Love it!
So far so good! I must have spent HOURS reading reviews on refrigerators before settling on this one. Seems they all ALL have one issues or another. I think a lot of it just comes down to personal preference, which is hard to know until you own it. We were upgrading from an older GE profile side-by-side SS fridge that suddenly died (while we were on vacation of course). After several trips to Home Depot and Lowes testing out different designs, this fit the bill when it came to size, look, design, and price. It also had a lot more reviews on the HD and Lowe's websites, with most being positive. I decided to purchase it through the seller on Amazon since it was about $500 cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe's Memorial Day appliance sale price. I knew I was taking a risk with delivery, but took a chance thinking "hey, we've moved fridges before". Overall the delivery process was smooth. I didn't receive notification from the shipping company right away, so called and from then on they were ON IT and gave me updates almost daily. The shipping info did say it would only be delivered curb side in certain states, but CA was not on there so was hoping they'd bring it all the way in. Turns out it was too wide for our front door, and removing door hinges etc is against their policy, so it was left in the garage. Not going to lie, getting it into the house was a bit of a nightmare and the only reason I may consider spending more next time and having HD or Lowes deliver (assuming they bring it in no matter what obstacles). Had to take the front door off the door hinges, remove a patio light, and even with 2 big guys and a commercial dolly, it leaned against our outside brick wall and dented a small area.The dent is small, but seeing it is a constant reminder for my husband so we will be purchasing a new left door (fyi, no magnets will stick to the area to cover it). Replacement left door is $200 on Sears parts, so even with a new door, the fridge was still cheaper than HD or Lowes.Not going to list all the pros because they're covered in other reviews. I will say the showcase door though is fabulous for households with kids. I stick their drinks and snacks in there for easy access and they don't have to call me every 5 sec saying they can't find something (heaven forbid it's not right in front of their face and they have to move something over...same goes for the husband). Also, we have friends/family over frequently and this is a good place to put water/beer/soda etc so people aren't rifling through your fridge judging your food purchases :) I was also worried about fingerprints since our last SS fridge was hard to keep clean and stainless steel cleaners only streaked and made it look worse. Happy to report that smudges and fingerprints clean up beautifully on this one with Weimans SS cleaner. Looks as good as new (aside from the dent...grrr) after that.Some cons are: 1) the water/ice maker dispenser sits at an angle to where it's easy for water/ice to overshoot the cup 2) condiment space on the left door isn't the best with the ice maker taking up room, but I've still been able to fill it up with smaller condiment bottles 3) no egg storage, but really, is it that big of a deal to keep them in the carton? Sure it looks nicer, but it always seemed liked unnecessary work moving them from the carton to a plastic tray. If it's that important, sure you could buy an egg storage tray on Amazon for a few bucks.Overall we are totally happy with our new fridge.

Good frig. Ice maker terrible. Don’t buy
Update almost 4 years. The ice maker is constantly freezing up now. The warranty is expired so not much I can do about except she’ll out hundreds of dollars out of pocket. If you look for reviews you’ll see hundreds of people having the same problem. Samsung won’t recall the ice maker. I see now what a terrible design it is. Don’t buy any Samsung frig with this type of ice maker.Owned it 2 years now. Good frig. My only complaint is ice maker jams up from time to time. I get a chisel and clear off ice thats blocking/preventing ice makes from dropping cubes. Not sure if theres a better way. The deli tray on the bottom requires that both doors be open to access. Overall im happy with purchase.

Do NOT buy
Every single one of our drawers and shelves have cracked or broken in the last three years. Ice maker is awful. I will never buy a Samsung refrigerator again.

Attractive, Quiet, and Functional
We recently had to replace a fantastic looking and well designed LG LFXS30726 French Door refrigerator after the compressor failed in just over 1year. After 4 attempts to fix and our research indicating that this is a frequent event for the LGs, we were finally given the option to select a replacement. Warranties (in the case via Sears), are not honored quickly. We had plenty of time to do a ton of research and what we found is a general lack of quality across the board with most all modern refrigerators. Really sad. While they are quite elegant and feature rich these days, they just don't seem to last long. Samsung , overall, appeared to have a better life span that others though they have a common Achilles heel and that is the Ice Maker. Really.. can't this just be fixed? This model has been available since 2014. I have read that some engineering changes have been incorporated into the model and replacement parts will now address some of the flaws but it took years to get there. We have had our refrigerator for about 4 Months at the time I write this. So far, all is well and even the Icemaker is working just fine. Did we get lucky to have some of the new engineering? Who knows... time will tell. Overall I really like the unit.Pros: -Attractive Appearance and matches my Samsung Gas Stove (just a bonus) - I like the 3rd Door to grab convenience items like milk and such. It also has sliding shelves in a frosted blue -Quiet compressor - Controls easy to use - Ice maker is working perfectly - Freezer is very functional with multi drawers - Storage Space is decent and shelves adjustable - Filter is easy to change - Water dispenser is just fine, LG was better in design but it did not cool the water like this - seems well build and sturdyCons: - Ice maker takes up a large space in the upper left of the fridge - Storage Area on the left door is not very good because of the Ice maker design where it meets the dispenser - so again.. the Ice maker strikes. The undependable LG has a slim design ice maker that we really like but need to remember it did not cool or freeze our stuff for very long...We will likely purchase the extended warranty given the issues people have been having across all manufacturer lines these days. Not many can afford to buy $2500+ appliances every few years. Refrigerators are considered a durable good but that classification may not be fitting given what I have been finding with research and word of mouth. I hope this model continues to function well. I will update this review if it does not. So far.. I am happy with this unit.
