The Samsung refrigerator is a frequent choice of customers when it comes to functional, high-quality and durable appliances. Considering that the country of origin is Korea, the equipment really justifies the promises made by the manufacturer and the recognition of buyers. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of Samsung refrigeration appliances. You will also find a rating of popular household models with characteristics, prices and user reviews.
Features
Korean assembly technique is trusted by millions, including experts and craftsmen. All experts who have dismantled this equipment at least once speak of the high quality of all components. The specifics of production determined a number of features of Samsung two-chamber refrigerators. They are as follows:
- High-quality electronic modules that compare favorably with any analogues of competitors. Button and touch controls are equally competent. The settings set by the user are implemented within a couple of seconds. The “weak” point is only the display, which can lose the accuracy of its indication. After 7-8 years of use, the module responsible for the indication burns out. As a result, instead of 6 degrees of heat, you can see 1 or 0 on the dial. This does not affect operation, but complicates control.
- Each model has a high-quality motor-compressor that uses isobutane as a refrigerant. Such motors serve without failures for at least 10 years. In addition, Korean engineers managed to create a truly silent No Frost. In the complex you get a quiet and durable device.
- Economical use is one of the principles that guide developers when creating aggregates. Therefore, all the latest lines are produced with energy efficiency class A and above.
Advantages and disadvantages
Doubt whether to take a two-chamber model with No Frost? To determine in advance the profitability of such an investment, it is worth considering the advantages and disadvantages of technology.
Positive points:
- The volume of the two-chamber unit will be enough for the needs of any family, and thanks to its compact dimensions and pleasant design, you can place the equipment in any room.
- Sophisticated ergonomics inside the compartments.
- Full automatic defrosting.
- Quiet operation of the device. The decibels indicated on the information sticker are not underestimated, but are real indicators.
There are also disadvantages:
- “Gentle” finish on the case, which may be scratched or fingerprinted.
- Often the price is much higher than other brands ask for the same functionality.
Advantages of the RB Series
Every third buyer consciously chooses equipment from the latest lines – no wonder, because the latest developments combine all the best that was invented and implemented earlier. Therefore, we propose to consider the advantages of the new line from Samsung – RB.
Functionality and ease of use
The difference between the new “Samsungs” is their large capacity with modest dimensions. The doors provide for adjusting the compartments for arranging containers of any height. There is also a transformer shelf that folds up, rises and falls or is completely removed. There are separate models that will accommodate an entire wine bar on a special “bottle” shelf.
The compactness of the case is explained by the thinnest thermal insulation materials involved in the design. At the same time, the insulation does an excellent job of keeping the cold inside the equipment and does not allow the penetration of heat from the outside. This technology is called Space Max Technology and is aimed at increasing the useful volume of compartments without increasing the size, with minimal power consumption.
Humidity under control
The new line received Twin Cooling Plus technology, thanks to which the cameras have separate cooling. Each of the compartments has its own evaporator and fan, so the temperature and humidity in the compartment is set at the most optimal level. This keeps food fresh and tasting longer and prevents odors from mixing.
Freshness zone
“Freshness chambers” are designed to preserve the appearance and taste of especially delicate products. In offices called Fresh Zone or Chef Zone, they store fresh meat and fish (they do not tolerate freezing well) and other products. Detailed description on the page: “What is the freshness zone in the refrigerator.”
Even distribution of cold air flows with All-around Cooling technology. This is facilitated by the presence of ventilation near each shelf. Now the entire chamber maintains a constant temperature set by the user for perfect preservation of food.
Convenient freezer
The full extension of the freezer shelves is one of its main advantages. This gives the user access to the entire depth of the drawer for easy loading and unloading of frost.
Full No Frost
If in refrigerators of other brands, such as “Ariston” or “Indesite”, Know Frost can only be found in the freezer, then Samsung is a complete Know Frost. There is no frost and ice neither in the first nor in the second compartment. Also, this function speeds up the cooling of food to improve the energy efficiency of the appliance.
LED lights
Bright, powerful and economical LED lamp perfectly illuminates all areas and shelves. The main plus is a long service life. Forget about replacing incandescent lamps, take a step towards savings and quality lighting.
inverter motors
In the RB line, inverter-type digital compressors are widely used. This reduced the noise to 37 decibels.
A load is evenly applied to such a motor, which is regulated by a digital inverter compressor, and operates in one of 7 power modes. All this prolongs the duration of the motor and gives another big plus to the efficiency of the appliance as a whole. In addition, these compressors are characterized by smooth operation and maintaining stable temperature indicators, which increases energy efficiency.
Samsung issues an official guarantee for motors for at least 10 years.
The lineup
All refrigerators of the Samsung brand can be divided into four categories, depending on the location and type of freezer:
- with top and bottom freezer;
- with an inverter type compressor;
- with Side-by-Side body type;
- with French Door case.
On sale you can find not only traditional models for 2 chambers, but also small single-chamber, double-leaf Side-by-Side, with three chambers. According to statistics, the most popular model today is a two-door with the No Frost function.

