I recently renovated my kitchen, and as a Home Editor who writes about appliances all day, I jumped at the opportunity to upgrade my ancient under-counter refrigerator and freezer for one of the best refrigerators with super-modern features. I opted for the Hisense KitchenFit Eclipse Series RB5K330GSFC. It's exclusive to Europe, but for U.S.-based readers, the Hisense HRB171N6ABE is a dead ringer with a lot of the same smarts. I opted for the KitchenFit line mostly because it's designed to slot seamlessly into fitted kitchens, and there's no denying that it looks great sitting between my sage green cabinets.
Looks aside, the Hisense makes a lot of big claims. I've written about smart fridge features such as humidity controls and app compatibility in the past, so I was interested to see if the claims were just jargon or genuine game-changers. But after three months of use, I'd recommend an app-controlled fridge to anyone.
