Midea Expands Into Whole-Home Appliance Leadership at KBIS 2026

ORLANDO, Fla.—Midea Group is making a major push to become a full-line home appliance leader in North America, unveiling an expanded portfolio of refrigerators, cooking appliances, dishwashers, and laundry solutions at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2026.

The brand’s most extensive French Door refrigerator lineup spans 30-, 33-, and 36-inch sizes in both standard and counter-depth formats, with OneTouch AutoFill™ and MaxSpace technology for optimized storage and convenience. Midea also introduced garage-ready upright and chest freezers to cater to diverse household needs.

In cooking, Midea launched new four- and five-burner freestanding gas and electric ranges, alongside a slide-in range platform designed for modern kitchens. Its updated dishwasher features dedicated jets for reusable bottles and straws, plus a one-hour wash-and-dry cycle for busy households.

The laundry lineup includes top-load and front-load washers with PowerMix™ Spray and Flexi AutoDose™ for enhanced cleaning, paired with dryers using Multi-Sensor Dry technology to protect delicate fabrics. Midea also highlighted its EasySplit DIY mini-split AC system, which requires no ductwork or professional installation.

“KBIS 2026 marks a pivotal moment for Midea as we expand our full-home appliance offering to meet North American consumer demand for reliable, innovative, and value-driven solutions,” said a Midea executive. “Our focus is on delivering practical technology that fits seamlessly into daily life.”

The new Midea appliances will roll out across North America in the second half of 2026, with competitive pricing aimed at capturing share in the fast-growing mid-tier appliance market. Industry analysts note Midea’s aggressive expansion as it competes with established brands in the $100-billion North American home appliance sector.
