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!
Create your perfect Duet® Design and enter for a chance to win a new Duet® Washer and Dryer!
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. 
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 https://ces.whirlpool.com

We are in our first home, and trying to affordably transform it into the house we would love to live in. In my kitchen, I would love to eventually knock down the wall that connects it to the small dining room, making it more like an eat-in large kitchen. We have very tall ceilings, and I would love to play with some recessed lights to really showcase how big the room would be! :) New appliances would also be wonderful, considering that the dishwasher was installed before my husband was even born (and floods the kitchen if we use it!).
I’m going to be Face booking about this for BlogHer! I think it’s all very exciting. New kitchen products are the best. I would love an easy to clean oven in the future. My oven is kinda a disaster zone.
My dream kitchen is “an open air concept”. I love the idea of being able to see guests while I am cooking. Our little kitchen is not the best for guests now, so I cannot wait to have a much bigger space one day:)
love the speaker idea on the refrigerator and sleek look of the washer and dryer. I like that Whirlpool is adding technology to their products. It will only make it more fun to use and a wow for parents and their kids. My dream kitchen would be one of space and function. As a single mom of 3 kids, it would be great to have enough space and great equipment to get the cooking done. My kids love to cool. With more technology in the kitchen, I am sure they would love it even more.
i tweeted and wow what a New Years giveaway. Happy new years to you. Here is the link Alison Lewis @alisonlewis

I want a double oven and a fridge with a freezer drawer!
I want my house to be like 80% kitchen and bathroom.
Would love it if my oven could keep a dish cold and then start cooking at programmed time
I would love an oven with sensors that detect when food is done to my liking

My dream kitchen will be wide and open with lots of nooks for easy organization of pots, pans and ingredients. It will be equipped with energy efficient appliances that minimize my footprint on the world.
We’re moving into a new home in February and I’d love a new fridge – these are beautiful! Thanks Averie!
Would love a double oven, we have a large family and it’s hard to get dinner going!
I would simply love to have a double oven so that during holidays your ovens can multitask.
Tweeted as well! :)
It’s amazing how far technology has come these days!! That cooktop sounds especially incredible!
I think for my dream kitchen I would want a fridge that basically had a computer touch-screen for most of the freezer door – pull up recipes, control music, watch TV while baking, go on social media, make face-time calls, etc. And an easy-clean surface, smudge-free of course ;)
