Samsung Fridges - Smart Features That Make Life Easier

Samsung refrigerators have a variety of intelligent features that make your life easier. They are also Energy Star certified and have a 10-year guarantee.

Family Hub is an Android-powered touchscreen that's built directly into the door of your refrigerator. It allows you to manage your calendar, make lists of items to buy and stream music.

FlexZone

Samsung's refrigerators are distinctive. While LG may be the leader in terms of innovative features, Samsung has a few things that make them stand out. Some Samsung models feature a Food Showcase and a FlexZone which can be used as a freezer or refrigerator. This section features a Smart Divider that helps organize items and ensures the proper temperature.

This model is ideal for those who are looking to create a sleek and contemporary style for their home. It has an elegant stainless steel finish and an uni-directional design that looks fantastic in any kitchen design. It also offers plenty of storage space, including two humidity-controlled crisper bins and three adjustable shelves that can be moved to different positions as needed. The refrigerator is also ENERGY STAR-certified, so you can be sure that it will lower the cost of energy.

Samsung's FlexZone feature lets you convert your bottom section into a fridge or freezer depending on what you need. This is an excellent way to increase the storage space you have and cut down on power costs. You can also use the FlexZone to keep frozen food items and fresh vegetables at the same time. This feature is only available on specific Samsung French door fridges.

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

This refrigerator from Samsung is large in capacity and is a great choice for those who have small space. The modern, sleek design features a door-indoor feature to make it easy to grab your most loved snacks. The refrigerator is constructed of tough materials and features an electronic compressor. It also has a recessed pivot that minimizes air gap, Frydge which helps to keep your refrigerator running 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 condiments, beverages, or snacks without opening the main fridge. This can reduce loss of cold air, which keeps your food fresher for longer. Some refrigerators offer this technology as a standalone option, whereas others, such as the LG Side-by-Side Refrigerator, LRMVC2306S integrate it into the design of the fridge in a way that opening the dedicated door opens both the door-indoor compartment as well as the main compartment of the refrigerator.

While many refrigerator bells and whistles may feel like gimmicks to some, innovative features are designed to meet the real needs of consumers. Samsung refrigerators have a Door-in-Door feature that is a fantastic example. It lets you quickly access items like butter, ketchup and milk that are commonly used without having to open the entire refrigerator which could result in an interruption in cold air.

Other examples include other examples include the Family Hub interactive refrigerator doors found on a few Samsung French-door models. You can plan your calendar and frydge create lists from the touchscreen of your fridge. Some fridges have cameras so you can check your food and drink from any location.

Family Hub

A 21-inch touchscreen powered by Tizen is built into the refrigerator. It can be used as a digital board, smart speaker powered by Bixby refrigerator manager, and tablet powered by apps. The fridge also comes with three tiny cameras that capture images every time the door closes. This lets you look inside. (This feature isn't available in all stores yet.) The Family Hub comes preloaded with many apps to help you stay organized and connected with your family--from grocery delivery services to recipe apps to a whiteboard that lets you leave messages for your family members or your children.

The Family Hub offers a variety of apps that will keep everyone entertained. You can stream music through the built-in speakers of your refrigerator which is great for spontaneous kitchen fridge dance parties. You can make use of the touchscreen to stream content directly from your Samsung device, such as TVs that support Samsung's SmartThings platform.

Although the Family Hub has some great features however, it's not without limitations. The lack of an app store for third-party apps is among the most prominent. If you do not want to use the default screens or apps then you can't download anything else. This can be a problem when you'd like to use another app for shopping lists and reminders, or loyalty program.

Another drawback is that you can't make use of voice commands to control the fridge. When Samsung first announced its Family Hub refrigerator, Alexa was the most prominent item in the list of features. This meant that the fridge would essentially become an Amazon Echo for the kitchen. However, it didn't come to be and remains an important omission.

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

SmartThings

SmartThings isn't getting the same interest that Amazon Alexa and Google Home do, but it's a powerful and flexible smart home platform. Its hub comes with Z-Wave and Zigbee radios which allows you to connect a wide range of compatible devices, including Lutron, Sonos, Ecobee, Lifx, Ring, Belkin, Arlo, and Philips Hue. SmartThings also features Scenes that let you control a variety of compatible devices simultaneously. You can create a scenario called "movie-night" which dims the lights and turns on the Blu-ray player.

The SmartThings app lets you control and monitor many connected appliances, including the refrigerator. The app will alert if it is discovered that, for instance, the refrigerator is using too much energy. The app will alter the settings of your appliance to help you meet your energy-saving goals. SmartThings also allows you to create custom schedules and automations, such as turning off your oven or dishwasher before you go to sleep.

Samsung has preinstalled SmartThings on all of its smartphones and tablets since it acquired the company in 2014. It has one of the most robust home automation platforms there, but it's not without fault. Many users have reported significant server outages. This is a huge worry for people who depend heavily on their smart home technology. The good thing is that these outages are usually only an hour long and the engineers of the company are working to resolve 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 gadgets from third-party companies and other Samsung devices. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Mercedes Benz's voice assistant that allows you to choose the platform you prefer.

The Family Hub refrigerator is also equipped with other smart home features such as touchscreen, whiteboard digital, and a built-in camera. You can make notes, set reminders and share grocery lists and shopping lists using the whiteboard.
