Choose the RS27T5200SR if you have 36 inches of width and want 27.4 cu. ft. plus an in-door ice and water dispenser for less money.

Pros

Cons
  • Not ENERGY STAR certified; rated 728 kWh per year.

What reviewers say

Samsung rf22a4111sr French Door Refrigerator

Owners of Samsung's narrow French door models generally rate them well for fitting small spaces while offering full-size features. Common complaints center on the icemaker and on Samsung service rather than cooling performance.

Pros
  • Fits where 36-inch French door fridges will not
  • Quiet operation for a full-size refrigerator
  • Roomier than expected inside
  • Attractive stainless finish
Cons
  • Icemaker can be slow or prone to jams
  • Freezer space reduced by the icemaker bin
  • Some reports of service delays for warranty repairs
  • Deep body sticks out past counters

Samsung RS27T5200SR side-by-side refrigerator with ice maker

Reviewers like the roomy interior, layout and looks, but the ice maker and dispenser draw the most criticism. Complaints center on low ice output and poor dispenser design, and one reviewer reports a unit that could not be repaired.

Pros
  • Roomy interior in both fridge and freezer
  • Recessed handles that don't stick out
  • Sturdy, deep door shelves
  • Ice maker in the door saves space
Cons
  • Ice maker produces too little ice
  • Ice bucket and dispenser poorly designed
  • Ice comes out as a mix of cubed and crushed
  • Higher amp draw than similar-size models
Reviews
  • Cheap engineering / design

Questions and answers

Which is better for a small kitchen?
The RF22A4111SR. At 29.9 in wide and 66.7 in tall it fits openings the 36 in RS27T5200SR cannot. Check your cutout before buying either.
Is the bigger fridge worth it?
The RS27T5200SR gives you 5.4 more cu. ft. and costs $249 less as of November 5, 2026. Take it if you have the width and can live with the weaker ice maker.
Which one costs less to run?
The RF22A4111SR, which is ENERGY STAR certified. The RS27T5200SR is not certified and is rated at 728 kWh per year.
Which has the better ice maker?
Neither is a strong point. The RF22A4111SR keeps its ice maker in the freezer with no door dispenser. The RS27T5200SR has a dispenser, but reviewers complain about low ice output and a poorly designed bucket.
Do either fit a standard 36-inch space?
Only the RS27T5200SR is built for it at exactly 36 in wide. The RF22A4111SR is 29.9 in wide and needs filler or a narrower cabinet run.
Which is more reliable?
There is no clear winner from ratings alone: 4.5 out of 5 from 1,000 ratings for the RF22A4111SR, 4.3 from 5,504 for the RS27T5200SR. The larger sample on the RS27T5200SR surfaces more ice maker complaints.
