This stove has some great features and a couple of drawbacks. First, the good: looks very nice, functions very well (fast pre-heat and burners).
Meh: Using one dial to control 3 burners was a bad idea. The larger front right burner has three sizes, and so each is controlled separately, but all three are shoved into the space normally used by one burner. This makes it very hard to get a precise temp on any of those burners. The double burners also share one knob,but it's not as major of an issue. The other issue is the glass top. This oven replaced an older glass top that was always easy to clean. Maybe it had become 'seasoned' over the years, but the glass top on this Samsung is very hard to keep clean. Everything sticks to it like crazy. I wonder if it has to do with how much hotter these burners get compared to older stoves (one burner melted foil).

I've been really impressed with this microwave. It's the first one I've ever used that has presets you can rely on. The smart sensor feature does a great job with things like popcorn and defrosting meats. Took one star off because the door is huge. You have to step back to open this and can easily hit your unsuspecting partner - the entire front of it opens.

Terrible
Customer Rating
1.0
I purchased this with a bundle of appliances for my new kitchen. Unlike the other appliances, my old dishwasher was only a couple of years old and worked well. It was a fairly standard model that went for a few hundred dollars. I fully expected this more expensive WaterWall model to outperform my old one in every way. That, sadly, has not been the case. This is one of those dishwashers that require you to wash dishes before loading up. It is too weak to remove anything from dishes that is not in a liquid state. It got so bad that I called Geek Squad and a tech came out to look at it and it turns out the pump wasn't working. Oh good, I thought, that explains the poor performance.
Not so fast. While the new pump did dramatically improve the cleaning power of the dishwasher it's still no where near as good as my old cheap one. It still won't remove anything that's 'stuck on'. It still struggles to clean a full load. It's a terrible disappointment and unfathomable that a new dishwasher can be this bad after decades of development. The only good thing about it is that it's extremely quiet.
I am seriously contemplating eating the loss on this and replacing it with another brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Fridge - Poor Install
Customer Rating
5.0
The fridge itself has been great, super quiet and everything stays fresh. I am on my second one, however. The first one was installed and quickly began making a high pitched noise whenever it was running. I called to have it replaced since it was within the return/exchange period and a new one was scheduled for delivery. In the meantime a tech came out to look at the fridge and said that the problem was the fan hitting its housing because the fridge wasn't balanced properly, one of the feet was higher than the others. He told us to proceed with the exchange as the fridge was likely ruined by this.
When the second fridge came the same guys delivered it into the house. The guy who'd installed the first fridge said he'd adjusted the feet to make the doors line up. He showed me on the new one that the doors were off (right side a little higher than left) and said the replacement was balanced but he has to adjust the feet to line the doors. That sounded crazy to me so I told him to leave it as it was, the fridge balanced. After he left I looked at the manual and quickly found the correct way to line the fridge doors up by using an adjustment screw on the right door. That guy likely ruined countless fridges by bending the whole fridge to line up doors. Hopefully someone at Best Buy reads this and educates their delivery crews better, I can't imagine how many units get returned for this.
TL;DR - This is a great fridge with a few annoying quircks:
1) Ice maker seems to fire ice into the container at high velocity, can be heard from all over the house. Otherwise very quiet.
2) There is an annoying delay when you depress the ice/water dispenser. Water dispenses immediately but you have to wait a few seconds for ice. Also, if you push the button too quickly to go from ice to water it won't actually switch to water. You have to slow yourself presses down.
3) DO NOT LINE UP DOORS BY USING THE FEET - THE DOOR WILL HAVE AN ADJUSTMENT SCREW.

How well does this dishwasher dry dishes?
Some of the reviews are mixed but i would like to know if there is a heated dry or is it mediocre on drying dishes?
I have found that it dries dishes really well if you let it go through the entire lengthy drying cycle. There will still be water pooled in the usual places but most things get completely dry.

how quiet is this refrigerator
Very quiet overall, I rarely notice when it's running or not. The only loud thing is when the ice maker drops ice, which is quite loud.
