Is it worth it?
The SAMSUNG RF65A977FB1/EU, smart refrigerator is an ideal choice for a dynamic, technology-oriented family. Its expansive touch screen offers more than just novelty, providing practical functionality. However, we have reservations about its long-term upgrade potential and support. If your household already embraces Samsung products, this refrigerator seamlessly integrates into your existing ecosystem. For those seeking a smart display and voice assistant without adding clutter to the countertop, Bixby performs well, and the substantial screen sets it apart. Nevertheless, if your home is already equipped with Alexa or Google devices, and you have a network of smart speakers and screens, upgrading may be unnecessary.
