Samsung RSG257AARS 24.5 cu. ft. Side-By-Side Counter Depth Refrigerator Review

Usable Space

The right side of the fridge is the refrigerator portion. There are two fixed and two removable shelves, plus a removable wine rack that can hold up to 5 bottles.

There are three drawers in the fridge space, one of which is described as a Fresh Tray. Below this are two vegetable and fruit drawers. Neither of these offers a humidity control, but we found that they performed well in our tests on the water loss of a fake vegetable stored in this space.

The right door of the refrigerator has four shelves. At the top is a small dairy tray and a removable can rack. All of the shelves are removable and can be reslotted into grooves spaced three inches apart. This gives a good degree of granularity, letting you create shelves with a lot or a little vertical space.

The freezer is rather tall and thin: at 12.5 inches wide, it is going to be a squeeze to get larger packages in here. There are two utility drawers at the bottom of the freezer section.

The left door is for the freezer, and most of the door is taken up by the icemaker and the ice holding tray. Below this are three small trays, none of which offers much space. This limits the amount of space in the freezer significantly.

Below are the manufacturers own figures for capacity, and our own measurements for usable capacity. The manufacturers figures do not take account of the shelves, drawers and other removable features, but our measurements do account for the space these take up.
