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

I’m going to be moving in the second half of this year, and I would love a home that’s clean, organized, and decorated with all of my favorite things. A spacious kitchen that allows for large gatherings is also a must!
My future home will have a kitchen full of organizational cabinets! No more pot tops or storage containers crashing to my feet!! It will have a 6 burner gas stove, and 2 full sized ovens! There must also be a magnificent refrigerator like the CoolVox Refrigerator in your blog…holy Jetsons!!!!
I would love to have a flat top indiction cookstove
I would love a kitchen thT had double ovens that work!!
I would love to have a ton of prep space with a hanging pot rack, plus a fridge with better temperature and humidity control!

the future of my kitchen is organized starting with a new refrigerator that is not a side by side, they are so difficult for holiday cooking & baking if using big pans & containers & being outdated doesn’t help for space either. what a grand giveaway, thanks so much & happy new year!
oh my goodness! this looks absolutely heavenly! my fridge could be an antique…hardly any room and half the food freezes while the other is barely cold! uggghhhh. my future kitchen would be all ipad/screen operated! i could have all different temperatures in the fridge…chill somethings, make others even colder…I would make it very sleek and sophisticated all with minimal effort for this working mama!
My future kitchen would be some what like the ironman layout. A screen in front of me where I can tell it what to do so I can see down and relax and have some wine and just enjoy the delicious smell coming from my ironman kitchen. LOL
where is my oven? I’ve been waiting on one that acts like a fridge until I turn it on- online, through my phone- however, a girl has to work and all… My boys have to EAT! I can roast a chicken WHILE I sit in the office.
I want a big, smart fridge!
well simply put I am a serious frequent cook and baker using 25 yr old appliances that came with my apartment. still cannot afford to replace them so use oven thermometers, and instant read ones and am often replacing bake sheets & pans.oven is super old and unreliable. dishwasher currently broken and fridge is moody.did treat myself to new coffee maker for Christmas.
My future kitchen would have a refrigerator with wide, deep shelves, and sections with varying degrees of coldness. A freezer on the bottom – also wide & deep for larger items.
A double oven, 6 burner gas stove, lots of cabinets, shelves and drawers. And a great desk.
I know, that’s a lot to wish for. But it is a dream!
My future kitchen would include a stove that has two ovens & wide enough for two large cookie sheets on one rack. Also a computer to look up recipes & suggest meals. The refrigerator would have racks to help air flow & moisture control vegetable bins. And, of course I would like both appliances to be self-cleaning.
