In 2022, refrigerators are much more than a cooling unit for your food. As with many household appliances, the humble fridge has become more advanced, connected and feature-rich than ever before.
Broadly speaking, a smart fridge is defined by having Wi-Fi connectivity, but some products also boast smart home compatibility with other appliances, built-in hubs and screens, interior cameras and monitoring capabilities.
Here’s a look at some of the best smart fridges to enhance your kitchen in 2022.
