A new year often brings a renewed focus on healthy eating, spending more time with family members and other care-focused resolutions, which is why Whirlpool brand today announced its smart appliances are getting enhanced connected upgrades over time, beginning with a brand new Air Fry Mode, that will enable consumers to care for their families in new and innovative ways.
Since 2018, Whirlpool brand has been creating smart home appliances that make providing care in the kitchen and laundry room easier for its consumers, whether that is being able to preheat the oven from the soccer field or getting an alert on their phone when it’s time to switch the laundry to the dryer.* Building on these innovative offerings, the brand is introducing new smart appliance features that enable consumers to get more out of their smart kitchen appliances with connected updates such as new oven cycles and connectivity with popular kitchen gadgets.
“Whirlpool brand is committed to creating new solutions that help customers manage evolving needs and preferences,” said Katie Sadler, kitchen brand manager, Whirlpool. “That’s why we’re excited to introduce new Air Fry Mode and Yummly® Smart Thermometer connectivity oven features, proving our appliances, just like our consumers, get smarter over time. With these upgrades, we hope to provide families with even more ways to provide care for one another.”
Whirlpool customers can easily embrace new cooking methods and changing preferences with instant over-the-air upgrades to their connected smart appliances. The first of Whirlpool brand’s Smarter Over Time feature upgrades include a new Air Fry mode, available on select models, and connectivity with the Yummly® Smart Thermometer.**
