So everyone, welcome to another video here on the channel! And today's video will be a little different because we won't be analyzing a television like we 're used to seeing here on the channel, but rather this Samsung refrigerator that's here next to me. And this video here is going to be really cool because I'm going to present to you the main positive and negative characteristics of this refrigerator and, to make this video even more interesting, in a little while I'm going to show you some comparative images of this refrigerator against another model as well.
from Samsung so we can see whether or not it's worth buying this Samsung model. But come on guys, what can we say about her? This one is Samsung's RB50 refrigerator, which is part of the new Evolution line that Samsung launched in 2024 here in Brazil.
And it's worth mentioning that this one is the most expensive model in this Evolution line. And as you can see, this is a very large refrigerator and also very spacious inside. And precisely because it is a very large refrigerator, I want to start this video here by talking about how the process of installing it in our environment was, after all, if it is a large refrigerator, I imagine that some people might be worried about the Difficulty moving this model around the house.
Regarding this issue, this model has two wheels that are on the bottom, so pushing it backwards is not that difficult. In fact, as you can see in these images, I can even move it alone, however, for safety reasons, if possible, it would be nice to have a second person help when moving this refrigerator, because although it is relatively easy to push it from here to there, push it to the side is much more difficult and also pushing from the back to the front is also a little more complicated, so the help of a second person would be interesting. And also remembering when moving the refrigerator, the most recommended thing is to do so when it is empty.
And taking advantage of the fact that I mentioned the wheels at the bottom, it's worth mentioning that underneath the refrigerator at the front it has these two little feet with height adjustments that you can now see in the images and this is a very relevant detail because With this you can leave the refrigerator very level and firm on the floor. And another important part about this part of the installation is that according to the manual, Samsung recommends that you leave a space of at least 5 cm between the refrigerator and any other furniture or object. And this distance is important so that heat can be dissipated more efficiently, helping the refrigerator to function better.
And to conclude this part of the installation, the refrigerator's power cable is 2 meters long and according to the manual, it is not recommended that you use multiple socket extensions. But now that we've finished this part about installation, what can we say about the quality of this refrigerator? In this sense, I'm going to start straight away by telling you what the main feature of this refrigerator is from my point of view, as you may have already noticed the configuration of this refrigerator is of the Inverse type, that is, this means that the refrigerator is here at the top.
The freezer is here at the bottom, which is the opposite of what we are generally used to seeing in most refrigerators, where the freezer is at the top and the refrigerator is at the bottom. And it's worth mentioning that this type of configuration really pleased me and it's the first time I've tested an Inverse refrigerator like this and I really liked it because, when I stop to think about it, it really makes sense for the refrigerator to be on the top, after all, it's the part of the refrigerator that we use most frequently, so we can get anything in the refrigerator without having to bend down. And to make this part of the video more illustrative, I'm going to give you a very didactic example here, so look, notice that here in the refrigerator I can pick up anything in here without having to bend down.
Including, here in the fruit and vegetable drawer , so I can pick it up without having to bend down. But now look how interesting I am I'm going to close the fruit drawer here, I'm going to close the fridge and I'm going to use the magic of editing in a clap to make the other Samsung fridge appear on the side so let's go, clap, the fridge has already appeared and that's how we go. the video doesn't need to be pushed or anything like that.
So just look at the size of the difference here we have a more traditional refrigerator with a cooler at the bottom and I'm going to get the same apple from the same compartment as the one below and look how I have to bend down to get the apple even to pick it up. anything on these shelves I would have to bend down a lot so it's not so practical or comfortable, you know. And if you are a younger person, I understand that having to bend down like that may not be a big problem.
However, I believe that most people will agree with me that it is much more practical and comfortable to be able to pick up things without having to bend down, especially for someone who may have some kind of problem or have difficulty bending down frequently. But of course not everything is perfect because in the case of this fridge whether I like it or not I will have to keep bending down to get something from the freezer, however as I use the freezer less frequently I would actually prefer the fridge in the format it came in. .
But now what can we say about the internal part of this refrigerator? Was it actually put to good use in practice? In terms of space, here we have a refrigerator with a total capacity of 462 liters, 404 liters in the refrigerator, which is the upper part, and 122 liters in the freezer, which is the lower part.
