Now for some of you, that may seem rather rude, but I swear it was the first words out of my girlfriends mouth when she saw the new fridge in my kitchen! After we stopped laughing and she stopped “man” handling the appliance, I realized it pretty close to describing how I feel about my new fridge. IT IS AWESOME!!!!

What I love most about this fridge it the layout. I had looked at many different designs from LG to Whirlpool, and what surprised me was how few fridges were organized well, and how many had drawers that were not adjustable, or spaces that seemed awkward or useless.

Ice makers as well take up a horrible amount of useful space for food, which seems rather sad when I would much rather have food than ice! This fridge does have an ice maker that is the first that I have seen that is compact and can be optionally hooked up. The way that it is organized in the freezer seems as though it doesn’t have one at all, which I like very much.

We, like every one else, tend to buy some of the same groceries from week to week. Things like orange juice, lots of cheeses, a variety of meats, and since I like to make my own salad dressings, dips, and sauces, we tend to have a lot of jarred items like soy sauce, worchestershire sauce, lemon juice, fish sauce, tobasco, and chutneys. Also, because we have three kids, we have  lots of ketchup, mustard, relish and grandma’s jam. This fridge has rather large storage for all of these items by having large pocket door shelving and best of all, a deli drawer that divides to fit both meats and cheeses.

The freezer drawer on the bottom is a feature that I could never do without since I purchased my first fridge with it over eight years ago when I was pregnant with my first daughter and thought it would be great to be able to reach the fruits and veggies drawer at a height that I could bend to.

In addition to the two pull out drawers in the freezer, there is also a pizza door to organize your frozen pizza, a feature that my husband was excited about. Obviously men and women have different priorities!

The fridge itself is energy efficient and also comes with an additional energy saving feature and since the controls can be managed by temperature rather than by dial, you can set the fridge to whatever temperature you need. This is a great way to save on energy when traveling since the fridge is often empty and not being opened and closed on a daily basis.

Our previous Amana fridge died on us after only four years of use, so having to splurge on something we hadn’t expected or saved for was frustrating and disappointing. In having to make a large purchase quickly, I really felt that in comparison to the other fridges on the market, the Samsung far out featured them for a price that was substantially less.It always feels good to get a deal even when you are spending money you really don’t have!

If you happen to be looking at purchasing a new fridge, you should really check this one out, but don’t get too excited!!

Cheers,
