If you\u2019re like us, you\u2019re probably wondering what Samsung products are they actually adding to their carts. And, among those, what are the smart home products that they love the most?<\/p>\n<p>For the newest installment of our \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/tag\/living-my-best-life-with-samsung\/\">Living My Best Life<\/a>: The Smart Home Edition\u201d series, we sat down with Roger Quesada, Digital Appliance Product Marketing for Samsung.com and PRIDE employee resource group (ERG) national events leader. Roger and his partner are currently in the midst of a remarkable journey, revitalizing their 120-year-old home into a marvel of modern technology. Embracing timeless elegance and infusing it with 21st-century innovation, they envision their home as a reflection of their lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n<p>Integral to this vision is the seamless integration of technology into every facet of their home design. Roger has fully embraced the concept of a connected home \u2013 complete with <strong>smart appliances<\/strong> like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/home-appliances\/microwaves\/countertop\/mc12j8035ct-1-2-cu-ft-counter-top-convection-microwave-with-power-convection-powergrill-duo-black-mc12j8035ct-aa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Samsung PowerGrill Duo\u2122 Countertop Microwave<\/strong><\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/home-appliances\/washers\/bespoke\/bespoke-ultra-capacity-front-load-washer-and-electric-dryer-in-forest-green-bndl-1665611426611\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Samsung Bespoke Ultra Capacity Front Load Washer and Electric Dryer<\/strong><\/a>;<strong> smart entertainment <\/strong>like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/televisions-home-theater\/tvs\/4k-laser-projectors\/120-the-premiere-4k-uhd-hdr-smart-tv-2020-sp-lsp7tfaxza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Premiere 4K Smart Laser Projector<\/strong><\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/televisions-home-theater\/tvs\/samsung-neo-qled-8k\/65-class-qn900c-samsung-neo-qled-8k-smart-tv-2023-qn65qn900cfxza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>65\u201d <\/strong><strong>Class Samsung Neo QLED 8K television<\/strong><\/a>, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/televisions-home-theater\/home-theater\/sound-bars\/q-series-7-1-2-ch-wireless-dolby-atmos-soundbar-w-q-symphony-hw-q900c-2023-hw-q900c-za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Q-series Soundbar<\/strong><\/a>; and <strong>smart<\/strong> <strong>lighting systems<\/strong> \u2013 all controllable via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/apps\/smartthings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SmartThings app<\/strong><\/a> on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/smartphones\/galaxy-z-flip4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Samsung<\/strong> <strong>Galaxy Z Flip4 smartphone<\/strong><\/a>.

(No, really, the beverage center and icemaker are absolute game-changers!)<\/p>\n<p>This smart home tech integration doesn\u2019t just add convenience; it enhances their quality of life. As Roger aptly puts it, \u201cYour time is the most important thing in your life. It has the most value.
