The Samsung Family Hub smart fridge is a connected appliance that lets users give commands to Amazon Alexa so that it's easy to play music while cooking, search for recipes, order groceries and much more. This hands-free feature makes it easy for a variety of smart home tasks to be executed, which promises to be especially valuable in the kitchen when messes are being made and hands are busy.
The Family Hub fridge can be controlled via the SmartThings app, or through the fridge itself, and with the newly added SmartThings Cooking platform, users can even get meal recommendations based on their personal preferences.
Although Samsung has its own voice assistant that goes by the name Bixby, this appliance lets users connect to Amazon Alexa instead for more functionality.
