This American Family Hub from Samsung is, without exaggeration, the most luxurious refrigerator I have ever seen. I am most enthusiastic about the built-in camera, the tablet and the automatic door. With the camera I can see what I have in stock at home in the supermarket. However, the camera only focuses on the top of the cooling compartment. The door opens automatically when I lightly touch the sensor. The tablet on the front is the icing on the cake for me. With this I watch series while I am cooking.
First impression
For me, the kitchen is a place where everyone comes together and where it is cozy. This refrigerator contributes to this feeling. Everyone who comes to visit is immediately curious about all the functions. When I lightly touch the sensor at the door, the refrigerator opens automatically. Due to the large capacity on the inside, I have a lot of space and I never have to cram. Inside the refrigerator is a Metal Cooling back wall. This metal wall retains the cold better when I open and close the door. It is also nice that I can tap a cold glass of water with ice cubes via the dispenser.
Built-in camera
I normally find grocery shopping quite a hassle. Sometimes I drive back a few times because I forgot something. This is not necessary with this refrigerator thanks to the built-in camera. I can see from the supermarket which ingredients I am still missing for my fresh pasta. I do this via an app on my smartphone. Even when I am in the kitchen, I can see what is in the refrigerator via the tablet. I only look at the top.
Auto Open Door
When I am standing in front of the refrigerator door with my hands full of oven snacks, I am happy with the Auto Open Door function. This works with voice control via Bixby, Samsung's virtual assistant. Even when I touch the sensor on the door with my index finger, the door opens automatically. This works the same for the freezer compartment. The sensor is quite sensitive, so the door also opens if I accidentally bump into it. Fortunately, I am getting better and better at this.
Watching series
For me, the tablet is the highlight of this refrigerator. While I bake an apple pie, I stream my Samsung TV on the screen. I also watch cooking programs on YouTube, put on Miffy for my daughter and keep track of the family agenda. When the doorbell rings, I look on the tablet to see who is at the door. My groceries, which I ordered online, have arrived. I put them away immediately.
