As a Best of IBS finalist and TWICE CES® 2025 Award winner, the Zero Clearance refrigerator allows builders and their homebuyers to achieve a built-in look without the cost.
- The SKS 30-inch Transitional Series Combi Wall Oven, a Best of IBS finalist and TIME Best Invention of the year, with Gourmet AI™ technology that helps home chefs simplify the cooking process by identifying ingredients and providing streamlined recipe suggestions and cooking modes, ensuring consistent and delightful results without guesswork. The built-in camera enables remote monitoring via the ThinQ® app, eliminating the need for constant oven checks and preserving heat and allows users to capture time-lapse videos which can be shared easily online. SKS will also bring steam functionality to a pro induction range at IBS 2025. Engineered to meet the growing consumer interest in electric cooking, this new 36-inch range is the first to combine the most powerful induction burner element available on a 36-inch professional-style induction range* and a 6.3-cubic-foot steam-combi oven.
