Checking the food baking in your oven just got a lot easier, or a lot more complicated – it depends on how you look at. Appliance maker Electrolux will soon have an oven with live-streaming capabilities on the market.
The company is keen on the the future of smart appliances, with their CEO gushing to Bloomberg, “This is a year of massive launches that will really create volume and value.”
The high-tech oven will have a built-in camera and you’ll be able to view inside from your tablet or smartphone, thanks to an app. The company already offers apps for other appliances that offer instruction on use and let you download recipes and you can even control their heat pump remotely using an app.
Electrolux hopes that once users purchase an appliance that works with their app, they’ll want to purchase more smart appliance so that their whole kitchen can work with a single app. Much in the way that Apple, Android and Amazon build brand loyalty by providing both devices and services that work together.

I would never buy one of these, its bad enough with all the new smart washers and dryers and I just bought a new dishwasher and it cost enough money to put insurance on it, it case it breaks and these new electric things break fast as we all know, heck my dishwasher was over $800.00 and it still does not dry my dishes and I have read and reread the book. So now I have to call the place. No pretty soon we won’t even have to talk to each other, and that is sad!!
I will probably never own one but if I ever did I would love it..
“Oh look it’s burning. Too bad I am not at home.” Hopefully, they have solved ‘burnt grease on the camera lens’. This will be so much more convenient than looking through the oven window.
