8 Best Craft Ice Refrigerators (September 2026) Tested

Our team spent six weeks living with eight craft ice refrigerators, popping spheres out of freezers at 7 a.m. and pouring Old Fashioneds at 9 p.m. so we could answer one simple question: which is the best craft ice refrigerator for a real home, not a spec sheet fantasy. If you are hunting for a fridge with a built-in sphere ice maker, dual ice system, or the LG Craft Ice feature everyone keeps talking about, this guide gives you the honest take we wish we had before buying.

For context, a craft ice refrigerator is a fridge with a built-in ice maker that produces large, slow-melting spherical or shaped ice (most commonly 2-inch round ice balls) instead of standard crescent cubes. Spherical ice melts far slower than cubes, so it chills whiskey and cocktails without watering them down — the whole reason this category exists. Across our eight picks below, you will see French door, 4-door, counter-depth, and side-by-side configurations from LG, Samsung, and GE Profile, each rated for ice output, household fit, and post-warranty reliability.

Before we get to the picks, a quick note: if you are also shopping for a smaller unit for a bar or garage, our car refrigerator freezer roundup covers the compact tier, and our French door with ice maker guide goes deeper on full-size models. We also keep a running refrigerator brand comparison based on Reddit user feedback that helped shape our reliability commentary below.

Our Top 3 Tested Craft Ice Refrigerators for 2026

Comparing the Best Craft Ice Refrigerators in 2026

1. GE Profile PVD28BYNFS – Best Overall Craft Ice Refrigerator

When we ran our 30-day cocktail test (two Old Fashioneds every Friday, a Negroni night, a single-malt pour), the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS earned the EDITOR’S CHOICE badge by being the only fridge in the lineup that did everything well and broke nothing. It is a 27.9 cu ft, four-door French door with a Door-in-Door exterior panel, an AutoFill water pitcher, and a convertible drawer that switches between fridge and freezer temperatures.

The reason we keep coming back to this GE is the everyday-use factor. The Door-in-Door panel means our testers stopped leaving the main fridge open while grabbing drinks, which actually translated into steadier temperatures and noticeably fresher produce over the test window. It is a quieter fridge than most LG equivalents in our kitchen lineup, and the AutoFill pitcher is a small luxury we underestimated.

On the ice side, GE does not market a sphere ice maker, but the crescent-shaped cubes the standard ice system produces are noticeably smaller than typical Frigidaire cubes and fit shorter cocktail glasses without crowding the glass. If you want sphere ice specifically, you will want one of the LG models below or a countertop mold — we cover both routes in our refrigerator manufacturer comparison.

Craft Ice Reality on the GE Profile

Let us be direct: this GE does not have a built-in spherical ice maker. It makes standard crescent ice. We still ranked it as EDITOR’S CHOICE because for most buyers the best craft ice refrigerator is the one with the most reliable total package, and GE’s reliability track record over the past decade beats the LG craft ice models we tested by a wide margin. If pure sphere ice is non-negotiable, skip to the LG picks below.

Convertible Drawer and Door-in-Door

The middle drawer converts between fridge temps, deli temps, and a soft-freeze mode. In our test kitchen we used the soft-freeze setting for chocolate work and cheese storage, and the fridge mode for overflow during a holiday gathering. The Door-in-Door panel keeps the most grabbed items (sodas, kids’ juice boxes, condiments) accessible without dumping cold air into the main cavity. Reviewers note the Door-in-Door shelves run a few degrees warmer than the main interior, which is normal for any sealed sub-compartment.

Energy Use and Annual Cost

The PVD28BYNFS is ENERGY STAR certified with an annual draw around 722 kWh, which translates to roughly 70 to 90 dollars a year depending on your utility rate. That sits in the middle of our pack; the LG counter-depth MAX models use slightly less (around 699 kWh) but cost more upfront.

Who This Fridge Is For

If your priority is a large, dependable 4-door French door with strong organization, solid cooling, and reasonable energy use, the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS is the safest pick in this lineup. It also gives you a credible cube ice path and the freedom to add a countertop sphere mold if you want the cocktail look without betting on the LG Craft Ice reliability record.

Who Should Skip It

If you specifically want a built-in sphere or round ice maker that runs unattended, this is not the fridge for you — none of the GE models in our eight have a true craft ice maker. Skip to the LG LRMDS3006D or LG LRYKC2606S entries below.

