Sears said more than 40 Kenmore smart appliances have been
certified as Works with Alexa, meaning they meet Amazon.com's
(AMZN) criteria for responsiveness, reliability and
functionality.
"Kenmore, one of the major appliance brands sold by Amazon, now
has 46 appliances certified as Works with Alexa," Peter Boutros,
president of Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard brands and chief brand
officer for Sears, said Thursday. "This certification will provide
even more visibility for our brand on Amazon and at Sears."
Customers will be able to use voice commands via Alexa to
control their Kenmore appliances. Washing machines, dryers,
dishwashers and refrigerators are among the smart appliances that
can work with the Alexa home assistant, the company said.
