The Samsung RFG297AAWP is a French-door refrigerator that boasts an impressive capacity of 29 cubic feet, plus an array of extras, including a filtered water and ice dispenser, child lock, slide-out glass shelves, automatic cooling boost, storage bins for four gallon-sized jugs in the doors and LED lighting. It is Energy Star-rated and available in white, black, stainless steel and platinum. Owner feedback for this model is mostly positive, but we did read an unusually large number of complaints about underperforming ice makers. This refrigerator is also more expensive than many. Another French-door refrigerator from Samsung, the 26-cubic-foot RF266AEWP (*Est. $1,450), isn't as large but receives stronger recommendations from experts and owners.

The Samsung RFG297AAWP isn't included in professional tests, but we found plenty of owner reviews for this model at BestBuy.com, Sears.com and Samsung.com.
