I have had the 3 door in white for a couple of months. I’m in love and glad we went with a higher end compared to our previous ones. There’s more space, it’s stunning and sleek, it makes two sizes of ice, there’s the auto fill water pitcher and water dispenser. We live in Texas and attaching a water filtration filter is a must. This has really cut down our water bottle consumption. We ordered it from Costco and ended up saving big time during the Memorial Day sale. $1950, an extra set of glass panels, plus free delivery, set up and haul-away.
That's cool you got extra glass panels
That's a good deal
A few things I forgot to mention. Compared to the old fridges this makes way less noise, though it still has some soft high and low pitch noises sometimes.
You can also order these with custom colors for each panel. So it doesn't have to be all white. Learn more: geni.us/BFEscV
I also found out that you can adjust the fridge features from the panel inside the right door, not just from the app. Learn more: downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/PM/202304/20230405163731741/EN/English/FDR_RF8000B_DA68-04402B_EN_c3_s1.html
The ice over problem is a consistent problem with Samsung Ice makers in the fridge. Samsung failed to seal and insulate it properly causing the warmer air from the fridge to enter and melt the ice and cause condensation on the coolant tubing. Unfortunately, Samsung continued with this design for 3-4 years, knowing there was an issue. I hope they got this one right.
Having one delivered at 11:00 this morning. We will see how it stacks up.
@@jeffeldredge1608 Let me know in 3-6 months. lol Good luck with it.
Thanks for the review. Have you measure the noise level when the compressor is running? I have an LG side by side and when the compressor is running, my phone reads 35db standing right next to the fridge. 35db is supposed to be pretty quiet, but I can hear that high pitch noise 10 feet away when im watching tv, in which sometimes it can be annoying. Has this been an issue with your fridge (or the previous ones)?
@luisarsuaga7637 So my parents have and LG fridge and without testing with a meter, I would say there is slightly louder and makes an interesting noise. 95% of the time I never hear the Samsung compressor, but when it is on it is noticeable.
Love mines just bought this over the weekend. It’s going to be great for the holidays
Thank you for the review! I saw this fridgeabout a week ago at Home depot and and I absolutely fell in love with it! Thank you again
I bought at Home Depot!!
Who Here loves fridges?
I do now
I love a fully loaded fridge 😊
Me
Me!
Fridges are cool.
Nice, you always make the videos on the products I want
Awaiting delivery on a Bespoke 3 door. Chose this model specifically because 1) there is no ice dispenser in the door (they always break) and 2) the freezer was larger and better designed than others (more straight at the back as opposed to an angle causing loss of space, if that makes sense). Was looking for confirmation that I made a good choice, after reading about issues with the Bespoke. Thanks for the review.
I've had two fridges with the ice and water dispenser in the door and neither of them had any issue. A 2005 whirlpool and a 2017 ge
What color did you choose
I got stainless steel. Not only do I not care for the yellow and turquoise, but the stainless looks better IMO with my 20 year old traditional darker oak cabinets. And the white was just plain white that I’ve been looking at for decades. BTW we love this fridge. I hope it lasts for ages without issues. @@jaytemp5975
I just got one and your video really helps!
Great review. You gave me a few ideas of how I can use it. First time I'm watching a review after I buy something. I just got mine delivered yesterday and I'm in love too. Mine's the 3 door version. A fridge was on my list but I thought of waiting with the purchase a few months. I walked into best buy to buy a dish washer. Saw this fridge and decided to buy it within 2 minutes.
Just bought one in Black Stainless. It's the only counter depth they had in stock and I needed it NOW! But you got me nervous about reliability, so I'll add the extended warranty. VERY helpful review. Nice job!
whats the point of black stainless just get a black fridge at that point LOL
Fantastic!!! The emerald green is stunning. We can't wait to get one. Beautiful!!!
Greatly appreciated your video talking about the standard depth vs. counter depth. I have a counter depth black stainless Samsung for 7 years now I absolutely love, but will be leaving it when we move. I assumed I would purchase the counter depth in the Bespoke line (same one, but I want the family hub), but I believe our new kitchen has your setup with the wall on one side. Thanks for sharing that information. I'll take some measurements to see what the best choice would be for us.
I'm glad it was helpful! I've noticed Samsung has also done a better job at including those measurements on their website but wanted to make sure everyone gets the right one for their space.
I have this same fridge and so far it is the best fridge I have ever had.
Excellent in depth review! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the video, we are thinking about getting one for our new home.
Thank you for showing handle under left side for beverage center!
Thank you so much. This is very, very helpful and detailed. :)
Thanks Brett, your video helped me to know my new refrigerator.
