Smart Refrigerator Reviews

Here are the Top 5 Smart Refrigerators on the market for 2020

We wanted to provide a number of Smart Refrigerator Reviews as this is by far the hottest trend over the last 10 years.  We've just updated the list for 2020, so be sure to sift through to find the best model.

We narrowed down the list to only the very Best Reviewed and Best Rated Refrigerators.

Smart Refrigerators are more than just a fad, they're here to stay.  So, we've tried to identify those models and brands that have the features that are worth paying for and avoiding those that don't.

There are so many different technologies.  Some are AWESOME and some are frankly, just ridiculous.  That said, Smart Refrigerators have made some huge strides over the past 3-5 years.  So let's get to the list!

Tip: If you don't find what you are looking for today, check back again soon as we update this list often.

1. Samsung RF22K9581SG 4-door Family Hub French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Best TECH!

OVERVIEW: The Samsung RF22K9581SG Family Hub French Door Refrigerator is consistently one of the best reviewed refrigerators available.  While it's internal size is a bit smaller, it's a great update for a home with 2-3 people.

It uses Samsung's unique BIXBY technology.  (Samsung's Alexa like tech.)  In our Smart Refrigerator Reviews, it's a constant favorite of consumers.

Considering the typically high cost of a counter depth refrigerator we were surprised at how inexpensive this model was.  Definitely a model to worth considering.

2. LG Insta-View Door in Door THINQ
Smart Refrigerator - Great for FAMILIES!

The LG ThinQ Smart Refrigerator Four Door Refrigerator is one of the most complete Smart Refrigerators on the market.  (And just when you thought we couldn't put the word Refrigerator four times in a sentence!)

It's the perfect family refrigerator as the Insta-View feature allows you (or the kids) the ability to simply tap twice on the window and the interior lights up.  If you just touch the screen, you can use the touch screen panel to look up recipes, check the weather and much more.  

Can't remember if you bought milk?  Interior cameras allow you to see inside the fridge from your phone to better determine what you have and what you done.

LG InstaView ThinQ uses deep learning to add layers upon layers of convenience many years after your initial purchase.  Combine it with other ThinQ Appliances and your whole kitchen will be wired and accessible.

What to Look for in a Smart Refrigerator

Although Smart Refrigerators can be a nice luxury item, sometimes, your storage space is sacrificed in the name of technology. 

You need to take into consideration how many people are in your family and just how much storage space you might need.  Typically, a 25 cu. ft. interior is enough for a family of four.  But your needs may vary depending on how often you cook at home and what you cook at home.

Connectivity

Beyond connecting to your in-home WiFi, you'll also want to find out what the compatibility is with other Home Helper systems.  If you use Google Home versus the Amazon Echo ("Alexa"), you may want to make sure it's compatible with your particular preference.

Some, like Samsung, come with their own systems (Bixby).  Just be aware there are choices out there and your first choice may not be your best choice.

Design

A refrigerator with a giant screen may not necessarily be the best option for your highly designed kitchen space.  Some prefer more of a built-in refrigerator look rather than something that looks like it has it's own TV unit (as many Smart Refrigerators do).  So, be sure to take this into consideration when you look to purchase your Smart Refrigerator. 

Unnecessary Options

Consider whether a Smart Refrigerator is even the right choice for your family.  There are a number of cool features, but are they important enough for you to pay hundreds, sometimes thousands more. 

It's great that the refrigerator will keep track of your food inventory, but do you need a unit that screens your favorite movies on your refrigerator door? 

Just think through the options that each has to offer and whether or not it's something you need, or a feature that seems over the top.
