It’s unlikely that anyone can be surprised by a “smart home” system these days. Recently, more and more technology has become intelligent, and refrigerators are no exception. However, are they worth the money and the efforts of engineers? What are they even capable of? This is exactly what I will talk about today using the example of the 3 best smart refrigerators for 2020.

LG GC-Q22FTBKL
A large device with three cameras and already proven “No Frost” technology. The ability to defrost yourself is a pretty good help, right? At the same time, the volume of the main compartment is slightly more than 300 liters. In the freezer it almost reaches 145 liters, and even instead of three compartments it has six! The design of the model is also quite attractive. Of course, it wouldn't be possible without customizable backlighting. But what about mental functions?
There is a display on the body that shows the temperature inside the chambers, freshness, as well as a door closing indicator. What’s even more interesting is the transparent panel on the second door. By knocking on it, you can look inside the refrigerator without opening it. In addition, the equipment can withstand quite severe voltage fluctuations.
Of course, there is also a special mobile application for controlling LG's creation. In it you can adjust the temperature, turn on quick freezing, and diagnose the system. There are few functions, but this is not the most expensive smart refrigerator.Its minimum price is “only” about 109,000 rubles.
Xiaomi Viomi Smart Refrigerator 21 Face 521L
How to get by in the ranking of smart technology without Xiaomi? China offers a fairly roomy model, which, however, is slightly inferior to LG. The refrigerator compartment here is only 290 liters. But the freezer compartment, on the contrary, wins - its volume is 173 liters. Air circulation technology and “No Frost” are also available, like LG.
A touch display is built into the door, with which you can control the refrigerator and more. In addition to setting the temperature, it can be used to watch movies, read the news, and even monitor the house via a webcam! Many will also be pleased with the “Vacation” function - a kind of energy saving. In case of prolonged absence of owners, less electricity is consumed. The only drawback is that the display freezes periodically. All this is cool, but the price of the “smart guy” from LG is already biting, amounting to about 180,400 rubles.
Samsung Family Hub
Well, now the heavy artillery from the world of smart refrigerators. This model is much more expensive than the previous ones - the minimum price starts from 250,000 rubles. But the functionality fully justifies its high cost. However, first about the standard. The volume of the chambers is immediately amazing: 383 and 210 liters for the refrigerator and freezer. The latter is generally equipped with dry freezing technology. Thanks to it, products can be stored for almost years! Ice generator, antibacterial materials, “No Frost” - all modern standard systems on board. As for the mind...
It’s already hard to surprise with a touch screen on the door, so manufacturers added a feature called “Family Board”.It will especially appeal to those who like to attach photos to refrigerator doors or leave notes for household members. The big screen has become a real digital board! Not only that, you can also customize its design to match the theme of the rest of the kitchen. Samsung Family Hub also has a voice assistant. You can listen to and view news reports and weather for the day on the screen. And the refrigerator will remind you about an open door with a notification on your phone.
Here’s another common situation: a person comes to the store and completely forgets what groceries he needs to buy. And here the refrigerator is ready to help, because a special camera is built into the door! I just took out my smartphone and looked at what was missing at home! You can even track the expiration date of all products. This opportunity is provided by the “Food Reminder” function.
In addition, Samsung Family Hub is deservedly considered one of the quietest refrigerators. With it you don’t even have to worry about a power outage, because it has a battery life function of up to ten hours. In the case of this device, it becomes clear why it needs “intelligence”.