Saved me a huge headache by showing the door hinges and the long wall on one side. My kitchen is setup very similar and I was considering the counter depth for my family of 2. Thanks for pointing this out and saving me a huge headache.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for your review. Very helpful.
Thanks for the review. I am thinking of getting one
Is there an option to turn off the autofill for the pitcher? Can I use the pitcher for something else instead, like juice or iced tea?
I've had a Kitchen Aid side by side refrigerator for the past 12 years. Finally decided to update because I get a great deal ad a samsung account holder and military discount. Got this for $2090 TOTAL, with free delivery and setup. Ordered it with clementine and gloss black panels! Can't wait.
Thank you for your services
Love our Bespoke Samsung Refrigerator!❤❤❤
Your review, especially the part a about the doors opening; standard depth vs counter depth saved me a major headache!
Thank you for this video - its all the info I needed to know to make a decision. One question - How high off the floor is the bottom of the fridge doors? I have a low counter top (32") that extends out on one side well beyond the fridge. I'm wondering if the door will clear the top of it. The height of the fridge is 70" and looks to be roughly split in half (35" for the two drawers and 35" for the French doors). Is that accurate?
Ordered mine today with delivery tomorrow some time. I'm so excited to get this model at a great price to replace to really old fridge I currently have, it comsumes approximately 25% of my overall energy costs per month. Did I mention I have a few friends and fam that's a little envious right now.
Plan on getting the range in a couple weeks.
Very nicely organized refrigerator. Great info
Question! Do the doors come off if needed during delivery and installation? The door to my kitchen is too small for the dimensions with the fridge doors but looks like it’ll fit if they can come off.
We just brought counter top refrigerator but in stainless steel. We love it!
How much clearance would I need if one side of it was a wall it can't pull out past?
Thank you. Very helpful ideed!
Thank you for your review. I own a Samsung Bespoke fridge too. The one I have is a different model, but with a lot of the same features. (I have the 4-Door Flex). The top portion of our fridge is exactly like yours with the beverage center feature. Bottom section is 2 freezer sections with pull out shelf-drawers. The dual ice maker is in one side, the other side can be set to freezer or fridge temp as needed. Ours is the same white glass as yours and we chose the counter-depth version. The space it fills is wide enough for the doors to open the full 125 degrees. It was very helpful to see you change the water filter. Our configuration up top is exactly like yours and this visual is a big help for the first time we need to do this. And the tip about water pressure is a really good one. Recently, we have had a LOT of plumbing work done and it was discovered our water pressure was set way too high. That has been adjusted and hopefully we did not do any internal damage to the fridge in the time we've owned it since March 2023. We ordered directly from Samsung and their price was better than any big box or dealer. Shipping was free. and they threw in an extra water filter and a $100.00 coupon. Delivery was 4 days after we ordered....much quicker than the other retailers in our area. At the time we ordered we were also given a perk of being able to get a 2nd set of panels free. We just have to decide what color!
Excellent video this was what i needed
Had a Samsung fridge and w/d front load combo both over 10 yrs old. Never an issue til yesterday when a fly landed on front of the electronic ice/control panel and I hit it with our electronic bug zapper/fly swatter and apparently shorted the control panel out. Fridge works and repair guy will be out Friday to diagnose for certain. Been awesome fridge so far though
Oh no!!! That is super sad but also crazy that could actually happen.
Very detailed review, Thank you Brett. I am wondering can you use marker to write on the glass like a note board?
yes
watch at 19:19
Three in 8 years. I've had same GE fridge for 18 years. Replaced an $80 part once.
Thank you so much for this! ❤🎉
What does the large touch screen do what are the benefits? I read if you get the touch screen you have to buy all the panels separately? Does that mean 4 total I’m assuming?
thanks bud, was trying to figure out Counter vs standard... gonna do standard
Beautiful home Brett!
Thank you!
Very good review. thanks
I literally just got my fridge today!
How long does it take to really cool the fridge?
The water is not even cold.
Do you know what the actual temperature is inside the fresh food section? I have ours set to 34 degrees. It does good to do 35 and will go to 45 to 47 degrees before cooling begins. This is when the doors have not been opened for hours.
Mine does the same thing, Food is cold but it's a bit scary seeing how warm it gets inside the fridge at certain times.
Got this EXACT one a week ago after 10 year LG (problematic, even more expensive) fridge. So far love it. I'm hoping for the best. It sure is a nice looking fridge and I specifically wanted one with water and ice inside due to mess...and stainless cleaning nightmare. No kids in house so it works for us.
