Home Appliances Showcase: High-Tech for Everyday Life

The Home Appliances sector at IFA showcases innovations designed to make life easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Visitors can experience the latest developments in smart kitchens, connected appliances, and energy-efficient solutions.

"The future of living takes shape where technology creates added value. From AI-powered ovens and smart dishwashers to modern air purifiers and automated cleaning systems, the focus is on a single question: How can technology create more time for the things that really matter? At IFA, visitors can see, touch, and try out these innovations and the technology behind them," says Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH.

The showcase highlights key trends such as smart kitchens and connected appliances, AI-powered cooking and cleaning devices, energy-efficient and sustainable solutions, and connected home and home care technologies.

New: Outdoor Cooking & Gardening showcases the smart garden

Today, the smart home no longer stops at the patio door. The IFA Outdoor Cooking & Gardening area brings

home appliances outdoors. From smart grills to connected gardening technology, the focus here is on cooking, gardening, and spending time in the open air.

Here, visitors can experience how gardening, outdoor cooking, and outdoor area maintenance are becoming smart and efficient. Smart irrigation systems supply plants with water based on their specific needs, autonomous robotic mowers handle lawn care, and connected sensors provide precise data on weather and soil conditions.

IFA is expanding its home appliance portfolio to include outdoor cooking systems, BBQs, gardening tools, and home & workshop solutions. In the Outdoor Cooking & Gardening show area, as well as in Halls 9 and 11.1, companies such as Mammotion, Navimow, and VEVOR are showcasing their latest solutions for the future of garden maintenance.
