Trend 1: AI Powered Living – Your Smart Assistant

Artificial intelligence continues to dominate modern living, with manufacturers finding new ways to integrate AI into devices for an easier and smarter living experience.

TCL’s Ai Me: The AI Companion

TCL’s new Ai Me(pronounced “Amy”) AI companion robot was a showstopper. Designed to be more than just a gadget, this friendly robot adds a human touch to technology by helping you with a range of tasks. Ai Me can record memories, manage your smart home devices, and even provide home security. Its features extend to your car too, with in-vehicle integration for navigation and searches, making it a true companion wherever you go.

Robot Vacuums for the Future from Bosch and Eufy

Robot vacuums took a major leap forward, with a key innovation being Eufy’s RoboVac Omni S2. This new model solves the long-standing problem of cleaning multi-story homes. It pairs with a “Marswalker” rover that uses rugged wheels and advanced sensors to navigate between floors, climbing straight, L-shaped, and U-shaped staircases. This allows the Omni S2 to dock with the rover and move easily throughout the entire house.

Trend 2: Sustainability Around the Home

Energy efficiency and reduced consumption were key takeaways, particularly when it comes to laundry appliances. Major brands such as Bosch, TCL, and Haier are at the forefront of this movement, offering appliances designed to lessen environmental impact while maintaining a high level of performance.

Bosch’s Class A Energy Efficiency

Bosch’s Series 8 laundry line is redefining efficiency. The 11kg washing machine surpasses even the highest “A-class” rating by about 20%, partly due to its i-Dos with Detergent Scan feature, which precisely measures the amount of detergent needed. The matching heat-pump dryers also achieve Class A efficiency, reducing energy consumption by up to 78% when compared to conventional dryers.

Haier’s AI Camera Washing Machine

Haier’s new intelligent washing machine boasts nine sensors and an AI camera that recognises load types and offers personalised program recommendations, coordinating seamlessly with compatible Haier dryers.

Bosch’s Green Steel Dishwashers

Bosch is taking a major step towards sustainability with its Green Collection dishwashers, which are made with green steel. This unique material is produced using a process that replaces fossil fuels with renewable energy like hydrogen. As a result, the production releases significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This technology allows you to make an eco-friendly choice that supports climate protection, all while enjoying the premium performance Bosch is known for.