I just got this a week ago too and I have thermometers inside, the top part is set to 34 but reading 40-41 so they are going to replace mine 😢 the middle drawer is steady at 35 degrees and the freezer is set to 0 but reaching -6 , wondering if I’m the only one that is actually measuring the actual temperatures cuz I’ve been looking online and haven’t found anything. Hopefully my new one works if not I will have to get a different brand
Would you still recommend this fridge? I would also be mixing stainless steel oven and dishwasher etc with the white glass. I love the idea of the glass instead of stainless. We have 6 kids and stainless ends up with dents etc.
I have a RO filter, does the water dispenser and ice maker still work without a filter in the fridge?
Holy play by play about your past fridge lives. Just tell us you love it!! So good.
very helpful and informative video.
We’ve finally progressed from bespoke historically only meaning clothing cut and tailored to the unique measurements of an individual to kitchen appliances made on an assembly line but with interchangeable color panelling. Great job Millennials.
haha, so true 😁
9.5 " sticking out but you cant count the door. Depending on the hinges of the manufacturer . im going to get the Flex after I move
Best explanation brother.
When does the beverage center and ice maker need to be cleaned and how much hassle is it?
Do you have to use the phone app to control temps,etc?
If you don’t mind, may I know how much did you pay for this refrigerator? They have it on sale at Lowe’s and would like to know if it is a real deal or it is always on sale. Thanks for the great review!
How long did yours take before it was producing ice?

I ordered the bespoke samsung 4 door, but I am afraid the doors are too thick and the fridge will stick out too much. It also from the pictures has the black sides? Can you paint them stainless stell to match the stainless steel front panels?
I notice the when you open the left door the Wright one also tries to open like is rubbing against it, the is a problem overtime is going to get damage
I have that first fridge, and it's a disaster. I can't open the ice maker anymore; I shut it off as a lost cause. I'm looking to replace it after 11 years. I've been disappointed in it for about half that time. We've had two people tell us two different things about our water pressure. One said it was too high, and the other said it was too low. I have no idea if that's an issue or not.
Thank you for the review!
I bought a 27cuft bespoke. Three mos. later, the control board stopped working. Samsung could not supply the part and offered to buy it back at a $500 loss. I'll buy a GE next. Good luck with your Bespoke...lol😊
How do you set the humidity level in the crisper drawers? if you can't adjust them, are the drawers the same? I saw that one drawer said "crisper+" but the other drawer doesn't have any writing on it.
6:21 did you put the white sticker with the arrow? If not, I think it’s supposed to be removed and it’s why the sensor isn’t working fully.
Very good review. Great guy
Great review! We have on order, from HD, the exact one you have. Since it’s now mid October, are you still feeling as you did when you published this video last May?
I am, we still love it. The only update to add is one day one day the middle drawer got a bit colder and we had some frozen meat but that went away and we haven't seen it since.
My best Samsung Fridge ever i want it now in 🇨🇦
I just bought this same fridge but with the smart hub. I'm putting my GE profile in the garage.
can anyone please confirm if this fridge has wheels at the bottom? I'd like to ensure it's easy to move it around if required.
great video. thanks
Just ordered ours!
I just ordered all 4 appliances in the white glass!! Thank you for your review!! Due to watching it I realized the counter depth would not work for us and you saved me from getting it here only to realize the doors would have trouble opening since there is a wall on the right hand side. I quickly switched for the standard depth ( nice to have more space, but I really wanted that sleeker look). I must ask, what color are your cupboards? Your kitchen looks great!! We are going to be getting a kitchen remodel, and those almost look like what we are getting. Icy avalanche by Kemper.
Edit: Now I'm thinking maybe I should have kept counter depth. The wall to the right of my fridge comes out 28 3/4" so would I be able to do counter depth? Please help!! 🙏
Did you order from Costco? I’m going to be ordering all 4 in white also. It’s under $3500 for everything and includes installation and haul away of old appliances 👍
We got bespoke everything in our kitchen. The only downside is my white panels do not match the white on my range and dishwasher but I’m sure they offer a different white just have to go look. The 2 other things is they don’t offer a vent hood to match or a wine fridge. I wish they would atleast consider the vent hood.
getting this 1 next year
How long would you say does it take to fill up the ice bins with for both ice types? We use a lot of ice in the house and we just got it two days ago. Dumped the first bath after two days and it wasn't full full.
Same here.
I just got mines delivered today.
Is not cooling enough.
Any tips?
The end of your kitchen island looked close to the fridge. How many inches do you have there? Can you stand in front and fully pull out the bottom freezer drawer? Is ths an issue since we have limited room there
We have 36" between the counter and the fridge. When the freezer is all the way open we still have 17.5" of space to stand. It is a little tight but hasn't been a problem.
