The voice-controlled fridges from LG are well-suited to busy families, due to the integration of Amazon Alexa, which functions as a personal assistant with an impressive range of capabilities.
With a large touchscreen on the front of the fridge, consumers can quickly access the device's settings, which allow them to check the weather or a personalized gallery of pictures, control the fridge's temperature and even see exactly what's on their shelves from outside with the use of a built-in camera.
With the help of this feature, consumers are able to scan the food they have so they know exactly what needs to be picked up at the grocery store. Then, through the touchscreen, they're able to order these items through Amazon Fresh. In order to make this process more efficient, they can use the voice-controlled fridge to create a shopping list as well.
