Samsung Domestic products are most definitely not high end. I bought an earlier model and it broke down 1 month outside of the warranty, despite being a known fault and subject to a technical update, Samsung refused to repair. Unknown to me Samsung had been replacing the entire back panel of the fridge, and fitting modified parts under warranty to devices as they were failing.
Ironically given Samsung's reputation for phones overheating, the fault with their fridge freezers has been that they get too cold due to faulty thermostat & location and incorrect default defrost cut out temperatures (possible because they are not calibrated for temperature variations experienced in the european market), resulting in ice build up across the inside of the back panel which eventually seizes the circulation fans, causing the temperature to rise in the fridge to rise which also causes the freezer to stop working. Mine does this every six months or so, despite having a retro kit to fix it which involves relocating the thermometer sensor. I have to remove the entire back panel and defrost it with a hair dryer, and then refit it with a new thermostat on a regular basis. Google "samsung fridge freezer problems" and you will see that it affected the rsh1 and rs21 so this is not limited to one product.
I would never recommend a Samsung domestic product as they clearly don't properly test them before releasing to the market, as the fault is consistently reported, so much so that quite a few repairers appear to be providing repair kits.
For your own sanity (I have become somewhat obsessive at checking the temperature of the fridge as I cannot trust it, and am always delighted when I return from holiday to find it still working) I would avoid at all costs, as in this case whilst it may have showroom appeal beauty really is only skin deep, the Ford Edsel of fridge freezers.
(To put into context I bought a cheap Beko fridge freezer to live in my garage at a fraction of the cost and that performs flawlessly it just doesn't look as flashy).
It is however very cheap for an American style Fridge Freezer !

Though if coming in via a standard external door, not patio doors or the like, then the door may need to be removed from the fridge/freezer if this is the standard size American fridge, though don't let that phase you, generally only 1 screw for top cover and 3 bolts per door to take off, then door slips up off the bottom hinge. I would enquire the delivery team are geared up to deliver such items, recent purchase of one of these from Tesco, ArrowXL used for delivery were a complete mare 5 attempts to deliver and the driver only dropped on last attempt as I played the kids don't have any dinners as no working fridge card.

The delivery guys unpacked and put my freezer in the kitchen for me when I bought from Curry's. Would assume this is standard practice with any retailer/delivery service?
HEAT from me, just bought my first American Fridge Freezer a few months ago (Kenwood - which has been great) and at this price would have bought this one if was available at this price at the time.

Bought a similar size a while back and all packaging and a plastic panel needed removing just to get it through the door.
