Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Great space and look

JRH63 11/28/2016

Looks great in the kitchen and I love the space or the refrigerator! The internal water dispenser is great to have but I find that from time to time it will splash water into the fridge when filling a glass.

Still need improvement

dsciel 2/23/2016

It's a great refrigerator overall. I love design of the product and it give so many features that i would need such as water dispenser inside the refrigerator which is an excellence design as i hate the ones located on the french door outside of the refrigerator. However, my family owned another model(RF26HFENDSR) and it has a popping sound. My family hated it because it's very annoying. I thought this is a step up model compared to that one and I liked the design of Samsung, so I gave it a shot. Very disappointing that it still has that sound ever since i own it(about a month running it). It as loud as the RF26HFENDSR but it's noticeable. I hope Samsung's product can improve the stability and durability in addition to its great design product lines.

Cheap Shelves

Pcrow 10/11/2014

Love my beautiful fridge and the great design and features. Until 1 month after the 12 month warranty and 3 of the door shelves have now cracked and are broken. There's just little tiny clear plastic tabs that are holding the whole shelf in place and they crack from normal wear and tear.
