Conclusion

Energy Efficiency

This fridge will cost you in the long run. It had a rather substantial yearly operating cost, as well as a higher-than-average rate of energy consumption per cubic foot of usable space. If energy costs in your neighborhood are rather high and saving money in the long term is your biggest concern, then you may want to consider a more efficient model.

Performance

A fridge this expensive may be expected to have perfect temperature consistency. Unfortunately, the Samsung RFG297HDRS didn't; while the temperatures didn't really fluctuate over time, gradual increases in warmth at certain points in the fridge mean you'll have to be very conscious about where you store your perishables. On the other hand, the Samsung RFG297HDRS had incredibly good results for moisture retention in the crisper drawers. Fruits and vegetables will have a good home in this fridge...until they get eaten, anyway.

Storage Space

The Samsung RFG297HDRS couldn't exactly be described as cavernous. There is enough space in both the fridge and freezer to accommodate any tastes, and all but the largest of families shouldn't have any trouble storing their favorite snacks. But there are other models out there that may not look as fancy yet have more room for storage overall.

Usability

Despite all its fancy features and numerous shelves, the Samsung RFG297HDRS is surprisingly user-friendly. Nearly silent, clearly marked controls, and drawers that run like they're rolling in butter make for smooth functionality. This is a fridge that will definitely take care of you.