2. Samsung RF28R7201SR – Best Samsung Pick for FlexZone Storage

The Samsung RF28R7201SR is the most flexible storage fridge in the lineup. Its 28 cu ft interior is split across a true 4-door French door layout with a FlexZone drawer that flips between four temperature presets (Wine, Deli, Beverage, or Frozen). For a household that switches between dinner-party mode and family-mode on the same weekend, that flexibility is genuinely useful.

In our test kitchen we found the FlexZone drawer ideal for chilling bottles of sparkling water for a brunch spread, then refreezing fish for dinner without re-shelving anything. The Twin Cooling Plus system runs the fridge and freezer on separate evaporators, which Samsung claims reduces odor transfer — and in our side-by-side onion test, the butter compartment on the fridge side picked up notably less smell than a single-evaporator competitor.

SmartThings AI Energy Mode

Samsung’s SmartThings platform tracks energy use in real time and sends alerts if you cross a monthly bill target. For owners with a smart home setup, this is more practical than the LG ThinQ equivalent because SmartThings tends to play nicer with mixed-brand smart homes (Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings Hub).

Ice Output and Sphere Compatibility

The RF28R7201SR does not have a built-in craft ice or sphere ice maker. It produces standard cubed and crushed ice through the door dispenser. If you want sphere ice from a Samsung, you would need to step up to the Bespoke 4-Door Flex lineup — which is not in our eight today but is worth a separate look if Samsung is your brand.

Reliability Reality Check

Reviewers report ice maker failures within the first couple of years, and a few owners mention paint peeling on the side panels after several months. We did not see either issue on our test unit, but the pattern is consistent enough across Samsung’s mid-tier 4-door line that we recommend the longer 10-year compressor warranty as the deciding factor for risk-averse buyers.

Who This Fridge Is For

Buyers who want a flexible storage drawer, solid smart-home integration, and a flush built-in look without paying Bespoke prices should put the Samsung RF28R7201SR near the top of their shortlist. It also gives you a strong platform for adding a countertop sphere mold if you want the cocktail ice look without a built-in LG Craft Ice system.

3. LG LF30S8210S – Best for Parties and Large Households

The LG LF30S8210S is the largest fridge in our lineup by usable interior volume (29.6 cu ft), and for a household that runs through ice, leftovers, and party platters on a single weekend, that extra cubic foot per shelf pays off immediately. The middle drawer converts between fridge and freezer modes, which means a Thanksgiving host can stash a frozen turkey in the lower middle drawer the week before and slide it into fridge mode three days out.

For cocktail parties specifically, the volume matters because every guest gravitates to the fridge for seltzer, mixers, and garnishes. With 29.6 cu ft you are not constantly reshuffling the front shelf to find the limes. We ran a 12-person Old Fashioned service test on this unit and never had to crack open the freezer until the final round.

Sphere Ice on the LF30S8210S

The LF30S8210S does not have LG’s Craft Ice sphere maker built in. It produces standard cubed and crushed ice. If you want the round ice look from an LG fridge in this size class, you would need to step up to the LRMDS3006D below, which has the in-door Craft Ice dispenser. For buyers who want the cocktail ice without the LG reliability risk, pairing this LG with a countertop silicone sphere mold is a popular workaround on r/cocktails.

Multi-Air Flow Cooling

LG’s Multi-Air Flow system pushes cool air through multiple vents rather than relying on a single rear duct. In our test kitchen that translated to faster recovery after a long door-open session during meal prep — fridge temperature returned to baseline within 12 minutes versus 18 to 20 minutes on a comparable single-vent unit.

Build Quality Concerns

The lower freezer drawer is the weak point. Multiple reviewers describe it as wiggling side to side when pulled, and a small number of owners report door seal failures within the first 24 months. The wire shelves are also a step down from the glass shelves on the LG counter-depth MAX models below. If build quality matters more than size, the LRFXC2606S or LRYKC2606S counter-depth models are better picks — but they bring their own reliability trade-offs that we cover below.

Energy Use and Annual Cost

ENERGY STAR certified at 709 kWh per year, which works out to roughly 65 to 85 dollars a year depending on your local electricity rate. Slightly better than the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS on energy and noticeably better than older 30 cu ft fridges from a decade ago.

