The refrigerator is the most important part of our kitchen – and the fridges of today can do more than just serve as cold closets for food. It is the era of the smart fridge today, and the fridge that started it all is the Samsung Family Hub, which is still very popular. Smart fridges today, apart from Wi-Fi capabilities, have a large touchscreen, allows access to voice assistants, videos, music, leave reminders, sends notifications, collates shopping lists, and so much more. In this article, we take a look at bells and whistles on the latest smart fridges which make sense to upgrade your fridge to a smart one:

Wi-Fi Connectivity
Smart fridges connect to Wi-Fi networks and allow for interactive data and integration to a host of other smart devices. Smart fridges also work extremely well with voice assistants such as Alexa, Google Home, etc.

Expiry Date Alert
Expiry dates are death for food products – and for users who do not remember them or forget that such food exists in one’s fridge. Smart fridges do away with all such tedious tasks by keeping track of expiry dates. They can even label food items and associate various data elements with them like reminders for the food to be consumed or remind people of their expiry dates. Now not only will the food not go bad, but it won’t get wasted either.

Shopping List
If you’re a slob with your grocery shopping list, your smart fridge can help out big here. It allows users to easily add items to their shopping lists via the built-in touchscreen or using voice commands.

Inner View
Smart fridges allow users to keep track of what they need to stock and keep by showing them views of the inside of their fridges on their smartphones, even when they aren’t at home. It is extremely useful while shopping too, in case you want to peek within the fridge to see whether a certain item is there or not, or how much of it is there in your fridge. It even allows you to easily pick up food on the way home from the office as you can just see what is in the fridge and what isn’t, instead of waiting to get back home, check the same, and step out again.

Internet Browsing
Smart fridges are equipped with a built-in browser which allows users to use the fridge just like their phone or their tablets for browsing purposes. Its extremely useful for those who spend a lot of time in their kitchen experimenting with new recipes and/or are into the food industry, like food bloggers.

Recipes
Smart fridges are insanely amazing for storing recipes or for even viewing videos on how to make the items that one wishes to cook. If you see cooking as therapy, then a smart fridge is one you would want by your side in your kitchen.

Whiteboard
The whiteboard feature allows users to keep handwritten notes using the touchscreen feature. What’s more, it can even be easily edited at any time, allowing you to update to-do tasks and lists without adding new ones.
