OVERVIEW: The
Samsung RF265AASH has 25.8 cu. ft. of space. What's
nice is how neatly divided up that space is between 4 spill-proof
shelves, its 5 gallon sized door bins, the interior 2
vegetable bins, and a bottom-mount freezer. Although we are
fans of the Samsung Twin Cooling System, in this particular model, we
noticed that the temperature wasn't as evenly dispersed as we would
have liked. There were clear temperature variances between
the top of the refrigerator and the back of the fridge. That
said, it was only about a 1-3 degree difference. All in all,
it ran smoothly and there were no problems with the model we tested.
STYLE: The
sleek, modern styling of the Samsung RF265AASH French Door Refrigerator earns
high marks with our style experts. It should fit best in most
modern kitchen decors.
CAPACITY:
As mentioned above, we found the 25.8 cu. ft. of
space was well divided amongst the shelving and the in-door gallon
sized bins. The one thing we longed for was more separation
in and amongst the door bins. Having a lot of gallon space is
great if you need it, but sometimes you can put too much in the door
and it becomes cluttered that much more quickly.
NOTABLE
FEATURES: The Cool
Tight Doors were fantastic. These are doors
that close on their own, so you're always assured of a tight seal even
if you forget to properly close the refrigerator door. The
Cool Select Zone is best described
as a "fridge within a fridge." It allowed you to have a
seperate temperature zone within the fridge. Most fridge
models have a similar feature, but they rarely work as well as the
Samung.
COLORS: This
unit is available only in the stainless model.
EFFICIENCY:
It’s Energy Star qualified and like most of the Samsung
models, it's quite efficient. The Cool Tight Doors certainly
help keep it that way! Not only will you save money by saving energy, you'll also be entitled to receive an Energy Star Rebate.
