Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Sharp '4LifeHub' Smart Refrigerator Features Interior Cameras

— September 8, 2016 — Tech
To help deter household inhabitants from opening the fridge door to see what's available, the Sharp '4LifeHub' smart refrigerator is outfitted with cameras to display the interior digitally on the front control panel. The 21-inch display shows what's inside along with a number of other features that make it an exceptionally smart and connected appliance.

The Sharp '4LifeHub' fridge features a French door-style design and is outfitted with AdaptiZone cooling, which enables freezer space to operate as extra fridge space, if needed. The NutriFresh technology is purported to help greens keep 60% of their moisture to keep them fresh and crisp longer than ever.

The Sharp '4LifeHub' smart refrigerator is set to debut in early 2017 in the European market with pricing not yet announced.
