These High-Tech Refrigerators Are Expensive, But Worth The Price

The GE Profile Smart Fingerprint Resistant 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator is a spacious, 27.9 cubic-foot unit with two temperature-controlled bottom drawers, and removable bins and dividers to make even more room for larger items. According to a review from Good Housekeeping, the fridge’s customizable space and door-in-door feature are highly praised. The door-in-door feature allows you to quickly access items from the door without opening the entire fridge. 

However, what really sets this refrigerator apart are its smart features. The GE Profile Smart Fingerprint Resistant 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, and can be integrated with IFTTT (If This, Then That) home automation. This means you can create custom routines, such as turning on your kitchen lights when the refrigerator doors are opened.

The refrigerator even has a smart water dispenser that can sense your glass and automatically fill it without overflowing, allowing you to multitask. While the French-door design is functional, Good Housekeeping notes that the overall design of the unit is fairly conventional. It lacks a touchscreen display, making it appear less high-tech than it actually is. This might lead some to question whether its high cost is justified compared to other similarly-priced options. 

The GE Profile Smart Fingerprint Resistant 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator has a list price of $4,199. However, it is currently available on Amazon for $2,777 and on Home Depot for $3,198.

4 Must-Have Ryobi Accessories for Storm Preparedness

During a power outage caused by a storm or other factors, the refrigerator becomes a major concern. It contains perishable food that could go bad if the power doesn’t come back soon. For elderly individuals, it is also important to store vital medications properly. If you don’t have a mini-fridge and a generator, you may lose everything in your refrigerator. Fortunately, Ryobi offers a convenient solution that combines a mini-fridge and a generator in one product.

Ryobi’s Hybrid Power Cooler is primarily designed for camping and events like tailgating, but it also serves as an excellent emergency food storage solution. It features a smart digital display that allows you to manually cool the 24-quart interior to temperatures ranging from -4 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. This is more than enough to keep your fridge essentials cool. The cooler can operate continuously for up to 35 hours using a pair of 8Ah 18V battery packs, which provides ample time for the storm to pass and for you to find alternative cooling options or consume the perishable items in the cooler.
