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

ok well, a girl can dream, right??
We currently own a condo that we can’t wait to move out of. Our future home will have a kitchen that is the heart of the home. It will have beautiful functional appliances, white cabinets and a lovely tile backslash. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
An outside kitchen oh maybe somewhere like Fiji!!

I’d love to finish off our entry way closet so we have a ton of storage inside. It holds all of our winter gear & shoes!
Wow! Unbelievable to have a cooktop and internet all in one. How does it protect itself from food splashes? Would love a new fridge – ours is out of a sitcom where you open door and all spills out! And I love color, no white countertops! Fingers crossed!
I like the size of my kitchen as well as the layout. I just wish that the cabinets, countertops and appliances were updated.
My kitchen could be more organized for all my kitchen tools. The CoolVox refrigerator is the only thing missing in my kitchen!

My ideal kitchen would have more cupboard space, a much nicer microwave, new oven and a refrigerator that actually had enough room to store more than two cartons of milk!
Wow, that interactive cooktop is truly amazing. Thanks for a great giveway!!
Tweet, tweet!

I would love an electric double oven!
My kitchen is fairly functional. The laundry looks dreamy.
In my future kitchen I would love a gas range and an electric (double?) oven. I’d love a large refrigerator that has the perfect temperatures throughout for my various ingredients. I’d love a smart microwave that is actually smart enough to know how long and on what setting to cook foods. and the music in the fridge idea is pretty awesome too.
I would like my house to have those ports to vacuum from every room and a fridge in the basement for sodas!
