassle for me to return it. I'll just watch the stream version. This is not a Best Buy issue either. I am within my return period, but I am choosing not to hassle with it since I only paid $7.99 for the package. The movie is awesome!

Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 4TB capacity.

Manage and automate interior lighting easily with this Belkin Wemo smart light switch. The physical switch allows you to turn lights on and off by hand, while an included app sets schedules to brighten spaces while away. This Belkin Wemo smart light switch functions alongside others for complex automation arrangements.
I assume the switch can be turned on/off manually as well. But when you’re away from the switch and want to turn on remotely, does the switch have to be in the on position? Or does the remote signal (WiFi) connect to power when it calls for it?
Yes, it has a manual, lighted button to turn it on and off, like all Wemo products. When using the app, or auto controls, it doesn't matter whether you have turned it on or off manually. The app and/or the automatic settings will then take over. And you can override those with the manual button anytime you want. This switch gives the use maximum flexibility.
