New Samsung French Door fridge
Comments (8)bjeanne, I saw the new Samsung today at Best Buys. It was sitting next the the GE Profile. The big difference I saw between the two was in how accessible the freezers are. I know that the Samsung says it's 29 cubic feet and the GE is only 24.5 but the refrigerator space seemed comparable. What I like about the GE was that the freezer had two separate pullout drawers. The Samsung had the one freezer drawer with an upper shelf that slid over a deeper compartment. It seemed to me that the upper freezer drawer/shelf in the Samsung was not as easy to access as the separate upper freezer drawer in the GE Profile. In fact the only way I could reach everything in the upper level drawer of the Samsung was by opening the french doors of the refrigerator. How is this working out for you? Do you find that the upper freezer drawer/shelf is accessible or do you have to work to get things in and out?...See MoreFYI: Samsung french door fridge with ice and water in door
Comments (35)Hello all, My wife and I ordered a Maytag Ice2O FD fridge a month or so ago (for a very good price), but were never really thrilled with how the fridge looked - don't like the appearance of the ice/water dispenser. What we did like was the freezer drawers. We loved that the drawers are not wire baskets, and that they both come out when the freezer is opened. After hearing of many problems with the circuit boards on the Ice2O, we diceided to look into other brands. As our other appliances will be mostly GE, we were looking at some GE FD fridges. The PFSS6PKWSS seemed to be the best of the bunch, including the new models with 2 separate freezer drawers. We noticed that on some of the fridges, the deli drawer smacks right into the french doors if the doors are not completely open (which we will not be able to do due to a wall on one side of the fridge). The PFSS6PKWSS has a deli drawer that opens up with the french doors open 90 degrees, but my wife was upset that the shelves did not pull forward like on the Ice2O. We knew that Samsung makes the PFSS6PKWSS for GE, and found the Samsung RF267AARS at a Best Buy to look at. We verified that the interiors are exactly the same, except for clear plastic bins on the french doors (they are white on the GE). After pretty much deciding to stick with the Ice2O because of the pull-out shelves, we happened to tug on one of the Samsung fridge shelves and voila! It slid forward, a few inches farther than the Ice2O shelves even! I think we have decided to go ahead and cancel our Ice2O order, and go with the Samsung RF267AARS. So, you Samsung owners out there, how have the fridges been working, how quiet are they, and do you had any complaints about them? Thanks for any replies....See Moresamsung french door frig--any opinions?
Comments (24)>>"JWVideo, do you think Kitchenaid is a better product/buy because of their longer warranty of the sealed system?"No. I asked that same question a couple of months ago when I first started looking for a bigger fridge. (A bigger fridge is the only reason I am looking into a new fridge.) I was unable to find any reliable list of specific components used in Amana, Whirlpool, Maytag, Whirlpool Gold and KA fridges. I resorted to secondary sources: two long-term employees of two reputable local vendors and our very knowledgeable local appliance repair company. All three told me that Whirlpool had recently standardized sealed system components for all five lines. The differences between the lines are mainly in the internal components (i.e., the quality and design of drawers), features and some cosmetics. For example, the 21.7 cu. ft. Kitchenaid KBFS22EWWH and Whirlpool GX2FHDXVQ are the same chassis and sealed system components. As best I can tell, the differences between the WP and KA versions are these: (a) the KA model has an interior water dispenser while the WP does not have a water dispenser of any kind; (b) the KA has slightly heavier-duty bins and drawers for the crispers etc. and the freezer compartment; and, (c) if you look at the stainless steel version, the KA has a nicer finish on the doors and grey-metallic sides while the WP/G has black-painted sides and a not-so shiny finish on the doors. To me, it seemed as though price difference between the KA and the WP models was for the water dispenser and an extended warranty on the KA sealed system components. In researching extended warranties, many struck me as old-fashioned 14-carat bamboozles because many companies' warranty service seems so bad. In my area, I would never buy an extended warranty from Sears because the local branch of their service company has such a terrible reputation and their extended warranties are twice as expensive as others. (Why pay more for less?) Some local folks have given me positive reviews of about service from the local Lowe's. (All of them, incidentally, being folks who bought another brand of fridge and now own Samsung FD units. Samsung has a reputation for hostile warranty service personnel and a difficulty in obtaining replacement parts.) If I could get an extended warranty from WP that would allow me to have service from the appliance repair company in the next town, I might consider one. Unfortunately, when I contacted WP customer service, I was told they would not answer any questions unless I had actually purchased an appliance. Several friends have told me that WP is using the same group of inept low-bid service companies who handle Sears' warranty service. (Call and make an appointment that will be two to four weeks away. This is for somebody comes out to verify that you have a warranty problem. They may or may not show up. Then make you wait another two to three weeks to get an appointment from somebody who does not know how to fix your fridge, etc. etc.) There may be other extended warranty services or plans. I've seen several posts here where folks report being happy with SqaureTrade warranty insurance. I'll be checking into that, but, at this point, I'm with your husband on this one....See MoreLG vs. Samsung French Door Fridge
Comments (17)Jeri - We just purchased the 950TT this morning from HD. It's last year's model and is now down to $1849 @ HD and $1844 @ Lowes. The 960 is this years model. It's the one with the Tilt Freezer Door. There are some other sutble differences as well and some not so sutble. Other ways to visually tell the two apart is by the display. The 950 has individual buttons while the 960 allows selections with contacts hidden under a membrane,... or is it membrain. Can't remember!! The 950 is accented with light gray plastic and the 960 sports black plastic. The 950 is Titanium while the 960 is Stainless,... TT vs ST. And the 960's internal shelfing and compartments looks a lot more modern. I was lucky (as far as price is concerned),... I got mine (new in box from warehouse) from HD for $1475.99 after a Lowes price match + 10% and some other discounting. $1604.80 after taxes and delivery charges. Not bad! Does anyone know of any performance or quality difference between the two? Stuff deeper than the eye can see?...See Moreweissman
