The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR is an upper mid-range counter-depth 4-door refrigerator. It's pretty full-featured, with an in-door Beverage Center that integrates a water dispenser and auto-filling pitcher, along with a storage nook for storing drinks. There's also a pair of ice makers for producing standard and larger sphere-shaped ice, and Wi-Fi connectivity that allows you to change or monitor fridge and freezer temperatures through your smartphone. Beyond that, Samsung also boasts that its AI Precise Cooling system can reduce temperature fluctuations in the fridge cabinet while running a defrost cycle by analyzing your usage habits.
We've recently started testing refrigerators. We purchase each unit independently from major retailers, just like you, to keep our reviews free of manufacturer influence. Each refrigerator undergoes the same tests to measure objective metrics such as temperature uniformity, produce preservation, and actual storage capacity, so you can easily compare results.

Our Verdict
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR is good for everyday use. Unsurprisingly for a counter-depth unit, both the fridge and freezer cabinets are shallow. That said, they both make pretty good use of the space that's on offer, with convenient touches that can make it a little easier to fit bigger items, with things like pull-out drawers and slide-away shelves. In terms of performance, temperatures are consistent in the freezer and fridge, though it's worth noting that the upper door bins do get very cold. Produce with a high moisture content, like spinach or celery, will keep for well over a week when placed in the crisper drawer, but will begin to wilt quickly when left outside due to the dry fridge environment.
Good moisture retention inside crisper drawers.
Pull-out drawers help to organize smaller items in freezer.
Beverage Center keeps drinks from cluttering main cabinet.
Fridge cabinet is shallow.
Split freezer cabinets can make it hard to fit wider items.
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR provides good produce preservation performance. This is a single-evaporator fridge, so the main fridge cabinet is quite dry, and produce with a high moisture content, like lettuce, will begin wilting quickly. However, the crisper drawers seal quite tightly, and the same produce left inside those spaces will last for considerably longer.

Single evaporator design results in dry fridge environment.
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR's refrigerator capacity is decent. The fridge cabinet is shallow, which can make it a challenge to fit really large items like casserole dishes. That said, there are some thoughtful touches that free up some precious space. The slide-away shelves allow you to fit taller bottles near the front of the cabinet, and the Beverage Center system keeps things like canned drinks out of the way and eliminates the need for a water pitcher taking up space, since the fridge comes with its own water pitcher.

The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR provides very good capacity in its freezer, with caveats. The space isn't all that large, and the split nature of the freezer cabinets can make it hard to fit really wide items. That said, the pull-out drawers and bins make it very easy to keep your groceries or meal-prep containers organized and easily accessible.

Split freezer cabinets can make it hard to fit wider items.
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR's temperature uniformity performance is excellent. There's little variance in temperature inside the fridge cabinet, so you don't have to be overly particular when placing temperature-sensitive foodstuffs like yogurt or cream. That said, the upper door bins in the fridge can get quite cold due to the nearby placement of the cooling vent, as well as the Peltier element built into the top of the fridge. Freezer temperatures are also very consistent; just note that temperatures do drop by a couple of degrees periodically to help hasten the ice-making process.
Consistent temperatures in main fridge cabinet.
Temperatures in freezer are highly uniform.
Upper door bins get very cold.
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR's ice-making performance is satisfactory. This isn't a fridge you buy for high-volume ice making, despite the presence of two ice makers. The larger spherical ice, handy for chilling cocktails with less dilution, takes quite a while to form. The tray itself has room for roughly nine balls, which is acceptable for smaller gatherings where you don't expect to make many drinks. Cubed ice production is much faster, though we'd still recommend buying a bag of ice or filling a separate container well in advance for bigger parties.
Can produce two different kinds of ice for different drinks.
Spherical ice production is very slow.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
Samsung's lineup of Bespoke fridges is enormous and runs the gamut of design types, from full-depth French door models to counter-depth side-by-side models. While most models share similar internals, the RM80F23VMRAA variant we tested does use a different compressor, which can result in dissimilar performance to otherwise similar models.

Popular Refrigerator Comparisons
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR is an upper mid-range 4-door fridge. Compared to other models in Samsung's Bespoke lineup, like the RF24BB6600QL, it uses a somewhat simplified cooling system with a slightly lower-capacity compressor and only a single evaporator. Only the latter seems to have much of an impact on real-world performance, as the single-evaporator RM80F23VMR provides lower humidity inside the main fridge cabinet, so produce stored outside the crisper drawer wilts faster than it would in a dual-evaporator alternative. In terms of capacity, there's more room inside than other counter-depth 4-door units like the Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ or the KitchenAid KRQC506MPS.
If you're interested in alternatives, see our recommendations for the best refrigerators, the best counter-depth refrigerators, and the best French door refrigerators.
The Samsung Bespoke RF24BB6600QL is a more practical counter-depth refrigerator than the Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR. The RF24BB6600QL's more conventional French door layout and added drawers provide more space, though the RM80F23VMR freezer layout makes accessing items tucked away at the back of the cabinet much easier. Thanks to the RF24BB6600QL's dual-evaporator cooling system, produce stored outside the crisper drawer will last longer. That said, the RM80F23VMR does provide superior temperature uniformity. Its ice production rate is lower, but it's also the only unit that can produce larger spherical ice for chilling cocktails.
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR outperforms the Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ in most ways. Both are 4-door counter-depth refrigerators, but the Samsung provides a little more room in all of its cabinets and offers superior produce preservation performance. Unlike the Whirlpool, it also features a removable auto-filling water pitcher and a water dispenser.
The Samsung Bespoke RM80F23VMR is a better-performing 4-door fridge than the KitchenAid KRQC506MPS. The Samsung offers more room in its fridge and freezer cabinets and does a better job of keeping produce crisp and fresh. If you're interested in extra features, the Samsung has more to offer as well, with its in-door Beverage Center and separate ice maker for making sphere-shaped ice for chilling cocktails.
