Good so far (1 month after purchase)
Customer Rating
4.0
We spent a lot of time looking at reviews and ratings for refrigerators. All brands and models seem to get negative reviews of some kind so we were taking a gamble on whatever we chose. A lot of reviews say Samsungs make a lot of noise, break easily, and its is hard to find a repair person. Because of that, we purchased the geek squad extended warranty for peace of mind.
We chose this model because it has water and ice on the door and ample interior space at a reasonable price (on black Friday sale). Plus, the shelves were able to be customized more than other brands. After using for a month, I am happy with the interior capacity and half/lifting shelves that allow me to fit more inside than any other refrigerator I've owned.
A little over a month after installation we have no major complaints. It does make noise though, as other reviewers have noted. The ice maker is a little noisy, but they all make noise when they draw water and drop ice. I don't believe this one is excessively loud. It does make more noise (humming) when it is running compared to the ancient GE P.O.S. that was in the house when we moved in. Considering it is probably way more efficient, I'll live with the louder hum. I have not heard the loud "popping" that other reviews have noted. I hope it stays that way.
Some of the interior door storage bins on the left side are small and oddly shaped so they're hard to use; not many things fit in some of the spaces.
The water and ice maker are working fine. Sometimes an ice cube melts in the door hopper and some water leaks out and lays in the tray area. Its nice that it can just be wiped clean instead of needing to remove a tray. We use a reverse osmosis filter for our drinking water so it would be nice if Samsung made a "blank" filter so we didn't have the redundancy or need to replace/turn off the replacement notice.
The freezer does not have top storage bins so I bought everyday bins so I can organize better. I like the bottom freezer much better than my old top freezer. The drawers allow better organization.
If this model made better use of left door interior storage, a blank filter cartridge option, top shelf bins in the freezer, and made less noise I would give it one more star.
I would recommend this to a friend!

How far back do the hinges on the doors go?
I've looked on the Samsung website at the spec sheet with no luck. I need to no how far back I need to have 70 inches clearance (which is the height with hinges). We have a wood trim piece (that would be above fridge) that is just a hair less than that, but hope and think that the hinges may be a non issue, as they should be outside that. However, based on a review I read on another model, the hinges were very long (almost 10 inches) and if that's the case here, this fridge won't work for us. Help please!!! Thanks in advance.
I don’t have a specific measurement on the depth of the hinges but I can tell you the refrigerator is roughly 68 ¾” tall (we measured in store) to the top, excluding the hinges. We needed it to fit a very tight space because of cabinets and trim above the refrigerator, but the cabinets were not as deep as the counter, so it was not an issue. So really, it depends on how far out your cabinets/trim comes out from the wall because for us the refrigerator extends about 6” (not including doors) from our regular depth counter tops.
