Product review (5 stars): Samsung RF34H9960S4
After (30) years it was high time to replace my aging GE 2 door fridge (24 cu ft) which still runs great. This was a project I have been postponing for years as the old GE fridge was set up inside a custom made niche (or cubby) back in 1985. Essentially the old GE fridge sat inside the adjacent laundry room. With the advent in technology, fridges too I realized have grown a lot in volume & features. So eventually I demolished the old cubby & rebuilt it to house this specific Samsung fridge that I bought through Amazon from US Appliances.com. I visited Best Buy to get a hands on feel for this fridge & compare shop with others. This Samsung fridge is the Bentley of all fridges. I compared it to Sub Zero, Viking, Kitchenaid, Thermador which at far higher prices were far more shallower in depth. Nice facade. But not even close in volumetric capacity to the Samsung (34.3 cu ft). My old GE was the top of the line back in 1985 and I was about to do my last fridge upgrade until I die. (I am in my mid 50s). So I wanted the best in class regardless of brand name & price. This Samsung I assure all is the very best in its class and is a bargain for everything it does and offers. The Vikings and Sub zeros at double the price can not hold a candle by it.
Ok. I purchased it along with the Gas Samsung Chef Collection cooking range & micro wave from US Appliance.com for a full make over in my kitchen. I did not buy the dishwasher as my GE profile dishwasher in bisque matches the Kraftmaid ivory/cream cabinetry. And I hardly ever even use it. So left it alone. Blends in well. Btw, the Samsung Gas slide in cooking range is a pro unit and seriously recommended. It has a power burner that does pan broiled Tender loin and NY strip steaks to absolute divine perfection. Talks the walk and walks the talk. It is excellent.

Back to the Samsung fridge. This is a 4 door fridge. It has 2 compressors and 3 evaporators. This is not for the faint of heart. This is the Chef Collection fridge. And Highly recommend you shop around as Best Buy and Home Depot sell this for $5500/ less 10% plus sales tax. US appliance had the best price. Hands down.

Fridge arrived as scheduled and was dropped off with the other appliances by truck on my back deck via my back yard alley access gate. I had to down load the manual to "study up" and understand this fridge. I had to dismount the 4 doors for it to go through my standard 36" wide front mahogany & leaded glass door. It would not fit through my back Pella sliding door. I made these discoveries somewhat in aftermath after the appliances were delivered as I was overseas on business and had no time a month earlier when purchased online. My fault. This is a VERY BIG fridge. I did have its dimensions embedded in my mind from several trips to Best Buy and online too as I had to totally remodel the fridge cubby or niche with the carpenters and sheet rock guys. That was a $1200/ job labor & materials in itself. Remember: No more fridge upgrades until I die. OK

I decided to tackle the Samsung installation myself and hired 2 supermen: Caveman and Samson from a friend's shop. I borrowed a friend's fridge dolly with strap. We moved the Samsung around the block to the front door of my house "doorless". I removed all 4 doors myself. Reasonably easy and straight forward. I did follow the online downloaded print out instructions very carefully. The top left door is heavier than the others. Several electrical wire connectors had to be disconnected. At the bottom corners there are 2 plastic covers held in place with 1 screw that hides the wire connectors. These were also removed to access the connectors.

It was quite a job to roll in this Samsung through my front door, living rm, dining rm and finally kitchen. It got stuck at the 32" wide dining to kitchen door. Mind you that door was already removed off its hinges. This fridge is actually wider than stated without its doors. I had to pry out the frame door stop trim for it to enter the kitchen. It was a Herculean task but I handled it well and was in full control. The fridge was finally docked into its custom cubby. Plugged it in and got it running. The bottom half failed to go down in temp. Interior lights bottom half did not come on. Upper half which is all fridge worked fine. Also door ajar alarm was going off continuously. Left side doors did not align with right side doors. Many issues and more. Called US appliances who summoned Samsung who scheduled a Samsung tech visit. He was dismayed with the issues and recommended replacing it by US appliances. US appliances did not want to have anything to do with this fridge and its issues. Long story short Samsung tech ordered many parts inc a control board & returned in 4 days to fix all issues. Samsung tech initially had no knowledge of this model but when he returned he did. He refitted the small plastic feet covers at bottom corners and leveled the front feet & this fixed all issues. I held off on refitting the plastic covers at bottom corners as fridge leveling needed tweaking. He educated himself & me that there are small magnets inside these plastic covers that make the difference to the bottom half working as designed or not. Would have never thought so. But true. Also handbook found inside fridge makes no mention of the importance to refit bottom plastic covers. I had to buy the CO2 soda stream cylinders from Amazon subsequently and it has now been installed (very simple to do).
Samsung tech was here a week ago and the fridge has been working perfectly ever since. It is very quiet and I have tested and monitored all functions and temp settings. The upper half is all fridge and temp can be set from +34 F to +44 F and its amazing. Also very, very spacious inside. The bottom left is only a freezer and works perfectly. Temp can be digitally and precisely set between  plus 5 F to minus -8 F. The bottom right has 4 settings: Freezer (aligns itself with the adjacent Freezer temp settings of +5F to - 8F), Soft freeze (+23F), Chill (+30 deg F), Cool (+41 deg F). This is so awesome. It offers immense flexibility to customize this bottom right corner in so many ways. For perspective: 32 degrees F = 0 degrees Celsius which is the temp at which water turns to ice. With this fridge we have precise control of each compartment. And what a difference does this make to the food we store and marinate prior to cooking.
Then it has the "Power freeze" function that allows rapid cooling down. And has the E function where you can monitor and control several fridge functions remotely via your smart phone (with a downloaded app). And marinating stainless trays; and cleverly designed pull out shelves, trays, bins and what have you. My old GE sounded like a Peterbilt diesel truck every time it cycled on and off. It was LOUD. You can NOT hear this fridge. It is whisper quiet. And again: it is CAVERNOUS and CAPACIOUS. And subtle and modest on the front/outside. Neatly tucked in handles. And the starlight temp display is very cool too. I did buy the extended warranty and with so much high technology and electronics and sensors inside its sheer good sense to get the extended warranty lest some thing goes awry after the first year which is fully covered by Samsung.

Note of advice: This is not your average plug & play fridge. It is super high tech. & super huge. Be prepared to be very patient to have it all sorted out before you rant & rave. The Samsung after sales support team and Samsung tech were absolutely excellent. It has a capacity of 34.3 cubic ft or about 34 paper bags of groceries. That much won't even fit in my old 740iL BMW in 1 trip. So never have any worries to run out of space after a Thanksgiving dinner or Wedding/Birthday Party. Bottom right quadrant doubles up as either a Fridge or Freezer or in between. Its a first for a fridge to have 2 compressors & 3 evaporators. Very pleased and will report back in 6 months if any issues. Meanwhile looks like a Bentley and runs like one too. I was so tickled to hear the S. Korean Samsung tech report to his supervisor on phone on his 1st visit : "Look like Bentley, but working like Kia. Too many problems. Better to exchange." Of course he was impressed by the Bentley GTC Speed in my driveway when he arrived. I have positioned the old GE fridge to a garage apartment. Who knows! It could be my backup if this fails with all its electronics and gadgetry. Like my old Honda.
