Most people on this forum will tell you not to worry about brand uniformity. Get the best available appliance you can for your budget regardless of brand.

Having said that, I have had a Samsung french door fridge in the past and been happy with it :)

I've been happy with my counter depth Samsung French Door fridge for over a year now. But there are several models, and at least some have problems -- search old threads here (using the search form at the bottom of the page) for more about this. Its also wise to verify availability of local service for whatever appliances you buy; obviously, this is especially important the farther you are from a large city.

Everything else in my kitchen was made by somebody else; there's no way I would expect any single manufacturer to make the best product across all kitchen appliances.

Embrace diversity!

We have a counter depth Samsung fridge that is great! Although, each of our major appliances are all different brands. They are all stainless; that was the only thing that was important to me. Just research the brands you like and get the appliances that work best for you, regardless of brand!

Ask the independent appliance service people in your area. They are the folks who get to see what is really behind the low prices and smiling faces when things go wrong.

What Scottdim said...

I still have a Samsung FD fridge and it's been great. We also, coincidentally, have a Samsung washer and dryer and both have been nothing short of impressive.

Unfortunately, I am not pleased with my two year old Samsung FD fridge. About two months ago, it stopped cooling completely. The Samsung tech found that all of the coolant had leaked out due to an unrepairable leak in the sealed system which is covered under their 5 yr warranty. Samsung customer service has been, by and large, quite poor and we are still going 'round and 'round about what to do with this unrepairable unit.

I do like the design of the unit (icemaker in freezer, water dispenser inside the refrigerator) even if it is not particularly quiet.

Chac_mool has a good suggestion--search for Samsung threads within this forum; there have been several fairly recent discussions.

I can't comment specifically on the items you're looking for but I have a samsung washer and dryer as well as a few of their televisions. I really like their products and wouldn't hesitate to buy more items from them.

We've got the Samsung 4 door refrigerator. Had it for just over 4 months now and we really like it. Our range and dishwasher are different brands as they had the features we wanted; the Samsungs did not. (and we don't own a microwave)

We've had a Samsung fridge (FD, 26.0 cu.ft., with water dispensed inside and ice in freezer drawer) for about 6 months. We could not be more happy! It far exceeded our expectations; it is super easy to keep clean and organized.

The deli drawer settings are not simply a pretty light but correlate to a specific temp, the power cool/freeze is really nice after shopping or vac. sealing (lowers the temp faster over two hours), LED lights, glass shelves, the doors will hold much more than a mayo jar so you can keep things super organized, since the ice dispenser isn't in the door there is max space in the fridge, the freezer drawer handle lifts as you pull it so it is easy to pull out, the freezer isn't just a big bucket, it has two levels (with divider on the bottom level, telescope action on the upper level, ice bin on upper level, and a narrow shelf that I use for my canning jars . . . I could go on and on . . . we highly recommend.

As many have also mentioned, matching brands isn't important; go for a balance of your budget and best in class.