In this sense, I would say that the brand managed to make very good use of the internal space and the cool thing is that this Inclusive refrigerator has some interesting differences, for example, to make it more obvious to you, I even separated a 5-liter bottle here and notice that it doesn't fit here in the fridge unless I lay it down but let's say I wanted to put it upright in here notice that it doesn't fit anywhere, however, this fridge has a really cool issue which is this shelf here I can push it goes inside this way, gaining a lot of space and the bottle fits easily and there is an extra because if I wanted to put more of these bottles or something bigger like a watermelon for example, I can fold this part, gaining a lot more internal space here inside the refrigerator. So this is a difference that I thought was really cool, that all refrigerators could have because it is a very practical issue here and in everyday life it works very well. And taking advantage of the fact that I still have the other Samsung refrigerator on my side, which in this case is the RT38, I can even show you this difference in practice, if I wanted to put this bottle upright inside the refrigerator, notice that I wouldn't be able to, it simply wouldn't It can stand upright, obviously I could remove one of those shelves and it would fit in here, however it's not a very practical issue, you know, I really thought it was much cooler to have that shelf where you can push it in and even fold it to make more space.
But now let's go back to the RB50 because there are still some interesting differences that I wanted to talk about regarding the internal space of the refrigerator. But first, let me keep this 5-liter bottle here and I'll clap again, but now for another refrigerator to disappear, let's stay here again with the main focus on this one, but don't worry, in a little while I'll clap again for She comes back because there are some other comparisons I want to make with her. Another interesting thing that we have here inside the refrigerator is this top part, which is a kind of drawer where we can store smaller items and the cool thing is that we can push it forward, backward and we can also push it towards one side and the other, I could even push it more here but since there are items I won't do it because I don't want to knock everything over.
And if for some reason you don't like this drawer, you can also remove it from the refrigerator. Another cool thing we have here in the refrigerator part is the following: here on the door we have some shelves that are adjustable, so for example, look at the following here we have these little bottles that don't fit upright here at the bottom and we can even put them lying down but if I wanted to put them upright, notice that they don't have them space for that. However, I can come here and remove this shelf and place it here at the top.
This way, notice that I gain a lot of space, so we can adjust these shelves according to our wishes, so this was another difference that I thought was really cool. And it's worth mentioning that this shelf issue that I just talked about is also present in the other refrigerator, so this part that I just showed isn't Wow, what a revolutionary thing, but it's another cool detail that we have here in this refrigerator. Another thing I liked here is the internal lighting that can really illuminate the refrigerator very well, so if you are in a darker environment, for example, you probably won't have any difficulty finding the food inside.
Moving on to the next feature is the fruit drawer, which I already showed you, which is very spacious and a really cool feature, so I really liked this issue. And before I forget, it's worth mentioning that the refrigerator comes with two of these egg holders, so this one can fit six and this other one we have next door can fit six more. And still talking about the internal space, here inside we have the control panel to control the temperature of both the freezer and the refrigerator and in the case of the refrigerator the minimum temperature is 1° and in the freezer it is -23.
And taking advantage of the fact that I mentioned the freezer, I'm even going to open it now so you can take a look and as you'll notice, it's very spacious so it can fit a lot of stuff inside these two drawers, as you can see, and it also fits a lot of stuff on that top shelf, which also It is possible to pull it forward a little to make it easier to grab an item up here. And it's worth saying that if you want to put something bigger here in the freezer, you can remove these two drawers and also the top shelf if you want. And for you to have a better reference of the size of the freezer, look at these images.
If I wanted, it would be possible to place two 2-liter bottles standing on top of each other and I know that in practice, probably no one would organize the freezer that way by placing two bottles. of 2 liters one on top of the other. But I think it's cool to show you these images because this way you have a greater reference of how spacious it really is.
And to give you a better idea about this, I'm going to clap here again for another refrigerator to come back and you'll see exactly how big the difference is. So look guys, I'm going to open the freezer part here and notice that it would be completely impossible to place one on top of the other and it's far from fitting, even clearly showing that the other refrigerator has a much more spacious freezer. I even take the opportunity to show another difference, notice that in the case of this refrigerator, if I place the bottle here like this, it won't close completely and I'll try to close it but it won't close, in the other refrigerator, if I put the same bottle lying down in the same angle, I'm going to lower it here again, notice that it fits easily and I can close it properly without any problems.
And it's worth mentioning that I could put this same bottle in this bottom bottle, not on this bottom shelf, in this bottom drawer and again it closes without any problem, only in this last bottom drawer it wouldn't fit like that, but lying on its side like this it would fit. quietly. And it's worth commenting guys that in this video here I don't want to belittle the other refrigerator which is the RT38 because it is the cheapest in the evolution line, in other words, it was already expected that we would have some differences here especially in relation to size internal.
