Compact size but spacious inside

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This refrigerator has ample space, similar to my previous one, albeit with a more compact design. It is stainless steel, but keep in mind it will show fingerprints. The freezer door can swing completely out, but the fridge door opens just enough to pull out the bottom drawer. I love that it opens from the sides. And the doors can be switched to open from either side. It doesn't swing enough to automatically close, so you have to forcefully push to close it. An alarm will beep if you leave it open for too long. There's no separate compartment in the fridge to store sticks of butter. At first, the temperature was set to 1 degree for the freezer and 35 degrees in the fridge. I downloaded the SmartThings (Samsung) app and adjusted the freezer temp to -1 degrees. It was very easy to do—I scanned the QR code & it immediately detected my refrigerator. There’s a cool feature called Power Freeze that rapidly freezes for up to 50 hours. If you live a hot climate like me, you’ll appreciate this feature. Essentially, it freezes items like ice cream or frozen foods that need to be immediately frozen. I turn it on after I make trips to the grocery store because during the summer, frozen items melt fast before I even get home. The other option is Power Cool, which works the same but for the fridge. It runs very quietly because I can't hear it unless I'm standing directly in front of it. And even then, it's only a subtle humming sound—no noisy knocking or bumping coming from it. The lights are a little dim, but that's probably because it's suitable for a garage. The app can be used for energy management, and it shows the energy usage in watts.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the shiny stainless steel look. It definitely keeps food cold in the fridge, and it chilled quickly. The capacity is amazing. We are a household of two, and there’s plenty of space. The bottom drawer is large enough to fit medium and large containers of fruit or vegetables. I kind of wish there was a glass shelf in the freezer instead of plastic. But it seems sturdy enough to hold up. The door shelves are not adjustable, but they offer a decent amount of space for condiments. So far it's an energy saver because I don't hear it running much even when the door is left open for a few minutes. The ice bin is a decent size too. It is a bit shorter than our previous fridge, but I love the smaller frame. It doesn’t take away from space inside because it has depth and many shelves. Pros: Large fresh box storage for fruits/veggies 3 wide door shelves in fridge 2 wide door shelves in the freezer Energy efficient Auto ice maker Cons: Plastic instead of glass in the freezer Door shelves not adjustable

Perfect size and luxurious look

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has the perfect amount of storage that I need for a refrigerator. It has a sleek stainless steel finish and smudges/fingerprints can be wiped easily. The LED lighting makes it even better to view everything that I have stored in the refrigerator. The doors easily open without being too heavy to pull open. The size of this refrigerator isn’t too big and bulky which makes it easy to find any spot in kitchen or garage for it. I decided to add to my garage as a second refrigerator to store the extra snacks, foods, sauces, drinks, etc for my family. My previous refrigerator was falling apart and was ancient. I am very satisfied with this Samsung product.

Reliable Garage Fridge That Handles Extreme Temps

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a refrigerator that could stand up to the extreme temperatures in my garage as my previous one had failed on me due to extreme heat. I came across this one, "garage ready" fridge but was skeptical. After a few weeks of use, I’m seriously impressed. I was initially concerned it might be too small, but the interior space is well designed, providing plenty of space for my family needs. The only thing I miss is my previous bottom-freezer setup. With the freezer on top, I find myself bending down more often to reach everyday items. The only "down side" I could find, quite honestly. Overall, this fridge has exceeded expectations—it’s efficient, quiet, and tough enough for garage duty. Highly recommend for anyone needing a fridge under extreme weather conditions. I've been using it for a little while now, under extremely hight temps, and it's been working beautifully! Now I'll work on putting all my magnets back! I'm very excited and confident this will be here for a long time!

Horrible quality and service

Extremely disappointed. The refrigerator stopped working after five years. Samsung authorized service center, service quick(they have about a one star rating with hundreds of reviews), charges $140 prior to the appointment. They said the compressor was bad. They replaced the compressor and the fridge stopped working less than a week later. Now they say the temp sensor is bad and it will cost $140+labor+parts. I didn’t realize this fridge wouldn’t last more than 5 years and a repair costs double the fridge price for the compressor and about half for a temp sensor. I wish I had seen the article about Samsung refrigerators receiving the most complaints. Samsung service center was also frustrating. So not only did the compressor fail around five years, so did the template/defrost sensor. Horrible quality. I won’t buy from them again.

Garage Ready refrigerator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Besides the compact size, it's huge inside. Since this stays in the garage, the surface of the device does not get any heat from the place. Very cool
