The Whirlpool Duet Diamond Steel Smart Front Load Steam Washer is a washing machine with one unique difference. It has the Whirlpool 6th Sense Live system built into it, meaning it is connected to the internet and can send you a message when the washing is done or if it detects a problem. It can also keep track of the level of detergent to prevent you from running out.
2Touchless Trashcan® MX
Ever get tired of opening the bin to throw away your rubbish? With this bin you don’t have to as it uses sensors to detect when you are approaching and opens automatically, providing a more hygienic – and very cool – option.
3The Quooker Tap
You have plenty of choice when it comes to purchasing kitchen taps, but if you want something more flash then this excellent tap produces boiling water direct from the tap so you don’t have to bother filling the kettle.
4Dacor Discovery IQ Wall Oven
This wall oven from Dacor is no ordinary oven. Using the Discovery IQ Controller, it is connected to the internet by Wi-Fi and runs on the Android platform. The 7” LCD panel provides stereo sound and graphics, and it even has a pre-programmed guide for meals.
5Taylor Digital Measuring Cup and Scale
This looks like a standard measuring jug but actually has a digital display on the handle to provide more accurate readings. Even better, it can perform conversions from weight to volume.
6Belkin WeMo Switch
The Belkin WeMo Switch has been around for a while, but if you want to improve your kitchen then this is a great option. You can use it to wirelessly control your electronic devices in the kitchen using a smartphone, making everything that much more convenient.
7Samsung Smart Fridge
Fridges just keep on getting smarter, and now Samsung has come up with a Wi-Fi connected fridge complete with a touchscreen on which you can use various apps to surf the web, look for recipes, check the weather and check your social media accounts.
8The Milkmaid
The Milkmaid is a ‘smart jug’ that consists of a glass jug that can monitor your milk and let you know when the milk has gone off. It plugs into its own base in the fridge, and it also informs you of how many cups of milk you have remaining. It has not actually gone into production yet, but hopefully it will go beyond the concept stage in the near future.
9Smart Dishwasher
The Whirlpool Gold 24” Monochromatic Stainless Steel Smart Built-In Dishwasher is the second entry from Whirlpool on the list, and this time it comes in the form of a dishwasher. Again it is fitted with the Whirlpool 6th Sense system, so you can receive alerts about washing cycles and when you are running low on cleaner amongst other things.
10Auto-Stirring Microwave Bowl
The Prepology Microwave Food Warmer with Auto Stir Technology may not be the most hi-tech item on the list, but it is certainly one of the most useful. This auto-stirring microwave bowl solves the problem of cooking food in the microwave only to find that it has not heated up evenly, making sure that your food comes out hot throughout.
