Berlin – – September 10, 2026 -- Midea has unveiled VitaBreeze, a new home air conditioning system that lets users direct airflow to specific spots in a room via smartphone, with a global preview set for IFA 2026 and a European retail launch planned for early 2027.

The system maps rooms to control airflow direction

VitaBreeze uses what Midea calls AirGrid Intelligence, which creates a digital layout of a room so users can visually steer air currents from their phone -- toward a yoga mat, for instance, or away from a couch.

Berlin – September 09, 2026 -- Midea has launched a built-in oven from its SpaceMaster series that reaches 350°C, a temperature rarely found in household appliances and typically reserved for professional pizzerias.

Most home ovens cap out at 250°C, too low for authentic pizza crust

Standard ovens max out around 250°C, sufficient for a casserole but not for the bubbled, leopard-spotted crust that defines great pizza. Achieving that texture has traditionally required a backyard brick oven or a delivery order.
