One day I’d like to be a homeowner in San Diego. I’ve owned many homes over the years in various states, but right now I’m a renter. San Diego and most of California is a tough place to save enough for a down payment, but I’m trying.

As I daydream about the kind of house I’d like to own, the kind of appliances I’d like to put into said home are of great importance.

Whirlpool is unveiling four new products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas January 7-10. They design products that fit seamlessly into life and focus three pillars: Connection, Expression, and Innovation.

The Four New Products

1. Interactive Cooktop – When your cooktop can browse the internet and connect with your social network, the kitchen becomes a hub of communication and exploration within the home and beyond. Entertaining is revolutionized when you can plan your dinner party on the same device that cooks the meal. Invite and monitor your guest list, search for recipes, and make phone calls without leaving your kitchen island or using multiple devices. For now, this is a concept-only product.

2. Designer Duets – Bye, bye boring laundry room. The new Duet® Designer Series from Whirlpool® let’s your personal style shine with a collection of bold and beautiful designs to complement every look. Up your design aesthetic with a laundry pair that’s as fashionable as you with frontloading washers and dryers come in a variety of colors. Nobody helps you get laundry done faster than Whirlpool so you can focus on the things that matter.

Throughout the week of CES, consumers will have the chance to win a custom laundry pair of their own with the You Be The Designer Sweepstakes!

3. CoolVox Refrigerator – With the new CoolVox™ sound system refrigerator concept, enabled by Bluetooth® wireless technology and the impeccable sound of Harman Kardon Speakers, you can play music and podcasts through the refrigerator directly from streaming through Bluetooth®-enabled devices, such as your mp3 player, tablet, or computer. There’s no need for extra wires, cords or speakers because this is all housed within the refrigerator. Whirlpool refrigerator 4. MaxArt Microwave – In a unique showing of how design, art, and appliances can come together to create a functional piece of work representative of culture, Whirlpool® collaborated with two artists in Mexico to turn a daily-used appliance into an object of desire. Local art collective Los Contratistas turned a set of 50 Whirlpool microwaves into a colorful, modular installation representative of Mexican culture using graffiti techniques. The final pieces work together to create a unique take on the modern day appliance, enriched by culture, design and the arts. For now, this is a concept-only product. Whirlpool® 20/20 also brings its future-focused inspiration to consumers not attending the show with ongoing updates from the show floor at their digital hub http://ces.whirlpool.com

  1. I’d love to have talking cookbooks that you can give oral commands to, like “wait” (while you measure an ingredient). Thanks for the giveaway!

  2. I see a future where my husband could actually figure out that the dishwasher needed to be unloaded. And since THAT is totally out of the realm of reality….how about a freezer I could contact that would get something out so I could cook it when I get home?

  3. In a dream world, I’d have a dishwasher that had magic scrubs so I’d never have to let another pan soak in the sink for hours!

  4. It’s my dream to one day have a kitchen that will prepare everything for me and then wash dishes afterwards. It’d be so nice to walk in at 5pm to dinner cooking on its own!

  5. I would Love to have kitchen appliances with a generator or battery backup so I would never lose perishables

  6. For the future of my home, I would love to refit my kitchen and laundry room with energy efficient appliances.

  7. I would like energy efficient appliances and lights in my house.
    I would also like heated floors in every room in our house.

  8. An interactive stove top would be a fun thing to have. Also a digital pad on the refrigerator would be something fun to think about. You can add grocery list as you check things out on the fridge.

  9. The interactive cooktop would be most beneficial to my home. Like an open design for the heart of my home.

  10. My future house will have a fridge and stove connected to the internet so I can have it do all the cooking when I punch it into phone. But I do LOVE the CoolVox Refrigerator and would love one of these. We buy nothing other than Whirlpool products.
