This fridge has to be one of the most uniquely designed fridges in the market, as you're able to customize colors of each panel. I think it's as equally quiet as a previous Samsung french door style I had, but is aesthetically very pleasing to the eyes. We wanted the white and green panels on the fridge to match by getting mint colored cabinets, but we ended up getting a different colored cabinets. Even then, it looks awesome in our kitchen. While our guests all end up checking it out, it's a bit tedious having to guide them on how to open it and dispense water, etc. Oh, the automatically filling pitcher is awesome too!
