This Samsung fridge didn't quite stand out

2015-10-05
I have seen that's right Crist and I'm standing next to the e here we go Samsung RF and this is a mid-range French door fridge so it's in that kind of first class of French four models with an ice maker in the door and a digital display open the fridge up and you'll find sixteen point six cubic feet of fresh food storage space not a bad number but not a great one either it gets beat out by a couple that the close competitors you'll also find a number of features that help set this fridge apart from lower tier French door models every one of these four shelves moves in some way this one on the bottom slides in these two slide out and this one appear folds up to make room for taller items those are all nice for flexibility but I wish they were more flexible they don't really move that well they're kind of stiff and sticky and when you try and slide them out or push them out of the way you have to use a little extra force I don't like that I have similar problems with the build of the drawers down below you've got two crisper drawers both of them rattle as you pull them out and kind of shake the cool select pantry down here though is the worst you pull it out and really have to work to get it back in I didn't like that at all it's a nice feature with its own thermostats you can adjust from temperature presets but I still think I would never use it just cuz I hate opening and closing it this fridge earns a little bit of redemption though when you look at the performance scores take a look at our heat map here it's got the usual blue and orange sections but you look in the middle of the fridge the body of the fridge there those are all very accurate nice cold numbers we see other French door models that store up above the 39 40 degree mark you don't want to see that this fridge didn't have any problems like that in the body of the fridge all-in-all this fridge gets enough right to merit consideration but it is a bit pricey and I don't think it's quite the standout that it needs to be for more check out my full review at cnet.com see that appliances I'm right Chris
