/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.17883290]

I am looking to buy a new fridge and I noticed that Loews had smart fridges. Anyone have one? Wondering they are worth it. They have touch screens on them and connect to your WiFi. This is one I was looking at specifically

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Samsung-Family-Hub-Family-Hub-27-7-cu-ft-4-Door-French-Door-Refrigerator-with-Ice-Maker-Fingerprint-Resistant-Stainless-Steel-ENERGY-STAR/1000948432

Features included are:

>Family Hub™: Samsung’s Family Hub,™ now with Alexa built in, lets you control your compatible smart devices, stream music, and so much more, all right from your fridge
>Smart Home: See who’s at the front door, adjust your Nest thermostat, get notifications from your Samsung smart appliances – all on your Family Hub.™
>Entertainment: Enjoy streaming your favorite music apps or watching your favorite shows from your compatible Samsung TV or smartphone, and accessing your favorite sites – all on your Family Hub.™
>Family: Share pictures, videos or drawings, leave handwritten notes, and sync calendars – all on your Family Hub.™
>Cooking: See inside your fridge, search recipes, plan meals, shop for ingredients and send cooking instructions to your Samsung smart oven – all on your Family Hub.™
>Wi-Fi connection and Samsung account required

Sounds pretty cool. The fridge can suggest what to cook based on what is in the fridge. Sometimes when I cook I can play the Sopranos or something from the fridge's screen. What do you think?

I wrote an android app for my smart fridge for recipes. I shared it with my family so anyone can upload and I can access them from my phone or have it up on my fridge.

I'm by no means a Luddite, but cooking is one of the few rituals I regularly partake in that's exactly the same as my great grandparents did. I like having that daily disconnect personally. Getting notifications while I'm trying to slice an onion doesn't sound like a "feature" to me.

[Anonymous No.17883367]

I got one it's pretty good but IMO it only works if you live in a big home and are a whore for using Alexa and ring a lot. Like I can buzz people into my house from the fridge while I cook that is pretty nice but ultimately you can achieve the same thing if you just have a tablet in the kitchen

If you are going to spend that much just get a subzero fridge. They will last you until you die then last until your kids die. Then get a wolf range and a cove dishwasher. The best kitchen appliances you can buy and still be under 10k.

This. "Smart" tech is inane.

[Anonymous No.17887248]

People are talking about how stupid smart tech is and how insane the "solution" is to a problem that doesnt exist but are missing the major point. Good luck spending $4000 to get a SAMSUNG QUALIFIED OFFICIAL ENGINEER to repair your door hinge 2 years in and if you try to repair it yourself it will stop working.

Do you honestly think anyone who would drop 10 fucking grand on a fridge because it has a Galaxy Tab on the door would give a shit about repair costs?
I’m also pretty sure there’s zero chance that sort of person would ever attempt a self-repair on anything.

spending $10k on a $2.5k fridge just because it has an android tablet on the door is the very definition of pissing away money for retarded reasons.
Which is why you don’t see that shit in actual richfag houses, you see Sub Zero or similar.

I love smart shit. I have over a dozen Google/Amazon/Eufy/Wemo smart thingies.
However, I never, ever, buy any product with smarts integrated.
All my appliances are dumb. Every single one. Washer, oven, fridge, treadmill, furnace, speakers, even/especially TVs and those are getting really hard to find.

Smart shit rots very quickly, accidentally or by design. For example, Samsung will 100% start shoving fullscreen ads to this fridge within a few years. At that time, I want the ability to throw out or replace the smarts, while keeping the fridge.

You're right anon I lied on the internet just for you. Your parents are likely old money in which case they don't care about tech anyway. Newer money which is more tech savvy and impressed by dangly smart home bullshit is what this sorta thing is for, but still dont want to throw money away for no reason. While I agree that this bullshit is a waste of money, it probably has value to some people. I dunno who, but its a product for somebody or it wouldnt sell. Either way they don't want to piss money away. But I may be biased as I avoid Samshit and other brands who are gonna have their shit break after 2 years.
