Samsung RF28T5101SR 28 Cu. Ft. Large Capacity 3-door French Door Refrigerator With Internal Water Dispenser

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start off by saying the appliance this replaces was also a Samsung, one which had survived three kids and three moves in twelve years, and still worked quite well before we decided to upgrade. That kind of durability definitely inspires brand loyalty. I like the design; the French Door/Bottom Freezer layout is basically the best, and this model has more room, more options, more places to put things than even the previous one. I especially like the way the inner doors are arranged, lots of room for several gallon containers, dozens of bottles, etc. But the door depth doesn't detract from the shelf storage; we've not had any problems fitting an enthusiastic grocery trip and a couple days of leftovers inside. The freezer is also well laid out, very roomy and convenient. I'm really a fan of the brushed stainless finish, but it's had the unfortunate side-effect of wanting to upgrade the entire kitchen to match :) The only "flaw," though it's really just a matter of personal preference, is I'd rather have the water dispenser on the exterior. But I was overruled, so what can a guy do? Besides, the one on the inside is tall enough for a refillable hiking/sports-type water bottle, so I'll call that a win.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using our new refrigerator now for around two weeks and I really enjoy it. The amount of space and ability to organize the refrigerator portion is amazing. I love the adjustability of the shelves. This was something we could do in our old refrigerator, but as soon as you moved a shelf either up or down, you eliminated a huge amount of room. With the split shelves in this model, we are really able to capitalize on space. The part that I thought would bother me most was using the water dispenser inside, but because the flow is fairly quick, I'm not as bothered by this as I thought I would be. The downside to the refrigerator portion is that I wish the door shelves were a little more flexible. It's a small issue though, and doesn't make me like the model any less. However. The freezer leaves something to be desired. It feels like I have little to no room, mainly due to a lack of organization and the placement of the ice. The ice bucket is nice to have but takes away a lot of room. Also, because it's not a dispenser, your options are to either get a Utensil of some sort or to use your hands to get the ice out. That's a huge dissatisfier. Then, the remainder of the freezer is sorted into two big open bins on the bottom and one next to the ice bucket on the top. You're basically piling your food on top of itself playing Tetris to get it to fit. It feels small, cramped, almost unusable. I would love it to have more of an organization scheme like the side by side we used to have. It felt like everything was crammed in there too but at least it was easy to find things! I would only recommend this model to people who do not freeze a lot of food. If you do, you'd most likely need a separate freezer unit which is annoying to have to deal with.
