Side-by-side refrigerator Samsung RS57K4000SA

An integral part of every kitchen is a refrigerator. Without this device, it is simply impossible to imagine modern life. Home appliance manufacturers are doing their best and filling their refrigerator models with a wide variety of functions. Due to this, the need for monthly defrosting of such a device has sunk into oblivion, and the products can be stored for a long time without losing their useful properties.

A refrigerator is a serious investment of money, therefore it is worth approaching the choice of this household appliance with all responsibility, as it is usually purchased for at least 5 years.

If you are a happy owner of a large-sized kitchen, then you should take a closer look at the trendy novelty among the cooling devices - a two-door refrigerator. Not every brand can boast of the presence of such a giant in its lineup. But Samsung has in its arsenal several types of such devices.

Distinctive features

Side by Side is the second name of this household appliance, since the doors are located opposite each other.

The Samsung brand carries out serious work in the field of refrigeration equipment, so this household appliance has a lot of useful functions:

1. Low energy costs - due to the fact that electricity is used rationally, even despite the gigantic dimensions of such a 2-door model, it consumes much less energy than other similar types. These household appliances belong to the energy-saving class A +.

2. The presence of an inverter compressor, due to which the change in power occurs in a smooth mode. The main advantages of such a compressor:

low noise level - its operation is almost inaudible,
energy saving
protection against sudden changes in voltage.

3. Functional distribution of the internal space of the 2-door Samsung refrigerator - the cameras have convenient zoning, depending on the temperature mode. Due to this, it is possible to independently adjust at what height the shelves will be located.

4. The presence of a zero compartment, the temperature of which always fluctuates within zero degrees, ensures that the products are kept fresh without losing useful properties and taste for a long period.

5. The ability to independently set the temperature in various chambers, which also provides significant savings in energy costs.

6. No-Frost technology provides several advantages:

allows you to maintain ideal conditions for maintaining provisions,
frost and frost do not appear in the freezer,
during freezing, the products do not stick together.

Roomy and stylish two-door refrigerator with NoFrost system. Complete instructions.

Finally, I decided that instead of all garbage, I need to write about really necessary and demanded things) But there is something to write about, starting from an electric dryer for fruits and ending with a lawn mower. I couldn’t pull myself together, and even more so, I’m not special in technology, but I will write simply from the point of view of an ordinary consumer, so do not judge strictly.

Today I want to talk about a cool refrigerator that has been living in our country for more than a year.

We have a large family, in addition, we have our own garden, vegetable garden, so it was important that the refrigerator was large and spacious. Samsung has long established itself in our family, there are many appliances of this company, including refrigerators (in apartments) that have been operating for 15 years. Therefore, here dad chose the refrigerator of a proven Samsung company.

There is a 3 year warranty.

There are video reviews from online stores to better understand what a refrigerator is.

The refrigerator is quite large, but it is very stylish and looks cool. At the dacha, all the equipment is in such a silver color, so it fits perfectly into the kitchen and harmoniously combines with everything. By the way, on the side it is slightly darker and matte, and the front doors are lighter glossy.

The LED display located on the front panel displays the temperature in the working chambers. In just a few touches you can set all the necessary parameters for the operation of the refrigerator.

The display goes blank after a while after closing the door.

And if you do not close the door for a long time, then the refrigerator starts to squeak (not nasty, quietly).

► Volt Control System

This refrigerator features the advanced Volt Control system. It protects the refrigerator from power surges. If there are excessive fluctuations in the network, the equipment will automatically turn off. When the tension returns to normal, it will resume its work.

Strange, but for some reason the store was forced to buy a voltage stabilizer. Either the workers themselves did not know about this system, or in order to specifically vparit something. But dad just in case bought and connected the stabilizer.

The built-in vertical LED panel located on the rear wall of the refrigerator, unlike overhead lighting, does not take up space, freeing up space for tall food packages and providing a good overview of the products. Its other advantage is high profitability. LED light sources consume 8-10 times less energy than conventional incandescent lamps, and heat up less during operation.

► Convenient cold store (right)

The useful volume of the refrigerator is 361 liters. It has 4 shelves (3 of tempered glass), and two large drawers, where it is convenient to store even bulk products, including melons and cabbage. The door equipment is represented by four baskets that can be adjusted in height. It is convenient to store sauces, spices, medicines, packages with juice and milk, and cans of drinks in them.

