The talking washing machine - now there are no excuses for being able to use the washing machine. The Zanussi Voice washing machine talks you though the controls and even offers some words of comfort for those who get stressed out by the experience, advising the user to 'relax' once the relevant programme is selected.
Cool communication - as well as doing everything a fridge does, the Electrolux Screen Fridge has a 38cm (15in) touch screen which is connected to broadband, TV and radio. It also features a calendar and organiser, a message system and phone and MP3 connections. This means you can do your shopping, book a holiday, watch your favourite programme and know when your kids' dental appointment is just before you reach for the milk.
Clever cleaner - never before has vacuuming been so much fun! The Trilobite from Electrolux is a robotic cleaner that uses ultrasound to scan the room for dirt. Then it simply gets on and does the job. And it even knows when it's had enough, making it's own way back to the charger when it runs out of battery.
