In-door access with Samsung's $3,000 Food Showcase fridge

2015-04-15
hey I'm seen that's right christened this is the Samsung food showcase refrigerator model number rh2 9h 9000 SR now Samsung sells a couple of different food showcase models at this point this is the 3000 dollar model and it's a 36 inch wide twenty-eight point five cubic foot capacity refrigerator with eighteen point four cubic feet of that dedicated to the fridge inside is a pretty basic build about a lot of exciting features no humidity controls on the crispers down here no uh turbine no spill proof shelving not a lot of places to move those shelves no shelves you can fold up out of the way nothing like that but I close the fridge and then open it again from the bottom half it opens this food showcase door and this is just the front shelving inside the door if you have access to by opening this front panel now that's kind of a neat novelty but I'm not sure that it's that practical you're not really getting that much more by opening the food showcase store to access those indoor shelves it does make those lower in door shells a lot more accessible for kids if you wanted to store juice boxes or pudding cups there so your kids could get to it it's a nice place for that performance-wise the samsung food showcase refrigerator did a nice job in terms of the actual refrigerator capacity those main shelves inside the body of the thing but the indoor shelving and those drawers at the bottom didn't do as great they were a little warm in all of our tests especially the bottom half of that door temperatures were 10 degrees or more above our target temperatures and well above the 40 degree benchmark that the FDA set for food safety so I'm not a big fan of that you wouldn't want to store any delicate ingredients in the door here you almost certainly want to put it in the body the fridge to keep it fresher the bottom line is that this is a great looking fridge that doesn't quite deliver in terms of performance or features so for that reason I'm probably passing on it especially given the fact that there is a model that costs about a thousand dollars less it looks just like it has a slightly smaller capacity and that's about all you're losing I'd rather have that than this or you might also consider one of LG's door and door refrigerators that's a similar feature to the food showcase here and we liked it a little bit better it's more intuitive and didn't compromise performance quite so much thanks for watching and check out the rest of our refrigerator reviews at cnet.com for seen that appliances I'm right Chris you
