Smart Kitchen Evolution: From Technology to Service Smart Kitchen Evolution: From Technology to Service

With over twenty years of experience in the kitchen appliance industry, I've noticed a significant change: In recent years, the so-called "smart kitchen" has been trapped in the误区 of brand "self-satisfied iteration".

Major manufacturers have been obsessed with adding large screens, entertaining voice commands, cross-border interconnection, and other features, making parameters increasingly complex and marketing concepts endless. However, in daily home use, it is found that most of the showy smart functions have become ornaments, and high-end kitchen appliances are left with only basic cooking functions. Technological upgrading has not truly solved users' pain points.

Entering 2026, the industry has reached a clear dividing line.

Abandoning ineffective intelligence and focusing on real user experience has become the unified direction of leading brands. The entire track has said goodbye to the浮躁 of "smart for smart" and directly faced the core problems of Chinese kitchens, such as difficult to control cooking time, smoke, complicated operations, cramped space, and healthy eating. This is not a simple product update, but a deep transformation of the smart kitchen from "technology showmanship" to "service life".

Based on the market dynamics throughout the year, I have formed a core judgment:

The core of the intelligentization of Chinese kitchens is always the cooking time, not a flashy screen.

This is also the biggest misconception in the industry over the past few years. Many brands have been misplaced, focusing on additional functions such as audio-visual entertainment and entertaining interaction, ignoring the essence of Chinese cooking.

Chinese people cooking rely on cooking time control for the flavor and texture of dishes. To talk about intelligence without controlling fire and smoke is essentially to deviate from users' needs.

As a result, the development routes of mainstream brands in 2026 have been completely divided, forming distinct market labels.

The third important transformation: Health is no longer just a marketing slogan, but a full-process closed loop.

In the past, "health" was just a common industry slogan, with concepts such as sterile, low-fat, and healthy floating around, but lacking actual technical support, making it difficult for users to feel the value. In 2026, healthy intelligence has said goodbye to concept炒作, covering the whole process from food storage, cooking, to post-cooking cleaning.

In the storage end, Midea and Haier smart refrigerators have eliminated entertainment functions, focusing on food recognition, expiration date reminders, and dietary advice to reduce food waste and help users develop healthy eating habits.

Cooking is the core of health management. Precision fire control, temperature and humidity double control technology are widely used, locking in the fragrance and nutrition of ingredients with high heat, and preserving the original flavor with low heat, reducing harmful substances produced by high-temperature cooking, suitable for the elderly, children, and families with dietary management needs.

The final prediction: The second half of the smart kitchen competition is not about feature stacking, but about technical restraint.

At present, there are still many small and medium-sized brands blindly following the AI trend, adding a large number of redundant functions, looking impressive on paper, but actually lacking in practicality, and eventually being eliminated by the market. The rules of the industry have changed: high-quality kitchen appliances are to cut off unnecessary tricks and do the core needs to the extreme.

In conclusion, the smart kitchen in 2026 has shed the superficial technology wrapper.

The industry has said goodbye to the internal competition of showmanship, returning to the most simple user needs of cooking time, health, cleanliness, and convenience. In the future, the competition of kitchen appliances is not about concepts and parameters, but real technology and user experience.

Abandoning invalid tricks and focusing on life needs is the core development trend of smart kitchens this year.
