The air fryer trend has been taking off in kitchens everywhere and GE Appliances is ready to get in on the trend in a new way. At the 2019 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, the company introduced a new wall oven that comes with an air fryer built right in. The smart kitchen appliance also features a food dehydrator so you can do all of your prep work and cooking in the same place.
GE Appliances’s new Cafe and GE Profile lines of built-in wall ovens are equipped with all the equipment you could ask for out of a single appliance. The Cafe wall oven line, the company’s newest, offer customizable finishes to make sure it fits perfectly in your kitchen and has a distinct style. In addition to the air fryer and dehydrate modes that are available in the unit, it also has a 7-inch, full-color LCD touchscreen that allows you to take control of the entire cooking experience. It connects via Wi-Fi to your phone or other devices so you can control features remotely, and features scan-to-cook technology that sets the oven to the precise temperature needed for the meal you’re preparing. It makes cooking foolproof, even for a novice in the kitchen.
According to GE Appliances, the Cafe wall oven line will be available starting in April, with a 27- and 30-inch model available in single and double oven configurations. The ovens will start at $2,849.
In addition to the Cafe series, GE Appliances is also rolling out the GE Profile 7000 Series wall oven. It offers much of what the Cafe does, including air frying and dehydrating modes. It has a 7-inch LCD screen of its own that displays the oven’s controls and offers connectivity in the way of Wi-Fi and scan-to-cook technology. The Profile series also has GE Appliance’s Direct Air Convection feature for more efficient cooking and a consistent heat throughout the even, a zero-preheat mode so you can start cooking right away, and a self-clean cycle that can even clean the oven racks.
The GE Profile 7000 Series will also be available this April with a 27- and 30-inch model. Single and double wall ovens will be available, with a starting price of $2,749.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
