theater and restaurant refreshments? GE Profile offers the Opal Ice Maker
so your clients can enjoy the same option in their own homes. The stainlesssteel, portable unit can produce up to 24 lbs. of ice in 24 hours and can store
up to 3 lbs. at one time. A quick-start feature allows the user to enjoy fresh

additional water in the machine outside of the central reservoir allows for
three times more ice production. The Opal Nugget Ice Maker is Wi-Fi

by Miele

WHAT HOMEOWNER DOESN'T WANT an appliance that takes away the
guesswork? Miele's G7000 Dishwasher Series offers just that with its AutoDos and PowerDisk features, which make it possible for the unit to automatically dispense the accurate amount of detergent based on how dirty the load
is. Users can select from a variety of cleaning programs, and the PowerDisk
stores and releases the correct amount of detergent needed each time it
rotates. Other features include movable sections, increased space, less water
consumption and increased energy efficiency. Users can open the handle-less
door with a Knock2Open function, and the ExtraQuiet program offers an
almost noiseless operation. The G7000 Dishwasher Series starts at $1,499
and is Wi-Fi compatible with AutoStart so users can monitor and operate the
appliance from the convenience of a smart device.The judges were most impressed by the dishwasher's QuickIntenseWash setting for a faster operation.

DID YOU EXPERIENCE a toilet paper shortage earlier this year?
Duravit's SensoWash i - a shower and toilet in one fixture - solves
that problem. An antimicrobial, stainless-steel interior wand
sprays water for various cleansing programs, which include Rear,
Lady and Comfortwash, and cleans itself before and after each
use. Other features include a heated seat, an odor extractor and an
auto-open/close lid on the Plus version. SensoWash i's sustainable
properties include Duravit Rimless water-saving flushing technology and HygieneGlaz e 2.0, which promotes toilet cleanliness
with fewer chemicals. The shower/toilet ranges in price from
$7,070 to $8,755 and is a contender in the smart tech bathroom
movement with an app and a remote that allow users to program
their preferred settings for water hardness, various temperatures
and spray angle. The judges chose this product because it speaks
to today's need for health and hygiene in the home.
