Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jul 07, 2009 8:31 pm Yay for Samsung! We had an issue with our Samsung fridge after 18 months where the cabinet on the old fridge had begun to warp and twist. After a good attempt to fix the issue and a couple of weeks Samsung agreed to replace or refund the fridge. We chose a refund and based on the service and the past performance we upgraded to the next model up (We had a 618l Side by Side) the SRS702GDHSS. http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=homeappliances&type=refrigerator&subtype=sidebyside&model_cd=RSG5FURS1/XSA The good folk at Harvey Norman organised for the delivery today and the driver was great! The fridge is exactly the same size as the old fridge but the interior space is far greater. This new unit is 702 litres which is an increase of 84 litres. The best thing, i think, about this new fridge is the water and ice maker is in the door. This creates a whole lot of extra storage space in the freezer.

I like that fridge has heaps of space and the nifty drinks draw (if only it could refill itself with beers..) , currently tossing up between that one or the Fisher and Paykle one with the freezer draw. Re: Review - Samsung Fridge SRS702GDHSS 11Jul 07, 2009 10:13 pm After playing with the drawers on several freezers I found a couple of issues: a/ too shallow ... drawers did not pull out far enough b/ the digging ... stuff getting buried underneath other stuff c/ the bending ... having to get down on my knees to find stuff <note> I don't use the freezer Re: Review - Samsung Fridge SRS702GDHSS 12Jul 07, 2009 10:56 pm You are organised Zerosignal!! Actually my partner and I had a quick look in Harvey Norman last weekend at fridges. We want a really wide fridge as our fridge space is massive (~1150mm) Zerosignal I like that fridge has heaps of space and the nifty drinks draw (if only it could refill itself with beers..) , currently tossing up between that one or the Fisher and Paykle one with the freezer draw. I don't know that it will refill itself with beer... but I see it holds champagne pretty nicely Thanks for the pics Matt!!!

ALSO, there is a new (I think) LG model which is exactly the same as yours but instead it has the two top doors opening up like a "french" set and then there is a pull out drawer (freezer) below. So the whole top is wide open for fridge, did you consider that one? I know it's pricey (I think $4,500)... Annie A thankful person is a happy person.

(We ordered the same one a few weeks back - just need to finish the house now so we can take delivery of it). I can totally recomend the Good Guys in Nunawading, look for 'Yasmin J' - he has done us some very good deals in the past few weeks. RRP for the fridge was $3499, Yasmin did it for under $2500. Mind you, we also bought a dishwasher and dryer at the same time, but he also knocked the dishwasher down from $1500 to $1100 and took about $150 off the dryer from memory. I can dig out the exact amounts if anyone is interested. He also did me a 2.4m long entertainment cabinet (can't remember the make) which was $1299 in Harvey Norman, Yasmin ordered the same one in for me at Good Guys for $750. Re: Review - Samsung Fridge SRS702GDHSS 15Jul 08, 2009 8:40 am Hi Matt You have the same fridge as me I had the fridge on hold before I started building the house I designed the kitchen measurements around it even the nice deep recess so it doesnt stick out past my cupboards. I luuvvvvvvvv it The ice maker is great to go with my Baileys It was recommended at $3500 and we got it for $2500 so we are very happy!

Champagne or beer sounds good to me.

So the whole top is wide open for fridge, did you consider that one? I know it's pricey (I think $4,500)... Annie We did! I am a 'non' fan of the drawers for the freezer and I think the new model also has only chilled water ... it is the ice I like as well The LG model you have suggested is good but when put side by side with the samsung is a bit smaller. Other smaller things are like the fold down part in the fridge is a nice solid smooth motion on the samsung with a catch that lowers it down slowly as opposed to the LG that has a loose fit on the door and the flap just drops down with no slowing mechanism. The doors on the Samsung also have 2 features that I really like. 1 the doors have a self closing mechanism (great for the kids) and 2 they also lock in place when they are opened which is handy for loading in groceries etc. It is small things like this that made the difference for me! The fridge was a bit under $2400 plus delivery. Re: Review - Samsung Fridge SRS702GDHSS 18Jul 10, 2009 10:16 am Looks great mate. We just bought the same fridge from The Good Guys. Managed to get it for $2600, not as good as your price but I was happy considering we wanted to pay on Amex to get the extra warranty (platinum card). That and we didn't have the cash at the moment. Hopefully it will be a reliable model. Actually - The Good Guys have a 30 day price beat guarantee. Would anyone help me out with a scan of their invoice so I could get the fridge for $2500 or less? I'd be very grateful.
