Samsung RF18A5101SR French Door Refrigerator vs Samsung RF27CG5B30SRAA French Door Refrigerator

Buy the 36-inch RF27CG5B30SRAA if you have the width and want more room, a built-in water and ice dispenser, and a slide-in shelf. Buy the 33-inch RF18A5101SR if your opening is narrow or you want a true counter-depth fit with less energy use. The smaller Samsung has Twin Cooling Plus and recessed handles but no dispenser and no slide-in shelf. The larger one rates 4.7 from 339 owners and adds an AI Inverter Compressor; both are Samsung French doors with Wi-Fi and fingerprint-resistant stainless.

• Choose the RF18A5101SR if your cutout is about 33 inches wide or you want a shallower counter-depth box with lower yearly energy use and no dispenser to plumb.
• Choose the RF27CG5B30SRAA if you have 36 inches of width and want 8 more cubic feet, filtered water and ice at the door, and a slide-in shelf for tall items.
