These days, every device and appliance worth its salt proclaims itself a smart one, armed with artificial intelligence (AI) that makes our lives easier. That being said, we don’t all have excesses of space to store every smart appliance that hits the market. To help you save space at home, here’s a list of ultimate smart multi-function appliances that will have you maximise your living areas.

1. Panasonic X-Premium Series Air Conditioner—2-in-1 air conditioner & purifier

With Singapore’s perma-summer, it’s no surprise that air conditioners are in hot demand. Another home appliance that’s seen a rise in popularity over the last couple of years is the air purifier, which admittedly takes up a fair bit of space in the house. That’s where the Panasonic X-Premium series of air conditioners comes in.

Fitted with their patented nanoe™ X technology, these aren’t just air conditioners, but also air purifiers that inhibit the growth of airborne pollutants such as bacteria, mould, viruses, and even odours from cigarettes and pets. You can even turn on just the nanoe™ X technology mode without air conditioning, saving you from needing a separate air purifier in the house. The best part: it’s mounted up on the wall so your floor space is freed up.

2. Kaadas K20 Pro Max—Face-recognition digital lock with peephole camera

Digital door locks have become commonplace in recent years, saving many of us the need to carry around physical keys and fumble in our bags for them at the door. If you’re looking to invest in one, you’d do well to look at the Kaadas K20 Pro Max, which is a door lock, security system, peephole camera and communications device in one nifty gadget. 

This German brand’s latest digital lock is an all-in-one getup: it takes owner identification to the next level with face recognition on top of fingerprint and more conventional methods, plus it’s a real-time doorstep camera so you can always track who’s outside your house. You can communicate with potential couriers through the K20 Pro Max too.

3. Panasonic Gentle Dry and Hygienic NA-S106FR1BS—AI-enabled washer-dryer with anti-bacterial & -mite wash

With the space crunch in many of our homes, it’s a godsend to have multifunction appliances such as the Panasonic Gentle Dry and Hygienic Front Load Washing Machine with Dryer. Gone too are the days where you have to pick out clothes to hang dry because they’ll shrink in the dryer, because this one maintains the internal temperature at 65ºC so they don’t.

Watch your cycles with the Panasonic SmartApp+, and allow the washing machine to select the best mode, amount of water, and length of wash based on the amount of laundry loaded. Its Blue Ag+ technology gets rid of 99.99% of bacteria, while StainMaster+ does the same with mites and allergens; the tub automatically cleans itself after every wash too.

4. Philips Hue—Smart lighting with advanced light controls

Light maketh the home, and it doesn’t have to be all that complicated. Instead of choosing multiple lamps and light fixtures for your home, consider suiting it up with Philips Hue smart lights. From lightstrips to large ceiling lamps, and even portable accent lights, it’s a one-stop solution to all your lighting needs.

That’s not all━save on the need to buy bulbs of different colours so you can differentiate the lighting in various parts of your home. The Philips Hue app allows you to customise your light colours, set up automations, sync your lights to your entertainment system, and even transition them through different shades so it supports your circadian rhythm.

5. Smart Bathroom Mirror—Bluetooth-enabled mirror with digital display

Take the high-tech toys into your bathroom with a Bluetooth-enabled smart mirror like the CANNES smart bathroom mirror. Connect it to your phone via Bluetooth to have information displayed on the mirror, such as the time and date, or play music so you can truly sing in the shower to your favourite tunes.

With anti-fog technology, you can check yourself out regardless of how hot your bath was, and take your best MOTD with 3 different light settings.

6. Panasonic Multifunctional Steam Oven NN-CS89LBYPQ—4-in-1 microwave with 36 auto programmes

Kitchen counter space is precious. Rather than have a standalone oven, steamer, and a microwave, have them all in one neat package in the form of a Panasonic Multifunctional Steam Oven. Measuring just 50cm across, this powerful appliance has 12 combi cooking options and 36 auto programmes, and 2 levels so you can have 2 trays of food cooking at the same time.

Its Genius Sensor acts through the Auto Reheat button, figuring out exactly how long it should reheat your food for. Plus, with its Inverter Technology, you can save up to 40% on cooking times.

7. Steigen Solar Pro Gen 2—Smart solar drying laundry system

We did feature a washer-dryer machine on this list, but for those who still prefer to hang your clothes, the Steigen Solar Pro Gen 2 is the smart drying rack you didn’t know you needed. Its Sol Ion technology repels dust mites and means your clothes don’t smell musky even when it’s humid and wet out. Its 60ºC solar and wind drying also mean your laundry gets all the benefits of being sunned without the associated colour fading risks.

This clever appliance can even be programmed to activate different functions based on ambient weather conditions. And fret not about electrical bills, because it’s reportedly at least 9 times more energy efficient than a dryer.

Smart multi-function appliances that save space in your home

Space is an increasingly pricey commodity these days; maximise the square footage that each appliance takes up by making sure they do more jobs for the space of one. Trust that you’re in good hands with Panasonic━the Japanese brand has been in the business of electronic goods since 1918, and their advanced technology is what puts the X-Premium series of air conditioners ahead of the pack.

More than just ensuring you breathe in clean air, their proprietary nanoe™X technology also moisturises your hair and skin as compared to other AC’s. For those of us with dry skin, this might mean you feel less of a need to get a humidifier for your air-conditioned room. 

At the same time, the X-Premium series’ smart humidity sensor constantly monitors the level of humidity in the room, keeping relative humidity levels below 60% so you’re kept comfortable. Their 5-tick energy efficiency rating means you can keep this AC on without worrying about astronomical electric bills. 

Even if you don’t want the AC on, you can turn on just the nanoeTMX mode so you can continue to enjoy clean air at home━this air purification mode operates at just 25W/h. To put this in perspective, the regular light bulb consumes 60W/h, and a ceiling fan at medium speed uses 25-30W/h.

From now till 30th September, purchase a Panasonic X-Premium System 3 or 4, which are calculated based on fan coil units, for your home, and receive up to $300 worth of grocery vouchers━while stocks last. Terms and conditions apply.
