anakronosthis is not cool
Probably not cool because they're not plugged in
lachsYeah it doesn't seem to be running. It's just standing there.
Hi dad.
How efficient is it? For that price I would expect top values. But seeing those 2 doors (for whatever reason someone wants to waste space like that): I doubt it.
kenblu24how does two doors make it less space efficient
if anything, the freezer is more space efficient since there's no drawer to take up space
I think they mean power efficient
s_sMore doors = more gaskets = more seams = more heat loss
If it's meant for daily use, then all of the coldness will just fall out when a door is opened anyways. Drawer and chest freezers are advantageous in this respect. This is also why fridges have drawers. I'll bet you more doors has a negligible effect on energy efficiency...
as for long-term storage, this nerd has something to say about that
Chest Freezers; What they tell us about designing for X
What do you mean, "all the coldness will just fall out"? Do you mean the bit of cold air? That is only relevant when you"constantly" open the fridge, for 10 times per day or something that is less relevant. We can do the math if you want.
The split door reduces both spacial and thermal efficiency. Both because of the extra gap. I also don't see how it adds value compared to one big door, maybe you could explain the benefits?
Because people keep their fridges too long. They need to be able to remote brick them when they want you to buy a new one.
JayThe worst part is the silly over priced fridges you buy probably won't even last 10 years anymore. Sure they're more efficient, but if you have to replace it every 10-15 years, is it really worth it? I'd sooner have a slightly less efficient fridge that I know will last than one that can show me ads and look fancy.
Appliances these days are absolute junk. Nothing last more then like 7-10 years. My parents have a stainless steel kitchen aid fridge thats 20+ years old and works like a charm and a second shitty white fridge thats at least 15 years old by now. My aunt has gone through 2 samsung fridges in 10 years though
Ya I just went through all that bullshit last year. my old fridge (maybe 15yrs) crapped out and the repair guy told me flat out that they typically don't repair stuff like that anymore. Manufacturers make it intentionally difficult to obtain parts and even if you can get them, chances are they'll crap out before too long. I ended up getting a new Danby. I hope it proves me wrong but...
We had a KitchenAid fridge crap out and tried or damnedest to get it repaired. In the end, the repair tech said we could throw $1000 worth of parts at it and hope, or get a new fridge. This was our first matching set of appliances and my wife was not going back to slumming with an unmatched kitchen. Guess who had to spend 4K on a new fridge. We didn't even get a touchscreen. I don't expect this one to last either.
Sad thing is its not only refrigerators. Dishwashers, washers, and driers are all junk as well. My parents have had 2 dryers in the last 8 years and my aunt 3 in the last 10 with one of them being repaired like 10 times in 3 years because something was always breaking. Not sure if our family just has horrible luck with those things or if they really are just that crappy now
"buy fridge premium to open it without ads"
"More efficient"
- has french doors,
- has water dispenser,
- has two seperate frozen zones (ice and freezer)
- has main freezer on bottom
No way this thing is anywhere near efficent.
Yeah this is the epitome of inefficient lol
clonedhumanMeanwhile, my grandmother had a fridge from the 1960s that still worked fine when she replaced it in 2013.
Yikes! And $4000 is the sale price. It's $4800 regularly...
But don't you want to connect to your fridge via a smart app?!
A Chilean CyborgFk SmartHomes TBH, things shouldn´t be so complex just so you can be a tiny bit more lazy.
PetriThey don't even do anything - simple is better.
It's like that IQ meme:
- 70 IQ: zero smart home devices
- 100 IQ: smart fridge, smart watch, smart TV, smart light, smart toilet, smart potted plant...
- 130 IQ: zero smart home devices
That's a lot of money for a fancy box of cold.
I could see my daugther doing this
Leaving sociopolitical art on a fridge? Sounds like a fun person
OtakebYeah this screams GenZ
If you actually want a smart fridge then be aware that when the display breaks, they will charge you the price of a new fridge to replace it.
I would consider the broken display to be a feature tho.
Yeah I don't need to watch TV on my fridge, I just need it to cool shit
But can it run doom?
Yes. Yes it can. People port doom to smart fridges surprisingly often.
.....what does the display show even?

That sounds like you're paying to have ads in your own home.
Indeed! Just like a Netflix subscription!
micballin4700 before the sale? I wonder why they are having a hard time moving them.... /s
sinaI think the idea of a smart fridge is not necessarily a bad one. However charging $3600 extra for a screen and a couple of cameras is ridiculous.
lmao
Smart devices of all types are just the worst. Literally just piling anti-features onto something to justify putting a circuit board in a toaster.
