Gorgeous, Quiet and Spacious!

We just installed this 23 cu ft counter depth black stainless model. First impression: Beautiful! 2nd first impression: Quiet.
This model replaced a full sized, six year old, 25 cu ft non-Samsung model and even though there is less space this model is much better organized so the same food from the old model fit into the Samsung with room to spare!
Another first impression is that the doors to the refrigerator do not slam by themselves. It has a soft-stop built-in to prevent this, which was a huge problem with our previous refrigerator. The downside is that you have to make sure you shut the door, but the good news is the door slamming stops! By day two we were already used to this.
I have read that Samsung water dispensers have a habit of dripping and I was very concerned when ours starting dripping straight away. In reading the manual it states that air in the lines can cause this so once the system was fully "burped" the dripping stopped. Note that this "burping" took the better part of a day but the dispenser is now complete dripless.
Speaking of the owner's manual, that is Samsung's product weakness. Not the best manuals on Earth but their customer support is very helpful. It took a call to figure out the control panel. Quick and easy.
Connecting to the Smart Things app was a challenge, as it was with our newest Samsung TV, but it finally synched up and all is good.
Going from a full sized model to this counter-depth model was quite concerning for us. But it fits our kitchen so, so much better and it's amazing how just a few inches makes out kitchen feel so much better. The refrigerator now fits the kitchen instead of the kitchen fitting around a very larger refrigerator.
We knew coming in that refrigerator magnets are now a thing of the past with a stainless steel model, since they are not magnetic. But, the sides of the fridge are magnetic! However, we have promised our new, beautiful Samsung that we will not overload its sides with gaudy, old-school magnets.
We didn't realize how noisy our old refrigerator was until we got this new Samsung! It is nearly silent. At first I found myself checking and double-checking just to make sure it was still working!
So far we are completely pleased and have already ordered a new, black stainless-steel range to match and will complete with a new Microwave and Dishwasher in the near future. The new refrigerator has really refreshed our entire kitchen!
