Glad to see CD is only $200 more than full depth. It's about time! Glad to see LED's used in a fridge. It's about time! A few months ago I saw a brand new fridge model of a high end company, and they had lights everywhere throughout the interior, all "appliance halogens" hidden behind frosted round glass covers. I thought they could be LED's since this was a new model from a high end company: I was wrong.

Hmmm, we bought a standard depth Wave touch, but don't have it yet. They had an IQ touch French door, I think standard depth, on the floor at the store and the shelves did not slide out, so I am wondering if they do in the Wave touch! The side by side IQ touch shelves did slide out.

Thanks for your input. A fully integrated refrigerator allows the �doors of the refrigerator to be completely flush with the cabinets next to it. The hinges allow the door to fold into the cabinet, rather than outside it. �A �counter depth refrigerator will stick out a couple of inches, and even if panel � ready, will still show an inch or 2 of the sides of the refrigerator. I've even been told counter depth panel ready will show a bit of metal on the front door. It has to do with the door hinges. I didn't think there was a difference between built-in and fully integrated, but I could be wrong. My issue with SZ is the lack of split shelves, which we occasionally use to stand taller items like opened wine bottles or pots of soup. We are a family of four, with 2 boys 10,12 who are definitely hitting growth spurts! �The SZ FD also only comes in 36" vs JAN 42", so there is smaller capacity. I'm wondering if we shouldn't just go with panel ready counter depth so we have more brand options and see if we can customize the cabinets to hide the sides. Any thoughts , has anyone done? _______________________________

Actually, all those horror stories are probably glorified by haters, which often happens. Samsung actually has great service and repair now and their products, especially home appliances, have one of the lower returns rates in the US. If you purchase any Samsung appliance from Lowe's, and something goes wrong, Lowe's will switch it out for you. Some repairmen, who are alittle behind the times, would say that Samsung's are "awful", etc. because they didn't want to pay to be trained/educated on higher-end products. Products like Samsung are known to be higher-end but at a cost efficient price. Repairmen typically bad-mouth applainces that they can't repair because if more people purchase them, they can't fix em. And if they aren't aurthorized to fix them, they can't make money! Samsung (one of THE largest technology company in the world) does not put materials that look like they came out of a Kracker Jack box. They have a reputation to uphold. 99.9% of Samsung fridges have this technology called Twin-Cooling or Twin-Cooling Plus. Three huge benefits would be: Energy efficiency, no mixing of orders and most importantly, your foods remains fresher waaaay longer than the conventional fridge. You get similar technology from Sub-Zero and Liebherr. Those two companies produce the highest end refrigeration but their fridges have two compressors and Samsung has one. Samsung just got another award from JD Powers for the fourth year in a row now. A JD Powers award is like getting an Oscar. It cannot be planned. Thanks for reading.
