BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /CNW/ -- At IFA 2026, Midea brings its "Simply ideal" vision to life through the latest innovations, designed to bring greater intelligence, comfort, efficiency and ease to the home.
The exhibition also highlights Midea's new five-year partnership with FC Barcelona.
The Midea Suites: Ways to Master the Home
The new SMART MASTER showcases Midea's AI-powered home ecosystem. The AI Agent enables more natural, intuitive interaction with appliances across daily household scenarios. Midea Robot brings AI into the physical world through cooking, cleaning, laundry, care and whole-home control.
At IFA 2026, Midea unveiled its new AI voice-controlled air conditioner. Cliff Liang, General Manager of Enterprise Commercial for the China Region at Microsoft, joined the Midea event and shared Microsoft's perspective on the next phase of AI.
AI ECOMASTER coordinates appliances and connected systems through intelligent power management. It learns household routines and adapts to changing needs for greater flexibility and comfort.
For homes where every inch counts, SPACE MASTER delivers more usable capacity within the same external dimensions, as demonstrated by the refrigerator's expanded storage.
Alongside the MASTER Suites, the BUILT-IN Series includes the Milanese-inspired Ispira Series, combining cohesive design with intelligent functionality for an integrated cooking experience.
The Midea Scenarios: Innovation for Everyday Living
Comfort begins with the air around us. Midea's R290 Series responds to growing demand for efficient cooling. It combines advanced compressor and safety-sealing technologies with ultra-low-GWP R290 refrigerant, delivering around 10% higher energy efficiency. Residential applications include H-Pack and PortaSplit, with PortaSplit set to adopt R290 in 2027.
In the kitchen, technology simplifies daily routines, from food storage and cooking to after-meal care. The Visionary Series refrigerators make food easier to see and access through GlassVision, hands-free lighting and clear, even illumination.
The InfiniteFit Series hobs feature an ultra-slim design for seamless integration into European kitchens, while OmniFlex enables flexible cookware placement. The PizzaPro built-in oven combines rapid heating with an 81L cavity, balancing speed with capacity.
After the meal, the Tri-GreenApex System brings washing, drying and storage together while using around 50% less energy than required for Europe's highest A rating.
Laundry brings its own everyday needs. Midea's family laundry room concept combines multi-drum solutions for different garment-care needs, allowing separate loads to run at the same time. The OMNI SERIES offers flexible combinations to suit different household routines.
Tobin Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance, introduced Matter at Midea's booth, highlighting its open, secure, interoperable framework and Midea's role in advancing smart appliance connectivity.
