Our Verdict

GE GSS25GYPFS

Samsung RS27T5200SR

The GE GSS25GYPFS and Samsung RS27T5200SR each have their own advantages. The GE has the edge in terms of refrigeration performance, with more consistent temperatures inside the fridge and freezer despite its simpler fixed-speed compressor, and superior produce preservation performance. The GE's ice maker can also produce more ice in a 24-hour period and has a higher max capacity. On the other hand, the similarly-sized Samsung offers a lot more interior space in both its fridge and freezer compartments. On the topic of serviceability, GE's network of authorized providers is more robust than Samsung's, and generally speaking, you'll have an easier time finding parts for the GE over the latter.
