Smart home appliances, particularly smart kitchen devices, have made a rapid entry into our lives over the past two years. From screen-equipped refrigerators to AI-powered range hoods and ovens that can "talk," these gadgets are constantly appearing in our news feeds, social media, and e-commerce platforms. However, despite their growing presence, they rarely make it into our daily routines—because their real-world performance is often underwhelming.

These so-called "smart" kitchen appliances seem to be packed with intelligence, yet their smart features often miss the mark. For instance, a smart range hood might be able to tell you how far Gemini is from Earth, while a smart fridge could play the latest American TV show. But when you ask it how to fry candy, none of them can give a clear, helpful answer.

Today, almost every home appliance and tech company is launching new "smart" products. At product launches, they boast about the cleverness of their smart features, sharing heartwarming or quirky stories about the design process. These features and narratives capture attention and spark consumer interest. But after the initial excitement fades, what remains? Mostly frustration, as these devices fail to deliver on their promises.

The kitchen is one of the most technologically advanced areas in the home. Over the past two years, smart kitchen appliances have taken up a significant portion of the smart home market. From smart refrigerators and range hoods to steamers, ovens, and stoves, nearly every kitchen appliance now claims to be "intelligent." But how do these devices actually improve our cooking experience?
Let’s take a closer look at some of the so-called "smart" features found in today's smart kitchen appliances.
**More remote control**
Remote control is one of the most commonly used "smart" features in home appliances. It allows users to control their devices via a mobile app, which sounds convenient. However, in reality, this feature often doesn't align with the habits of Chinese consumers. Cooking usually involves being present in the kitchen, and the idea of controlling an appliance from another room feels unnecessary and even unsafe.

Moreover, many of these apps simply replicate the physical controls of the appliance onto a phone interface, without creating a seamless or intuitive user experience. This leads to a fragmented system where each device requires its own app, making it more complicated than it needs to be.
**Useless smart screen**
Many smart appliances now come with built-in screens that allow users to access recipes, watch TV, or listen to music. On paper, this sounds great—but in practice, it’s often impractical. The noisy environment of a kitchen, filled with the sound of sizzling pans and a running range hood, makes it hard to enjoy any kind of media. Plus, most people don’t want to stare at a small screen while cooking.

Additionally, the fast-paced nature of Chinese cooking means there’s little time to check a screen for recipes. A smartphone is often a better choice for quick access to information. So, why add a screen if it doesn’t actually enhance the cooking experience?
**Chicken ribs to the home of food management**
Some smart refrigerators offer a "food management system" that tracks what’s inside, suggests recipes, and reminds users when ingredients are about to expire. While this sounds useful, the reality is often frustrating. Most systems require manual input, which is time-consuming and not practical for everyday use.

Even when set up, these systems often lack accuracy. They can’t reliably detect the freshness of ingredients or adjust storage times based on actual conditions. As a result, they end up being more of a gimmick than a genuine solution.
**What is the really useful smart kitchen?**
In many cases, the "smart" features of these appliances feel like marketing hype rather than real innovation. Companies are rushing to add smart functions just to keep up with the trend, without considering whether they truly solve real problems.

Consumers are increasingly frustrated with smart appliances that don’t deliver on their promises. They want devices that simplify their lives, not complicate them. The kitchen, in particular, is a complex environment, and smart appliances should aim to make it easier—not more confusing.

While the future of smart home appliances looks promising, the current generation still has a long way to go. Technology and data collection are still in their early stages, and many smart devices are not yet mature enough to meet real consumer needs.

However, there are signs of progress. Some smart appliances already offer practical solutions, such as range hoods that automatically detect smoke or smart water heaters that adjust temperature based on ambient conditions. These features may not be flashy, but they address real issues in the kitchen.
We’re hopeful that more smart kitchen appliances will follow this path—offering quiet, effective improvements rather than gimmicks. The true smart kitchen isn’t about adding unnecessary features; it’s about making cooking easier, safer, and more enjoyable.
