Samsung Fridges – Show Off Your Kitchen Style Samsung refrigerators are designed to showcase your kitchen style. These refrigerators have smart features that keep you busy and well-organized. SmartThings is a free app that lets you control your fridge via Wi-Fi. It is easy to alter the temperature of your fridge and make use of the FlexZone as a wine, beverage or deli zone, or even a soft-freeze zone. The Family Hub The Samsung Family Hub refrigerator's 21-inch touch screen creates it into the central control center of the kitchen. The apps allow you to manage your calendars, grocery lists, log inventory of household and food items, and also leave notes for your family members. Music apps (Spotify, iHeartRadio) and the ability to look at the inside of the fridge without opening it are also available. In Frydge to offering a variety of features, Family Hub refrigerators can act as a smart home controller, connecting to your Wi-Fi and letting you control other Samsung smart devices such as SmartThings connected ovens, hobs and range hoods. Samsung's app lets you start, control and monitor these appliances from anyplace in the world, so long you're connected to the internet. This feature is not available on all models of the Family Hub refrigerator. Some versions don't have a camera to use the View Inside feature, while others do but only support two or three cameras at a time. However, we discovered the app to be an effective tool for reducing food waste and making the most of fridge's capabilities. We made use of the app to set reminders for eating leftovers, as well as to keep track of expiration dates for the items in our refrigerator. The cameras on the fridge let us quickly and easily create grocery lists so that we don't be able to miss anything important on our next trip. Family Hub refrigerators have other clever features that help them stand out among the other refrigerators. They include an automated morning briefing that includes news and information, as well as a voice-controlled browser. The fridge also has an integrated speaker that can play music as well as podcasts, and a variety of other audio content. It's an interesting feature but it's not the same audio quality as the Bluetooth speaker. The main drawback of the Family Hub fridge is that it's expensive however there's plenty to love about this appliance. It's among the most well-designed smart refrigerators on the market and offers a variety of features that make it worth it, even for families that aren't planning to use the full capacity of this fridge. The Freezer Samsung's most innovative and daring attempt to convince us to buy smart fridges is the Family Hub Refrigerator. The fridge is more contemporary than other fridges on the market thanks to its 21.5-inch touchscreen, which has apps installed, an inventory-watching camera inside the door, and a sleek, attractive stainless-steel look. It's also pricey — starting at $5600 and $6,000 for the counter-depth model that has a bigger capacity. The Family Hub is a great fridge that can do everything, including manage your calendar and grocery list. Its lack of integration with SmartThings as well as its numerous apps and its absence of voice controls feel like missed opportunities. And it's less spacious than high-end French door models and even with the additional capacity for ice. When looking for a fridge take into consideration the amount of energy that it will use throughout its life. This includes the embodied energy of the raw materials, the energy required to make it, and any additional electricity or gas it will consume when running in your home. We've conducted some research on this and found that Samsung refrigerators generally have lower energy consumption than a typical refrigerator. You can also get a feel for the amount of energy your refrigerator will consume by examining its ENERGY STAR rating, which should reveal the percentage of energy it uses every year. However, it's important to remember that the ENERGY STAR label only applies to refrigerators that meet the highest energy efficiency standards, and even a “high-efficiency” refrigerator will use more energy than a fridge that meets lower standards. It is essential to conduct thorough research prior to buying a refrigerator. The French Door Samsung's Family Hub fridge is its most recent and perhaps boldest attempt to promote the concept of an “smart fridge”. It takes the French door build that's now commonplace in modern refrigerators, and then adds a 21.5-inch touchscreen with apps and cameras inside that keep the food items in your fridge under control, and comes in an attractive black stainless-steel finish. It's also perhaps the most expensive fridge available (though it's not necessarily the most expensive — that distinction goes to the company's foodie-focused Chef Collection fridge which starts at $5,500). The refrigerator is modern, but it's not a radical change from the way we've used refrigerators in the past. In reality, a refrigerator has always been something of an office for busy families, serving as a place to display calendars as well as report cards and to-do lists, reminding us of soccer practice, or just to write down items we'll need to purchase. Samsung's app comes with many of the same functions similar to those you'd get on smartphones and while the touchscreen is a big improvement over the sluggish and unresponsive touchscreens found on earlier smart fridges but it's still limited in terms of what you can accomplish using it. The apps seem designed mostly to allow you to track the food inventory and set timers, however it's hard not to be bummed that Alexa integration is nowhere to be found. While Samsung doesn't offer an official breakdown of where their products are assembled, based on the fact that they have four chip fabrication centers in South Korea and one in Austin, Texas, it's probably safe to assume that most of the fridges are made overseas (Manufacturing-Centers). This means that over the course of the life-cycle of the fridge the sun's energy will be utilized to create the raw materials for the fridge. Then, kinetic energy is used to transport the fridge, make it and then operate the fridge. From a carbon footprint point of view, smart refrigerators are much more efficient than traditional fridges since they use less electricity and gas to cool the contents and run their internal systems. Smart refrigerators are more energy-efficient and designed to conserve power when not being used. The Bespoke If you're willing to spend nearly $3000 on a fridge, this customizable option from Samsung is a great way to show off your kitchen's style. The model has removable colored panels that can be altered at anytime. It is a great option for those looking to complement their interior design. If you're looking for more smart features, this refrigerator might not be worth the price. Smart refrigerators can connect to internet via Wi-Fi. This allows you to see inside your fridge without opening the door. remotely verify that the doors are closed, and even determine if there's an issue with the appliance. They conserve energy, too. And many come with built-in coffee makers and ice machines to help you save even more. These appliances are designed to save energy, with ENERGY STAR certification and SmartThings Energy which allows you to monitor and manage your fridge's power consumption through the app on your phone. You can set a timer that will remind you to do things like shopping for groceries or to throw food in the trash. Samsung Family Hub fridges have touchscreens similar to smartphones. You can create shopping lists or search for recipes and more. The app can be used to watch TV on the Samsung smart TV. A Wi-Fi connection is required along with an account with a Samsung account. The Family Hub can also be used to manage your schedule and also to send notes to family members or housemates. You can also opt to sync the Samsung fridge with the Samsung SmartThings system so that you can see the contents from anywhere. The touchscreen can be challenging. It's not as responsive as smartphones and typing and drawing can be difficult. It's also limited in its resolution for touch. The huge bezel around the screen can make it hard to accurately select the button. If you're looking for eco-friendly features as they go If you're looking for eco-friendly features, the Family Hub refrigerator is a great choice. The ENERGY STAR rating indicates that it consumes less than half the power of a typical refrigerator for the home. This is due to the fridge's lower electricity consumption and more efficient refrigeration system. The refrigerator's embodied power is also low, which means that it does not require as many raw materials or resources to manufacture.
