Brand new to the market, Hisense just released one of the most interesting induction ranges we've seen.
Released at CES 2026, Hisense has launched a totally new induction cooking range, all with an AI cooking assistant at the heart of each product. Now, if you know us at Tom's Guide, you know that we're big fans of induction cooking — and that's without the added convenience of artificial intelligence.
Not only are these products crafted to ensure super-precise cooking and temperature control, but they're designed to make cooking — whether for two or 12 — a whole load easier. The built-in AI assistant in this induction cooktop, otherwise known as the ConnectLife AI Cooking Agent, can be accessed through its intuitive touch display, which sits at the center stage of the unit.
Offering two cooking zones, the AI in this sleek unit is revolutionary in more ways than one — it won't only do the cooking and temperature adapting for you, but it shows recipes, can help with meal planning, and the best part: it displays step-by-step guidance for when you're cooking something completely out of your comfort zone.
About Hisense's new smart induction range
This slide-in induction range isn't just convenient to install, but its innovative features will bring a whole new world of benefits to the room you use the most in your home.
The handy addition of the ConnectLife AI Cooking Agent simulates the experience of having a chef in your kitchen, helping you cook, except without the extra two feet taking up floorspace, and the hefty daily price tag. This software will be especially useful when cooking for several mouths, as it takes the guesswork out of cooking pretty much anything and everything, and it adapts cooking temperatures and times on its own, meaning you'll be able to spend more time socializing with your guests. It also means you'll never have to search high and low for that specific recipe book that always makes its way to the very back of your pantry. It can access a library of recipes with the touch of your fingertip, and it'll even walk you through them on its hi-res display.
Let's talk about its exterior: it's 5.8 cu. ft. in total and wrapped in an anti-scratch coating. It boasts a slide-in design to fit seamlessly into your kitchen, and while its induction cooktop offers several cooking zones, it also has the technology to let you bridge two zones together to create one larger cooking area, should it be needed.
Interior-wise, there are two cooking zones in the oven, both of which are fitted with Rapid Oven Preheat Technology to speed up overall cooking time.
What else is new?
Also announced at CES 2026, Hisense is launching the S7 Smart Dishwasher, which, much like the induction range, features a touch display for full control. This dishwasher intelligently adapts based on its current load and how dirty your dishes are. It will adjust everything from water used to detergent, temperature, and cycle length, for the perfect clean. And at the end of its cycle? A Smart Dry system switches on the door fan to ensure you never need to hand-dry. Should you own other HiSense products, it will communicate with these to detect which recipes have been cooked, and alter cooking times accordingly.
Also part of the new AI range is the HiSense PureFit Refrigerator. Boasting an impressive 24” slim design, this refrigerator has convenience written all over it. Not only does it feature an antibacterial guard, banishing 99.9% of any bacteria that might form, but you can interchange its fridge and freezer zones to suit your weekly grocery shop. Revolutionary. ConnectLife also means you can remotely manage the contents of your fridge, adjust its temperature, and better yet? Check it's working as it should be, whether you're in the next room or the next continent.
