Look: This refrigerator looks very modern and elegant. Being the counter depth model, it seamlessly merges with cabinets. It looks very much like the pricier custom panel refrigerators. We were skeptical about lack of water dispenser at front initially. But we have come to love the new sleek finish.
Features: The most used feature of this fridge is placed right on the front - it's the family hub. My kids are the biggest fans. The large screen provides ample space for them to express their artistic sides. The speech queries works. Want a to see a recipe - just ask the fridge. Want to listen to music while cooking - just ask the fridge. Want to check today's calendar - just ask the fridge. Want to control smart devices in the home - just tell the fridge.
The refrigerator also has smarts to identify the contents inside the fridge and show how long it has been sitting inside the fridge. That is so useful. The refrigerator also suggests recipes based on contents of the fridge. You can also see inside the fridge - remotely - using SmartThings app. The object recogninition engine needs some more work. For exmaple the fridge correctly identified items like cheese box, avacados and grapes, it doesn't seem to read out the labels on the items, leading to incorrectly labelling yogurt container as alfredo sauce, cream cheese as olive, and box of tomatoes as canned fruits. But I firmly believe the ML powering this object recogninition will get better over time.
The Family hub also makes meal planning and recipes a breeze. That simplfies the shopping lists by a magnitude and definitely saved us time and money by reducing amount of trips and extra buys.
The other feature I like is the auto filling water dispenser. This summer it provided us with self replenishing source of cool and refreshing water.
The ice dispensers are also nifty. The fridge came with a ice scoop - it was ready for bar duties!
Thing that we haven't used heavily - FlexZone. And that's just because we have another fridge in the garage that we haven't run out of space yet. I am sure we will need it at some point of time.
Regular usage:
Ours is a vegetarian family - meaning lots and lots of greens and fruits. And so far everything we have thrown in the fridge - it is preserving them nicely. We cook a lot of ethic food (Indian). And the fridge has done a fanstastic job to not make milk smell like Tikka Masala. The fridge excels at keeping nice uniform temperature.
Overall, Samsung delivered a Winner.
