Agreed. It should say "costs".
I'll show myself out now.

The 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...

"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.
Those things make it more inefficient?
Having the main freezer on the bottom is insanely inefficient. Hot air rises, and cold air falls. When a freezer is on the top, all of the cold air is generated in that freezer, and then it falls through a channel into the main refrigeration area. It keeps both compartments cold using just one system.
Freezer on the bottom requires either a separate cooling system for the main fridge, or a series of fans that constantly draw cold air upwards, wasting electricity in the process.
Yeah this is the epitome of inefficient lol
Meanwhile, my grandmother had a fridge from the 1960s that still worked fine when she replaced it in 2013.
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.
Fk SmartHomes TBH, things shouldn´t be so complex just so you can be a tiny bit more lazy.
They don't even do anything - simple is better.
Yikes! And $4000 is the sale price. It's $4800 regularly...
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.
Certain things don't need a computer screen in them. Refrigerators are one, sewing machines are another.

Yeah I don't need to watch TV on my fridge, I just need it to cool shit
.....what does the display show even?
What's in your fridge, as well helpful reminders to Shop™ Now™ to keep your Fridge SaaS™ running smoothly
That sounds like you're paying to have ads in your own home.
Indeed! Just like a Netflix subscription!
I could see my daughter doing this
Yeah this screams GenZ. I respect it.

But don't you want to connect to your fridge via a smart app?!
Probably not cool because they're not plugged in
That "white board" on the fridge is an "app" that comes with it as a feature. Someone just used it to draw the surprised Pikachu face.
It's turned on, but you're most likely right that it's not cool because I bet they have the temperature dialed up all the way.
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.
So hot
4700 before the sale? I wonder why they are having a hard time moving them.... /s
