GE Profile refrigerator: the smart center of the next generation kitchen

The GE Profile refrigerator redefines home appliances by becoming the smart hub of the kitchen. Four-door model with AI camera and Kitchen Assistant makes shopping, meal planning, and food waste easier.

The refrigerator is no longer just a place to store food, xrust states. The new GE Profile Smart French-Door with Kitchen Assistant™ was introduced ahead of CES 2026 and is already touted as one of the most technologically advanced kitchen appliances of next year.

The GE Profile Refrigerator as a Smart Assistant

The new development from GE Appliances redefines the role of the refrigerator in everyday life. 27.9 cubic feetwith four doors and built-in Wi-Fi, it turns into an active participant in the family’s daily life — from shopping to planning dinners.

With a high pace of life, users are increasingly faced with “choice fatigue”: what to buy, what to cook and what is already at home. GE Profile solves this problem by integrating AI algorithms and automating routine processes.

Smart Scan-to-List shopping list

Patented Scan-to-List technology is built directly into the external dispenser and eliminates the need to manually maintain lists.

• recognizes more than 4 million products by barcode;
• automatically adds brand, flavor and volume of product;
• synchronizes with the application SmartHQ™;
• Supports sharing for the whole family;
• Integrates with Instacart for delivery in 30 minutes.

Items without a barcode can be added by voice or text — both on the refrigerator screen and in the mobile app.

Expert commentary from GE Appliances

According to Jason May, executive director of products at GE Appliances:

“We're transforming the refrigerator from a passive device into an adaptive companion that grows with your family and relieves the stress of shopping and meal planning.”

The Refrigerator and Reducing Food Waste

One of the key features was the FridgeFocus™ system, aimed at saving products and budget.

• built-in camera in the LED panel;
• online access to the contents of vegetable boxes;
• AI-based computer vision;
• checking stocks directly from the store;
• the ability to completely turn off the camera.

This approach reduces the risk of repeat purchases and spoilage of perishable products — a problem that is relevant for most households.

The functionality of the model goes far beyond food storage.

• 8-inch touch screen with weather and personalization;
• Recipe integration — more than 50 new dishes monthly from partners, including Taste of Home;
• Voice control for lists and calculations;
• Automatic water refill without hands;
• Accurate dosing of water for any container.