However, I think it's cool to show you these images because this way you can clearly see the main differences between a more expensive refrigerator versus a cheaper one in the same range. However, if you live alone with at most two people, you won't If you fill the fridge so much, maybe the other one will do the trick, however, if you are looking for a more spacious fridge, I think it would be interesting to show you these images so you can have a better reference of the difference between them. And still talking about the freezer, it is worth mentioning that inside it already comes with an accessory for making ice, which is the one you see here in the image and in practice it works as follows: Here at the top it comes with two ice trays, which are where we put water and after the ice is ready, just turn this lever and the ice will fall and be stored in the bottom compartment.
And I even understand that some people might not like it so much because it is quite big and ends up taking up a considerable amount of space inside the freezer. But if you prefer, you can also remove these two ice cube trays and just leave them in the freezer. And to finish this part about the freezer now comes two details that I didn't like so much, which are issues that could be better from my point of view.
But before I continue, just remember guys, if you've been watching this video so far, I imagine you're enjoying it and you're finding it interesting, so don't forget to give it a thumbs up below as this is extremely important as it helps to increase the relevance of our YouTube channel So I really appreciate the support from each and every one of you. And if you happen to be new to the channel, here's a super tip for you! This tip can help you save more than R$1000 when purchasing this refrigerator and the tip is as follows: Here below, in the description field and in the pinned comments field, we will be placing our official WhatsApp group link and Telegram and for those who don't know, every day there we offer offers on various products including refrigerators, so whenever a refrigerator appears with a really good offer in a reliable store we always let you know and it's completely free to enter and participate.
And when I talked about saving more than R$1000, I'm not exaggerating guys, I'm even going to make the other refrigerator disappear so we can focus 100% on this one now so I can make it very clear to you how you can really save more than R$1,000 on purchase it. Just to give you an idea, at the moment I'm recording this video, this refrigerator on the brand's official website is costing R$5,000, however this is a promotion that you have to pay in cash to get this amount because if you pay in installments the price will already rise a lot and will approach R$6,000. But in our group of offers it has already appeared much cheaper than R$5,000.
It has already appeared for R$4,639, for R$4,499 and for R$4,249. And this refrigerator has also appeared for less than R$4,000 in our WhatsApp and Telegram groups. In other words, a huge discount compared to the official website.
And obviously I don't know if this price below R$4000 will come back or not, anyway if any of these offers come back we will be there letting you know and it's really worth getting in I'm sure you can save a lot if they join the group. But going back to our analysis, as I was saying previously, now I have two criticisms to make regarding the freezer and the first criticism is that it does not have any type of internal lighting when we open it and the second criticism is that it does not have any type of alarm if you forget it open, so if by chance you forget the freezer open it will not emit any type of audible warning unlike the part above the refrigerator like this one, yes if by chance you open it and forget it open this one Yes, it will emit an audible warning. But unfortunately this feature is not available down here in the freezer section.
Now I wanted to talk about something else, which is a cool feature that this refrigerator has, as I said previously, here inside the refrigerator we have a control panel, which is where we can make some commands, such as increase or decrease. the temperature of the refrigerator. However, now comes an important point because this refrigerator has a Wi-Fi connection, that is, you can connect the refrigerator to the app smartthing on your cell phone.
And for those who don't know, this is an official Samsung application that is available for both Android and IOS and through this application we can control several of the brand's Smart products, such as this refrigerator that we are analyzing. And to register the refrigerator on your cell phone, there's not much of a secret. You need to download the app on your cell phone and create an account with Samsung if you don't already have one.
And after logging in here to the app, you need to come here to this plus sign, click on add device, then click on read QR code below and after opening this screen, point the camera at the QR code that is on the refrigerator. It's worth mentioning that this code is located inside the refrigerator, so just point the camera at it and follow the steps that the app tells you to register the refrigerator within SmartHings. And that little noise you are hearing now is the audible alarm since the door was open for a while.
And it's important to mention that if you don't want to, you don't need to download and register for this app as this is just a differentiator that Samsung offers. But I believe that some people will find this application interesting because it has some features that some people may like, for example, if I forget the refrigerator part open, in addition to the refrigerator playing the audible alarm that it has here in the application, I will also receive some notifications warning if the refrigerator is open and saying that it is open and has to be closed. In fact, I can even see here in real time whether the refrigerator is open or closed.
I just think it's a shame that this feature isn't available in the freezer, so if I forget it open, the fridge won't emit any kind of audible alarm and it won't notify me here via the app either. Still talking about the application, it offers us some other interesting options, for example, through it we can activate the PowerFreeze function for the freezer and Power cool here for the refrigerator part, which is basically an intensifier to make the refrigerator freeze faster . And to activate these features that I just mentioned, just click here on turning on cooling for the refrigerator part and turning on freezing for the freezer part and this way the refrigerator will freeze much faster.
