I recently renovated my entire kitchen and one of the most exciting purchases I made (of course) was a new refrigerator – the Samsung RF28HMEDBSR french door. Energy efficiency and eco-friendliness are important to me, so these are among the reasons for choosing this appliance – you’ll find the rest below :).
Like other top Samsung products it meets the requirements of the Energy Star 2014 guidelines. I prefer models with the fridge on top of the freezer – it just makes better sense to me! I use the fridge more often, so why not have it right at eye level?
Although it has a couple of minor flaws, I am overall very happy with my purchase. In this review I will outline some of the features of this fridge and discuss its pros and cons.

Samsung RF28HMEDBSR French Door Refrigerator is an excellent option for larger families or people who need to store large amounts of food. The large capacity and clever design allow for plenty of storage. The doors can easily hold big bottles of milk or juice.
This model also features an excellent water filter. I’ve been trying to get into the habit of drinking more water every day to improve my health and lose weight, so I find it very helpful to have a glass of fresh, cool water at the push of a button.
Another advantageous feature of French Door fridges is the way the double doors open wide. It makes everything very accessible. The LED lighting is bright (while still being power efficient) and illuminates every corner so that you can see everything easily.
I find that Samsung RF28HMEDBSR has a very attractive, modern stainless steel design – though this might just be a personal preference. It does add style to my new kitchen decor.
Relevant reviews from customers
-
Samsung RF28HMEDBSR Refrigerator Middle Drawer I’ve owned this refrigerator for almost six months now and I am very happy with it. It offers plenty of space and the lighting is excellent. It is quiet and the doors close very smoothly.
- I was slightly concerned that this fridge would stick out too much based on the advertised 36 inch dimensions. However, this was not a problem at all since it is more like 33.5 inches without the handle. The fridge fits nicely and I am very happy with the purchase.
- Finally a product that works the way it should! The interior is spacious and the water filter is excellent. I would recommend it to anyone.
