Samsung 4-Door French Door Refrigerator With Flex Drawer Review 2025

Updated

My partner and I bought a house in Westchester, New York, during the pandemic. After living in tiny Brooklyn apartments for 6 years, one of the best things about our house is that it has a really big kitchen, and inside that kitchen is a really big Samsung fridge. 

Even though we didn’t personally pick this fridge out, we’re so glad it was already in the house. Below, I’ll walk you through everything we love about it and why we recommend it to anyone in the market for an upgrade. 

But before that, I’ll quickly mention that the particular model we have is from a few years back, and Samsung has since released an updated version with extra features like Wi-Fi connectivity. The basic specs I’m including are for the current version, but the differences from what we have are minimal. Also worth noting is that this fridge comes in multiple sizes, and we have the largest one (28 cubic feet).

Specs:

The French doors (aka double doors) on the upper part of the fridge are great for conserving energy because they don’t let a lot of cold air out every time they’re opened.

There’s also a filtered water and ice cube dispenser on the outside of the fridge, along with quick controls for the temperature inside the fridge. The filtered water comes out cold and it’s such a little luxury compared to the crappy fridges we had in all of our Brooklyn apartments.

The crushed ice function is one of my favorite features.


I love adding crushed ice to my cold brew concentrate so it melts quickly and dilutes the super intense coffee.

The crushed ice is basically a blade chopping regular ice cubes, so you’re not getting perfectly consistent pebble ice here — but I love having the option to have multiple sizes of ice.

The inside of the fridge has so much storage space. Both doors hold a ton of food, and there are several adjustable shelves.

We mostly use the door storage for larger bottles and condiments (we have a lot of condiments).

There are also two humidity-controlled crisper drawers that hold a surprising amount of produce.

The drawers are also deep, so they fit longer produce like celery, fennel with the fronds attached, carrots, etc.

This drawer comes in handy especially when we’re entertaining since it can hold a couple large platters.

We mostly use ours for drinks and dairy, but you can also adjust the temperature with quick pre-set buttons depending on what you want to store in there, like deli meats to fish.


Temperature pre-set buttons on the Samsung fridge “Flex Drawer” include options for drinks, deli snacks, meat, or wine and party dishes.

The freezer is on the bottom, and it comes with two levels of bin-style storage. We’re able to keep several weeks’ worth of meals, smoothie packs, frozen pet food, and more in here.

The bottom level is extremely deep, which sometimes means food can get lost, but also means there’s a lot of space even for bulky freezer items. The top drawer pulls all the way out so I can always see what’s at the back of my freezer.

The version we have is 28 cubic feet, but Samsung makes this fridge in several other sizes and depths. I can’t speak to their storage capacity, but for the largest size, I can firmly say that you won’t have a problem storing enough food for a whole family in this fridge.

Overall, I can’t recommend this fridge enough. It’s spacious, easy to maintain, and energy-efficient.

I highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a new fridge. If this size isn’t quite right for your kitchen, check out the other options. They come in different widths, capacities, and depths to fit a variety of kitchens.
