Kitchen appliances: Sharp Smart Oven
That very oven we’ve just mentioned is from Sharp and also comes with an integrated cooing app. Called Innit, the app adapts recipes for individual tastes. It also comes up with recommendations for those days when you just can’t be bothered to think what to cook – or even check what’s in your kitchen cabinets. Other highlights include a digital meat probe so you don’t have to waste the look of your roast by sticking a fork in it prior to presenting it to the table.
Hoover wine coolers
The wine coolers we spoke about in our introduction are from Hoover. The HWCB60 is capable of storing up to 46 bottles, has adjustable wooden shelving and an LED display. There is also adjustable temperatures so that bottles can be kept chilled while others remain at room temperature. Genius!

LG’s oven with air fryer
If you can get an oven to steam then why not air fry? At least that’s the thinking behind GQs integrated InstaView ThinQ Range. They use hot vapourised water to increase food temperature and supply an app with recipes which can all be used for the air fry settings.

Let’s face it, if you’re going to eat chips then they might as well be as healthy as possible…

According to its manufacturers Juno uses the latest IT known as thermoelectric cooling. As well as cooling down hot drinks, it can chill a bottle of beer in under one minute and get a bottle of white wine down to 50 degrees in just three minutes.
Miele’s ‘talking’ washer and dryer
Miele’s Wash2Dry function allows the washer and dryer to communicate with each other via wifi. What that means for the householder is that the dryer learns when the wash is ended and sets up the correct drying programme for the clothes. The QuickPowerWash system ensures a wash is completed within 49 minutes, while their AddLoad function allows the owner to pop in any item of clothing while the wash is ongoing. It’s washing – but not as we’ve previously known it…
Neff’s Pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens
Who doesn’t love a self-cleaning oven? These work by heating the oven to 500 degrees celcius and, at the same time, removing all the oxygen from the inside the oven. Being so high, the temperature burns the grease inside, reducing it to a pile of ash which can then easily be wiped away. The whole process takes around just 90 minutes.
