If you want a new fridge and freezer that manages to combine both fantastic looks with top of the range design functionality then the Samsung RB195ACPN stainless steel bottom mount refrigerator could be the one for you.  It’s a great fridge and compliments the style of modern kitchen design that has become popular over the last 5 years – we’re talking stainless steel finish, great futuristic LED displays – and of course – a large capacity to suit larger families.

Read on for a complete Samsung RB195ACPN review:

Features of the Samsung RB195ACPN Refrigerator

• LED digital control pad and display
• Internal LED lighting – makes better use of energy
• Twin cooling technology and air filtration
• Glass shelves that are easy to remove and clean
• Will fit seamlessly into cabinets as its counter depth size

Cabinet Depth Refrigerator – Fits Seamlessly to Your Kitchen

The Samsung RB195ACPN is a cabinet-depth (sometimes called counter-depth) refrigerator which means that is has been designed and built to fit seamlessly into modern kitchen cabinets and fittings.  As a result you won’t get any ugly looking angles jutting out (not that the Samsung would ever look ugly!) and your kitchen will look sleek, modern, and very contemporary.

There is a draw-back to this being a cabinet depth model though – and that’s the fact that you will have to make a slight concession to the amount of internal capacity and storage you have – as a result the Samsung RB195ACPN refrigerator is only available in an 18 cubic foot of capacity model.

One aspect that is worth the money is the automatic defrosting capabilities.  Don’t worry about having annoying ice overflows from the freezer compartment because the designers at Samsung have come up with something called Auto De-Frost.  If the fridge gets too cold then the temperatures will adjust automatically meaning your food is always kept at the optimum level.

No Water Dispenser

Unlike many refrigerators of this size, the Samsung RB195ACPN does lack an external ice maker and water filter dispenser.  However, there is an ice maker inside the fridge unit so you won’t go without the perfect accompaniment to a cold and refreshing drink.  If you are prepared to pay a little bit more then higher range Samsungs do come with this – but given the low price point of this model you can’t expect to get everything.

Samsung RB195ACPN Refrigerator – Final Score and Rating

If you look on Amazon then you will see that the Samsung gets a very high 4.5 stars out of 5 in their customer reviews.  It’s one of the most affordable refrigerators on the market in 2012 and has a beautiful stainless steel finish – plus makes very good use of the internal space.  It’s a superb buy for the money – and whilst there are some aspects lacking, it’s very unlikely that you will pick up anything of a similar quality for the price.  Expect to pay just over $1000 US Dollars for this fridge freezer.

Wider Selection of Samsung Fridge Freezers

This is a superb Samsung fridge freezer. They also have a wider range of models available that come with differing functionality and capacity.  If you want to know more than make sure that you check out these additional Samsung refrigerator reviews before you make a purchase decision.

Don’t you hate it when you put your glass under an ice dispenser, push the dispenser button and next thing you know, there are 20 ice cubes in your glass and on the floor? That’s what happens when I use my mom’s ice dispenser. Like anything, I got used to it over time.

Now that I have a beautiful Frigidaire Gallery Refrigerator with an ice dispenser at my house I can actually limit the number of ice cubes that come out! If I want one ice cube, I tap my glass against the dispenser and one ice cube comes out! It’s awesome. I know this sounds trivial but I hate it when ice cubes come pouring out of the dispenser and fill up the glass so fast that they can’t all fit and then they end up on the floor.

Here is a quick video demonstration of the ‘one ice cube phenomenon’. I sound very Zen like.. like I’m instructing a yoga class or something so don’t fall asleep. The video is about 16 seconds long. Enjoy.

Hilarious huh?

I’ve had a great time with my new Frigidaire appliances. I buy more food, cook more (we don’t live off hummus and carrots anymore!), and have washed more laundry than ever.  I can’t wait for my new dishwasher!   I am much more motivated to do laundry on a regular basis, and to cook since I have a new refrigerator, range, microwave, and washer and dryer.  I’m so much more motivated to do laundry now that I know I’m going to see a brand new shiny red Affinity washer and dryer than I was when I was using a 20+ year old washing machine and several year old dryer.

The ultimate gadgets have arrived!

As you may know from my other blog TheMommyInsider.com, I am a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom and have been waiting every so patiently for my new Frigidaire washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, range, and dishwasher to arrive.  Today was the day, with the exception of the dishwasher and the range which will arrive in July.

Here’s how this morning went down:
Tim, my husband, ran in our bedroom at about 8:05 (it’s amazing he was awake) this morning annoyingly calling my name over and over.. Alicia, Alicia, Alicia! I didn’t want to wake up. The first morning I’ve slept in until 8:00 in a very long time and he’s trying to wake me up? About 30 seconds later I heard Willie (the appliance installer) call out “Your new appliances are here!” like they do on the Home Make-Over show. That got me out of bed in record time.

Willie the main installman (word or not?), our fabulous appliance installers, and Tim from Electrolux/Frigidaire, installed our new Frigidaire Washer and Dryer quicker than I ever could have imagined.

It’s 8:45am and we’re having a party in my garage! My adrenaline is pumping and I can’t wait to report back to you when everything is installed and working!
