Samsung Fridge Freezers With SmartThings Samsung's Family Hub fridge comes with a 389-litre fridge and the freezer, which is 225 litres. It's a large American-style model with quality temperature control and a dazzling range of smart features. It's customizable with removable panels which allows you to design one that perfectly matches your collection of tie dye Crocs and matte black Rick Owens clothing. All Round Cooling In refrigerators equipped with All Round Cooling, separate cooling circuits can help keep your food fresher. Conventional fridges have a single evaporator that cools both the freezer and the refrigerator compartment. This usually means that the low-humidity air from your freezer is transferred to your fridge, and it can cause your foods to dry out. This can make them taste bland and unpleasant. With All Round Cooling, each shelf level has multiple vents which circulate cool air. This helps to maintain a more consistent temperature, even when you close and open the refrigerator door. Optimal Fresh Zone keeps fish and meats fresher for twice as long as conventional refrigerators, without freezing them. This feature is a game changer for anyone who loves cooking but doesn't like the hassle of thawing frozen fish or meat. All Round Cooling utilizes an All Round Cooling metal cooling plate at the back of the refrigerator to retain cold air and prevent the loss of it when you open the door. It also reduces the need for power defrosting saving you time and money. The ice dispenser that comes with Samsung fridges is one of the best we've ever tested. Its patented Twist Ice Maker dispenses large cubes by simply twisting and can be stored in the drawer below when not in use. This gives you more shelf space and makes it easier to locate your preferred snacks and drinks. You can choose which way your fridge and freezer open with Reversible Doors. It is easy to fit your fridge into the layout of your kitchen while maintaining it neat and tidy. Samsung's Family Hub serves as the central control for your SmartThings connected home with the large touchscreen on your fridge. It will show you a live video feed of your smart doorbell. It can also order groceries using an automated inventory system or suggest recipes based on what's in the store. The flex drawers at the bottom of Samsung fridges are an excellent storage solution that make it easier to store larger items such as canned drinks or pizza trays. They can be flipped up when not in use, and folded flat to use less space. This is a great option for those who are passionate about baking and cooking, but have limited fridge space. FlexZone The Samsung FlexZone side-by-side fridge freezer comes with a unique three-zone design that lets you add an additional refrigerator compartment or a freezer drawer to your set up. This flexibility lets you design your fridge freezer according to your storage requirements and needs. Samsung refrigerator allows you to upgrade your fridge to a larger or smaller size by incorporating an extra FlexZone. The fridge has an elegant design that will complement any kitchen decor. The stainless-steel finish is long-lasting and sleek. Plus, it comes with anti-fingerprint coating to keep the surface of the appliance looking brand new. The fridge comes with an external water and ice dispenser to make it even more convenient. It's a stylish fridge with the bottom-right FlexZone compartment that can be converted from refrigerator to freezer. This allows you to keep things like bags of frozen meat, frozen vegetables or fish in the freezer. It also performs well in our tests, though the 21.5-inch touchscreen's bloated apps and lack of SmartThings or voice control integration make it seem like a missed opportunity. The remainder of the fridge has plenty of space to store food, including two crisper trays as well as the middle FlexZone drawer, which can be customized. The latter lets you pick between five different settings for the fridge freezer drawer depending on your preferences. There are five options: A freezer setting, a soft-freeze setting for wine trays or deli trays for example, meat setting, fish setting, and a beverage setting to store drinks, snacks and other items that are frequently used. This Samsung FlexZone side by side refrigerator is perfect for families who wish 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 has plenty of useful features and is a great alternative for those with little space in their kitchens. Samsung Fridge Freezers are also very energy-efficient thanks to their digital inverter technology. This technology regulates the temperature inside the fridge so it doesn't change too much, and helps keep your food fresher for longer. Its energy efficiency has earned it an Energy STAR certification. SmartThings SmartThings isn't quite the same platform that Alexa and Google Assistant are, but it does have many smart devices that you can add. Samsung's phones, TVs, tablets and fridges all have SmartThings. It might be enough for some people, especially if they have multiple Samsung products. The SmartThings App is well-rounded and polished, and includes an “if x, then y” automation section that works well. It is possible to set up things as alarms that go off when sensors detect a flooding, or turn on the lights when your phone determines you are at home. It can also control your refrigerator if you connect it to a smart socket, however, we've had mixed results with that. SmartThings requires a hub, which isn't cheap. Samsung has a number of options that include the SmartThings Station that you can attach to an existing router and use it as a nightlight. There's also a less expensive SmartThings Hub Dongle that can support Z-Wave and Zigbee, with Thread support to be added soon. Once you've connected your smart refrigerator to your phone and hub, it's very easy to use. SmartThings lets you control your refrigerator from anywhere. Notifications are sent to your phone when it is opened or closed. You can set up schedules to set the temperature, and even create reminders. SmartThings is an early member of the Home Connectivity Alliance, which is trying to make major appliances in the home from a variety of manufacturers compatible. This could mean that you'll be able to control your Samsung washer and dryer, Electrolux oven and LG television from the same app in the future. While it's not as widely accepted as Alexa and Google Assistant, SmartThings does have a few big hitters on its roster, including Arlo, Nest, Belkin and Lifx. It's compatible with Matter protocol, which allows accessories to be connected regardless of the brand. The best option for most people is to combine Alexa and Google Assistant. Family Hub A fridge freezer can't get much more modern than this: it comes with a 21-inch touchscreen in the door, complete with a host of intelligent features. You can access entertainment apps, write notes for family members (think the size of a notepad that is stuck to the fridge), check weather updates and more, all thanks Samsung's own voice assistant, Bixby. The touchscreen also lets you to manage your food items and recipes, with the option to add ingredients directly from an app for recipes and view what's in your fridge through internal cameras. You can make a grocery list while on the go and monitor foods to see their expiration date. You can also use a recipe app to read out the instructions while you cook. Samsung has spent a whole year working on the Family Hub fridges based on feedback from customers. One major change is that you can now set different profiles for each family member so that they can customize the information and apps they have access to. It's not as good as Alexa integration into your fridge but it is an improvement over last year's model. Family Hub is not only an app for managing your groceries and entertainment, but it also controls Samsung's SmartThings platform. It can be used to control Matter-compatible devices such as lights and plugs as well as locks. Samsung's fridge is a few years old and, although it still offers a wide range of functions however, its touchscreen capabilities aren't a feature most people would consider a must-have. They're more fun and semi-frivolous accessories than anything else. This could change as more software updates are released, but for now these models are best for those looking for the most comprehensive connected fridge that is possible. If you aren't one of them, you can opt for a less expensive model without the Family Hub to save some money. It could be worth it for you in the event that you own a lot of smart home appliances that must be controlled from the same screen, or if you just like the idea of an appliance with a massive touchscreen.
