Our Verdict

Samsung RF32CG5400SR

Maytag MRFF4236RZ

The Maytag MRFF4236RZ is a better-performing fridge than the Samsung RF32CG5400SR. The Maytag delivers superior temperature uniformity inside the fridge, although both units perform similarly in this regard within the freezer. Additionally, it does a significantly better job of keeping delicate produce crisp and fresh. That said, the Samsung has the edge in terms of overall capacity, with far more room in its freezer and fridge compartments than the Maytag.
