Innovations in refrigerators in 2016

2016 Refrigerator Innovation

Keep an eye on new technologies in home appliances and don’t want to miss anything? Then you have come to the right place. In 2016, most of the leading refrigerator manufacturers introduced models with various technical innovations. We offer you an overview of the new products that you can buy right now, and those that will reach the Russian market in the coming months.

Bosch Refrigerators

Active Climate Control

It is used in Bosch Series 8 refrigerators. In special VitaFresh zones, the storage temperature of meat, fish and milk can be set in the range from -1 to +3 degrees. There are three gradations of humidity level - it is possible to create the necessary conditions for vegetables and fruits. Tightly (almost hermetically) sealed containers eliminate the mixing of odors. Interested for sure:

New LED lighting concept

Series 6 and 8 refrigerators have received a new LED lighting concept. Specially placed lamps provide maximum visibility of the entire space of the refrigerator.

Samsung Refrigerators

Space Max Technology

Implemented in the RB series. The increase in the internal space of the refrigerator due to the fact that the walls have become thinner. The technology allows to increase the usable area up to 40%. At the same time, as the developers assure, the strength of the structure has not been affected, and the heat insulator layer eliminates damage to energy efficiency.

FlexZone Drawer

This is a component of technology that allows you to maximize the useful volume of working chambers. FlexZone is the most convenient among similar devices on the Russian market. The box, in addition to its ergonomic and compact shape, has a special Smart Divider divider, which is convenient for storing different types of products, including those in large packages.

Ice Master Ice Maker

Another device that frees up extra space in Samsung refrigerators. Ice Master is almost 5 centimeters narrower than similar devices in previous models of the South Korean corporation. Thanks to this, there is now more space for storing tall packages and bottles. There is no need to worry about the lack of ice: Ice Master allows you to cook more than three kilograms a day.

Water carbonation function

This is the first Samsung refrigerator model that has a carbon dioxide saturation function. All thanks to the built-in dispenser. Not everyone needs such an innovation, but as a nice addition it is very nice.

Door-“tablet”

Samsung presented a bold and unusual technology at CES-2016, receiving the award for the best innovative product. The Family Hub Refrigerator is a refrigerator, tablet and entertainment center at the same time. It is equipped with a 21.5-inch Full HD touch screen! With the help of a mega tablet, you can leave reminder notes, post photos, and make shopping lists.

The last function is implemented as a remote informant: with the help of three built-in cameras, the refrigerator is taken after the doors are closed, and the pictures are sent to your smartphone. Also, with the help of a miracle door, you can simply order products remotely. In addition, the functions of a smart TV and Internet radio are implemented here, and culinary recipes are displayed on the door in standby mode. This innovative refrigerator has not yet reached the Russian market.

Siemens refrigerators

Home Connect System

The innovative iQ500 model has a smartphone connection system. You no longer need to make a shopping list - the refrigerator will “remind” you of the missing products through the appropriate application. Two 5-megapixel cameras are located in the compartment and on the refrigerator door. When the door closes, they automatically take photos that are immediately uploaded to Home Connect. You see what is missing - and go to the store.

LG Refrigerators

LG Refrigerators

Inverter linear compressor

An interesting innovative solution, thanks to which the friction in the “chassis” of the compressor motor is significantly reduced. This allows for a 32% reduction in energy consumption and a 25% reduction in noise levels.

SMART DIAGNOSIS System

A very convenient way to explain to the service what happened to your refrigerator. Now there is no need to forcefully imitate the buzz emitted by the compressor or “on the fingers” to explain that something clicks somewhere. Just call LG service and bring your smartphone to the refrigerator. The devices will exchange information, and the operator will have complete data on the state of the systems and mechanisms of your kitchen unit. In a few seconds you will be told what to do.

Hygiene Fresh filter+

LG’s newly introduced five-layer filter has a unique UV photocatalytic mechanism that improves refrigerator air quality through an innovative antibacterial treatment. Harmful bacteria, according to the manufacturer, are destroyed by 99.99%.

Transparent door with automatic opening

Another hit at CES 2016 is the Signature Series. Now, to see the contents of the refrigerator, you do not need to open it at all. You can knock and the glass door will become transparent. In addition, motion sensors are built into the front panel: if someone approaches the refrigerator, the door opens by itself. It is very convenient if you come from the store with bags or cook food, and you are too lazy to wash your hands.

Liebherr refrigerators

SmartDevice Technology

It connects the BluPerformance series refrigerators to the secure network communication of the Smart Home system on the MyLiebherr portal. The user has the opportunity at any time from anywhere to request the status of the device, as well as quickly reconfigure it, if necessary, in real time.

Front ventilation

Another technology from the same BluPerformance series. For these models, the cooling system is compactly integrated into the instrument housing. Now there is no condenser on the back wall of the refrigerator, which means that its usable area has increased. At the same time, the BluPerformance series devices are very economical. Two refrigeration circuits

Premium Liebherr

Liebherr’s new premium refrigerators use the DuoCooling system with two independent refrigeration circuits. It allows you to precisely control the temperature separately in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Due to this, there is no air exchange between these compartments: odors do not spread, there is no wrapping or shrinkage of products. Two displays

Display

Premium series refrigerators use a 7-inch 800 x 600 pixel touch screen display built into the door. It allows you to customize the device for individual characteristics. There are several preset modes: “Energy Saving”, “Maximum Performance”, “Party”, “Vacation” and others. You can also set separate settings for each zone of the refrigerator. Recommendations on the shelf life of products, as well as on the vitamins and minerals contained in them, are built into the memory of the models.

The high-resolution 2.4-inch display built into the control panel behind the door is located high, but has a high contrast, so it is easy to use. Long-term settings are made here.