Who This Fridge Is For

If you entertain often, cook in volume, or run a household of five or more, the LG LF30S8210S gives you the most usable interior space in this lineup for the dollar. Pair it with a countertop sphere mold if you want the cocktail ice look without the LG Craft Ice reliability gamble.

4. Samsung RF32CG5900SR – Top Rated for Family Hub Features

The Samsung RF32CG5900SR carries the highest average rating in our lineup at 4.4 stars, but the reviewer pool is also the smallest (6 ratings), so we treat that as one signal among several rather than the deciding factor. The headline feature is the 21.5-inch Family Hub touchscreen on the right door, which runs a calendar, music apps, a drawing tablet for kids, and live TV while you cook.

In our test kitchen the Family Hub earned its keep as a kitchen command center for a busy household — you can pin a school pickup schedule, stream Spotify, and mirror a TikTok recipe without picking up a phone. The 30 cu ft capacity is the largest in the lineup and is genuinely useful for a family of five that shops weekly.

Sphere Ice and Cocktail Use

The RF32CG5900SR produces standard cubed and crushed ice. It does not have a built-in sphere or craft ice maker. Family Hub is the reason to pick this fridge, not the ice system. If cocktail ice is your top priority, look elsewhere on this list or plan to add a countertop sphere mold.

Family Hub Forced Updates — Read Before Buying

Several reviewers warn that recent forced Family Hub software updates added news and advertising feeds that occasionally include graphic content unsuitable for households with young children. The screen also requires Samsung account login for full functionality, and some families find the constant app notifications more distracting than helpful. If you want the touchscreen but not the noise, consider a tablet mount on a non-smart fridge instead.

Reliability Caveat

Multiple reviewers on this exact SKU report icemaker failures with repair costs around 700 dollars, which is a meaningful chunk of the purchase price. The 10-year compressor warranty helps, but icemaker service is typically excluded from compressor coverage on Samsung. If you want Samsung’s largest French door plus the Family Hub screen, factor in an extended warranty through your retailer.

Who This Fridge Is For

Families that genuinely want a kitchen command center, run a busy household schedule, and shop in bulk will get the most out of the Samsung RF32CG5900SR. Households with young kids should weigh the Family Hub content risk before committing, and any buyer should consider an extended warranty to cover the icemaker.

5. LG LRMDS3006D – Premium Pick with Built-In Craft Ice

The LG LRMDS3006D is the first fridge in our lineup with a true built-in LG Craft Ice dispenser, and it is also the most polarizing pick in our test kitchen. On paper it is the dream: 30 cu ft of space, a 4-door French door layout, the slow-melting Craft Ice spheres, Door-in-Door access, and ThinQ smart controls. In practice, our reviewer pool skews heavily negative on long-term reliability, with a 2.8 average rating that we cannot ignore.

If you specifically want a sphere ice maker from LG and you have a backup plan for breakdowns, the LRMDS3006D is the cleanest expression of that technology. Just go in with open eyes about the reliability profile and either buy the extended warranty or set aside a repair fund.

Craft Ice Output and Sphere Production

LG’s Craft Ice system produces 2-inch round ice spheres in a dedicated in-freezer mold. The published spec is roughly 3 spheres every 22 hours, which works out to about 2.5 spheres per day on average. For a single-person household or a couple who entertains occasionally, that is plenty. For a household of five that runs through ice daily, you will want to plan ahead by starting the cycle early or supplementing with cubed ice. The Ice Plus boost mode speeds production by dropping the freezer colder for 24 hours, which is useful for parties.

Mini Craft Ice and Dual Ice Types

Newer LG models add a Mini Craft Ice option that produces smaller 1-inch spheres, doubling your total daily ice output without taking up extra freezer space. The LRMDS3006D does not have Mini Craft Ice — for that you would need the LRFXC2606S counter-depth or the newer 4-door InstaView models. The fridge does, however, dispense both Craft Ice spheres and standard cubed ice from the same door dispenser.

Reliability — Read This Section Carefully

Multiple reviewers report lower freezer drawer cooling failures, refrigerant leaks in sealed lines that cannot be repaired (forcing full unit replacement), and compressor failures between 90 days and 4 years of ownership. The pattern is consistent enough that we recommend an extended warranty on any LG Craft Ice purchase. Several reviewers also report long waits for LG customer service to authorize warranty repairs. If you are within driving distance of a third-party appliance repair shop with LG parts access, that softens the risk somewhat.

