However, there are a few disadvantages to this design. One of the downsides is that they can lower your home's resale price should you decide to sell.

Samsung Bespone

The doors with flat panels are designed to blend into cabinetry which gives it a modern integrated look. You'll also appreciate the independent controls for the refrigerator and freezer that keep food fresher for longer. You can also control your fridge remotely using the SmartThings App.
The stainless steel finish looks elegant and durable. You can pick different door colors that match your kitchen or home decor. This Cotta Sky Blue fridge, for instance, is striking, and is a great alternative to the standard black or silver options most refrigerators come in. You can even pair this model with other Bespoke appliances from Samsung to make a matching set.
Inside the cabinet, you'll find 387 liters of grocery capacity--enough to hold 19 bags of 20-litre grocery items. This is due to Samsung's "SpaceMax technology," which ekes every inch of the footprint of the fridge by making the cabinet's walls as thin as possible. You'll also find four cabinet shelves, plus a handy top shelf for vegetables, and a steel wine rack with five grooves for bottles. The middle drawer is customizable--you can make it suitable for drinks, wine, deli, meat, or soft freeze. The fridge features two drawers that are crisper and an innovative slide back portion of the middle shelf that lets you store items that are tall.

The RF29A967512 is available in standard and counter-depth versions and you'll have to choose which one suits your space best. The shallower model is smaller, with a smaller capacity of 23 cubic feet, and less refrigerator and freezer space than the larger model. The counter-depth refrigerator is quite deep, at 73 inches. This is higher than most of the other fridges that we've tested and may be a bit too high for some people to reach comfortably. The handles that are flat which are ADA compliant, are simple to reach and grip. They're a better choice over the tube-shaped handles found on the majority of refrigerators, and we give Samsung some extra points for these handles.
