Samsung Fridge Freezers With SmartThings Samsung's Family Hub fridge comes with the capacity of a 389-litre refrigerator and an 225-litre freezer. It's a large American model with a top-quality temperature control system and many smart features. It's customizable thanks to removable panels and you can create one that perfectly matches your collection of tie dye Crocs and matte black Rick Owens clothing. All Round Cooling Separate cooling circuits for fridges equipped with All Round Cooing help keep your food fresher. Conventional fridges have a single evaporator that cools both the freezer as well as the refrigerator compartment. This usually means that the low humidity air from your freezer is circulated into your fridge and it could cause your food items to dry out. This can make the food taste bland and unpleasant. Each shelf level is equipped with multiple vents that circulate cool air. This helps maintain a consistent temperature even if you open and shut the refrigerator door. Optimal Fresh Zone keeps meats and fish fresher for up to twice as long as in conventional fridges, and without freezing them. This feature is an exciting option for anyone who enjoys cooking but hates the hassle of thawing out frozen fish or meat. All Round Cooling employs an All Round Cooling cooling plate located at the back of the refrigerator to retain cold air and avoid its loss when you open the door. samsung refrigerator reduces your requirement for power defrosting, which saves you time and money. Samsung refrigerators come with one of the top Ice dispensers we've tested. The patented Twist Ice Maker dispensing large cubes can be dispensed by one simple twist. It can be kept below the fridge when not being used. This creates more shelf space, and allows you to easily locate your favorite beverages and snacks. You can select which way your freezer and fridge open by using reversible Doors. This lets you easily accommodate your fridge within the kitchen layout, while also keeping your fridge tidy and neat.

Samsung refrigerators come with flexible drawers on the bottom that are an intelligent storage solution. They make it simple to store larger items, such as pizza trays and cans of drinks. They can be turned upside down when not in use, and then folded flat to use up less space.

This lets you keep things like ice cream, bags frozen meat, frozen vegetables or fish in the freezer.

There's plenty of room to store food in the rest of the fridge, including two crisper drawers and a flexible middle FlexZone drawer. This drawer lets you choose among five different settings, based on the needs of your fridge freezer compartment. There are five options: A freezer setting, a soft-freeze setting for wine trays or the deli tray, for instance. a meat setting, a fish setting and a beverage setting to store snacks, drinks, and frequently used items.

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 isn't quite the same platform that Alexa and Google Assistant are but it does come with a lot of smart devices you can add. It's also integrated into Samsung smartphones, tablets and TVs – plus some fridges. It could be enough to warrant it for some, particularly when you own multiple Samsung products. The SmartThings app is pretty polished and well rounded, with a 'if x then y' automation feature that performs surprisingly well. You can set up things like an alarm that goes off when water sensors detect a flood, or turn on the lights when your phone senses that you're at home. It can also control your fridge if you connect it to a smart socket, however we've had mixed results with this. You'll require a hub to use SmartThings, which isn't expensive. Samsung has a range of models, including the SmartThings Station, which you can connect to your router and can be used as an nightlight. There's also a cheaper SmartThings Hub Dongle that supports Z-Wave and Zigbee and Thread, with Thread support to be added soon. Once you have your smart fridge, smartphone and hub connected, it's really easy to use. The SmartThings app lets you control your fridge from anywhere with notifications sent to your phone when it's closed or opened. You can set up schedules to set the temperature, and even create reminders. SmartThings was one of the founding members of the Home Connectivity Alliance. This alliance is working towards making the most important home appliances from various manufacturers compatible. In the near future you could control your Samsung washer/dryer, Electrolux oven, and LG TV from the same app. SmartThings is not as popular as Alexa or Google Assistant but it does include some major names on its list, such as Arlo Nest, Belkin, and Lifx. It's also compatible with Matter, which allows for accessories to be paired regardless of brand. The most effective option for people is to pair Alexa and Google Assistant. Family Hub This refrigerator freezer is the most modern one you can find. It comes with a 21-inch touchscreen integrated into the door, and comes with a variety of smart features. Bixby Samsung's voice-activated assistant, allows you to access entertainment apps, take notes for your family (think of it as a digital version of the notepad that is stuck to the refrigerator) and check the weather forecast and a lot more. The touchscreen also allows you to organize your food and recipes, with the ability to add ingredients straight from a recipe app and see what's in the fridge with internal cameras. You can also make shopping lists on the go and keep track of foods to see when they'll expire. You can also use an app for recipes that will provide instructions while you cook. Samsung has spent an entire year reworking the Family Hub fridges based on feedback from customers. You can now create distinct profiles for every family member so that they can customize the information and apps they can access. It's not as great as having Alexa integration integrated into your refrigerator but it's an improvement on last year's model. Apart from its entertainment and grocery management capabilities, Family Hub also acts as an interface for Samsung's SmartThings platform. It can onboard Matter-compatible devices, like lights and plugs and can be used with the touchscreen to control them. Samsung's fridge is only a few years old and while it still has a lot of functionality, its touchscreen smarts are not a feature that many people would consider to be an essential feature. They're more of a fun, semi-frivolous accessory than anything else. It could change when more software updates are made available, but for now these models are best for those looking for the most complete connected fridge they can get. You can save money by purchasing a model that does not include the Family Hub if you're not one of those people. This could be worth it for you in the event that you own a lot of smart home appliances that must be controlled via the same screen or if you just enjoy the idea of having an appliance with a massive touchscreen.
