New refrigerator
Here is the thing about "new" players in large appliances. Do they have more than a couple years of production behind them
so you know you will have access to parts and service for as long as they last? I would worry a little about
Samsung because of this, and would rather go with a brand that has been around for a while.
Also, I have read that a refrigerator that is so large that it is about half or more empty most of the time is much less
efficient to operate than a smaller one which is mostly full most of the time. I would rather have one inconveniently
full at certain times, than one that would be half empty and more costly to operate.
Plus, there is always Murphy's Law: available space will get filled up. Then you maybe would be throwing a lot of
stuff out because you didn't get around to using it before it spoiled. Except for things like flavored vinegars, oils,
and salad dressings and condiments, for example, things that have to be refrigerated have a relatively short "fresh"
life, and a small family or one or two persons can use only so much in a week or two. Just my take on fridge size.
