We picked this out to replace the old Samsung after the freezer died. The Best Buys here in Texas are in the process of remodeling, so they did not have a lot of selection in the store. We liked our old Samsung, so we just picked up the newer version. While the layout in the new one is more spacious, there are a few things missing. It does not have a covered door for butter (this is a minor issue considering the doors hold a lot more than the old one did), and the water filter is moved. It is the water filter that has us most concerned. The new water filter does not take up as much space as the old one, but if it leaks (and it will, whenever you change it unless you shut the water down everytime you change the filter), getting to the where the water is a pain. It leaks right into the crisper drawer, which, admittedly, does make it easier to dump the water. It also messes up anything you may have in the crisper drawer. The other big pet peeve is that you can see the wheels from the front. In all of the pictures on this website (and Samsung's), those are cropped out of the picture. There is no facia to cover the wheels, which makes it look cheap. All in all, it is a good fridge, but caveat emptor: if you have difficulty moving the fridge to get to where the water shut off is, you will spend a great deal of time cleaning up spilled water every time you change the filter.
What's great about it: Size and lighting
What's not so great: Touchy water filter, nothing covers the wheels from a front view