Very good not noisy device, works perfectly, the products cool down quickly. I found only one drawback – the walls are too thin, dents can easily appear, while they were loading and installing, 2 were picked up, fortunately, they are not visible. You need to work very carefully with the display, especially in a small kitchen: if you don’t notice and accidentally hit the sensor, you can knock down all modes and even turn off the refrigerator. There are only positive emotions about the freezer – it works perfectly, it keeps the promised -18 degrees inside.
Semyon, Moscow
Huge, simply immense beautiful refrigerator! Works very quietly. It has no cons – well, at least I did not find it. Is that the price – a little taken aback when I found out how much it costs (our parents gave us for the wedding). Before switching on, I read reviews for some reason and was very nervous that the Koreans would let me down and slip me a defective thing. And in the end: it does not make noise, freezes and looks presentable.

I took it because I needed a complete Nou Frost. It turned out that he was roaring like a beast. Before that, there was “Ariston”, and so did not resent. Can be heard from the next room, disturbing sleep. Disgusting.

Does not make noise in use. I like that it doesn’t need to be defrosted. It looks very stylish, especially the display on the door. No problems so far and the price is good.
Arina, Moscow
I like my refrigerator – a large freezer, it works quietly if there is no light, it keeps the temperature, dry freezing and other functions. I will immediately upset those who are used to putting large 3-liter cans on the shelves – it will not work. You can remove one shelf, but there will be less space. Worked for 1,5 years, everything is stable without breakdowns and failures. I’m glad I didn’t fall for the cheap Aristons, two of my friends (they took them almost at the same time) broke down a long time ago.
RB-37 J5240EF
Refrigerator with electronically controlled bottom freezer, energy efficiency class A+. One compressor runs on R600a freon – isobutane. This is a relatively narrow refrigerator, as the dimensions of the case: 59,5x67x201 cm. This model comes with a freshness zone, No Frost in both compartments and a Vacation mode.
Freezing capacity (capacity) is up to 12 kg of products per day. Autonomous preservation of temperature up to 18 hours is provided. The instructions indicate the presence of such options as super-freezing. Like many large refrigerators, this cabinet has a total volume of 367 liters (98 and 269 liters). Noise – up to 37 decibels.
The cost is from 40 rubles.

At first I wanted to buy a mirror refrigerator with Cool-n-Cool, but then I decided to choose this one. It has a rather pleasant appearance, good capacity, each shelf is where it should be – everything is thought out to the smallest detail. How to adjust the temperature is quite clearly written in the instructions. It works quietly, no need to defrost – a fairy tale!
Important! Separately, I would like to note the built-in refrigerators. Samsung has only a few models: the built-in RL-27 TDFSW or RL-27 TEFSW, which, unfortunately, are practically not on sale in the Russian Federation.
Conclusion. Samsung refrigerators are modern, functional and stylish appliances, therefore they deserve both the recognition of experts and the gratitude of buyers. You just have to choose a model with suitable parameters – a good choice!
