Well, Spacedogb, you hit the "negative reaction" trifecta with this one, LOL. It's a Samsung, it's chock full of high-tech features, and it's connected to the internet.
Samsung appliances have great features, styling and quite often, performance. Wish they'd get their U.S. parts distribution/repair act together. A local dealer (who does his own repairs) carried the brand for a few years, then dropped it because they had problems getting parts. Nothing makes a customer more hot-under-the-collar than to be without an appliance for three or four weeks waiting for a part to arrive. I, for one, am completely in favor of smart/wi-fi appliances. We're still in the early stages of connected appliances, but there is already more useful functionality to them than there was even a year or two ago. Love that big screen. Enjoy your free high-tech fridge and may the reliability gods be with you! |

Never mind a hurricane!
I think it looks really neat and I hope you find the features useful, it sounds like you are quite restricted for space so I can see how the screen etc. could be useful - even an old fogey like me finds I turn more and more to the net and the iPad is just more clutter on the counter when space is tight, lets not even go there with laptops. Credit card points? Can't be beat, a great looking appliance for "free". I wish you many years use from it and good health to enjoy it 😊 Al |

As .. against Samsung as I was.. going into my sales job, I have come around with their fridges.
I don't understand where people say Samsung is so hard to get parts for blah blah blah. I'll give you this, their system to find the parts leaves a lot to be desired.. But we have a great service writer that has figured out the nuances of their system and they are, by far, the fastest part supplier we have. Their turn around on trouble tickets is the fastest we've seen in a long time. If you know how to use the tools they have available, they are extremely expedient. If you don't know how to use their system, hire someone that is willing to learn. Anyways, they have figured out a lot of the bugs with their fridges. They have solved a lot of the issues they were having and beefed up a lot of their components. They have one of the best sealed system/compressor warranties on the market. They are also a tech company, so this is the kind of thing they excel at. Connected homes and smart things. Congratulations on the new fridge. I hope it lasts you for many years of service. I will add that since I've started this job (7/14/15) Samsung has been the least repaired NEW product we sell. We have had a lot of GE's and Whirlpool Family products brought in after installation. Now with the Whirlpool Brand family having a hard time supplying most french door fridges, we don't move a lot of them. I hope they figure that out here pretty quick. Also, I would take the Family Hub tablet built into the fridge before I'd take a glass window that lights up any day. Once the novelty wears off, there really are a lot of useful features. Setting dates on things, keeping an inventory and the ability to keep a recipe posted as you are using it. |

I've only ever lived with a partner, and for the last few years alone, so I tend to view these innovations through that lens.
But for a household with children I could see this being useful in establishing routines and documenting schedules because everybody gets in the refrigerator in the morning.
There's a reason most refrigerators in America are covered with calendars, lists, appointment cards and sticky notes. It's a good place to disseminate that kind of information. |

If someone gave me that Samsung fridge-would go for it.Just what does the screen do on that machine-not clear as to its functions.It would not make a good TV,who wants to watch on a vertical screen? |

Tolivac It does nearly everything you can do with a smartphone. No matter what kind of app you need, there is almost always a "cool" version to put in the fridge. |
