Samsung Fridges - Show Off Your Kitchen StyleSamsung fridges are designed to showcase your kitchen style. These refrigerators come with smart features that will keep you organized and entertained.SmartThings is a free app that lets you control your fridge using Wi-Fi. It is easy to alter the temperature of the fridge and make use of the FlexZone compartment to serve as a wine, deli, beverage, or soft freeze zone.The Family HubThe Samsung Family Hub fridge's 21-inch touchscreen is the kitchen's command center. Its apps offer a method to manage grocery lists and calendars as well as logging household and food inventory, and even leaving notes for family members. They also provide entertainment in the form of music apps (Spotify and iHeartRadio for instance) as well as a way to look inside the fridge without opening it, thanks to the fridge's built-in cameras.Family Hub refrigerators are equipped with a variety of features. They can also function as a smart home control system that connects to your Wi Fi and allows you to control other Samsung smart appliances, including SmartThings-connected ovens, hobs, and range hoods. Samsung's app lets you start and manage the appliances from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.This feature isn't available on all models of the Family Hub refrigerator. Some models don't come with a camera that enables the View Inside feature. Others do however, only one or two cameras can be used at a given time.We still found it to be a useful app for reducing food wastage and maximizing the capabilities of the refrigerator. We used it to set reminders for the times we needed to eat leftovers, and also track the expiration dates of items in our fridge. The cameras in the fridge also allowed us to quickly and easily make grocery lists to ensure that we don't forget anything important during our next trip.The Family Hub fridges also have other innovative features that help them stand above the competition, including an automated morning briefing that includes news and a voice-controlled web browser. The fridge also has an integrated speaker that plays music as well as podcasts, and a variety of other audio content. It's a nice feature, but it doesn't have the quality of sound that comes from a dedicated Bluetooth speaker.The biggest downside to the Family Hub fridge is its price however, there's a lot to love about this appliance. It's one of the best-designed smart fridges available and it offers a wide variety of features that make it worth the price even for families that do not intend to utilize all of its capabilities.The FreezerThe Family Hub Refrigerator from Samsung is the most innovative and newest attempt to sell us smart refrigerators. It comes with a 21.5-inch touchscreen loaded with apps, a camera that can monitor inventory within the doors, and a sleek, attractive black stainless-steel finish make the fridge look more modern than anything else available. It's also expensive -- starting at $5,600 or $6,000 for a counter-depth model with a bigger capacity.The Family Hub can do just about everything you'd want fridges to do include stream music, and manage your calendar or grocery list. Its lack of integration with SmartThings and its aplethora of apps and its lack of voice controls feel like missed opportunities. It's also less spacious than other high-end French doors, despite the extra capacity for ice.Another thing to consider when shopping for a refrigerator is the amount of energy it consumes throughout its life. This includes the embodied energies of the raw materials used, the energy needed to make it, and any additional natural gas or electricity it will consume while running at your home. We have done some research and found that Samsung fridges are generally more energy efficient than a typical refrigerator.You can also get a sense of how much energy a refrigerator uses by examining its ENERGY STAR ratings. This will tell you the amount of energy it uses each year. It is important to keep in mind that ENERGY STAR only is available to refrigerators that meet the highest standards of energy efficiency. Even the "high-efficiency fridge" will use more energy than a fridge that is not. It is essential to conduct thorough research prior to buying a refrigerator.The French DoorThe Family Hub fridge is Samsung's latest, and perhaps most daring, attempt to sell consumers on the concept of smart fridges. It adopts the French door build that's now almost ubiquitous among modern refrigerators, and adds the 21.5-inch touchscreen loaded with apps and cameras inside that keep an eye on your food supply and is offered in a sleek black stainless-steel look. It's also arguably the most expensive refrigerator available (though it isn't necessarily the biggest as that distinction belongs to the company's food-focused Chef Collection fridge which starts at $5,500).The fridge is futuristic, but it doesn't feel like a complete change from how we've previously used refrigerators. A refrigerator has always served as a sort of town post for families with busy schedules. It was used to store calendars, to-do list and report cards to remind us of soccer practice or to simply note down the things we needed to purchase.Samsung's app offers many of the same functions that you'd find on smartphones, and while the touchscreen is a big improvement over the slow and unresponsive ones found on previous smart fridges, it still feels pretty limited in terms of what can be accomplished with it. The apps seem designed mostly to let you track your food inventory and set timers, although it's difficult not to be disappointed that Alexa integration is nowhere to be seen.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 during the life-cycle of the fridge, the sun's energy is utilized to create the raw materials needed to make the fridge. Then, the kinetic energy is used to transport the fridge, make it and then operate the fridge.From Frydge from a carbon footprint perspective, smart refrigerators are more efficient than traditional fridges since they use less electricity and gas to cool the contents and run their internal systems. This is due to smart refrigerators being more efficient in their use of natural resources and are also designed to save energy when they're not in use.The BespokeIf you're willing to drop almost $3,000 on a refrigerator that you can customize, this model from Samsung is a great option to show off your kitchen's style. Featuring removable colored panels that can be swapped out at any time, this model is an ideal choice for those who are looking for an appliance that matches their interior style. If you're looking to get more advanced functionality, this fridge might not be worth the price.Smart refrigerators are connected to the internet through Wi-Fi. They let you monitor the health of your appliance remotely, check what's inside without opening the refrigerator door, and also check whether the doors are closed. 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 conserve energy, and come with the ENERGY STAR certification and SmartThings Energy, which makes it easy to track and control your fridge's power use via the app on your phone. You can also set an alarm that reminds you to shop for groceries or take food out for disposal.Samsung Family Hub fridges have a touchscreen similar to smartphones. You can create shopping lists and search for recipes and much more. The app can be used to watch TV on a Samsung smart TV. A Wi-Fi connection is required along with an Samsung account.You can also use the Family Hub to manage your digital calendar and make notes for housemates or family members. You can also opt to sync the Samsung fridge to the Samsung SmartThings technology so you can view the contents from anywhere.However, the touchscreen can be a challenge to use. It is not as responsive as smartphones, and drawing and typing can be a challenge. It is also limited in its resolution for touch. It's difficult to accurately select buttons due to the huge bezel around the screen.In terms of eco-friendly features go The Family Hub refrigerator is a great option. Its Energy STAR rating means it's rated to use less than half of an average household refrigerator's electricity. This is due to a refrigerator's lower electricity consumption and more efficient refrigeration system. The refrigerator's embodied power is also low, meaning that it doesn't require as many raw materials or resources to manufacture.