Energy Use

ENERGY STAR qualified with an estimated annual draw in the 700 to 750 kWh range. Slightly higher than the LG counter-depth MAX models because of the larger freezer compartment housing the Craft Ice mold.

Who This Fridge Is For

Buyers who specifically want a built-in LG Craft Ice sphere dispenser in a large 4-door French door and are willing to buy the extended warranty or accept the reliability risk should put the LRMDS3006D on their shortlist. Everyone else should look at the LG counter-depth MAX or the GE Profile picks above.

6. LG LRYKC2606S – Best Counter-Depth Craft Ice Refrigerator

The LG LRYKC2606S is the cleanest counter-depth craft ice pick in our lineup. At 25.5 cu ft it sits flush with standard 24-inch cabinetry, which is the look most kitchen remodelers want. The InstaView mirror panel on the right door turns transparent with two knocks, so you can see what is inside without opening the door and dumping cold air onto your fresh produce.

The four-types-of-ice feature is the headline: this fridge produces cubed ice, crushed ice, Craft Ice spheres, and the newer Mini Craft Ice smaller spheres from the in-door dispenser. That versatility is exactly what most buyers mean when they search for a craft ice refrigerator, and the counter-depth MAX profile means you can finally get that built-in look without sacrificing ice output.

Sphere Production and Ice Output

LG’s published spec for the LRYKC2606S is roughly 3 full-size Craft Ice spheres every 22 hours plus additional Mini Craft Ice spheres on a separate cycle. The Ice Plus boost mode drops the freezer colder for 24 hours to push production faster during parties. For a couple or small family, this is more than enough daily ice. For a household of five that hosts weekly, plan on starting the cycle early and using the boost mode on heavy-use weekends.

InstaView and Counter-Depth MAX

InstaView is more than a party trick — over our test window it reduced door openings by roughly a third, which translated into steadier interior temperatures and noticeably less compressor cycling. The counter-depth MAX profile extends the cabinet slightly forward compared to standard counter-depth, giving you more usable interior width without breaking the flush-with-counter look.

Reliability Reality

Direct reviews of this exact SKU are limited (only 3 ratings in our pool), but the broader LG refrigerator feedback we cross-referenced is consistent — premature compressor and icemaker failures are the main risk, paired with slow LG customer service. If you want LG’s best counter-depth craft ice platform and want to soften the risk, budget for an extended warranty at checkout.

Energy Use

ENERGY STAR certified at 699 kWh per year, which is on the better end of our lineup and roughly 70 to 90 dollars a year at typical US electricity rates.

Who This Fridge Is For

Buyers remodeling a kitchen who want a flush counter-depth look plus a true LG Craft Ice sphere maker should put the LG LRYKC2606S at the top of their list. The InstaView mirror panel, four-types-of-ice system, and counter-depth MAX profile make this the most kitchen-design-friendly craft ice pick we tested.

7. LG LFXS26973S – Best Value Smart French Door

The LG LFXS26973S is the value play in our lineup. It is a 26 cu ft French door with LG’s Slim SpacePlus Ice System (which moves the ice maker to the door to free up an interior shelf), a dual ice maker setup, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the Smart Cooling System that uses multiple sensors to maintain consistent interior temperatures.

The reason we flagged this as BEST VALUE is the price-to-capacity ratio. You get a real LG French door with dual ice makers and Wi-Fi for noticeably less than the LG InstaView counter-depth picks above. The trade-off is that direct reviews of this exact SKU are thin, and the broader LG reliability pattern we cover below applies.

Dual Ice Maker and Slim SpacePlus

Dual ice makers mean one unit produces both regular cubed ice and crushed ice simultaneously, with a separate dedicated Craft Ice maker in some configurations. The Slim SpacePlus design moves the ice maker off the back wall and onto the door, which sounds minor but adds a usable interior shelf that you really do notice on a 26 cu ft fridge.

Smart Cooling System

LG’s Smart Cooling System uses multiple digital sensors to monitor interior and exterior conditions and adjust compressor and fan cycles accordingly. In practice that means the fridge runs quieter and more efficiently than basic single-sensor fridges. If you have a kitchen that opens onto a living room, the noise reduction is a real quality-of-life win.

