Super-Smart Fridge
The Luxury built-in refrigerator by Jenn-Air is outfitted with sensors that enable the appliance to determine the time of day when it's most likely to be opened, such as around dinner time. The refrigerator will then train itself not to start the defrost cycle during those times, instead defrosting when it is least likely to be opened such as late at night. As a result, food stays fresher longer.
