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.
“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
“buy fridge premium to open it without ads”
Meanwhile, my grandmother had a fridge from the 1960s that still worked fine when she replaced it in 2013.
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.
Agreed. It should say “costs”.
I’ll show myself out now.
it seems like it happens enough to be an acceptable alternate way of saying the cost of something; I see it a lot, including (in fact mostly) by native speakers
Languages evolve, or we’d all still be grunting the first sounds. “No, the other other rock. Damn, we should come up with more names for things!”
Protip: Avoid Samsung when buying appliances
Granted, this is just an anecdote, but I have several Samsung appliances; oven/stove, dishwasher, microwave, televisions, smart phone(okay, I guess those are technically an electronic), and I haven’t had any issues with them. They’ve served me well, even if I haven’t been the kindest to them.
I guess the point I’m trying to make is “your mileage may vary.”
Fk SmartHomes TBH, things shouldn´t be so complex just so you can be a tiny bit more lazy.
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.
Yikes! And $4000 is the sale price. It’s $4800 regularly…
That’s a lot of money for a fancy box of cold.
Probably not cool because they’re not plugged in
I could see my daughter doing this
Yeah this screams GenZ. I respect it.
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
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.
how 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
More doors = more gaskets = more seams = more heat loss = less energy efficent
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