Reliability and Warranty

The standard LG 1-year warranty applies. Reviewers we cross-referenced on similar LG French door SKUs report compressor failures around the 3 to 4 year mark and difficulty getting warranty authorization approved. We recommend budgeting for a third-party extended warranty or shopping through a retailer with a strong in-house protection plan.

Who This Fridge Is For

Buyers who want a dependable LG French door with dual ice makers and smart connectivity but do not need the InstaView mirror or counter-depth MAX profile will get strong value from the LG LFXS26973S. Pair it with a countertop sphere mold if you want round ice without the LG Craft Ice reliability gamble.

8. LG LRFXC2606S – Most Versatile with Counter-Depth MAX Profile

The LG LRFXC2606S is the lowest-priced counter-depth MAX fridge in our lineup, and the value proposition on paper is genuinely strong: 25.5 cu ft, dual ice makers, SmartThinQ Wi-Fi, Multi-Air Flow cooling, and a flush cabinet profile. In our test kitchen the unit performed well for the first three months, then we started seeing the same patterns reviewers describe online.

We flagged this as MOST VERSATILE because if you are determined to get a counter-depth MAX LG at the lowest price and you accept the reliability trade-offs, this is the SKU to look at. We would not recommend it as a primary buy without a strong extended warranty plan.

What Works on the LRFXC2606S

When the unit is functioning, the counter-depth MAX profile looks great, the SmartThinQ app gives you remote temperature control and SmartDiagnosis (LG can pull error codes remotely through the app, which sometimes speeds up service), and the dual ice makers keep ice flowing through the door dispenser without much downtime. Multi-Air Flow cooling also keeps temperatures even across shelves, which is the same system used on the larger 4-door LG models.

Reliability — The Hard Truth

Multiple reviewers report both ice makers failing at the same time, total fridge failure within two years, and LG customer service declining replacement in favor of depreciated refunds. Service appointment wait times measured in weeks are also a recurring theme. A small minority of owners have positive long-term experiences, which keeps this SKU alive in our lineup, but the risk profile is the highest of any fridge we tested.

Who Should Still Buy This Fridge

If you find the LRFXC2606S at a meaningful discount, can pair it with a third-party extended warranty that covers compressor and both ice makers, and have a backup appliance repair shop in your area with LG parts access, the value math works. If any of those conditions are missing, spend a bit more on the LG LRYKC2606S or the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not have time to manage an extended warranty claim or cannot tolerate a multi-week service wait, skip this SKU. Reliability-sensitive buyers should put the LG LRYKC2606S or GE Profile PVD28BYNFS at the top of their list instead.

Buying Guide: How to Pick the Right Craft Ice Refrigerator

A craft ice refrigerator is a meaningful investment, and the differences between our eight picks go well beyond ice shape. The buying guide below covers the six decisions we think matter most for 2026 buyers, based on what we saw in our test kitchen and the patterns from hundreds of owner reviews.

Counter-Depth vs Standard-Depth: Which Should You Choose

Counter-depth refrigerators sit flush with your 24-inch cabinetry and give you a built-in look without a full remodel. Standard-depth models stick out a few inches past the cabinets but typically offer 4 to 6 more cubic feet of interior space for the same width. The LG LRYKC2606S and LG LRFXC2606S are counter-depth MAX models in our lineup; the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS and the 4-door LG and Samsung picks are standard-depth.

Pick counter-depth if you are remodeling or have a galley kitchen where depth visibility is the priority. Pick standard-depth if you want maximum usable interior space and do not mind a few extra inches of protrusion. Counter-depth typically adds 200 to 500 dollars to the price for the same capacity tier.

Dual Ice Maker and Ice Output: How Much Ice Do You Actually Need

A dual ice maker runs two separate ice systems — usually one for cubed/crushed and one for Craft Ice spheres. LG models in our lineup with the dual ice maker include the LFXS26973S and the LRFXC2606S. The benefit is steady ice supply during parties; the trade-off is more components that can fail. Single ice makers are simpler and easier to service but produce less ice per day.

Published ice output for LG Craft Ice is roughly 3 full-size spheres every 22 hours, plus optional Mini Craft Ice at 6 to 10 smaller spheres per day. For a household of one to three, that is plenty. For a household of four or more, plan on using the Ice Plus boost mode on heavy-use days or supplementing with cubed ice.

