What is a smart appliance?

The Kenmore Smart lineup are state of the art appliances that connect to an app on your smart phone via Wi-Fi, allowing you to control your home from the palm of your hand. With the convenience of the Kenmore Smart App, you can easily monitor, control, and maintain your appliances from your phone – remotely. Washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters and water softeners – they all become, well – ‘smart’.

How do smart appliances work?

Kenmore Smart Appliances have 100 years of trusted Kenmore performance and reliability behind them, but with the added convenience of being “smart.” That means you can use your home’s Wi-Fi to control them remotely with the Kenmore Smart App. For example, if you’re at the office and you want to start a load of laundry before you get home, you can do that with Kenmore Smart App. The App sends your command to the Kenmore Cloud. And then the Kenmore Cloud delivers that command to start your smart washer, all in a matter of seconds.
