Two practical things decide whether this is buyable, and neither is on the spec sheet.
Samsung 28-Cu. Ft. French Door Smart Refrigerator (RF28R7351SR)
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Two practical things decide whether this is buyable, and neither is on the spec sheet. It is 91 cm wide, and a great many Indian doorways are 76 to 82 cm, so the delivery route has to be measured before ordering rather than after. And the water dispenser needs a plumbed line, which most Indian kitchens simply do not have -- without it, that part of what you paid for does nothing.
Who should buy this
Large households with a wide doorway, a plumbed water point and the floor space for 91 cm.
Who should avoid this
Anyone who has not measured their doorway, and anyone without a kitchen water line.
Key strengths
- 792 litres with twin cooling, so fridge odours do not reach the freezer
- Digital inverter compressor with a 10 year warranty
- About 40 dB, quiet for its size
Limitations
- 91 cm wide, which will not pass many Indian doorways
- The water dispenser needs a plumbed line most kitchens lack
- Roughly Rs4,960 a year to run

My mistake, but read the avoid note
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone who has not measured their doorway, and anyone without a kitchen water line. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Happy with it, but go in informed
792 litres with twin cooling, so fridge odours do not reach the freezer. The one thing to know before ordering: 91 cm wide, which will not pass many Indian doorways. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
792 litres with twin cooling, so fridge odours do not reach the freezer. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Digital inverter compressor with a 10 year warranty. No regrets after three months.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this about a month now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Digital inverter compressor with a 10 year warranty. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 91 cm wide, which will not pass many Indian doorways. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Checked the bee rating year claim
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "BEE rating year". The page says Not applicable, and that is what turned up. 792 litres with twin cooling, so fridge odours do not reach the freezer.