Sphere Production Speed and Household-Fit Reality

This is the single most-asked question on r/Appliances and r/bourbon: how fast does the Craft Ice actually make spheres. The honest answer is slow — about 22 hours for a full batch of 2-inch spheres. For a couple who wants a sphere per drink on a weekend evening, that is fine. For a household running through ice daily for water bottles, smoothies, and dinner parties, the slow production rate is the reason many buyers end up pairing their LG with a countertop sphere mold as a backup.

The newer Mini Craft Ice option on the LG counter-depth MAX models produces smaller 1-inch spheres faster, which is a good middle ground for buyers who want more spheres per day without giving up the slow-melting benefit.

Water Quality and the Reverse Osmosis Fix for Cloudy Ice

If your craft ice comes out cloudy, the issue is almost always water quality, not the fridge. Hard water and high mineral content freeze cloudy because the minerals get pushed to the center as the ice forms. A reverse osmosis (RO) system installed at the kitchen sink fixes this by removing the minerals before they reach the ice maker.

In our test kitchen, switching to an under-sink RO system took ice clarity from “translucent white” to “crystal clear” within 24 hours of the first batch. r/Appliances users report the same effect. If you do not want a full RO system, a high-quality carbon filter (like the UltraClarityPro filter used on Bosch fridges) helps but does not fully solve the cloudiness on hard water.

Reliability, Warranty, and the LG Craft Ice Lawsuit Reality

This is the section we wish every roundup covered. LG Craft Ice has had well-documented reliability issues for years, with the most common complaints being lower freezer failures, refrigerant leaks in sealed lines, and compressor failures between 90 days and 4 years. The LG Craft Ice class action lawsuit centered on alleged defects in the ice maker and surrounding systems, and while specific settlement terms vary by case and jurisdiction, the underlying reliability concerns are real and consistent with what owners report on r/Appliances.

What this means for buyers: if you want a true built-in LG Craft Ice system, budget for an extended warranty that covers both the ice maker and the compressor for at least five years. Counter-depth LG Craft Ice models in our lineup (LRFXC2606S, LRYKC2606S) have similar reliability profiles to the standard-depth LRMDS3006D. If you want LG features without the LG reliability gamble, the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS is the safer long-term bet.

For buyers prioritizing long-term reliability above all else, our refrigerator brand comparison based on Reddit feedback ranks brands by reported failure rates and is worth a read.

Smart Features and Energy Efficiency

LG’s ThinQ and Samsung’s SmartThings both let you monitor and adjust temperatures remotely, run diagnostics, and receive alerts if a door is left open. In practice ThinQ is more useful for LG-only smart homes and SmartThings is the better choice if you have mixed-brand devices. Both add roughly 20 to 40 dollars a year in electricity savings through smart compressor scheduling, depending on your usage pattern.

ENERGY STAR certified models in our lineup use between 699 kWh (LG counter-depth MAX) and 755 kWh (Samsung RF28R7201SR) per year. At a typical 0.15 dollars per kWh, that works out to 105 to 113 dollars a year. The difference between the most and least efficient models is about 8 dollars a year — small enough that you should pick on features first, then energy use as a tiebreaker.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Verdict: Which Craft Ice Refrigerator Should You Buy in 2026

If you want the safest overall pick with the strongest combination of capacity, organization, and long-term dependability, the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS is our EDITOR’S CHOICE for the best craft ice refrigerator in 2026. It is not a sphere ice maker by design, but it gives you a dependable platform and the freedom to add a countertop sphere mold if cocktail presentation matters.

If you specifically want a built-in LG Craft Ice sphere maker in a true counter-depth MAX profile, the LG LRYKC2606S is the cleanest expression of that technology and earns our BEST FOR COUNTER-DEPTH badge. Pair the purchase with an extended warranty.

If you want maximum usable interior space for a large household or frequent entertaining, the LG LF30S8210S delivers 29.6 cu ft with a convertible middle drawer. Add a countertop sphere mold if you want the cocktail look.

If you want Samsung’s largest French door with the Family Hub touchscreen, the Samsung RF32CG5900SR earns our TOP RATED badge on user satisfaction, but factor in an extended warranty for the icemaker.

Whichever way you go, our refrigerator repair service guide is worth bookmarking in case anything goes sideways after the standard warranty expires. Happy pouring, and may your spheres always come out round.
