Frigidaire FRSS2623AS Side-by-Side Refrigerator vs Samsung RS27T5200SR Side-by-Side Refrigerator

Buy the Frigidaire if you want a simple, reliable side-by-side with strong owner ratings and no smart features to go wrong. Buy the Samsung if capacity matters most: it holds about 1.8 cu. ft. more and has a fingerprint-resistant finish. The Frigidaire scores higher with owners (4.6 vs 4.3), while Samsung owners repeatedly complain about slow ice production and a messy dispenser. Neither is counter depth, so measure your space before either.

  • Choose the Frigidaire if you want the better-liked, simpler fridge with a proven ice maker and no app or voice features to fail.
  • Choose the Samsung if you need the largest interior in a 36-inch side-by-side and want a smudge-resistant finish.

What people mention

  • CoolingPraisedReviewers report steady temperatures and less freezer burn with EvenTemp cooling.
  • NoiseMixedSome owners find it quiet, while others say the compressor and ice maker are noticeably loud.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a family of four?
The Samsung, on space. Its 27.4 cu. ft. gives you more room in both compartments. The Frigidaire is the safer pick if you would rather avoid dispenser complaints.
Which one lasts longer?
Both are mainstream side-by-sides with similar lifespans. The Frigidaire has the stronger owner record, and Samsung owners report more ice maker and dispenser trouble, which is the part most likely to need service.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Only if capacity and the fingerprint-resistant finish matter to you. You give up some owner satisfaction and gain about 1.8 cu. ft. and a cleaner-looking door.
Does either fit a standard 36-inch opening?
Yes. Both are 36 inches wide and about 70 inches tall. The Frigidaire is slightly shallower, at 32.5 inches without the handle.
Do both have an ice maker and water dispenser?
Yes, both have an external dispenser with filtered water and ice. The Frigidaire's filter is rated to reduce up to 99% of contaminants; Samsung owners complain more about ice output.
Is either smart or app-connected?
The Samsung is marketed as smart. The Frigidaire has no app or voice assistant, which some buyers prefer for fewer failure points.