Another thing that we can do here within the application is to regulate the intensity of the refrigerator light, so we can set it to minimum, medium and high and we can even adjust the intensity according to the time of day if necessary. that is your preference. So I can set it at night, for example, for the light to be weaker or stronger, for example.
Another thing you can do here is the following: notice that if I click here in the control panel it makes some noises, however I can come here in the application and turn off this sound now if I click here notice that it is no longer making noise. So this is another interesting difference that we have here in the application. Another thing you can do is click here and through this area we can choose between four different alarm options for the refrigerator to sound if we forget to have the refrigerator open.
And to finish this part about smarthing in the service tab you can check the energy consumption metric which is where artificial intelligence comes into action to help you save energy and it's even worth mentioning that here in the application there are other functions but that's all What I have mentioned so far I believe is the main thing. And now that I've talked a lot about smartthing, I now want to mention some technologies that this refrigerator has and I also want to talk about some practical results of tests that we did with it. But first I wanted to tell you about Casas Bahia.
For those who don't know, this is an extremely reliable store that delivers throughout Brazil and most of the offers that we put there for you in our WhatsApp and Telegram groups are precisely from Casas Bahia. Just to give you an idea, only in this year 2024, from what I remember off the top of my head, we already bought with They had a television, an oven and a cell phone, all at great prices and they all arrived without any problems. So if you want to take a look at the website, we'll put it below in the description field.
And it's worth mentioning that if you happen to have a Casas Bahia card, you can still pay for purchases in up to 30 installments. But coming back to the refrigerator, now I'm going to quickly talk about some of the technologies it has and also about some practical tests that we did with it. This model here has an inverter type compressor which, for those who don't know it, is much more economical and silent compared to other types of compressors and it is worth mentioning that it is in fact very silent so even if it is very close to the refrigerator it almost doesn't do anything.
of noise. And obviously at one time or another it does make some louder noises, but that is completely normal and it is something that other refrigerators also do, but the important thing is that in general use it is extremely silent. And it's worth mentioning that this inverter-type compressor, in addition to being more economical and silent, as I just said, also has greater durability and that's precisely why Samsung is offering a 20-year warranty on this compressor.
Another technology available here at RB50 that I believe is essential nowadays is FrostFREE technology. In other words, in this refrigerator we don't have that danger of the refrigerator forming ice in unwanted places, something that happened, for example, with older models. And now that we've talked about the technologies, let's quickly talk about the results of some practical tests that we did with it.
And taking into account that the main function of a refrigerator is to chill food, our tests were in relation to the refrigerator's freezing capacity, if that word really exists. And to test the refrigerator, we preferred to test it at the most common temperature used on a daily basis, which in the case of the refrigerator was 3ºC and in the freezer part it was -18, inclusive, this configuration would be ideal for maintaining energy consumption. declared by the brand that it is 34 kWh per month.
Regarding our tests, the results were as follows: Regarding the refrigerator, we placed a 500 ml bottle with it at an ambient temperature of 19. 7°. And leaving it in the refrigerator for 1 hour the water dropped to a temperature of 14.
7° and after 3 hours it dropped to 10. 4°. In terms of the freezer, our test was as follows: We placed this 2-liter bottle at an ambient temperature that was also 19.
7°. In 1 hour it reached 6. 5º and in 3 hours it reached -0.
8º and you could already see that it was in the process of freezing. Personally speaking, I found the result very satisfactory for everyday use, especially if we take into account that we didn't test the refrigerator at its minimum temperature. And it's worth remembering that you would still have the possibility of activating the PowerCool function here on the refrigerator and Power freezer below, which is basically the turbo mode to make the refrigerator cold even faster.
And we did some tests in relation to this, we didn't get the numbers to present to you here, but we could see that the refrigerator actually cooled faster this way. However, it would obviously use a little more energy so I recommend that if you are going to buy this refrigerator you test different temperature settings because this is an issue that can vary greatly depending on your environment and can also vary depending on how much stuff is inside the refrigerator. refrigerator, if there is a lot of stuff inside it, it may take longer to freeze the food, so in this case it might be more interesting to set the refrigerator at a lower temperature compared to what we did here in our tests.
Another very important point that I need to tell you is that this refrigerator is not bivolt and this is an extremely important detail because all the other refrigerators in the Evolution line are bivolt, so be careful not to get confused guys and if you are going to buy RB50 that is here by my side, take a look at the website to make sure you are buying the right refrigerator according to your region. Now talking a little about the look, the design and construction of the RB50 has a very minimalist look and doesn't have many details on the front. Still talking about the look, it's worth saying that the refrigerator has built-in handles on the front of the refrigerator, so to open the refrigerator we pull it from below, for example.
