Samsung RF265AARS

18 years ago

Hello everyone!

Finally after months and months of lurking and posting about a variety of appliances I am actually going to go out an buy one! Future Shop(Canada)has the Samsung SS FD, bottom freezer on sale for $1999--$700 off the retail price. I think that's pretty good, considering I looked up Lowes online and for me to go across the border and pick one up in the States it would cost $1849 plus duty. Does anyone else have this model and are they happy with it? Tell me soon-I have until the 15th of January.

    I just bought one from Lowes. I really like it so far. It was scratch and dent for $1150. I'm not sure if it's the same model, mine has the ice and water on the door. The only thing I notice is that it makes kind of a high-pitched noise at certain times. I think it's kind of on the loud side, definately noticable, but my husband doesn't think so. Since it was a unit that was returned and repaired, I'm not sure it this sound is normal. Other than that, it's great. We just went shopping today and were impressed with how much we could fit into the freezer. We only shop about once a month, so we have A LOT of frozen food. I think you should go for it.

    Just had a RF266AASH delivered a few days ago. Pretty much the same refrigerator except the 266 has an internal water dispenser.

    Really impressed with it. Extremely quiet - do not even know it is one. More spacious than the side by side KA we replaced. Chilled down very quickly. Doors are well built and open / close nicely. The french door layout works well

    Plus I like that Samsung has beenn at the top of JD Powers refrigerator rankings 3 years in a row now. We had looked initially at an LG - but were concerned about the door seals (the LG doesn't come with the movable center post attached to one door like all other french doors do)

    I went to Coast Wholesale today to see if they would price match Future shop at $1999. They wouldn't do it unless I would purchase 3 or more appliances through them. That would be alright if they carried everything I wanted. At first they tried telling me it was a floor model Future shop was trying to get rid of, but I went back to the store and checked and Future shop had 95 units in stock. CW couldn't figure out how they were managing to sell them at such a great cost-I'm just grateful that they are!

    Okay, this is the first fridge I have ever purchased. All my other units have come with the houses I have moved into, therefore older. My goodness, but this is a deep fridge! Does anyone else find that? I hate to think of it sticking way out beyond the counters(does that bother you?). Fortunately the wall behind it is the garage, so I think we'll have a recess built so that it will look counter depth.

    Can anyone who recently purchased the Samsung RF265AARS french door model from Best Buy (USA) verify that this model has an internal water dispenser

    To the best of my knowlegde the fridge does not have an internal dispenser. It does have an internal filter I believe(I suppose for the water going to the ice maker).

    The Samsung RF265aars from Bestbuy does NOT have an internal water dispenser. I just had this model delivered a week ago and mistakenly thought it had the internal dispenser (the RF266AARS has the internal dispenser). I'm slightly dissapointed in the lack of the dispenser but I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it back and rescheduling another delivery (I ordered the unit on Feb. 11th and didn't get it delivered until March 8th). Despite the water dispenser issue I LOVE this refrigerator the amount of storage space is incredible. The pantry drawer & crispers have alot of room and our produce stays fresher much longer.
