Looking for things that make our lives easier is top of mind for many of us – whether it is home automation to take care of the small and considerable things or purchasing robot vacuum cleaners that get on with the job without much assistance from us. The world is changing and this affects how we use our kitchens.

Smart appliances in the kitchen can be anything from the coffee machine that is connected to ensure you wake up to the perfect cuppa each morning to a fridge that notifies you when produce is about to go bad – and everything in between. We spoke to industry experts about some of the smart appliances making moments in the kitchen a breeze.

MIELE

With the innovative Miele@home system, you can exploit the full potential of your Miele appliances and make your everyday life even smarter. “All intelligent Miele domestic appliances can be networked conveniently and securely via a home Wi-Fi router and the Miele cloud. Operation is simple – whether through the Miele app, voice control or integration into existing smart home solutions,” explains Jon Molyneaux, brand activation manager at Miele. Connect your Miele oven, steam oven and coffee machine, among other appliances, and let your networked Miele appliances think for you. They intelligently communicate with each other, triggering the start of an appliance or regulating the power levels, all without your assistance.
