    The only smart feature a fridge needs is a beeper for when the door has been left open or water filter needs changing. It sure as heck doesn’t need WiFi.

      But how else will you know you need to make an unnecessary purchase?!

      Mine is so “smart” that it doesn’t properly detect that it’s open with a cm or so gap. At least it beeped furiously when it detected that the freezer section had a dangerously high temperature half a day later.

      What it actually needs is a little motor to close itself. If it knows I left it open it should be capable to close itself instead of crying like a useless piece of junk.
