![]() ![]() We tested the fridge at half-full fridge to see how well it kept items cool and fresh. Still, with a little patience, you can probably get the features you really care about to work well for you. Essentially, there’s a lot you can do with the connected 21.5-inch touchscreen, but none of it is totally smooth sailing. While the app does take a bit to connect, it does work, and you can use it to easily see who is ringing the doorbell without ever leaving your kitchen. If you use Ring security devices at home, you can login to the Ring app and view the outdoor video camera or video doorbell feed or motion alerts right on the fridge’s screen. Unfortunately, the sound from the fridge isn’t fantastic it’s actually a bit tinny. While there isn’t a TV built-in, there is internet access, so you can do things like stream cooking videos. We’re happy to report that despite its large size, the Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator held temperatures well. Steak came out on the screen as “stake.” We got the same inconsistent results whether the room was empty and quiet or there were people talking in the background. That means that you can’t just muddle off a list of ingredients from a recipe book.Īdditionally, Bixby has issues with words like ketchup (the voice assistant kept writing it as “catch up”) and lettuce (“let us”). It is a bit complicated, though: to do the latter you need to be standing very close to get the voice activation to work, and you have to tap the screen after saying each item. You can add items using the touchscreen keyboard or by pressing the microphone icon and speaking to the fridge via Samsung’s voice assistant - Bixby. You can create a shopping list directly on the screen as well as add foods to the fridge’s app so you can monitor when they’ll go bad. The feature is part creepy and part food detective. The View Inside app takes time-stamped pictures of what’s in your fridge every day, and you can scroll through past days (up to three weeks or so) to see what was inside when. No need to open it and stand in front of it for countless minutes hoping that what you want will pop out at you.
