A smart connected refrigerator can tell you when its door has been left open or if you’re running out of milk, but are these conveniences worth the premium?
In my opinion, yes. Imagine if your refrigerator could tell you if its door has been left open, or it’s running out of ice? What if you could ask it, while you’re at the grocery store if you need to get more eggs or milk? Those are some of the features available with “smart” refrigerators that are connected to your smartphone via the internet.
What Is a Smart Refrigerator
A smart refrigerator is a major appliance, a refrigerator, that’s connected to the cloud. Depending on the features built into each fridge, you’ll be enabled to do things such as using your smartphone to see what’s inside, send and recipe notes, add dinner entries to online digital organizers all on your fridge’s front panel door screen.
Who Makes Smart Refrigerators
Currently, several manufacturers make smart refrigerators. My suggested model? The All-New Bosch Counter-Depth refrigerators. Their state-of-the-line features, including the revolutionary FarmFresh System™ that combines four innovative technologies to keep your food fresh up to 3x longer, for less food wasted,* make this unit a must-have for any new seasonal kitchen upgrades.
Other features include:
- VitaFreshPro™ offers preset settings that automatically balance BOTH temperature and humidity
- FreshProtect™absorbs naturally occurring ethylene to slow ripening, so produce stays fresher, longer.
- MultiAirFlow™ evenly circulates cool, fresh air to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the entire fridge cavity, from the door bins to back corners.
- AirFresh® Filter absorbs even the toughest food odors, keeping your refrigerator and freezer air fresh.
*As compared to a Bosch refrigerator without FarmFresh System™. Results may vary among different foods.
Busy families will quickly appreciate the FreshProtect™ features. As they can reduce the number of groceries runs you need to make each week in order to stock up on fruit and necessary produce. Especially organics. As we all know how quickly they expire if left unprocessed or attended when ripening. For larger families, you’ll have the added benefit of 21 cubic foot capacity and a three-tier layered freezer drawer system and three wide gallon door bins. Perfect for fall freezer prep sessions at home!
Other necessary upgrades include the FlexBar™, removable shelves, and door bins, and sleek, internal stainless steel back wall, that provide the All-New Bosch Counter-Depth refrigerators eye-catching, lasting durability. These units, built-to-last with three wide gallon door bins easily accommodate two large side-by-side gallon containers, ingenious three-tier layered freezer drawer system creates extra storage for frozen items, from pizza boxes to frozen waffles, and full-width chiller drawers. Perfect for storing oversized platters with ease until you’re ready to serve them, or store snacks for quick access and easy visibility game day all season long.
In terms of aesthetics, this Bosch Counter-Depth refrigerator is simple, classy, with a minimalist design. Perfect for slower living homes and modern eclectic homes, too. Its as pleasing to the eye as it is tech-savvy. With it’s with the touch-sensitive controls and the Home Connect™ featuring The Home Connect™ app, that allows you to remotely monitor and control your Bosch refrigerator from your smartphone or tablet. To control the temperature, adjust lighting, run diagnostics—wherever you are,** for ultimate convenience. Connected refrigerators from Bosch are designed to provide modern homeowners and home chefs alike with the peace of mind, customization, and simplification you’ve come to expect from Bosch.
Connectivity and speed varies based on network and Wi-Fi levels.
Another not-to-be-missed feature of the Bosch Counter-Depth refrigerators is the Bosch UltraClarityPro™ water filter that reduces >99.9% of sediments that may be found in your water. (Including harsh elements like chlorine and chloramine.)
