Samsung Fridges - Smart Features That Make Life Easier

Samsung refrigerators are equipped with many intelligent features that simplify your life. They are also Energy Star certified and have a 10-year warranty.

Family Hub is a touchscreen with Android integrated into the refrigerator. It allows you to manage your calendar, make shopping lists, and stream music.

FlexZone

While LG may be ahead in terms of cutting-edge refrigerator features, Samsung offers a few things that set its refrigerators apart from other models. Some Samsung models feature a Food Showcase and a FlexZone that can function as a freezer or refrigerator. This section has a customizable Smart Divider that allows you to organize your things and keep them at the appropriate temperature.

This model is ideal for those looking to create a modern and sleek style for their home. It features an elegant stainless steel finish with an unibody design that is perfect for any kitchen style. It also has plenty of storage space, including two bins for crispers that are controlled by humidity and three adjustable shelves that can be moved to different positions depending on the need. This refrigerator is also ENERGY Star-certified, so you can be confident that it will lower your energy bills.

Samsung's FlexZone is a new feature that lets you transform the bottom of the refrigerator into a white fridge or freezer according to your needs. This is an excellent way to maximize storage space while saving on energy costs. You can even use the FlexZone to store frozen food and fresh vegetables in the same space. This feature is only available on specific Samsung French door fridges.

The Samsung FlexZone fridge has a flexible design that can accommodate many different types of food and beverages. The compartments are separated by doors that have independently controlled temperatures. The shelves can be adjusted to fit tall or large items. It comes with a convenient Ice maker that can make both crushed ice and cubes. It comes with a full-width drawer for the pantry that can be used to store deli meats and party platters.

This Samsung refrigerator is large in storage capacity and is perfect for those with limited space. It features a sleek and modern design and a door-indoor feature that lets you grab your favorite snacks with ease. The refrigerator features an inverter that can be controlled digitally and is constructed from robust materials that can last for many years. It also features a pivot that is recessed, which minimizes air gaps and helps keep your refrigerator operating smoothly.

Door-in-Door

Door-in-Door refrigerators feature a dedicated compartment inside the fridge that opens with just one pull of the handle, allowing you to grab drinks, condiments or snacks without opening the main refrigerator. This will reduce cold air loss and keep your food fresher longer. Certain refrigerators have this technology as a stand-alone option, while others, like the LG Side-by-Side Refrigerator LRMVC2306S, integrate it into the design of the refrigerator in a way that opening the dedicated door opens both the door in door compartment and the main compartment of the refrigerator.

While many refrigerator bells and whistles could seem like gimmicks to some, innovative features are designed to satisfy a real consumer need. The Door-in-Door compartment in Samsung refrigerators is a great example. It allows you to easily access items such as butter, ketchup, and milk that are frequently used without opening up the entire refrigerator, which could lead to the loss of cold air.

Some Samsung French-door in door fridge models have interactive refrigerator doors, including the Family Hub. They allow you to organize your calendar, stream apps, and create to-do lists right from the refrigerator's touchscreen. Certain fridges are equipped with cameras so you can view your food and drinks from anywhere.

Family Hub

A 21-inch Tizen-powered touchscreen inside the fridge functions as an electronic bulletin board, smart speaker (powered by Bixby), fridge manager, and tablet powered by apps. It also includes three tiny cameras that record images each when the door of the refrigerator closes, allowing you to view what's inside (though this feature is not yet available in all markets). The Family Hub is preloaded with numerous apps that will aid you in staying connected, organized and in contact with your family. These apps range from grocery delivery services to recipe applications to whiteboards where you can leave messages for your family or your children.

The Family Hub offers a variety of apps that will keep everyone entertained. You can play music from the built in fridge-in speakers of your refrigerator which is ideal for impromptu kitchen dance parties. You can make use of the touchscreen to stream content from your Samsung device, such as a TV that is compatible with Samsung's SmartThings platform.

The Family Hub is not without its limitations. The absence of an app store for third party apps is one of the most significant. This means that if you do not like the default screens or apps, you're unable to just download something else. This could be a problem if you'd prefer to use an alternative application for shopping lists or reminders, or loyalty programs.

Another issue is that you cannot use voice commands to control the refrigerator. Back when Samsung first announced the Family Hub refrigerator, Alexa integration was the most prominent feature list. It was basically making the fridge an huge Amazon Echo for your kitchen. But, it never came to be and remains an unremarkable omission.

Despite these limitations, the Family Hub is still an impressive and useful gadget. It's a nice way to stay connected with your family, keep track of your kitchen and groceries and manage your home's smart devices--assuming you're an Samsung customer and are willing to use the app-only options that the Family Hub offers.

SmartThings

SmartThings might not receive the same amount of attention as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, but it is a powerful platform for smart homes. Its hub comes with Z-Wave and Zigbee radios that allow you to connect a wide range of compatible devices, including Lutron, Sonos, Ecobee, built in fridge Lifx, Ring, Belkin, Arlo, and Philips Hue. SmartThings also features Scenes, which let you control a variety of compatible devices simultaneously. You can create a scene called "movie-night" that dims your lights and turns on the Blu-ray player.

SmartThings is an app that lets you to monitor and control numerous connected appliances like your refrigerator. The app will notify you when the refrigerator is consuming excessive energy. The app will alter the settings of your appliance to help you meet your energy-saving goals. The SmartThings app can also create custom schedules and create automations that shut off your oven or dishwasher before you go to bed, for example.

Samsung has preinstalled SmartThings on all its tablets and smartphones since it acquired the company in 2014. It has one of the most robust home automation platforms out however it's not without fault. Many users have reported major server outages, which are very worrying for those who depend on their smart home technology. The good thing is that these outages usually last only one or two hours long, and the engineers of the company are working on resolving the problem.

If you're looking for a smart fridge that will connect to other appliances in your home, the SmartThings-compatible Family Hub is an excellent choice. It is compatible with a variety of smart devices from third-party vendors as well as other Samsung devices. It's compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Mercedes Benz's voice assistant which allows you to use the platform you prefer.

The Family Hub fridge is also packed with other smart home features, including a touchscreen display and a digital whiteboard and cameras. You can write notes, schedule reminders and make grocery and shopping lists with the whiteboard.
