Samsung Fridge Freezers With SmartThings Samsung's Family Hub refrigerator combines an impressive 389 litre fridge and an 225-litre freezer. It's a big American-style model with quality temperature control, as well as an impressive slate of smart features. You can customize it by removing panels to make it fit with your collection of matte black Rick Owens clothing and tie-dye Crocs. All Round Cooling Separate cooling circuits in refrigerators equipped with All Round Cooing help keep your food fresher. In conventional fridges, a single evaporator cools the freezer and refrigerator compartments. This could result in the food being dry due to the low-humidity air from your refrigerator is pumped into. This can make the food taste bland and unpleasant. Each shelf is equipped with multiple vents that circulate cool air. This allows for an even temperature even when you close and open the door of your fridge. Optimal Fresh Zone keeps meats and fish fresher for twice as long as in conventional refrigerators, without freezing them. This feature is a game-changer for those who love cooking, but hates the fuss of thawing frozen meat or fish. All Round Cooling utilizes the cooling plate made of metal at the back of the fridge to hold the cold air and prevent it from being lost when you open the fridge door. It also helps reduce the requirement for power defrosting which saves time and money. The ice dispenser on Samsung fridges is one of the most efficient we've ever tested. The original Twist Ice Maker dispensing large cubes is operated with a simple twist and can be stored below the fridge when not being used. This creates more shelf space, and allows you to easily locate your most loved beverages and snacks. samsung refrigerators can select which way your freezer and fridge are opened by using Reversible Doors. You can easily integrate your fridge into your kitchen layout while keeping it clean and neat. Samsung's Family Hub serves as the central control point for your SmartThings interconnected home via the large touchscreen on your refrigerator. It will show live video feeds from your smart doorbell, make orders for groceries based on an automated inventory or suggest recipes based on the ingredients you have on hand. Samsung refrigerators feature flexible drawers on the bottom that are an efficient storage solution. They make it easy to store taller items like pizza trays or cans of drinks. They can be flipped down when not in use and then folded flat to take up less space. This is a fantastic option for those who love to cook and bake but are limited in their refrigerator storage space. FlexZone The Samsung FlexZone side-by-side fridge freezer features a unique three-zone system that allows you to add an extra refrigerator compartment or freezer drawer to the set-up. This flexibility allows you to personalize your fridge freezer to suit your needs and storage requirements. The FlexZone module allows you to upgrade your fridge to a bigger or smaller size by incorporating an additional FlexZone. The refrigerator is elegant in its design that will fit in with any kitchen design. Its stainless steel finish is sleek and durable. It also has an anti-fingerprint coating to keep the surface looking brand new. The refrigerator comes with an external water and ice dispenser, making it even more efficient. It's a nice-looking fridge that has an upper-right FlexZone compartment that converts from refrigerator to freezer. This allows you to have more freezer space for items like ice cream bags of frozen vegetables and fish or meat. It did well in our tests, too, but the lack of a voice control feature and SmartThings integration on the 21.5-inch touchscreen was an unrealized opportunity. There's plenty of room to store food items in the rest of the fridge, including two crisper drawers and a flexible middle FlexZone drawer. The latter lets you choose between five different settings for the fridge freezer drawer according to your requirements. These include a freeze setting that matches the freezer settings as well as the soft freeze setting for wine or deli tray, a meat or fish setting and a beverage setting for drinks, snacks and other items that are frequently used. This Samsung FlexZone side by side refrigerator is ideal for families that want to have a refrigerator and a freezer in one unit. It's not as spacious than top-of-the-line French door models, but it comes with a number of useful features and is an excellent alternative for those with little space in their kitchens. The Samsung Fridge Freezer is also an extremely energy efficient fridge, thanks to its digital inverter technology. This technology regulates the temperature inside the fridge, so that it doesn't fluctuate too much, and helps keep your food fresher for longer. Its energy efficiency has earned it an ENERGY STAR certification. SmartThings SmartThings may not be as effective as Alexa or Google Assistant, but you can still add more smart devices to it. It's also baked into Samsung smartphones TVs, tablets and tablets – and some refrigerators. That may be enough to warrant it for some, particularly when you own multiple Samsung products. The SmartThings app is a bit polished and well rounded and comes with a 'if x then y' automation section that performs surprisingly well. You can set things up like alarms that go off when sensors for water leaks detect flooding, or turning on the lights when your phone senses you're at home. It can also control your refrigerator if you link it to a smart plug, though we've had mixed results with that. You'll need a hub to use SmartThings, and it's not expensive. Samsung has a range of models, including the SmartThings Station, which you can attach to your router, and is used as a nightlight. There's a lower-cost SmartThings hub dongle that supports Z-Wave, Zigbee and Thread. Once you've connected your smart refrigerator to your phone and hub, it is very simple to use. SmartThings lets you manage your refrigerator from anywhere. Notifications are sent to your smartphone when it is opened or closed. You can create schedules as well as set the temperature and even create reminders. SmartThings is an early member of the Home Connectivity Alliance, which is working to make major home appliances from a range of manufacturers compatible. In the future you could control your Samsung washer/dryer, Electrolux oven, and LG TV through the same application. SmartThings isn't as popular as Alexa or Google Assistant but it does include some major names on its list, including Arlo Nest, Belkin, and Lifx. It's also compatible with Matter, a protocol that allows accessories to pair regardless of their brand. The best choice for most people is to combine Alexa and Google Assistant. Family Hub A fridge freezer isn't much more modern than this: it's equipped with a 21-inch touchscreen in the door, along with a host of clever features. Bixby Samsung's voice-activated assistant, lets you to access entertainment apps, create notes for your family (think of it as a digital version of the notepad attached to the refrigerator) as well as check weather reports and a lot more. The touchscreen also lets you to manage your food items and recipes, with the option to add ingredients straight from a recipe app and see what's in the fridge with internal cameras. You can also create an inventory list of items on the go and monitor food items to determine when they'll expire. You can use an app for recipe reading to read the recipe while you cook. This is the second generation of Family Hub fridges and Samsung claims it has spent a year perfecting them based on customer feedback. One major change is that you can now set different profiles for every family member so that they can personalise the information and apps they have access to. It's still not quite as effective as having Alexa integration integrated into your fridge, but it's an improvement on the previous model. Besides its entertainment and grocery management capabilities, Family Hub also acts as controller for Samsung's SmartThings platform. It can be integrated into Matter-compatible devices, such as lights or plugs and can be used with the touchscreen to control them as well. Samsung's fridge has been in use for a few years now and, even though it provides a decent amount of functionality, the touchscreen smarts don't really stand out as an essential feature for the majority of people. These are more of a fun, semi-frivolous addition than anything else. This could change with the release of more software updates, but for the moment these models are the best for those who wish to have the most comprehensive connected refrigerator that is possible. If you're not among them, you can opt for a less expensive model that doesn't have the Family Hub to save some money. If you have many smart home appliances that you want to control from one screen, or you love the idea of a refrigerator with a giant touchscreen, it could be worth the money.
