for them. Or a washing machine that
orders laundry detergent before it
runs out. Or an air conditioner that
adjusts the temperature when it
knows you feel hot.
A fantasy? Hardly. This exact
scenario was showcased by Haier at
the Appliance and Electronics World
Expo (AWE) in Shanghai in March.

visitors found the Casarte fusion
washing + care machine. The
machine’s door opens in response to
knocking, and with normal wash, air
wash, and dry settings, it can launder
delicate clothing at home.
Nearby was a smart appliances
suite designed for millennials by

young users. The suite has the
contemporary appearance that
younger users often like and features
smart functions, such as high-speed
Internet connections and voice- and
remote-control options. Users can
turn on their washing machines using
voice commands, freeing up their
hands for other tasks.
Further inside the pavilion, AWE
visitors found the Haier Smart Home

all devices and provides proactive
services for every scenario, realizing a
true smart lifestyle for the fi rst time.
