What is it?
An American-style fridge-freezer packed with technology and designed to efficiently cool or freeze food in ways that maximise goodness and flavour.
We have all coveted a larger fridge-freezer at some point: be it the festive or barbecue seasons when your kitchen is crammed with leftovers you're loath to throw away or those occasions when that pesky yogurt pot won't squeeze in after a big grocery shop.
The not-so imaginatively named RF9000 from Samsung offers abundant space in a whopping 644-litre capacity with enough sleek features to stop even Gordon Ramsay from boiling over.
Good points?
The most impressive aspect of the RF9000 is the Cool Select Zone technology which can convert the bottom right compartment into either a fridge or a freezer using a customised temperature control.
This flexibility gives greater storage options without compromising space – a failing of some similar products in the past that have only offered this option in tiny shelf drawers.
There are loads of neat touches that add pleasure to the storage experience, such as foldable drawers providing more vertical real-estate for housing bottles.
Bad points?
This appliance doesn't come cheap. The water and ice dispenser requires some tricky plumbing so probably not a DIY job.
Best for ...
Those who have the kitchen space and financial means to fill its cavernous confines.
Avoid if ...
You like a quiet kitchen as there is a distinct humming that emanates from the RF9000.
Score: 9/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
