Samsung is known worldwide for a large variety of products, from kitchen appliances to mobile, computing, photo and other home appliances. Their products generally recommend themselves, and the brand couldn’t have become so powerful by sheer marketing force. Nonetheless, we’re not here to praise Samsung, but rather to review its products, and today it just happens that we’re looking at one of their refrigerators, the Samsung RF268ABRS French-Door Refrigerator. Besides the beautiful model with door-in-door feature that allows you to rummage for produce with ease, we have to take a look at some of its specs and features in order to give you the opportunity to take a decision for yourselves.
Pros
The Twin-Cooling System that the Samsung RF268ABRS French-Door Refrigerator benefits from ensures constant generation of cooling for the refrigerator and the freezer separately, thus guaranteeing each part of the refrigerator does its job accordingly. Therefore, the air in the freezer is maintained dry, while the refrigerator keeps a level of 42% humidity, ideal to store your foods and drinks for long periods of time. Refrigerator reviews also mention its CoolSafe doors that seal perfectly every time you close the door. Other features that we thought were perfect for summer days are the Power Freeze and the Power Cool features, that help you cool down beverages or desserts in matters of minutes, so you can enjoy them as quickly as possible. Furthermore, like all self-respecting brands lately, Samsung has invested in energy economizing as well, so this Samsung refrigerator is Energy Star compliant.
The capacity on this refrigerator is quite large, at 26 cu. ft., enough to fulfill the needs of an average family. Some of you may also find the gallon door bins very useful, because they allow you to personalize and optimize storage space. The semi-transparent shelves are made from tempered glass, and they have spill proof features. Other than that, it is also fitted with egg shelf, dairy shelves, CoolSelect pantry for special produce, and an amazing wine rack. The freezer features two large opaque bins and an in-door pizza pocket. It seems like the Samsung RF268ABRS French-Door Refrigerator is made to meet consumer needs before consumers even knew they had them.
Cons
Refrigerator reviews mention that the Samsung RF268ABRS French-Door Refrigerator features an EZ-Open handle at a height accessible for children, so they can reach for their favorite snacks any time. We on the other hand are not convinced this is the best marketing strategy, and this feature makes it unfit for families where the parents don’t want their children to have unlimited access to the fridge. Indeed, it is not a disadvantage per se, but it should be mentioned nonetheless so people know what they’re buying. Furthermore, this refrigerator features an exterior ice maker that provides cool water, ice cubes and crushed ice on demand, in just minutes. Unfortunately, like with other brands and models that have exterior ice and water dispensers there have been complaints about noises, water leaking, and even ice cubes falling out of the blue.
We should mention that these cases are isolated, and sometimes there may be problems with the installation and not the product itself. However it is good to know about these issues as well, to know how to prevent them at least. We forgot to mention that this refrigerator has stainless steel finish and its freezer is located in the bottom part of the appliance. That being said, we hope this information will help you decide whether this appliance is suitable for your household.