How to fix the ice makeking problems ?thank you
I was looking for the secret handle to the water dispenser thanks 😂
Thank you
Hola 👋🏻 desde 🇵🇷
Compré uno y no había escuchado que tan malas reseñas de las personas cuando de habla de esta marca 😫 espero me dure muchos años 🙏🏻
Aún no me la han entregado.
Que marcador se puede usar para escribir sobre las puertas( cristales)?
If I have counters on both sides do I HAVE to get counter depth? Which would be better
No. Its a choice
Can you put fridge magnets on these?
I love fridge. I have the lg version pretty cool but I think I’m loving this Samsung more because of the water jar
Can u explain about how to get information on ur phone please!
Personally like the clean look but the normal ice water dispenser on front in open is way better tried and true and easy for both kids and adults to use and access
It was certainly an adjustment. I guess it doesn't annoy me because I never use ice, I just like having the cold water ready to go.
Not if ice maker is in fridge section. Youll find out soon enough
@@tommyorrison9659 what??
@@artieartya there is a Class action lawsuit the refrigerator ice makers will freeze up. And have to be manually defrosted. We have 2 at work with this issue. Also fridge temps do not match the number pad. Ours will not cool below 41 degrees. Normally around 43.
@@tommyorrison9659 sucks for you. Should have got warranty Home Depot and Lowe’s got 5 years. Seems you cheaper out on that.
I have an infamous one affected by the recall. Bought the extended warranty knowing this. Repairs were done free of charge. My only up-front was the warranty plan.
I own the same Samsung as your first one. Samsung settled a class action lawsuit on that one and we have had the ice maker replaced at least 4 times along with the control board the last time. They built a nightmare when they put that ice maker in the refrigerator compartment. The lawsuit required them to extend the warranty for I believe 10 years. If you have that model, contact Samsung customer support and they connect you with a local certified repair facility that will perform the repair for free. I'm not sure I will ever buy a Samsung refrigerator again, especially one with an ice maker in the refrigerator compartment.
At a certain point I was just done with it. We had warranty over so many times. I didn't realize how much of an issue it was till I saw tons of other people showing videos online. I'm just glad they are working much better now.
Great!! Love the video and hoe well you explain it, I just purchased it today! But the ice maker it’s not making any ice😂
I'm still waiting for my free panels. Has anyone received their rebate for the free panels? I have the same LVP flooring color as you have. New Subscriber
Thanks for the great video. I am considering this fridge but concerned that it is hard to move for when you need to clean behind. The manual doesn’t seem to imply that there are wheels. We have wood floors in the kitchen and don’t want to scratch them! Does it have wheels, and can you move it easily? Usually with modern fridges you can raise their front feet and then easily roll them out. This one looks to be an exception. Thank you.
How did you connect the water line?
What are the dimensions of the piece you added to fix the problem of the pitcher not filling automatically?
He said 3mm.
Hello, I bought the fridge last month and I have a strange issue: the left door of the fridge (including the beverage center door) closes on it's own when opened. It will not stay open. The right side door stays open. I had a tech come out to check it and he checked it, leveled it, and said nothing could be done about this - it's the design of the fridge. I find this hard to believe. Did you have this issue at all? I'm wondering if it's an issue with my particular unit. Thanks.
I have the same issue
How do u turn on the autofill feature
Hey my ice maker stop working I left my freezer open what should I do to get it back working
Just ordered the same fridge through costco.
I have this exact fridge in the stainless steal, and everything he says is accurate. Hoping Samsung got this model right with the ice maker in the freezer and the water in the fridge. Honestly do wish it had a small handle to grab on the front, or a finger cut out like the top and bottom.
Very happy with purchase, fridge is huge standard depth. Had it for 3 months so far.
Do you feel like the stainless steel scratches easily? We are trying to decide between the stainless steel and the white glass.
@@wavy2k following.
About to purchase, can you tell me how is it going with your purchase
Any update on this now? I just got this same model for 1200 :)
Do you happen to have the electric range? I turn it off and it won't cool down.
Having problems with thin pice on the left door you have to manually push that flap so you can close the other side of the door
So there is nearly no freezer space? I think you need an extra freezer when you want to use this thing. Is there a way to get it with the normal ice water dispenser on front?
There really is a lot more space in the freezer than I showed. It goes pretty deep and we have about bags of stuff stacked on each side of the bottom layer. It looks like you can only get the normal ice dispenser with the 4/3 door option.
@@TechWithBrett But the new 2023 Family Hub seems to be only available with your configuration
Brother quick question I'm buying this fridge from a mother and she is not very tech savvy. Can you control the fridge temperature without having to use the app sister like a manual setting on the fridge?
So on the inside you are supposed to be able to touch the buttons on the right inside to change it but I guess mine doesn't work so I need to use the app.
