Last week the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was held in Las Vegas and it’s the largest show of the year.
Whirlpool was at CES and revealed some new, exciting appliances. They design products that fit seamlessly into your life and focus on three pillars: Connection, Expression, and Innovation. Check out my pre-show sneak peak post for more.
There are great videos of all the products at the Whirlpool CES Hub. Watch the videos and see these state-of-the-art appliances in action.
They revealed 4 key new appliances at the show:
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.
Whirlpool’s can.
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 – Goodbye boring laundry room. Give your laundry a style makeover with the new Duet® Designer Series from Whirlpool® .
Let 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.
3. CoolVox Refrigerator – Meet the fridge of the future, the new CoolVox™, musically powered by Harman Kardon. This one can. There’s a great video about it here
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.
4. MaxArt Microwave – Here’s a video about the new microwaves. 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.
This is my final Whirlpool post and what has impressed me most about them is how focused they are on the consumer and believe in a future focused on you.
Their appliances are designed with you in mind and they really want to make your life easier, more streamlined, and efficient. I really appreciate it when a company thinks in this way!

A fridge and pantry that knows what it contains would make grocery shopping and menu planning super easy!
It would be amazing if there could be a smart stove that can measure the temperature of the food your cooking and automatically adjust it to the temperature you want! Kinda like you plug in the desired temperature and it automatically brings the food to that temperature without you having to do it manually which would be really convenient when needing a specific temperature for milk/chocolate/etc when baking!

I would love for my whirlpool fridge to have a locking mechanism to keep the little ones out ;)
this is amazing– how i dream of having a washer and dryer inside my apartment! :)
My dream appliance is a washer/dryer unit that also folds. I can get through the washing and the drying, but the folding and putting away is a whole different story!
My future dream for my home would be something that I can interact with and would easily and effectively aid to the style and sleekness of my home. A stove top that I can use at the time time follow my favorite food blog recipe. A refrigerator that could change temperature based on the foods I put in there and then keep track of what I have available and expiration dates. A microwave that can sense how long or short of time it needs to defrost or cook something…all awhile entertaining me and being pleasing to the eye.

The future for my home = new kitchen! Mine is stuck in the 1950s complete with peeling countertops!
Right now, my idea for the future of my home is quite simple: a new OTR microwave to replace the one that died last week.
I would like a fridge to remind me when something is going to go bad soon!!
I would love a fridge that keeps track of what I have and automatically creates a grocery list as I run out of items.
I love and follow you!
I would love a new dishwasher. That would be perfect or a new stove!
I’d love a future kitchen with a fridge that catalogs what’s inside and how old it is, and sends you mobile alerts when you’re running low or about to hit an expiration date. It would also have real-time data on the go so you could access the list from your phone when you’re at the grocery store (or at work and about to head to the store afterward) and get hit with inspiration to make a new dish. Do I have 6 eggs? Are they still good? What about strawberry jam?
Although I’ll admit to being an organization freak, so I’d be one of those people keeping a strict catalog of what’s on hand. ;)