As for the freezer, we pull it from the top here, but I confess to you that as a matter of habit, generally when I open the fridge I don't open it from here, which would be correct, and generally I open it from the side, but it's a matter of habit. In fact, the most correct option would be to open it using the handles. And an interesting difference with the refrigerator is that, as you may have noticed, the refrigerator is opening from this side to the other side, however, if you want, you can move the refrigerator here and configure it in reverse so that it opens from that side to here.
However, there is a point of attention according to the Samsung manual, this change here in the refrigerator they recommend that it be carried out by Samsung's technical assistance staff because only then will they guarantee that the refrigerator will be under personal warranty and you can even try to carry it out this procedure alone in your home, however if you have a problem if you damage the refrigerator Samsung will probably not want to cover the warranty. Still talking about the look here on the sides it has a kind of matte metal that I thought looked really cool and reminds me a little of leather. And at the back, as you can see, it is completely closed, so overall I really liked the construction of the RB50.
But one detail that might bother some people a little is that little foot that you see in the images because I imagine that some people would prefer if Samsung had sent some kind of finish to hide it. And to finish this part about the look, it is worth saying that this refrigerator here is in stainless steel but is also available in Black stainless steel, which is also the color of that other refrigerator on that side. Now talking about the dimensions of our model, they are now displayed on the screen for you to check and it is always worth taking a careful look at these numbers to make sure that the refrigerator will actually fit in your space.
And taking advantage of the fact that I'm talking about the size of the refrigerator, it's worth highlighting that it is actually quite tall, so for example, if you are a person who measures 1. 60 m, especially if you are less than 1. 60, you will probably have a little Difficulty reaching that top shelf, especially at the bottom.
And you may have a little difficulty reaching this top shelf here, so this is an important detail. And for you to have a reference, my size is a little over 1. 80 meters, so for me it's not that much of a problem, but if you're 1.
60 and under, I imagine this could be a nuisance. It's worth mentioning that you can take this shelf here and place it a little lower, however you will be compromising the space of these other shelves. But anyway, it's a detail that I think is important for you to know.
Who knows, if you're a very short person, we'll put it like this, who knows, maybe even the other refrigerator on the other side would be more suitable. But ultimately, this is a question that everyone has to evaluate. But finally guys, reaching this end of the video, what is the final summary that we can make?
Is it worth buying the RB50 or not? But before continuing, let's eliminate this refrigerator on this side to really focus only on the RB50. And also remembering guys, if you followed the video so far, you liked the content, don't forget to like it, which is extremely important for us, this type of video takes a lot of work to make, so your support is really fundamental for the continuation of our channel.

And as I said, it's free for to participate. And don't forget to look below and confirm that you are really subscribed to the channel so you don't miss the next content.
And coming back here now to finish the video, if I were to give a general summary of what I thought of the refrigerator, I really liked it and for me, its main difference is really the refrigerator that is on the top, which is much more comfortable to reach. all things without needing to bend down, even viewing is easier, we can see everything much more clearly compared to another refrigerator and I believe this was very evident when I placed the two side by side and bent down to pick up the apple in the fridge, I believe you must have noticed that too. Another very cool difference that I had already mentioned is this shelf here on the inside that is now folded but I can return it to normal like this too and I found this very practical and I really liked it.
And in addition, it has some other differences as we presented to you throughout the video. And regarding the negative points, I would say that they are more related to the freezer because although it is extremely spacious, as we also showed you in this video, unfortunately it does not have internal lighting and it also does not have an audible alarm to warn you that you have forgotten it. open in case you forget open.
I also don't know if this is an issue that will make someone stop buying this refrigerator, however there are two details that I think would be cool if the refrigerator had it. And there is also that other issue that I just mentioned about the height that if you are a very short person you may have a little difficulty reaching those upper shelves. But as I said before, it is a question that each person has to evaluate whether there is an impact or not when choosing this refrigerator.
But anyway guys, so this was the video and for those who follow the channel, I know it was a slightly different video because generally we are used to seeing videos from televisions, monitors, sound bars and projectors for example, but today we were a a little different, I brought a refrigerator, I hope you enjoyed this video. I even think it was a little longer than I would have liked, I didn't know there would be so many details to talk about the refrigerator, but I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope you enjoyed the dynamics of it and we count on the support of each of you. .
So this was the video, once again thanks to the presence of everyone who made it to the end. Thanks, said it and see you next time!
