Smart fridges are a dime a dozen at CES, and LG<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> have thoroughly explored what’s possible when you connect your fridge to the internet or slap a touchscreen on the front. The new GE Profile Smart Refrigerator with Kitchen Assistant<\/a> GE is announcing ahead of CES 2026 doesn’t reinvent the wheel in that regard, but it does include a first: a built-in barcode scanner for adding items to your shopping list.<\/p>\n

GE’s “Scan-to-List” feature uses the barcode scanner to quickly (and precisely) add items to a shareable shopping list in GE’s SmartHQ app. You can refer to that list while you’re shopping in person, or sync it\u00a0 with Instacart and have it delivered, eliminating the need to go grocery shopping entirely. Inside the fridge, GE also includes a flush-mount LED bar with a built-in camera that can deliver “real-time, on-demand snapshots of crisper drawers, focusing on the most costly and perishable items.” This “FridgeFocus” feature is supposed to prevent you from overbuying perishable produce that you might already have, by letting you see which perishables might go bad first.<\/p>\n
