HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- This summer is set to be a scorcher with the Old Farmer's
Almanac predicting above average temperatures for many parts of the
U.S. To help cope with the unseasonably warm weather, Americans can
rely on the Kenmore brand's new line of smart room air conditioners
to keep homes cool and comfortable, while helping save money and
energy.
Using a wireless Internet connection, the Kenmore Elite Smart
Room Air Conditioners allow users to adjust home temperatures from
a mobile device* using the Kenmore mobile app. The easy-to-use app
provides access to monitor efficiencies, turn units on and off and
even set schedules for up to seven days. The smart technology
integrates wireless capabilities to provide the flexibility to
operate the air conditioner whenever needed from almost anywhere,
which can lead to energy and cost savings on utility bills.
"Kenmore is a trusted American legacy brand, woven into the
fabric of our American home lifestyle. At Kenmore, we consistently
strive to improve the lives of our members through stress-free
solutions to every day issues," said Tom
Park, president of Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard brands at
Sears Holdings. "With rising temperatures around the country, the
Kenmore brand's smart room air conditioner line will make
homeowners' lives easier and more cost-effective by giving them
control from their mobile device."
The Kenmore app is designed to be sleek and intuitive, providing
users with peace-of-mind and features that can help save time,
energy and money.
- Control on-the-Go: The ability to remotely turn the unit
on and off, set a schedule or adjust the temperature provides
flexibility to control home climates from anywhere. Use the 24 hour
timer to set a schedule to run the units only when needed, or turn
the air conditioner on before arriving home to ensure a comfortable
temperature upon arrival.
- Energy Savings: The Kenmore Elite Smart Room Air
Conditioners are ENERGY STAR® certified and feature
smart technology that allows for easy access and scheduling to run
the unit only when needed, helping to save energy and money on
utility bills.

sizes from 8,000 BTUs to 25,000 BTUs, these Kenmore Elite Smart
Room Air Conditioners help cool medium to large rooms, from 340 to
