Brilliant Fridge for Young Family
After our baby started solids, it was time to upgrade to a larger fridge. This 495L Samsung fridge is a great size for our family of three, with plenty of room on the shelves, drawers, and door inserts. The shelves are wide and quite deep so you can fit plenty on them, there are also two decent sized drawers for fruit and vegetables. The door inserts range in size, with the biggest easily holding a 3L bottle of milk and two 1L cartons. The smallest shelves are enough to hold a few jars or sauce bottles. The freezer has two drawers which are deep and fit plenty. There is a plumbed ice maker which does take up a decent amount of room if in use but it's easy to remove the tray and turn off the ice maker if you prefer the extra room. The non-plumbed water dispenser is good to have. Holds 4L which is plenty. The two small gripes are that it can dribble down the glass as you start/stop using it, and removing the container to fill is not at all easy, so much so that I now just remove the shelf above it and fill it while it's still in the fridge. All around, the fridge is cool and the freezer is very cold with easily adjustable temperatures. There's also a handy PowerCool and PowerFreeze mode, with PowerFreeze being particularly handy if you buy bulk meats to chill them quickly. Externally, the fridge has a sleek design and a nice finish. It is fingerprint resistant but in the right light some can still be seen, although this would be expected with any metal finish. The unit itself also feels solid with good weight behind the doors and freezer drawer.

Just perfect
The style and looks and possibility of non plumbing water dispenser and spacious cold storage are added value. Fits in small apartments, easy to navigate through narrow door space, and yet gives all the space needed for all essentials.

Just the right size
Just moved to a new house - this fitted the Fridge space perfectly .. first time French doors user - great space use !. The fact that water is connected to Ice maker but not water seemed a bit weird but filling the container works fine . Actively wanted a Japanese not Chinese brand and trust Samsung products - Good Guys pricing was great .

Things to consider
Its 3.5 star energy rating and 495L capacity make it solid for everyday family use, but shoppers wanting stronger energy performance or larger storage may prefer a higher-end model.
Family suitability score
8/10 - Strong capacity split, easy-access layout, water dispenser and ice maker suit everyday family use well.
Entertaining suitability
8/10 - Automatic ice maker, chilled water and large bottle storage make it handy for guests and gatherings.
Fresh food storage performance
8/10 - Twin Cooling Plus, big crispers and 330L of fridge space support solid fresh food organisation and storage.
Energy efficiency vs category
6/10 - The 3.5 star rating is acceptable for this style and size, but below more efficient newer alternatives.
Kitchen space fit
Best suited to kitchens with an 81.7 cm wide cavity; designed to fit many Australian homes.
Key benefits
- 495L Total Capacity: Gives medium to large households enough room to organise weekly groceries across separate fresh and frozen zones.
- Twin Cooling Plus: Cools the fridge and freezer independently to support more stable storage conditions for fresh food and frozen items.
- Non-Plumbed Water Dispenser: Delivers chilled water without needing a mains water connection, making placement more flexible.
- Automatic Ice Maker: Keeps ice ready for cold drinks and entertaining without manual tray filling.
- French Doors with Freezer Drawer: Makes fresh food easier to access at eye level while keeping frozen items grouped below.
- Anti-Fingerprint Finish: Helps the silver exterior stay cleaner-looking in busy family kitchens.
- Big Bottle Door Bins: Creates convenient storage for tall drink bottles and larger beverage containers.
- 3.5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers moderate energy performance for a French door fridge in this size category.
Q: Does the water dispenser need plumbing in an Australian kitchen?
A: No. This Samsung fridge has a non-plumbed water dispenser with a refillable internal tank, so it can go in kitchens without a water line nearby. The trade-off is that chilled water depends on manually topping up the tank.
Q: How does the automatic ice maker work without plumbing?
A: Samsung SRF5300SD includes an automatic ice maker and the fridge does not need a household water connection. It suits buyers who want ready ice without plumbing, but the refrigerator relies on its own internal water system rather than a fixed mains line.
Q: Will this fridge fit a standard Australian fridge cavity?
A: It suits kitchens with an 81.7cm wide cavity, which makes it a practical French door option where wider models may not fit. Check height, depth and door-opening clearance as well, because cavity width alone does not confirm a full fit.
Q: Is the freezer big enough for bulk frozen groceries?
A: Yes. The freezer drawer gives you 165L of space, which is useful for family staples, meal prep and larger frozen packs. It is better suited to a full weekly shop than a small freezer section, while keeping frozen food separate from the fridge.
Q: What does Twin Cooling Plus mean for everyday food storage?
A: Twin Cooling Plus means the fridge and freezer are cooled independently instead of sharing the same airflow. That supports more stable storage conditions for fresh and frozen food, which is useful in busy households where the doors are opened often.
Q: Is the 3.5 star rating good for a French door fridge?
A: Samsung SRF5300SD has a 3.5 star energy rating. That is reasonable for a 495L French door fridge, though a higher-starred fridge in the same size class would generally have lower running costs if energy use is a priority.
