Unveiled at Las Vegas' CES 2018 innovation conference, the kitchen appliance is designed to be easily monitored from just about anywhere, making the process of cleaning one's dishes more convenient than ever before.
Thanks to an accompanying mobile app that is voice-activated, the appliance can be programmed to run at different load times even if users are outside of their home. Additionally, the app will notify users with diagnostic alerts when machine maintenance is needed.
Equipped with a 360° PowerWash X wash system, the appliance features "4 wash arms and Mixed Load technology that varies the water intensity in its upper and lower racks to accommodate different items in the same load."
