Samsung Fridges - Smart Features That Make Life Easier

Samsung refrigerators come with a range of smart features that make life easier. They are also Energy Star-certified and come with a 10-year warranty.

Family Hub is a touchscreen that runs Android built into the refrigerator. It allows you to manage your calendar, create lists of items to buy and stream music.

FlexZone

Samsung's refrigerators are distinctive. While LG is a leader in terms of new features, Samsung has a few things to offer that make them stand out. Certain 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 helps organize things and keep them at the right temperature.

This model is ideal for those looking to create a sleek and contemporary look in their home. It features an elegant stainless steel finish and an uni-directional design that is perfect for any kitchen style. It also offers plenty of storage space and features two humidity-controlled crisper bins and three shelves that can be moved to different positions as needed.

Samsung's FlexZone feature allows you to convert your bottom section into a refrigerator or freezer according to what you require. This is an excellent way to increase your storage space and save money on electricity costs. FlexZone can be used to store fresh produce and frozen food simultaneously. This feature is only available on specific Samsung French door fridges.

The compartments are separated with doors that can be controlled independently temperatures. It is equipped with a handy ice maker that can produce cubes and crushed ice.

It also has a recessed pivot that reduces air gap and helps keep your refrigerator operating smoothly.

Door-in-Door

Door-in-Door refrigerators have a separate compartment inside the fridge that opens with just one pull of the handle, making it easy to access drinks, condiments, or snacks without opening the main refrigerator. This can help minimize cold air loss, keeping your food fresher for longer. Some refrigerators have this technology as an alternative. Others, such as the LG Side by Side Refrigerator LRMVC2306S incorporate it into the design of the refrigerator so that opening the doors opens both the door in door compartment as well as the main compartment of the fridge.

While a lot of refrigerator bells and whistles may feel like gimmicks that are durable satisfy a real need of consumers. The Door-in-Door compartment in Samsung refrigerators is a great example. It lets you access commonly used items like butter, ketchup, and milk without having to open the entire fridge, which can cause cooling performance to suffer from cold air loss.

Other examples include other options include Family Hub interactive refrigerator doors that are available on certain Samsung French-door models. You can plan your calendar and create lists from the touchscreen on your fridge. Some have cameras in the fridge, so you can check on food and drinks from anywhere.

Family Hub

A 21-inch touchscreen powered by Tizen that is inside the fridge functions as an electronic bulletin board, smart speaker (powered by Bixby) and fridge manager and app-powered tablet. The fridge also houses three tiny cameras that capture images each when the door is closed. This allows you to see inside. (This feature isn't available in all markets yet.) The Family Hub is preloaded with various apps that can keep you connected, organized and in contact with your family. These apps range from grocery delivery services to recipe apps to whiteboards where you can leave messages to each other or your children.

The Family Hub offers a variety of apps to keep everyone entertained. You can play music from the built-in fridge speakers in your refrigerator which is great for kitchen parties that are spontaneous. 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 shortcomings. The lack of an app store for third-party apps is one of the most notable. This means that if you don't love the default screens or apps, you can't simply download a different one. This is a problem when you're looking to use a different application for reminders or shopping lists or when you have a specific loyalty program that you prefer to use in conjunction with your food-related apps.

You can't use the refrigerator to control it with voice commands. When Samsung first unveiled its Family Hub refrigerator, Alexa was the most prominent bullet in the list of features. This meant that the fridge could basically be an Amazon Echo for the kitchen. However, it didn't come to be but it is a notable omission today.

Despite these limitations The Family Hub is an impressive and useful device. It's a great tool to stay connected to your family, manage your kitchen and groceries and manage your home's smart devices, assuming you're a Samsung customer and you're willing to use the app-only options the Family Hub offers.

SmartThings

SmartThings doesn't receive the interest that Amazon Alexa and Google Home do, but it's a capable and flexible smart home platform. Its hub is loaded with Z-Wave and Zigbee radios which allows you to add a huge range of compatible devices like Lutron, Sonos, Ecobee, Lifx, Ring, Belkin, Arlo, and Philips Hue. SmartThings features Scenes that allow you to control a collection of compatible devices simultaneously. You can create a scene, called "movie-night" which dims your lights and switches on the Blu-ray player.

The SmartThings app allows you to monitor and fridges control many connected appliances, including the fridge. The app will alert you when the refrigerator is using too much energy, for instance. It will then alter the settings of your appliance to help you reach your energy savings goals. The SmartThings app also allows you to create custom schedules and automates that shut off your oven or dishwasher before you go to bed, for example.

Samsung has preinstalled SmartThings on all its smartphones and tablets since it purchased the company in 2014. It is among the most robust home automation platforms out there, but it's not without fault. Many users have reported significant server outages. This is a huge issue for those who depend heavily on their home automation 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 range of smart devices from third-party vendors and other Samsung devices. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant as well as Mercedes Benz voice assistant.

The Family Hub refrigerator is also equipped with other smart home features, such as a touchscreen, a whiteboard digital, and a built-in camera. It is easy to write notes and set reminders on the screen, and use the whiteboard feature to share grocery lists or shopping lists with other members of your household.
