- An honest review of Samsung's newest and biggest smart refrigerator with built in android tablet. With over 26 cubic feet of storage space, does this Samsung refrigerator have everyone you need for your family? And does your family need an android like screen built in to the refrigerator. The Samsung side by side refrigerator can provide music, info, internet, news, weather, bulletin board, photo gallery, grocery list, picture of what is inside and so much more.
This product was provided by the Seeds program in return for an honest written review. Home Depot has nothing to do with the making of this video review.
Great detailed review! Really loved your sense of humor on that tablet part😁
Thank you for the kind words and for watching.
Almost all new refrigerators come with the bue-ish LED lights and they look great. Frankly, I found your review very bland. You seem too old school to appreciate the slickness and beauty of that fridge, complain about very minor things. I don't have it yet but I am about to buy it on sale for $1,899. I saw it at Lowes and the pricepoint is excellent compared to other fridges I looked at.
Sorry you find the review bland, but a frig that retails for over $2000 should have the basics covered and this one doesn't. The storage space is too narrow, shelves aren't adjustable, horrible cheap blue LED lights, no light at water/ice dispenser, no drip tray, and useless interior camera. Yes the stainless steel skin, and the huge built in screen are cool and hip, but don't make up for what a refrigerator main job is; which is to store and keep food cold. The fridge may look cool, but the minor things like having to move everything in front out of the way to get to something in the back because the shelf is narrow becomes a major annoyance.
Good to hear you got it on sale, hope to hear back from you when you have had it for a while. Thank you for sharing and watching.
@@cfldriven have had mine for months now and love it!
@@dojihammer We've had ours for over a year and it still a love and hate relationship. I had one guy tell me he got his to recognize food items, but even with the latest update, it still needs someone to tell it what the item is.
I love the blue lighting. I cannot see very well, so when I open the refrigerator it's bright and gives me a happy feeling, versus the normal soft white bulb which is not as bright.
I agree the LED is a vast improvement over the old light bulb, but the color temperature should be a lot lighter. These days blue LEDs in products are a sign of going cheap.
I was so inclined to this refrigerator. since it comes up with Ring doorbell $249 value as free on top of already discounted price. After seeing your review, I'm a little hesitant. Thanks for your review. It help to make me rethink about this gadget.
Sundar sometime the eye candy can be distracting. Determine what you really need in a refrigerator and focus on that when looking. Like I say in the video for some the display panel is exactly what the need for the rest of us there are less expensive units with more features. Good luck on your search and thank you for sharing your experience.
Hi there, I know this post is from 4 years ago but I was hoping you could tell me how was your refrigerator working now? I purchased the Samsung family hub refrigerator about seven years ago and I’m in the market to buy another one. I was looking at this one. Have you had any problems with the mechanics of the refrigerator like the cooling or the ice-maker anything to that effect…any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Curious why you are in the market for another, hope it still working. While this is not my favorite frig, I miss the old frig with freezer on top. It was just easier to find things. Beyond that this frig has been faultless all these years. I bypassed the water filter (czcams.com/video/k3GG5u51x_0/video.html) and with the exception of no built in light at the dispenser I have had no issues with ice, water, or it icing up. It maintains it temps without having to manually readjust. So far it has been maintenance free. The family hub is not as useful as advertised, I sometimes use it to stream music, check weather and run several timers when baking bread otherwise it sits on the home screen. Hope this helps.
Thanks for this!
Most welcome, thanks for watching.
I know this is a year old but can you tell me if the door swings out flush? Or how much extra space does it require for the door to swing out to 90 degrees.
And when the door is open 90 degrees do the slide out drawers open without running into the door containers?
Good set of questions, the door does not swing out flush, it will hang over at least an inch. With the door at 90 degrees you have 6 inches to slide a bin or shelf forward. That is plenty for reaching inside of the bin. If you need to remove the bin or glass shelf for cleaning, you will need to open the door to 180 degrees. Thanks for watching.
If my internet goes out, can I still control the family hub to control temp/basic function of the fridge?
Yes, you'd be able to control temp, but apps like browser, recipe, morning news, music apps, etc which need internet would not work. The more important question to ask what happens if the display goes bad.
Hi my refrigerator panel shows a diferent refrigerator what can I do my is a side by side on the screen show a 3 door refrigerator please help
If you are referring to the icon on the display it normal to show a 3 door graphic, however if you go to the Fridge Manager page and it show a three door model I would go to Settings > Help and Contact Us to file a report for assistance. Hope this helps.
Do you have to have a certain amount of subs for the seed program?
Good question, all I can tell you is they invite folks to join Seeds based on their written review contributions to Home Depot. It has nothing to do with CZcams.
Hi...all Samsung fridge family hub comes with speakers?
Thanks!!!
The stereo speakers are built in right below the screen, and for a refrig aren't too shabby.
The legal process (forced acceptance after the fact) with companies after buying a tech product is absurd.
Very common in electric world and spreading to other products including cars.
Have you had any issues with the fridge since you had it for 9 months now ?
So far no issues with the fridge or Family Hub. I did remove the water filter czcams.com/video/k3GG5u51x_0/video.html as we did not need it with our city water. I did notice during a two day power outage that it was able to keep stuff frozen in the freezer section. Hope this is helpful.
@@cfldriven thank you I’m looking to purchase this fridge I just want to make sure it’s worth the $$
@@MikeSmithMLS For me it seems to hold less items then the old top freezer and slightly smaller fridge it replaced. The side by side makes everything feel crowded as the shelves are narrower. If you don't need the Family Hub it can be a cheaper purchase.
hard to clean door handles because of the......Corona Virus. Got it✌
It certainly takes more of an effort to clean these doors handles and unlike the old handles you can't see when they get stuff on them.
It is clear from your review that you need the $600 fridge with no features. All the negative items you list because of technology are positives in my mind. Maybe stick to what you know and enjoy your paper and yellow light.
Bryan, two plus years later and I still think have the same opinion about this fridge. Glad you were able to see the mentioned disadvantages in a different light. I love tech, but this fridge relies on the screen for everything, meaning if the screen fails you have to either order a replacement panel which currently cost $1,166.80 or trash the entire unit. Had they mounted the controls on the inside, a panel failure would not alter fridge operation. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@cfldriven I opted not to go with this fridge after seeing the model in store. The clock was somehow severely out of date and because of that every HTTPS certificate wouldn't load and the panel was completely useless. I am also not a fan of Samsung's take/use of Android. I also think their camera technology works great on the French Door model fridges, but for a side-by-side it is pretty useless (unless you only care about the two shelves). Thanks for the review.
@@BryanPoulsen Actually the WiFi connection with this fridge has been very solid. Even after a power outage the system comes up with the correct time and date. It handles spring forward and fallback all on its own. The Samsung OS Tizen is stable and the latest updates which include access to Samsung TV make it more interesting if not a little more useful.
Agree on the side by side the camera is just a gimmick we don't bother with.
How fast does the ice replenish
When we empty it to pack the cooler, it takes several hours to get a couple of cubes. If you're having a party you need to stock up ahead of time as this won't keep up. For normal use it is okay.
7:52 you have coronavirus on your refrigerator at your home?
The hidden handles like the door knobs are high touch areas and thus they should be regularly cleaned. The hidden handles just make it harder to do. As to your question, if it makes it onto the refrig door, it is dealt with in short order. Stay safe.
Dude. Tizen is not android
You are right, I was using Android as a generic. In reality Android was developed by Google and uses Linux as does Samsung's Tizen. At first glance the two can appear to be the similar although closer inspection reveals differences. Thank you for keeping me honest.
