Hisense has unveiled its renewed smart home ecosystem, with a redesign of the ConnectLife platform that integrates personalized assistants with artificial intelligence (AI), greater energy efficiency and compatibility with other brands of appliances, as well as a wide range of new kitchen and laundry appliances, including the X-Zone Master laundry with modular system.
The technology company unveiled its latest innovations in home technology at the CES 2026 technology trade show, taking place from January 6 to 9 in Las Vegas, USA. There it will unveil its smart home ecosystem, which focuses on integrating AI-powered assistance, energy efficiency features and improved connectivity.
In this sense, Hisense has announced a redesign of its ConnectLife platform, which now integrates specialized AI assistants that learn how the user lives on a daily basis to coordinate their devices in a personalized way. This means that each agent focuses on a specific part of the daily routine at home.
As the company exemplified in a statement, kitchen agents can independently suggest food and wine pairings based on what comes into the kitchen, and laundry agents recognize fabric types to improve and optimize washing.
Additionally, ConnectLife support has also been expanded to include compatibility with other brands of devices and products, including the Matter Protocol and Google Home. This improves the ability to manage a fully coordinated home.
NEW SMART REFRIGERATORS
In terms of new features for the smart kitchen, Hisense has introduced the new Hub ConnectLife refrigerators, which feature two high-resolution screens, a 21-inch screen for home content and applications and another 35-inch screen for basic refrigerator functions.
Through these screens, ConnectLife and the AI Cooking Agent, these new refrigerators recommend recipes and meals based on available foods, guide the recipe preparation steps and coordinate them with the smart kitchen.
They also feature an accessible design as well as an antibacterial coating, Metal-Tech cooling technology and sliding metal drawers that offer adjustable humidity zones and freezer functions to adapt to users’ needs.
It also introduced Hisense’s PureFit refrigerators, which integrate food preservation technology in a “space-saving” format. This is because they have a sleek design that is designed to fit into modern kitchens with small spaces. It’s about “maximizing space without sacrificing storage capacity.”
Inside, it features advanced food preservation technology that combines refrigeration with metal technology, as well as a vegetable drawer with adjustable humidity and antibacterial protection that eliminates 99.9 percent of bacteria.
Hisense has also expanded the PureFit series with a new wine cellar that complements the range and offers additional configuration options.
SMART KITCHEN AND NEW DISHWASHER
To continue cooking, Hisense also introduced a new smart induction cooktop that integrates a high-resolution 6.86-inch touchscreen in the flush-mount format, making the ConnectLife cooking agent even more accessible.
In this sense, users can view meal planning, the recipe they are cooking or recipe instructions and inspiration directly on the kitchen screen, as the technology company explains.
Likewise, the induction hob has zones that can combine two cooking areas in the same larger area to allow the use of different kitchen utensils, all covered by a durable, scratch-resistant surface. The kitchen also features a 5.8 cubic foot oven equipped with Rapid Preheat technology, using a coordinated three-element algorithm.
Added to this is the new S7 Smart Dishwasher, which also features a high-resolution 6.86-inch touchscreen that offers a clear and intuitive interface for program selection and usage monitoring.
Hisense has detailed that it is equipped with Super Smart Wash technology that automatically detects the load size and soil level and intelligently adjusts the detergent, water amount, temperature and cycle time for optimal washing.
This new S7 dishwasher even communicates with other Hisense kitchen appliances to recommend the rinse cycle based on the recipe or cooking method used, taking into account whether oven trays or dishes are being cleaned. In addition, it has a Smart Dry system that ensures “completely dry” dishes and a spray arm that ensures complete cleaning of glassware.
SMART LAUNDRY
Hisense also introduced its new U7 washer and dryer, offering high performance, intelligent fabric care and special hygiene features. This is the company’s first 5-cubic-foot washer, so it offers more space for handling large loads.
Additionally, it features a 7-inch high-resolution screen to manage the AI-powered laundry agent, which automatically adjusts the cycle parameters based on the type of fabric. It also includes a high-temperature sterilization cycle that eliminates stubborn stains and microbes.
The HiBubble detergent dispenser, in turn, creates an ultra-fine, soluble foam that penetrates the textiles more efficiently and thus enables more optimal cleaning. At the same time, it is a washing machine that takes care of laundry by adapting to the needs of users.
The Hisense Roman Holiday all-in-one washer dryer is another novelty from Hisense and in this case has a retro-modern style with gold details. In addition, it features an “ultra-thin” depth of 52cm, designed for smaller spaces.
This washer dryer disinfects and eliminates odors in a single cycle and also features AI Wash technology to adjust water levels and energy consumption without compromising cleaning performance.
Finally, Hisense also introduced the X-Zone Master Laundry, the first infinitely scalable modular washer-dryer system. This is because you can expand the main washing unit with any number of mini-modules depending on your needs.
This approach allows you to wash separate loads of laundry at the same time, whether delicates, activewear or linens, without having to wait or mix garments that require different care. Additionally, the entire system runs at less than 46 dB, ensuring extremely quiet operation even when multiple devices are running at the same time.
The AI Laundry Agent also automatically detects fabric types and levels of soiling and automatically optimizes washing cycles.
Hisense also introduced its TopLift dehumidifier, which features a top-lift in-room water collection system that offers 38% more capacity than traditional models and significantly improves accessibility.
