It's not the cheapest by quite a stretch, but if you're reading this you're probably like me, chasing longer term savings on the one appliance you never turn off. I hadn't appreciated how much the energy saving selective cooling would also contribute to reducing noise, but it really is quiet, barring the occasional muffled dispensing of the ice cube tray. This has been crucial to us, switching up to an open plan kitchen/diner/lounge setup, but I'm pleased to report the fridge is quieter than expected (though ours is boxed into the kitchen cabinets). It's been quite a step up in storage for us, and we previously had to think very carefully about what frozen food we could actually fit. No more: there is ample freezer and fridge space for a busy family here.
My only gripe is the (still) external filter cartridge where other manufacturers have managed to switch over to front facing ports to easily swap them out. As is, you will have to have a sensible chat with your plumber about the best point of access for an external isolator valve and mount for the filter. I'm happy with ours, but I hope Samsung move onto accessible internal filters going forward.
That's the only minor gripe really, but I can't the product itself, which has been working merrily for two weeks now. Thank you AO for the speedy delivery and hookup.
