Candy launches first smart fridge freezer

Candy, the domestic appliance specialist, has launched its first fridge freezer to feature innovative smart food management technology.

The appliance, which uses WiFi connectivity to manage expiry dates on food inside the fridge, sends notifications to the Candy Simply-Fi app in order to let users know when food is about to expire.

“With so much technology at our fingertips, we’ve made sure that buyers can get added value from their purchase by using its connected capabilities.”
