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 come with a 10-year warranty.

Family Hub is an Android-powered touchscreen built inside the refrigerator door. It lets you manage your calendar, create grocery lists and stream music.

FlexZone

While LG may be ahead when it comes to innovative refrigerator features, Samsung offers a few things that set its fridges apart from the rest. For instance, certain Samsung models feature a Food Showcase design and a FlexZone section that can be used as either a freezer or a fridge. The section has a smart Divider that helps organize items and ensures the proper temperature.

This model is a great choice for those who want modern, sleek design in their kitchen. It features an elegant stainless steel finish and an uni-directional design that looks fantastic in any style of kitchen. It has plenty of storage space, including two crisper bins with humidity control and three adjustable shelves which can be moved when needed. The refrigerator is also ENERGY Star-certified, so you can rest assured that it will lower your energy bills.

Samsung's FlexZone feature allows you to convert your bottom space into a fridge or freezer depending on what you need. This is an excellent way to maximize your storage space and reduce power costs. FlexZone can be used to store frozen food and fresh produce at the same time. This feature is only available on certain Samsung French door fridges.

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

This Samsung refrigerator is large in storage capacity and is perfect for those who have little space. The sleek, modern design has an indoor door that makes it easy to get your most loved snacks. The refrigerator is made of tough materials and features an electronic compressor. It also features a pivot that is recessed, which reduces air gap and helps keep your refrigerator running smoothly.

Door-in-Door

Door-in-Door refrigerators feature a dedicated compartment inside the mini fridge b&m that opens with just one pull of the handle, making it easier to grab condiments, Fridge Containers beverages, or snacks without opening the main fridge. This can reduce loss of cold air, and keep your food fresher for longer. Some refrigerators have this technology as an option. Others, like 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 and the main compartment of the Fridge Containers.

While many bells and whistles may feel like gimmicks to some but they are designed to satisfy an actual need of the consumer. Samsung refrigerators have a Door-in-Door feature that is a great example. It allows you to access commonly used items like butter or ketchup as well as milk without opening the entire fridge, which can cause cooling performance to suffer from cold air loss.

Some Samsung French-door models have interactive refrigerator doors, such as the Family Hub. You can plan your schedule and create lists from the touchscreen on your fridge. Some fridges have cameras which allow you to check your food and beverages from any location.

Family Hub

A 21-inch Tizen-powered touchscreen built into the fridge acts as an electronic bulletin board, smart speaker (powered by Bixby), fridge manager, and tablet powered by apps. The fridge also comes with three cameras that take images every time the door closes. This allows you to view inside. (This feature is not available in all stores yet.) The Family Hub comes preloaded with various apps to keep you organized and connected to your family, from grocery delivery services to recipe apps to a whiteboard that lets you leave messages for one another or your children.

The Family Hub offers a variety of apps that keep everyone entertained. For instance you can stream music directly from the built-in fridge speakers of your fridge, which is the perfect soundtrack for spontaneous kitchen dance parties. You can use the touchscreen to stream content from your Samsung device, like TVs that support Samsung's SmartThings platform.

The Family Hub is not without its limitations. One of the most noticeable is the absence of an app store for third-party apps. If you do not want to use the default screens or fridge Containers apps, you cannot download anything else. This can be a problem if prefer to use an alternative app for shopping lists, reminders or loyalty programs.

Another limitation is that you aren't able to make use of voice commands to control the refrigerator. Back when Samsung first introduced the Family Hub refrigerator, Alexa integration was the most prominent bullet point in the features list, effectively making the fridge an massive Amazon Echo for your kitchen. But, it never came to pass but it is a notable omission today.

Despite its limitations, the Family Hub is still a useful and impressive device. It's a nice way to stay connected with your family, organize your kitchen and groceries and manage your home's smart devices, assuming you're a Samsung customer and are willing to use the only app options the Family Hub offers.

SmartThings

SmartThings might not receive the same amount of attention as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, but it's a great platform for smart homes. The hub is equipped with Z-Wave radios as well as Zigbee radios. This means you can add a wide range of compatible devices, including Lutron, Sonos Ecobee, Lifx Ring, Belkin Arlo and Philips Hue. SmartThings also offers Scenes, which let you manage a number of compatible devices at the same time. You can create a scenario called "movie-night" which dims the lights and turns on the Blu-ray player.

SmartThings is an app that allows you to control and monitor various connected appliances, including your fridge. The app will notify you if, for example, the refrigerator is consuming too much energy. The app will modify the settings of your appliance to help you meet your energy-saving goals. SmartThings also lets you create custom schedules and automations, such as switching off your oven or dishwasher before you go to bed.

Since Samsung bought SmartThings in 2014, the app is installed on all Samsung smartphones and tablets. It's among the most robust platforms for home automation, but it's not without issues. Many users have reported major server outages. This is a serious worry for people who depend heavily on their home automation technology. The good thing is that these problems are usually just a few hours long, and the engineers of the company are working to fix the issue.

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 works with other Samsung devices as well as a wide variety of third-party smart devices. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Mercedes Benz's voice assistant which allows you to use whatever platform you prefer.

The Family Hub refrigerator is also equipped with other smart home features such as touchscreen, a whiteboard digital and an integrated camera. You can write notes, schedule reminders and make grocery and shopping lists with the whiteboard.
