WiFi Appliances - Connecting Life

by Garner Appliance & Mattress

2020 showed us how important connecting is for our homes. Yes, there were days when we all want to turn off the noise, but what a difference the convenience of today’s appliances give us.
Smart-enabled appliances continue to amaze with versatility and efficiency. Take the features of a smart oven that will preheat your oven or adjust the temp remotely, to the self-cleaning mode after cooking. It doesn’t get any easier than that for home chefs.

Why Connecting Makes Sense?

The new year is a perfect time to upgrade and make that smart connection. HGTV lists 5 benefits of Internet Appliances including:

  • Diagnosing problems: The HGTV article by Mike Heinz, president of University electric describes how easily something can be fixed using current technologies. “Let’s say the consumer finds that the fridge isn’t cold. You call the factory, and the factory signals the fridge, which then tells the factory that the fan is not working. With that one call, a tech comes out fixing the product with zero guesswork.”
  • Remote Monitoring: Check out Café™ 27.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator with customizable features so you won’t want to leave home. You’re always in control, wherever you are using your voice or smart device. It comes complete with a Keurig K-Cup brewing system. Fixing hot beverages has never been easier using this fridge to heat the water while you relax in another part of the house. Sharp's 1.2 cu ft. stainless steel Microwave Drawer with WiFi Connectivity is a state-of-the-art appliance that is a perfect fit with “proud mount” or flush-mount installation. This beauty allows you to download the Sharp Kitchen App giving you greater WiFi smart features to allow for greater cooking and heating capabilities.
  • Communication between appliances: GE’s CleanSpeak uses the internet to send a signal from the washer to the dryer, which will then auto-select the right cycle and drying time, reducing time and saving money. GE® 4.8 Cu. Ft. White Smart Front Load Washer with built-in WiFi. Laundry has never been easier using the features of this front load washer. You can start, stop, and monitor your laundry from anywhere while receiving real-time notifications and updates.
  • Innovative Cooking: How much time do we spend cooking in the kitchen? A 2019 survey by Kitchen stories investigated the cooking habits of people in the U.S. It found that 50% of respondents were happy to spend 30 to 60 minutes cooking a weeknight meal. The data for 2020 is not in yet but cooking at home took center stage for most of us. Smart appliances like the GE Countertop Microwave can be controlled with your voice using scan-to-cook technology to help food cook perfectly. Small size appliances like Instant Pot and Air Fryers are WiFi-enabled giving your easy cooking selections.
  • Energy Monitoring: Manufacturers continue to fine-tune their product lines to give us the best in service, technology, and energy savings. MySmart Appliances from Whirlpool with 6th sense technology show up on your mobile devices to help control your appliances but also track their energy use.

Now is a great time to capitalize on smart appliances for your home. Make a wish list and then connect with the team at Garner Appliance and Mattress, and we’ll get you started.
