Overview
- Announced ahead of CES 2026, the GE Profile Smart 4‑Door French‑Door Refrigerator with Kitchen Assistant debuts a scanner that adds exact items to a shared list in the SmartHQ app.
- The 8‑inch door display and the “Hey, HQ” voice assistant let users add items, view recipes, set timers, and control features, with responses shown on screen rather than spoken.
- A crisper‑focused camera with a physical shutter provides app snapshots to check produce, and GE says AI object tracking is planned to improve food identification.
- Shopping lists can be used in store, exported as a PDF, or linked to Instacart for delivery, bringing the grocery workflow into GE’s SmartHQ ecosystem.
- The model ships in April 2026 at $4,899—about $500 more than similar GE fridges—and adds conveniences like precise auto‑fill water dispensing, while early coverage flags durability and update‑lifecycle concerns for the embedded tablet.
