Product review (5 stars): Everything it's cracked up to be
I was able to secure this refrigerator via Best Buy (I also bought the Chef Collection dishwasher through them). The price was the best I have seen to-date.  $4,300.  I haven't seen it at this price-level since then...though it is bound to drop in price as time goes on.  Unfortunately you do get what you pay for as Best Buy has proven to be near-impossible to deal with on this and even more so on a separate Samsung dish-washer purchase.

This refrigerator was wooed-over at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2014 with one startling "preview-review" after another, plus Samsung has trotted out a bunch of celeb-chefs to make food that has little to do with their product to help grab foodies' attention.  After cutting through the marketing mumbo-jumbo we have a refrigerator with an impressive spec sheet.

Plenty of capacity, extremely high functionality of space, amazing looks inside & out, and sparkling water built-in.

The capacity numbers in cuft are impressive and it follows-through with highly usable space everywhere.  This model is very deep and also offers plenty of height where you need; along with the requisite flexible shelves to add even more head-room for tall things.  But it doesnt stop there.  For example, compared to last year's sparkling water model, this one better utilizes the space on the water-side door.  There's top-to-bottom capacity utilization on that door.  And then there is the bottom right quadrant with its flexible fridge/freezer settings.  As opposed to the main fridge and freezer which can be set at one-degree increments, the flex space has four settings.  We use it as a 30 degree fridge for leftovers, berries, meats and other items whose freeze point is lower than 32 degrees.  I've found the temperature to be very accurate.  We are currently at 39 degrees in the main part of the fridge.  When using the bottom right for fridge space most people will be awash in extra space during all but the busiest family gatherings.

The exterior is a noticeable step up vs anything Ive seen on the market.  A beautiful, dark stainless steel with horizontal grain and an extra coating to prevent fingerprints.  Minimal controls on the face; most are concealed on top of the bottom right drawer.  And there's a slick LED temp display that lights up only when engaged or when the door opens.  There are no extruding door handles which is also a plus.  Then on the inside the stainless backing that is meant to maintain temp consistency contributes greatly to a super-sharp looking interior.

The sparkling water function is one that we use daily.  Well, hourly : )  We're zealous sparkling water drinkers and this machine has been a god-send in this regard.  We love a certain mineral water, but we're tired of the bottles everywhere so we cut that back to only the more serious meals of the day and use the Samsung every other time.  It's so nice to be able to poor a smidgen of fizzy for when you need to take a pill, etc.  It's worth noting that it does not produce hyper-bubbles even at its highest setting.  We like it that way, but I don't think those that prefer Perrier or those that are looking to make copies of sweetened sodas, for example, will be pleased with the carb-level.  So take that into consideration.

The little extras like the marination trays aren't all that useful as they do not come with a cover and are not very heavy gauge.  We'll certainly use them from time-to-time, but it's not a feature that should sway a purchase decision.

Overall were thrilled with the machine and look forward to years of use...
