Samsung Frost Free Fridge Freezer - Black vs — Comparison

The Samsung RB34C600EBN is a frost free fridge freezer in black at £549, while the Samsung RB38C602ESA is a Series 6 SpaceMax model in silver at £699. The RB38C602ESA's name points to a 70/30 split with a larger fridge share, which is the main thing that sets it apart from the 60/40 RB34C600EBN.

The RB34C600EBN has 251 litres in the fridge and 114 litres in the freezer, four fridge shelves, three freezer drawers, a wine rack, a door alarm and electronic temperature control. It runs at 35dB, with an E energy class and 260kWh a year, and its reversible doors and fast freeze function add flexibility. Buyers of the RB38C602ESA say it offers more usable space than their old fridge freezers, and the silver finish suits a modern kitchen.

Buyers of the RB34C600EBN praise its quiet operation, deep drawers and generous freezer, and one says the egg holder in the door is a useful touch. Some find the fridge runs a little cold at its default setting, and one notes it can be noisy in warm weather. RB38C602ESA buyers are positive about its roominess, quiet running and sturdy drawers, with one wishing the fresh box were larger.

Bottom line: choose the Samsung RB34C600EBN if you want the lower price, the 60/40 split and a fuller set of features at £549, or choose the Samsung RB38C602ESA if you want the 70/30 split and more fridge space and can pay £150 more.
