FAMILY HUB SMART FRIDGE


If you've got money to spend and you're in the market for a refrigerator that can do a little more than just keep your food and beers cold, Samsung has your back with the latest version of its tech-packed smart fridge. With built-in cameras, it will not only let you see what's inside, so you can check what you have left from your phone whenever you're out, it will also suggest optimal recipes for the user based on their food ingredient preferences and the expiry date of the ingredients in the fridge. Let's say the partner likes beef and hates carrots, and you don't enjoy salmon; the meal planner function proposes menu options to keep everyone happy while minimising food waste. This nifty fridge will find ingredients close to their expiry dates first and will rule out carrots and salmon as ingredients and offers recipes for food that includes beef. Use the touchscreen to food shop, share family calendars, photos, notes, stream music, radio and mirror your TV; it's a revolutionary piece of tech for the kitchen!
