Best refrigerators for smart homes

Your smart home should include a smart refrigerator. Samsung’s touch screen refrigerators all feature Samsung’s Family Hub, with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built-in. The smart fridge component can connect with, and be used to control your phone, computer, TV, smart doorbell, Nest thermostat and Samsung home appliances. It can share photos, stream music and more. The Family Hub feature lets you see inside your fridge from anywhere (via your connected device), search recipes based on what you have on hand, plan weekly meals and even send cooking instructions to your Samsung smart oven.

Samsung smart 4-door Flex refrigerator with Family Hub

“This design is brilliant,” wrote a Samsung customer. “Each door is small enough to open. There are no handles which makes it being against the wall so much easier. There’s no ice maker on the left side of the door to hinder how much you can see on the left side. Opening it at a 90-degree angle is all you need to do everything that you need. It’s completely flat which makes opening it to the wall so much easier (if you notice a lot of fridges are domed at the front which does not give you space to open door against the wall).”
