I bought this same Samsung model a year or so ago, at considerable higher price.  Still -- it was worth it.  At the current prices, it's a steal.

No more moldy food, no more half-melted ice cream or rock-solid ice cream.  Set the temperatures seperately on the freezer and the refrigerater, and they...

What attracted me to the Samsung was price, apperance and function.

After the purchase I found that the ice maker was a technology that was not fully explained except by the repairman that came to fix it. It is slow and at times ice is not keep up with even normal use of 2-3 cups of ice per 24 hours....

Samsung 26.5 cu. ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator ... Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 14 of 25 in total

This refrigerator is great!!  We had a Kenmore Elite beforehand, and the ice maker broke a few times, along with the door handle.  Not only does the Samsung look great, you can't tell it's even on because it runs so quietly.  I have to disagree with people who say the ice maker is slow because I constantly have ice being made and dumped into the tray.  The water filtration is awesome, and I haven't had any problems since we had it delivered over 3 months ago.  The shelving is very spacious, and the pull out drawers are big as well.  I also like the option of "Power Freeze" and "Power Cool"...

This refrigerator caught my eye right away by it's looks and functionality, not to mention the water and ice in the door with large cup capacity! no more ice on the floor by trying to put a large cup in a small cup space.

It is rated one of the top energy efficient Refrigerators and has duel cooling lines to distribute air flow evenly.  It has a quick cooler that will take freezer air to one compartment if you want to cool something quickly and the best part of all that wasn't found in many other side by sides....Room for large pizza's!!!!  We were sold on this one right away and love it!

After searching for months and reading numerous reviews, I finally settled on this fridge. I am very happy with my decision. The overall design, the space in fridge and freezer have lived up to the descriptions here. And yes, it is VERY quiet which after having a loud refrigerator, this is heaven.  I did have some questions at first but all was resolved in the discussion forum -which was most helpful since it was the weekend! This unit replaces a Frigidaire that was of equal size yet Samsung clearly has the upper hand in shelf space, etc. If you purchase this refrigerator just remember to...

We bought this refrigerator for a couple of reasons; 1. It was $400 less than the exact model at ******.  2. The layout of this refrigerator is outstanding.  

We've had it for a month now and couldn't be happier with our purchase.  It is whisper quiet and appears to be working perfectly.  It sure beats the 17 year old GE Profile that it replaced.

Sleek and spacious

We bought this fridge this fall from Sears for a great price.  It looks great in our kitchen and has plenty of room for everything.  I've been really impressed with my Samsung fridge.

This unit looks great.  It is sleek and quiet.  It came at a great price point.  Very large and roomy.  We are very satisfied.

LOVE THE REFRIGERATOR!

We looked for a while for the right refrigerator for our family.  I rated it "outstanding" because we are very pleased with it so far.  Also, our electric bill went down as a result of this new unit.  Our old one was a Kenmore and it was 20+ yrs old.  This was a really good deal, so we went for it.  (Got it for around $800!)  We've had it for about 2 months now.  We did not have an issue with the ice/water, like other reviews...thought we would, but read the instructions and worked everything out.  I couldn't be happier with this unit!  It's big, cost efficient, and we have ice/water...

Got this fridge after the one year old Kenmore (that cost twice as much) had more problems then you could imagine. Had the ice maker replaced after only 3 weeks in service. Still does the same. SLOW!!! Other then that, is a beautiful fridge and temps work perfect! Sears replaced the Kenmore with this one for FREE! And I bought no extended service contract. I would give it 10 stars if not for our ice maker issues. Maybe they will recall them soon we hope. The problem seems too be the flexible ice tray. Not like the older units that heated the ice from underneath first, then dumped the ice out....

Nice fit- easy set up

Very sharp looking.  My wife was not sure at first due to the glossy front- smudges.  However, this model is good at hiding those prints and easy to wipe off the other.  Water filter is great and not as costly as some.  So far, so good.

       We have a houselhold of 15 people and needed a very spacious refrigerator. We looked around for months for a stylish and functional refrigerator for a great price! This refrigerator had great reviews on multiple websites so I decided to look at in person.  I wasn't let down when I saw it! It has plenty of room and great features that allow to put up shelves in order to make room for taller items below! The freezer at the bottom is at very roomy as well! The shelves on the inside of the doors are wide and can fit quite a bit! I am able to fit 2 gallons of milk on 1 shelf! I...

I am very pleased with my purchase. I thought Samsung was only good for Televisions.  Boy was I surprised with the appearance and the feasibility of the Samsung Refrigerator.  It was the icing on the cake for my kitchen remodel.

Fantastic...

The other reviews on the poor ice making qualities of this fridge are crazy! The ice makes puts out 6.4 ice cubes every hour. Thats 153 pieces of ice per day... Maybe this thing wont keep up with your dinner parties for crowds of people but it will keep up with the needs of ice for an average family.

 

Okay.. So the fridge got cold really quickly,, The freezer was -10 degrees in less than 3 hours. The fridge was 36 degrees in under 3 hours as well...

The fridge is quite large (especially when compared to the 18 cubic foot one it replaced) and sticks out a little bit further, but thats to be expected....

A nice unit!!

After one month of research, I finally made this purchase!  It is a great looking refrigerator and is very quiet, except the ice maker release is somewhat loud!  I replaced a 20-year old GE with the Samsung mainly because of the energy efficient factor and wanting the convenience of fresh water from the door.  After reading so many reviews on ALL models and brands, I believe the Samsung units have the least amount of mechanical problems.  Thus far, I have been very pleased!!!

After spending an entire week of looking at many name brand refrigerators in different stores, we finally settled on the Samsung. The delivery was on schedule, and installation went without a hitch.  The installer said that food could be immediately placed in the unit, but that it would take about 4 hours to reach optimum temperature settings in both the freezer and refrigerator.  Actually, the set temperatures were reached within 3 hours.

So far, we have not been disappointed.  The refrigerator is one of the quietest that we came across; food storage space is adequate in both compartments. ...
