This February at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), Whirlpool brand is proving that high-tech doesn't have to mean high-complexity. At the Whirlpool Corporation Booth (#W701), the brand will debut tech-first products designed to be as practical and intuitive as they are innovative. Industry-Firsts That Redefine the Routine: The Whirlpool space will showcase technologies designed to help solve family challenges.

The champion of Whirlpool products this year is the industry-first refrigerator, featuring a built-in Nugget Ice Maker, providing soft, chewable ice integrated into theator at home. In the laundry room, Whirlpool introduces the industry-first UV Clean technology, designed to be tough on bacteria in the wash while remaining gentle on fabrics. This innovative system uses ultraviolet light that shines into the water, working to reduce bacteria during the wash cycle.

UV Clean can be added to a regular wash, even in cool water temperatures. This allows to reduce bacteria without needing high temperatures, harsh chemicals, or risking fabric fading. Whirlpool Innovation Highlights at KBIS 2026: Whirlpool®?
