Samsung 458L Bottom Mount SRL456LS / SRL459MB / SRL451BLS Series

First the positives: the internal lighting in the fridge section is very good and I've found it to be quite energy efficient. I also like the styling. However the ergonomics are poor, the door handle is too low making it awkward to open and the internal configuration is an odd size for standard items and bottles, even after adjustment. The fridge can also be very noisy at times when the invertor is ramping up. I haven't had any reliability issues so far (owned about 2 years) and the temperature control seems fine.

This fridge was purchased to replace a different brand that was slightly faulty.
Features we like are;

Size; We needed it to fit in a particular spot without being too wide

Left Hand Door Hinge; This fridge is actually one of very few on which the hinges can be switched around so the doors open the other way, and I think it's probably the only brand that still covers you with warranty if you do it yourself.

Electronic control panel on the inside not on the outside; This is one feature we looked for because I feel the fact that the electronic...

Our appliance is 4 years old. We changed the handing of the doors which resulted in the freezer not sealing whereupon the samsung approved technician replaced the seal TWICE with a new one and agreed we weren`t at fault. The freezer seal has failed. Not happy

I was promised a delivery on 14/04/2021. Received a message on 13/04/2021 that the delivery is going to be next day. Nothing was delivered. Called up Samsung and they did not have any idea on why it was not delivered. Samsung asked me to check with the courier company. Called up courier company and the courier company said that the items were not available at the Samsung warehouse. Called up Samsung again and I was promised delivery on 16/04/2021. Nothing delivered again. Called Samsung and the customer service rep has no idea and can not do an...

I’ve seen bad comments on all the other brands even if there’s some great reviews, so if some people just got a bad experience I think it’s just bad luck! I believe no product is perfect so I just go with the brands which are more experienced in the field. Even some of electronic products I have which is made in China has been running for years without issue, so I believe it’s just a matter of luck. Digital inverter tech saves energy and it’s quite so I chose this Samsung fridge, some say the tech is something that is cheap to make per-se, but ...

The Samsung SRL456LS bottom mount fridge is the perfect size. Its stainless steel exterior looks stylish, and has clean lines with nothing protruding. The interior is roomy and everything is easy to see. The bottle rack is a perfect way of keeping the shelves clear for other produce. The freezer section is roomy with three drawers and a manual ice maker. The perfect mid-sized fridge.

Had this fridge nearly 2 years now and it has been brilliant. Had an issue with one of the freezer drawers breaking and without question Samsung had a replacement sent out within a few days of sending photos of the damage. Haven't received this kind of service from anyone before.
Would highly recommend Samsung as a company as well as this fridge!

Bought in January 2020. I love the look. Maintaining food temp is great. Shelves are great. My only concern happened after 2 weeks of buying it. Fridge seal keeps coming off, week later so is the freezer seals. After emailing/ numerous phone calls back and forth with Samsung for almost a month, they replaced the unit (seals weren’t available to order due to COVID-19) So far so good, until this month that the freezer seals are coming off again. They sent a technician yesterday to replace seal. Hoping this would be the end of my concern.

I was in the market for buying a new fridge, this one had a decent discount and had a good size, the freezer part is specially nice because of the drawers so it can hold lots of items, I got into an issue after 3-4 months where my freezer had a loose seal, but was corrected by samsung the next week and was good ever since

The fridge is great cools and freezes perfectly and looks amazing - the only issue I have is the vegies tend to freeze in the crisper. Good size for 2-4 people

Fridge is running well, maintains temperature and it’s good to have a visible thermometer when you open the door. Lighting is really good with led lights on each side. Didn’t think I would need the bottle rack that slides in under a shelf same goes for the shelf that the front half can slide back to allow taller items to be stored. Have used both these features a lot and find it wakes for better organisation. Freezer below is good with an ice drawer and 3 other drawers of different sizes, could fit a lot into them. We have a four person household and it has enough room for us.

The fridge is modern and fits perfectly with my daughters kitchen. Easy to both open and close. Plenty of room in this fridge for all of a two person household requirements

We've had this fridge for about 8 months and it so far hasn't skipped a beat. Maintains temp nicely and is easy to clean. My only problem with it is how easily it scratches, marks and dents. I know that we should have known better when buying a black fridge but it's still disappointing. Looks great when it's new!

I bought a SAMSUNG SR451BLS fridge last Thursday. I’ve found the fridge is not cooling, I set the temperature to the lowest 1˚c on the control panel and tried not to open the fridge for a whole night, I then test the temperature on the next very early morning, the milk bottle store on the door side is 8.8˚c and the food and vegies inside is 5.4˚c. The meat which I put in fridge to thaw on Friday and cooked last night has gone bad. I am seeking a solution with the retailer. A very bad customer experience!

The black color was my mistake to buy. You have to clean it all the time. scratches will be easily visible. Although the space and the cooling is good. And not really noisy. Temperature setting options are good but it’s just a black color which I now regret full stop.
