Eat the way you love every day. From produce to poultry, dairy and more, this Samsung refrigerator will keep ingredients fresh, delicious and ready for use in your favorite recipes.

My wife really wanted a French door 'fridge; I was ok with another side by side. Our old side by side ran all day and was really loud due to some poor repair work in the past, but it worked. I finally relented and got what she wanted. We got a great deal. With a Reward Zone coupon and the Texas Energy Star tax holiday, we walked out at less than very low sale sticker price which I've yet to see again.
After living with it for a few months, it's OK but no real improvement over the old fridge. Yes, it runs less and more effeciently, but not really that much quiter than our 13 year old side by side. It's bigger than the old (though one of the smallest French door models) and barely fits into our refrigerator space but doesn't really seem to hold as much as the old one, or at least not as organized. The freezer seems overly large. It holds a lot, but we use the refrigerator more and find that the organization is a bit lacking and stuff gets lost in the back of the 'fridge. When you open the freezer door you can feel all of the cold air fall out and then the freezer always has to kick on after you close it to replenish the cold air.
The ice maker isn't noisy except when it's dispening the disappointingly small cubes at a generally slow pace.
We liked the satin finish available on other Samsung models, but we had to settle for the stainless steel finish which really attracts and holds fingerprints and scratches very easily. And it took awhile to get used to that huge shiny thing in the kitchen.
One annoying fact is that you have to physically push the doors closed for them to close properly. The old fridge just took a small push and it would close itself.
Overall, it works as a fridge and freezer; no problems there. But I'm no French door fan, and now the wife isn't either.

What's great about it: LED Lighting, big freezer
What's not so great: French Door design, easy to leave fingerprints, small ice cubes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
