LG announced a lot of upcoming products at its event today during the CES 2014 press day in Las Vegas, including a new line of premium kitchen appliances.

The LG Studio collection includes a full complement of modern kitchen necessities, including ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, microwave ovens, and dishwashers, all of which are impeccably well-designed and equipped with innovative new technologies.

The Studio Refrigerator, for example, is outfitted with a dual evaporator system that can rapidly adapt to changes in temperature and humidity to ensure that your food stays as fresh an possible. This system is able to react quickly thanks to an array of digital temperature/humidity sensors that line the fridge’s interior compartments and constantly monitor the atmosphere.

The Studio dishwasher features LG’s TrueSteam technology that uses high-temperature water vapor blasted through special nozzles to remove food particles from dishes. This method is meant to completely eliminate the need to pre-wash dishes before you place them in the washer.

On top of all that, LG has outfitted this machine with modular, adjustable racks that allow you to rearrange the layout of the washer to better accommodate oddly-shaped bowls, pans, platters, and other dishes. Whereas most other dishwashers only featuer two tiers, LG’s TrueSteam dishwashers come with a height-adjustable third tier, which gives you some extra space to place unruly items like spatulas and whisks.

The Studio collection also offers a complete set of cooking essentials, including gas and electric cooktops, single and double wall ovens, slide-in and freestanding ranges, and microwave ovens. Appliances such as the wall oven come complete with a digital recipe bank housing over 100 recipes — 42 of which are pre-programmed into the oven.

No word on when the Studio line will be available for purchase, but we expect LG to roll them out within the next few months. For now, you can head over to LG’s CES website for further details.

Nanoleaf upgrades its music-syncing skills, launches new lighting products at CES 2024

The Nanoleaf Skylight lighting up a room various shades of purple.

Nanoleaf lit up the stage at CES 2024, pulling back the curtain on a variety of new lighting products arriving later this year. Along with the Essentials Matter Smart Multicolor Lightstrip, Outdoor String Lights, and Permanent Outdoor Lights, the company gave fans a closer look at the upcoming Skylight Modular Ceiling Light and the Orchestrator software -- with the latter bringing massive improvements to Nanoleaf's music syncing abilities.

Orchestrator is arguably the most exciting innovation of the bunch, as it connects directly to your computer's sound source to create a highly accurate lighting performance. This allows your Nanoleaf products to create a light show that's more robust than most other products on the market, which rely on sound alone.

The Anker Solix F3800 charging an EV.

Anker showed off several products at CES 2024, but few were as compelling as the Solix F3800 Portable Power Station. With a staggering 6,000W output (and the option to chain two together for 12,000W), it's shaping up to be a portable power station that can tackle every task around your home, garage, or campsite.

The Solix F3800 is designed as an all-encompassing solution for portable power. Its output allows it to power RVs, directly charge EVs, and run home appliances like your microwave and refrigerator. Along with its 6,000W output, it benefits from up to a 53.8kwh capacity; in other words, it should have more than enough juice to run your gadgets before it needs to recharge itself.

Samsung SmartThings learns a bunch of useful new tricks at CES 2024

Samsung SmartThings -- an application designed to connect and control your smart home devices -- doesn't quite get the same attention as platforms like Google Home or Apple HomeKit. However, it made some big announcements at CES 2024, and it's shaping up to be a big year for Samsung's first-party platform. Along with enhanced support for TVs and new uses for QR codes, SmartThings is rolling out a brilliant Map View feature, which creates a digital map of your home and shows you exactly where all your connected devices are located.

Here's how it works. Instead of scrolling through a list of all your devices or jumping between groups in your smartphone app, Map View lets you see a 3D representation of your home on your smartphone. Inside this map, you'll find icons for all your smart home gadgets corresponding to their actual physical location. That means you can quickly find exactly which device you want to control without needing to scroll through a long list.
