4 Door French Door Refrigerator Series 8 SpaceMax 488L · Full specifications, honest pros & cons and where to find today's best UK price.
Samsung RF48A401EB4 at a Glance
The Samsung RF48A401EB4 is a 488L black French door fridge freezer aimed at a busy family kitchen. That splits into 329L of fridge space and 159L of freezer capacity.
Total No Frost stops ice building up in the freezer, so you never have to empty it out and defrost it by hand. SpaceMax slim-wall insulation squeezes more usable litres inside without making the cabinet any bigger on the outside. Twin Cooling Plus runs separate airflows for the fridge and freezer, keeping fridge humidity high and stopping freezer odours transferring to fresh food.
It measures 179.3cm high by 83.3cm wide by 74cm deep, so check the aperture (and the delivery route) before ordering. Energy use is rated E, typical of feature-heavy models but worth factoring into running costs. The official RRP is £1,199, but Samsung models are discounted almost constantly - compare Currys, AO, John Lewis and Samsung's own store before paying full price.
