At IFA 2026, Gorenje and Hisense showcased a bold mix of AI-driven smart kitchen tech and lifestyle appliances, highlighting 360-degree cooking, AI baking, and a range of connected devices across kitchens, laundry, and entertainment.

The display suggested two parallel visions for smart homes: advanced automation that handles chores and a design-friendly, unobtrusive presence that blends with home aesthetics.

Gorenje aims to minimize daily tasks with design-focused solutions like Smart KitchenFit refrigerators, AirPurifier-equipped BigVolume systems, and compact appliances, while Hisense pushes intelligent scenarios through centralized control via ConnectLife and AIOS.

Both brands emphasized the convergence of AI, smart home technology, and integrated appliances across multiple categories, signaling a unified approach to modern living.

The stand highlighted lifestyle extensions and small appliances—instant ice cream makers, vacuum sealers, BLDC kitchen machines, air fryers, and a variety of personal care devices.

Gorenje showcased simplified daily tasks through design-centric kitchen solutions, including Smart KitchenFit and BigVolume with AirPurifier, alongside a pizza oven and related compact appliances.

Hisense spotlighted AI-driven connectivity and automation, featuring Smart screen refrigerators, Kitchen-fit and Built-in lines, AI multi-drum washers, AI Heat Pump models, and an expansive audiovisual lineup with massive LED displays and ConnectLife/AIOS integration.
