If you’re already thinking about your spring cleaning to-do list, nothing will encourage you to donate your existing possessions quite like an influx of new options. And here to provide them to you is KitchenAid, who at this year’s International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago debuted a number of new countertop appliances. From a toaster to a cold brew coffee maker, you can be sure that your kitchen is well-equipped to help you jumpstart the new season (and your day).

Take, for instance, the Precision Gooseneck Kettles, which will be made available in June. The gooseneck spout and three flow rate settings will deliver the precision you need for a pourover, or simply help you pour tea or any other beverage without making a mess. There’s a brew range thermometer inside the lid to track the water temperature as you pour, and because it’s made of polished stainless steel, the kettle promises to be a breeze to clean. The stovetop version will set you back $100, the electric $120, and the digital $150.

Then, there’s the new Electric Kettle from KitchenAid, which promises dual-wall design to keep the insides of the appliance hot (which means you have to reboil water less frequently). The kettle promises to boil both efficiently and quietly, which can help you get your morning started quickly without disturbing anyone else. With a lime scale filter and all-metal interior, you won’t have to worry about the kettle breaking down due to build-up. You’ll be able to get your hands on this appliance come September for $80.

There’s also the Cold Brew Coffee Maker in larger size than the currently available 28-ounce model. Also to be made available in September, this cold brew maker helps you keep ice coffee on tap. Simply fill it with coffee concentrate and cold water, then just keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The maker is slated to retail for $170.

Finally, there’s the Long Slot Toaster with high lift lever. Whether you’re toasting a baguette or a bagel, this new KitchenAid  appliance will let you achieve the perfect crusty result. Available in both a two and four-slice option, this toaster will hit stores in September as well, with the two-slice version retailing for $80 and the four-slice option retailing for $100.

“We see the kitchen as the heart of the home and a place to be inspired through a variety of passions,” said Nikki Lockett, U.S. Marketing Leader for KitchenAid® Small Appliances. “We want to help coffee and breakfast enthusiasts start their day right with exciting new premium appliances.”

You can check out the rest of KitchenAid’s famous appliances, including its perennially popular mixer (which is also available in a miniature size), at the company’s website.

Las Vegas is overrun. Every billboard in town is shouting about AI, hotel bar tops now sport a sea of laptops, and after hours The Strip is elbow to elbow with engineers toting yard-long beers.

That means CES, the year’s biggest tech bacchanalia, has come to town, and Digital Trends editors have spent the last four days frolicking among next year’s crop of incredible TVs, computers, tablets, and EVs. We’re in heaven.

Ring shows off new Kidde smoke alarms and free 2K camera upgrades at CES 2025
A person setting up a Ring Smoke Detector.

Ring made a big -- though rather surprising -- announcement at CES 2025, revealing that it has partnered with Kidde to launch a new collection of smart smoke alarms. Arriving in April, the collection includes the Kidde Smart Smoke Alarm and Combination Alarm, the latter of which detects both smoke and carbon monoxide. They’ll sync with the existing Ring app to send users alerts should anything trigger its sensors, and they should be an enticing option for folks who have already bought into the Ring ecosystem.

While customers will receive alerts via the mobile app, they can also sign up for the new Ring 24/7 Smoke & CO Monitoring Subscription for $5 per month. This is a professional monitoring service that lets a trained dispatch team keep tabs on your detectors -- and if they’re triggered, the dispatch team can automatically contact emergency services and send them to your home. That should provide more peace of mind than your normal smoke alarms, which might ring out loud and clear but can’t alert the fire department.

Jackery’s new solar panels are indistinguishable from your roof
jackerys new solar panels are indistinguishable from your roof jwholehome

When you think of solar panels on a home, what's the first thing that comes to mind? In most cases, it's the square, black photovoltaic cells. While those do work, they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing. This is an issue, especially in communities with draconic HOAs. The Jackery Solar Roof offers an attractive alternative that's practically indistinguishable from terracotta roofing tiles.

The Solar Roof has a conversion rate of over 25%. That might not sound like a lot, but the average efficiency rating of solar panels is typically between 15% and 22%, putting Jackery far ahead of the pack. These panels are tougher than a normal roof, too; they're impact and hail resistant and come with a 30-year warranty. That's right, 30 years (and the average lifespan of a normal roof is only 20 years).
