Samsung RF261BEAESR 25.5 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator with Internal Water Dispenser in Stainless Steel

Love look of unit outside and in I love the shelves and the one that extracts half way to give more space. Control location good as is filter replacement. Freezer space very good as is ice features. Would like to have cold water button a little larger and toward door a little. Overall very good refrigerator. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Amazing !!! I bought this refrigerator almost a year ago and its like I just purchased it! Our fruits and vegetables have stayed so incredibly fresh and juicy, you don't need to purchase those airlock baggies or any other stay fresh products for your food to stay fresh! Our eggs, cheeses an milk last so much longer with a taste so cold and crisp, my children are eating better because the food tastes so fresh each time. The milk (if it lasted) is so incredibly cold,fresh an crisp, I purchase 4 gallons of milk about every week for their shakes, homemade cream, cereal, ice cream and just drinking, I wish i wasn't lactose intolerant! We're vegetarians so I can't say much about animal foods except that I'm sure it'll be just as fresh an incredible.

Ice Maker Goes bad after a short while - I could not recommend this appliance Purchased this "fridge" as a total new home appliance package 10/2013. Ice maker broker after 1 year and when purchased replacement from Samsung is not the original design as when manufactured at factory. Ice maker leaks water and ice constantly freezes not allowing the ice maker to work properly. I constantly (monthly) have to break ice in order for ice maker to work. Resetting ice maker no longer works. Now we are at a point where the ice maker does not make ice anymore. First repair service requested in 2015 and just scheduled another service visit. I could not recommend this unit. Look at another brand but more important, pay attention to warranty coverage, extended warranty if one is available and read the reviews from folks who have had the unit for a while. When an appliance is new everything works great. It is when the unit is a few years old that the quality is recognized. Not impressed with this unit at all. I will outweigh the cost to replace "vs" repair.

Stepping Into the 21st Century This is a replacement for a 10 yr old unit. We have never had water in the door or even connected ice makers for a few reasons. First the eternal threat of returning from a night or weekend out and finding your house flooded because of the compression fittings used in most of the water hookups. Second the ice always seems to retain some of the freezer odor. Third the sacrifice of storage space when considering water and ice in the door. At the urging of our children we purchased this model because it has the water dispenser inside and since we were connecting the water we decided to let the ice maker operate also. BTW the water connections are no longer compression fittings but o-ring seals. Of course one end depends on your house connection. After a week I am somewhat pleased with the convenience of the water dispenser. I also like the filtered water. However the inside water dispenser seems to always leak after using. Not a lot, perhaps 1/2 of an ounce. I have researched it online and there are two solutions, 1. keep your cup under the water stream until it stops. We do that. It is not the problem. 2. Wait until all the air is out of the system, or if it persists then air is entering the system and must be repaired. Well, it's been a week and it continues to leak. It's not worth tearing apart but it is an annoyance. The Cool Select Pantry drawer doesn't come out far enough. It is hard to get to items in the back since it is a shallow drawer (top to bottom). Love the freezer door. The handle seems to solve the problem of the hard initial pull it takes to break the seal. Also love that the top drawer of the freezer comes out with the door. The lighting is great. The door bins are extra deep. No problem holding two gallons of milk in each one. Which we do. The Quick Space Glass Shelf seems cool but can't seem to find a use for it yet. The ice maker is a bit loud but I suppose they all are. It takes three days to fill an empty ice tray. Since I have never used an ice maker before I don't know if this is normal. It seems to meet our needs. Great value.

Water System/Door/Paint The Water System: Have run the water through 1st and tossed. Still cannot drink. Any ideas? The Rt door is not flush at the top with the left door. Very light vertical scratches on front door. The freezer door handle came off when I opened. I did fix myself.
