Pros and cons

According to our fridge expert

• With the Convertible Zone, you can also use the freezer compartment as a fridge compartment.
• With an A energy label, the fridge is energy-efficient and good for the environment.
• You can also control your fridge remotely with the SmartThings app on your phone.
• It doesn't have a lever handle, so it's less easy to open the door of the fridge.
• The weight and size of the fridge may make delivery difficult, so make sure to check whether it can go up the stairs and whether it fits where it's supposed to go.

Description

You decide how much fridge space you have with the Samsung RB38A7B6AB1. The freestanding fridge freezer combination has a Convertible Zone, with which you can turn the freezer compartment into an extra fridge compartment. That's useful if you have a party or a birthday. You can store strawberries and broccoli for longer in the fresh zone. Got fresh salmon or steak? Divide the fresh zone into 2 parts, so you can adjust the temperature to your meat or fish in one of them. The Metal Cooling Plate retains the cold when you open the door. That way, the temperature varies less and you save on your energy bill. With an A energy label, you save up to € 669 on your energy costs across the lifespan.

• Converting the door from opening on the left to opening it on the right is a whole operation that is much more complex than with the average refrigerator

I am very satisfied.

• quiet
• reaches set temperatures quickly
• most "longer fresh" features for fish, meat, vegetables, fruit
• sharp corners metal strip shelves

Was delivered on Saturday morning 25 June and placed in the chosen spot by the friendly and helpful Coolblue deliverers. They even gave me tips.

I bought this refrigerator after a long search.
Offers the most features (compared to other brands) to keep fish, meat, vegetables and fruit fresh for longer. In addition, this model has energy class A. This is achieved by even better insulation. But the annual saving on power consumption is actually negligible and was not decisive for my choice. What was decisive in opting for the better insulation of energy class A, is that this refrigerator is also less affected by temperature differences in the environment. Switched on six hours after delivery by Coolblue. Could actually already after an hour. And as stated under "Initial Installation", set to the coldest temperature (cooling 1°C, freezing -23°C). This was achieved after about 3 hours and 15 minutes (refrigerator section was at 1°C much earlier, don't remember how long that took). And this refrigerator is very quiet. So quiet that at first I thought the engine was broken. This fridge is also huge. Much bigger than I expected. A lot can go in.
I am very satisfied.

Points of improvement:
While waiting before using it for the first time, I cleaned the refrigerator. In addition, I got two very small bleeding cuts on my left thumb (inside thumb of the joint behind the nail.) due to the sharp corners at the end of the metal strip (on the front) of two shelves.

Too bad there is no list of settings for Humidity Fresh+. Now I have to find out for myself which fruits and vegetables have a high or low humidity to extend the shelf life.

Compliments for the delivery!

• The delivery was really great!!

Now, Coolblue's delivery people are always cheerful and friendly anyway, but these delivery people were really great!
Laminate was delivered here 10 minutes before they delivered the refrigerator. It is then simply placed in your front garden in the rain. The Coolblue delivery people did bring in the refrigerator neatly and then they also brought in all the laminate!
Really super sweet!

• Makes little noise
• Is very spacious
• Beautiful exterior
• Fridge broke within 2 weeks. This one has been exchanged and now I suddenly have black adjustable feet underneath it. Did you receive the ones that were missing from the previous, refurbished refrigerator?

After 2 weeks the fridge stopped cooling and I had to throw away all my frozen products. Attempt 2 now, so I can't say much about it yet. It is a beautiful, spacious and silent refrigerator and when it works it does really well. The lighting inside is also nice. The inside looks a bit cheap to me.
Connection via Coolblue is not recommended. They get 10 minutes, the manual states that you have to wait at least 2 to 3 hours before switching it on, so that is actually not possible at all. And then there are blocks for the back for optimal energy consumption. They don't do anything with that, so you have to remove the refrigerator completely from its place and level it again. That $25 is wasted money. The only thing that is nice about that is that they take the packaging material with them. But I think that for 25 euros that is quite expensive. Coolblue used to be a better company.
