Has Samsung FINALLY Made a Good Refrigerator? Samsung Bespoke Teardown

In this video, I tear down, test, and review the newest style of Samsung refrigerator. The Samsung Bespoke RF30BB6600QL. Is this simply a new coat on an old problem, or did Samsung actually address any of the major issues the refrigerators have had for years?

The only Samsung Bespoke models I would recommend:

I would not recommend: Family hub models, 4-door Flex Zones

I have the counter depth version of this, fantastic refrigerator coming from an LG and Samsungs, took a leap of faith and I am glad I did. It's completely different from the previous decade's line. This seems to be a rebranded Dacor, the high end brand that Samsung acquired.

A few additional notes: It has both lower and upper grab slots to open the door with a clean look and no handles taking up depth space. I prefer the upper slots as a taller guy and you get used to not using/ needing handles. Color on the panels is only in front... the sides are not color-matched which might be an issue if yours sticks out because you'll see a different color. Panels can be dry erasable but it can definitely stain. Works with Smart things for stuff like door open notifications. I've had the pitcher since the previous version and it's been a game changer and I can't go back. Fill quick, but sometime has issues auto-filling if the overflow pan is full, but simple process to clear. Finally, be sure to check swing angles, it's not just about the opening width.

Long term GE owner here. Just got this Bespoke exact model delivered yesterday. I was overthinking whether we made right decision. thanks for this video helped with my peace of mind . Keep up great work

Those messages on the fridge tablet are hilarious. 🤣

I've had this model for a year and a half now, works perfectly, no issues.

Please keep us updated on its service history.

I know I'm late to the comment area, but this is like the Lock Picking Lawyer telling me Master actually made a respectable padlock.

We just got a version of the Bespoke with the flex drawer and no Family Zone (built in tablet). It’s been awesome, and once we install the waterline, we’ll have the ice and beverage center to use. We got an excellent deal at where we got it- there was a mix up with the open box model we purchased, and we got this fridge new for under $1100. Our kitchen is small, but this is worth the space it takes up. We also live right by an authorized repair tech for Samsung (used them for our dryer) so we’re in good shape if we need repairs.

Great video Ben.
This Samsung Bespoke fridge has been redesigned from the ground up. Glad to see that these models are made in Korea (including compressor). The previous generation french door fridges were made in Mexico. As a part time service tech with access to Korean service manuals, I haven't repaired a Bespoke model yet. Samsung learned their mistakes and delivered a quality fridge!

I've got the 4 door flex version of that fridge with the beverage center.... it's absolutely WONDERFUL and highly recommend it.

My family has been trash talking Samsung refrigerators for years, so when we bought our bespoke fridge (primarily because we love the look), I was nervous. This video has helped with my concerns

[CarraJenise]

Thank you for making this, I’ve been needing a fridge and LOVED this but I wasn’t going to spend the money unless you made an honest review! 😂

[jenniferhuggard]

I have a bespoke...4 door stainless and LOVE IT. owned 6 mths...perfect

Thanks for this video. Based upon it's content I purchased this Samsung refrigerator (counter-depth) for our kitchen remodel. It has been fantastic in every regard. The ice maker is great with the two sizes of ice and the scoop fits perfectly in the carrier. The built-in pitcher holds exact volume of water to fill our coffee carafe and automatically refills with water from our R.O filter. I NEVER would have tried a Samsung refrigerator had it not been for your video. Thank you!! Oh, and I got it at Home Depot on sale for $1600. That is about the same price I paid for a scratch and dent GE a few years ago. As a bonus I don't have to keep removing the ice container from the door and breaking up the ice block!

Our beloved GE fridge is getting on in years and we've been dreading getting a replacement. This is the first Samsung fridge I've seen that I looked at and said, "Wow, I don't hate this." We may not end up with it, because GE has been so good to us, but I do genuinely love the idea of having customizable panels and I can see local glass shops getting in on the action and offering logos, picture models, and all sorts of cool things that are compatible with these fridges in the future. Thanks for the teardown!

Ended up buying exactly the model recommended here several weeks ago. The LAST thing I wanted was a Scamsung refrigerator, but it was literally the only realistic option (colour, size, etc.) that was in stock locally and available within a day or two. Thank you so much for making me feel like we've at least there's a chance I wasn't totally screwed!

ive had this fridge (with the screen) for 2 years now and absolutely love it. 0 complaints.

[evanbland]

I have the 4 door, counter depth, with the beverage center for 4 years now. It's been good so far. Gets used a ton by our full size family with 5 kids. Only issue is with the beverage center pitcher. The auto fill doesn't work all the time. What I found is that the magnetic sensor that relays to the fridge to fill, doesn't line up perfectly anymore. When I place the empty pitcher back into the fridge I have to pull it back very slightly for the magnet and sensor to line up.

Thank goodness I didn’t have to get a new refrigerator thanks to your kit and video that I fixed mine with. ❤

I didn't get the Bespoke because it was a little bit taller and wouldn't fit (additionally, the panel color I would have chosen was on back order. I was replacing a fridge that died, and couldn't wait 4 months.) However, I got the 4-door Flex that is essentially the same. Due to mobility issues, I simply can't utilize a big drawer freezer -- I can't reach to get to everything. I have the Beverage center, and I love this fridge. I love the two sizes of ice, and I love the four doors. The freezer space is so much more efficient to use than the side-by-side Frigidaire I replaced. I can see everything and get to everything. I use the infuser on the water pitcher in the Beverage Center all the time in the summer... continuously brewing iced tea!
