Great Fridge! In-door Ice/Water is Revolutionary

We replaced our French door Samsung fridge with this one - we were coming from a fridge of basically the same size, but this feels bigger simply due to the nature of having the ice maker in the DOOR and not taking up space in the fridge. That's the biggest winning feature of this fridge for us.
What's good?
Most things. Freezer is great size, love the two drawers - had that on our previous fridge too and it's a non-negotiable now. The French doors are great and don't slam, features aren't too over-the-top but doesn't feel like there is anything missing either.
What's great?
The COLOR is awesome - no fingerprints, just clean lines and solid color. Love this so much more than stainless steel.
The ice/water dispenser is low. If you have kids this is a blessing or a curse. Ours are 3 and 6 so having a lower dispenser is fantastic because they can both reach it and can now get their own waters. I could see this being a problem for little-littles, but for us it's perfect.
What's okay?
Water dispenser is slower than I'm used to. Not bad, not awesome, but noteworthy - takes longer to fill things. The water nozzle is a bit far 'out', so if you have a more narrow glass you just need to make sure you're keeping the opening under the nozzle. This is a good/bad because it's so deep I can fit my large Yeti-style water mug in there with ease, but need to be careful to avoid spills.
I'm used to a fridge with an ice maker, so I expect some noise. This fridge runs with some noise that is negligible, but MAN is the ice dispenser loud. I guess that's part of the trade-off for having the in-door maker. It works great, just loud and takes some getting used to.
The right door doesn't stay propped open as well as the left door - I've tried to tweak it but doesn't seem doable - just need to hold the right door and not the left. It's a minor annoyance, but even after a month I'm seeing marks on the door from where the vegetable tray hits it because it's never open enough and tends to fall back. Probably something I can fix, just haven't read enough to figure out how.
Verdict?
I'd love a few more features, but they aren't necessary - there is nothing missing here. It's above basic, below flashy, and prettier than anything else you'll see