The freezer is equipped with an ice generator represented by a rotating tray. There are four shelves and two spacious drawers in the compartment. The power of freezing is 12 kg per day. Provided autonomous cold preservation for 24 hours.

The freezer, although large, still bought separately a large freezer, so surely all the garden supplies fit.

Still concerning any technologies:

► Twin cooling technology

In the presented refrigerator, an innovative Twin cooling system is implemented. She is responsible for the supply of two separate air streams, which accelerates the cooling process of products, while simultaneously maintaining the optimal level of humidity in the chambers. In addition, such a system is responsible for the accurate maintenance of the temperature regime with an accuracy of one degree.

► Multi flow system

A multi-threaded cooling system with access to each shelf ensures uniform temperature distribution in the working chamber, especially after opening the door. Simultaneous cooling of all sections of the refrigerator contributes to the preservation of freshness and taste of products.

I’ll say that ice does not form on the walls of the refrigerator and the products do not freeze. To avoid airing products, you need to store everything in containers or cover with cling film. Products really stay fresh for a long time.

► No frost

This is a cooling system in which cold air is constantly circulating inside the refrigerator and freezer. Thanks to the No Frost cooling system, you will not need to regularly defrost the refrigerator, and the products will cool evenly.

Indeed, nothing freezes even in the freezer and there is no need to completely defrost the refrigerator. In our refrigerator, for example, there is no NoFrost, and this is very noticeable. The back wall of the refrigerator is constantly in the ice and if something is pushed tightly to it, then it is already covered with ice. There is no such thing. I’m generally silent about the freezer, we just have icy growths there, I constantly have to defrost it. Everything is convenient right there and no problems. So the NoFrost system is a really cool thing.

► Inverter compressor (with a 10 year manufacturer's warranty)

It does not turn off, but only reduces the power of the work. Thus, the likelihood that the compressor will burn when turned on is minimal. Using equipment with an inverter type of compressor will allow you to save electricity, evaluate the quiet operation of the device and its durability.

So far, everything works without failures and is rather quiet. The refrigerator does not rustle or make noise.

In general, we are pleased with the refrigerator. Claims to something or something to raise questions - this is not yet available. Everything works, everything seems simple and without unnecessary frills, but at the same time, everything is convenient and functional. And we hope to work more than a dozen years)

Therefore, this refrigerator model is recommended for large families and kitchens.

General description of the manufacturer and refrigerators Samsung

The South Korean group of companies Samsung is one of the most high-tech in the world. The brand has been known since the 1930s. In 1969, teamed up with Sanyo, Samsung Electronics was created. Update and improvement is the main idea of this manufacturer.

According to some types of technology, products under the Samsung brand name occupy leading sales positions in many developed countries.

Samsung refrigerators are based on electronic modules assembled almost flawlessly. The range of refrigerators is very wide: you can choose models with different capacities, different locations and types of freezers, touch or button controls.

Most new Samsung refrigerator models have advanced inventory compressors and patented cooling technologies.

Masters who know how to use refrigerators call Samsung one of the best.

As a small “minus”, experts note the fragility (7-8 years) of the temperature display module: after this period of operation, the display may display incorrect temperature, but this malfunction does not affect the operation of the refrigerator. Given Samsung’s pursuit of excellence, these small holes are eliminated with the development of new models.

One of the main “advantages” of refrigerators of this brand is the Nou Frost technology, in which Samsung “holds the brand” and develops advanced technologies. Add to this the low energy consumption (class A) - and you get a really high-quality refrigerator.

Labeling Samsung Refrigerators

To begin with, we highlight 4 production lines of Samsung refrigerators, which will be described in detail in the next paragraph.

with the bottom location of the freezer - the letter “B” or “L” in the marking,
with the top location of the freezer - “T” is indicated in the marking,
"American type" - the freezer is on the side (side-by-side) - the letter "S" in the marking,
multi-door (more often, 4-door) refrigerators of the French Door type (French door) - are marked with the letter “F”.

Now directly on the labeling.

We will analyze in detail one model - RB37J5000WW / WT, where:
