The kitchen remains a focal point in today’s new homes—and appliance manufacturers across the industry have taken note, offering new conveniences, features, and smart tech integration options for buyers. Here are a few of the newest products in store, from extra-wide ovens to pantry refrigerators and everything in between:
Plum
The Plum wine dispenser is now available as a built-in appliance, offering further options for kitchen integration for customers, builders, and designers. Like the countertop unit, it is designed to hold and dispense two standard-size bottles of wine. Once inserted, the onboard artificial intelligence scans the label to identify the varietal, chills each bottle to its individual ideal serving temperature, and preserves open bottles for up to 90 days. The unit is available in a black or stainless steel finish, fits in a standard 24-inch opening, and installs flush with the surrounding cabinetry. plum.wine
THOR
The new Professional Range Hood series is available in a choice of 30-, 36-, and 48-inch lengths, as well as heights of either 16 or 11.5 inches. The 48-inch unit features a commercial-style 430-grade stainless steel baffle filter and up to 1,200 CFM of suction power, designed to handle odors, smoke, and steam from multiple pans and burners at once. Users can shift between fan modes at the push of a button, and the fan’s noise tops out at 67 decibels for quiet operation. thorkitchen.com

The Smart Dial Front Load Washers and Dryers incorporate artificial intelligence to learn and recommend the user’s preferred cycles and settings, as well as adjust cycle times and detergent use depending on the clothing’s soil levels. The washer automatically dispenses the correct levels of detergent and softener based on the needs of the load, while the dryer uses automatic sensors to dry a load within 30 minutes. Homeowners can use the Samsung app to receive cycle notifications or to remotely start and monitor cycles. samsung.com
