Samsung Family
Hub Refrigerator

Available this spring, the Family Hub refrigerator
comes with a Wi-Fi touchscreen that displays
notes, recipes, calendars, weather and more. It
will also stream music and videos, and a built-in
camera allows a user to peek inside without
opening the door. Because the Family Hub
refrigerator is integrated into Samsung’s
SmartThings platform, users can also manage it
through the SmartThings app.

Whirlpool Smart
Top Load Washer
and Dryer

This smart pair uses technology to power
philanthropy. Through the Connect to Care
program, families donate a small amount to
Habitat for Humanity with every load of laundry.
Through the mobile app, users can manage wash
and dry cycles while away from home. The
appliances also integrate with the Nest
thermostat, and the dryer can switch to the
energy-saving Eco Mode when the thermostat is
set to Away.
