A 2026 Best of KBIS Award Finalist, the new Smart Double Wall Oven with Intelligent Cooking Camera launches alongside French Door Refrigerators with AI-enabled Intelligent Auto Fill

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. , Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Timeless design meets breakthrough innovation in the KitchenAid space at the 2026 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), happening February 17–19, 2026 in Orlando, Florida.

As part of the brand's largest product line relaunch in over a decade, KitchenAid will be unveiling wall ovens with a new Intelligent Cooking Camera that ensures every meal made at home is cooked to your personal taste; counter-depth french door refrigerators with new AI-enabled Intelligent Auto Fill that fills glasses and water bottles of any size hands-free; and 360° Max Jets™ Third Rack Dishwashers that combine the brand's best capacity and clean with its driest dry,¹ thanks to the new Advanced ProDry^™ System

"As the creator of the first stand mixer and the first home dishwashers, KitchenAid brand has never stopped redefining what you can do in the kitchen," said Kevin Sulaiman, Associate Brand Director for KitchenAid Major Appliances. "The new products we're debuting here at KBIS build on that heritage of innovation with features that do what you expect—expertly—and surprise you with what you didn't."

Guests are invited to explore the KitchenAid space inside the Whirlpool Corporation booth (W701) to get hands-on with the latest innovations, including:

• KitchenAid^® Smart Double Wall Oven with Intelligent Cooking Camera: Experience cooking through a new lens with this 2026 Best of KBIS Award Finalist. The new Intelligent Cooking Camera recognizes supported food types like whole chicken, cookies, bread, bacon, pizza and more to start cooking without preheating. Doneness Detection monitors progress and auto-adjusts cook time as needed, so food comes out just the way you like. Plus Live Look-In lets you check on food at any time, right from your phone² or the oven's display screen—and even get a shareable, time-lapse video of the entire cooking process once complete.
• KitchenAid^® Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator with Intelligent Auto Fill:  Easily and correctly fill cups hands-free. This refrigerator's exterior water dispenser has been completely reengineered to let you set down a variety of containers, from 8 oz coffee cups to 40 oz water bottles, pots, pans, vases and more. Plus it uses AI-enabled Intelligent Auto Fill to automatically sense and fill your glass with no splash or overflow—and even detects when your hand pulls it away, if it is off-center or has something inside it.
• KitchenAid^® 360° Max Jets^™ Third Rack Dishwasher with Advanced ProDry^™ System: Enjoy KitchenAid brand's best capacity and clean with new and improved drying technology. The 7.25 Cu. Ft. MaxTub Largest Dishwasher Tub³ makes room for the 360° Max Jets^™ Third Rack, which fits 10 extra glasses and mugs,⁴ freeing up space for larger items below. 50+ Total Wash Jets offer targeted cleaning on every level. And the new Advanced ProDry^™ System combines heating elements, fans and natural ventilation at the end of the cycle, so dishes come out table-ready.

Along with immersive product experiences, guests visiting the space will also enjoy live demonstrations of the Intelligent Cooking Camera's Food Recognition, Live Look-In and Doneness Detection features, as the brand bakes up 1,200 fresh chocolate chip cookies each day to show how these new capabilities ensure food cooks to your exact preferences.
