Product review (5 stars): Great large family refrigerator  in real world conditions
We purchased this refrigerator 6 months ago.  I purposely waited this long before posting a review because I read so many negative reviews about problems popping up and poor manufacturer's response to fix any issues. I wanted to see what problem we would have and how Samsung service stackjed up.  Well in 6 months not a single issue has been encountered.  I have three young children 12, 8 and 6 yrs of age that all use the appliance. They daily open/close the refrigerator doors, remove and place items on shelves, get ice, get water etc.  It has stood up beautifully to all real world conditions.  The refrigerator can be somewhat noisy the ice machine, sounds include: ice drop into holding bin, the compressor, and some other assorted other noises can be downright entertaining.  But not a single functional issue.  The size is wonderful. I could create a wish list that includes the desire that the shelving had some additional configuration possibilities for large bulk items, but I am nitpicking.  Wonderful addition to our family.  I highly recommend this model.  Maybe others have had problems but I can only speak from my own personal experience.  Hopefully it reflects the norm.
