The future of smart appliances is upon us.

LG has not only dared to venture into connected kitchen technology, they’ve taken it a step further with their newest smart appliances. We got to see all this at CES.

The InstaView ThinQ is the fridge of the future. It’s equipped with the smart voice assistant Alexa which means you will be able to talk to it — the better to figure out what you want to eat! Not only that, it will suggest recipes depending on what food items you have stored. The best part is that it can be connected to your phone and all your other smart appliances for a seamless everyday home experience.

If you had a robot, what would you make it do?

The makers of Aeolus answered this question: They’d make it help around the house!

The Aeolus robot can pick things up and return them where they belong, move furniture around, and it can even vacuum. The best part? At the end of a long day, you can sit back, relax, and ask the robot for a beer.

Good job, Aeolus robot. Good job. 🍻
