Dacor Spotlights Innovation & Personalization in the Kitchen with New Debuts at KBIS 2021
The prestigious luxury home appliance brand builds on their distinguished portfolio of products with an enhanced line-up to their Transitional style and ventilation hoods, as well as a new Integrated Wine Dispenser

IRVINE, CA – February 9, 2021 –  Dacor, the leading American luxury kitchen appliance brand, today announced the debut of new appliance offerings during the 2021 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), which is taking place virtually this year from February 9-11, 2021. This year’s line-up highlights the brand’s continued commitment in designing versatile appliance styles with customization offerings and innovative technology providing designers with bespoke products that enhance the kitchen experience.

Throughout Dacor’s 55-year tenure, the brand has remained not only an essential counterpart to the design community but has also evolved with the industry by creating multi-functional appliances that allow for a new level of quality, flexibility and personalization. The debut of their Transitional Style of cooking appliances, a combination of core design elements from the existing Contemporary and Professional products, expanded their distinguished portfolio of products to suit all kitchen designs, satisfying the needs of both consumers and designers. These latest introductions and new offerings reflect the ever-changing needs of the marketplace as well as demands of the home, which have evolved over the past year. At-home cooking was more prevalent than ever in 2020, and the kitchen has been transformed into a necessary sanctuary. This trend has further reinforced the need for appliances that are not only powerful and efficient, but also safe, smart and resilient for home cooks of every level, which Dacor has tapped into by integrating purposeful technology and connectivity across their illustrious portfolio with their SmartThings platform. 

“Dacor continues to be the leading-edge luxury appliance brand – unrivaled in today’s connected kitchen,” said Scott Davies, Director of Marketing at Dacor. “We saw in 2020 the importance on creating meaningful spaces within the home and that will continue on into 2021 and years to come. We listened, learned and at KBIS 2021 are introducing products that offer innovation and high-quality design without compromising on reliability, performance and excellence, while simultaneously championing the kitchen as a space that encourages connection for culinary and design enthusiasts alike.”  

Highlights and New Product Introductions at KBIS include:

• Dacor introduces the perfect complement to its ever-growing wine preservation systems, the Dacor 24” Integrated Wine Dispenser. This new platform for 2021 offers exceptional wine preservation and serving solutions, while integrating perfectly into any kitchen or home design.

Its multi-functional speed in the upper oven combines the power of a microwave and convection technology to enable searing, broiling and healthy frying. The Steam-Assist oven allows for meats that are juicy on the inside yet crispy on the outside. For faster cooking times and even distribution of heat, the convection speed oven uses a combination of microwave, convection and heating element with advanced cooking modes such as fry and Sense Cook to achieve the perfect outcome. The combination oven also allows multiple dishes to be cooked at once, knowing there will be zero flavor transfer while promoting precise distribution of heat using dual Four-Part Pure Convection. All of this power and cooking process is intuitively and effortlessly controlled by the digital, 7” LCD touch screen controller and SmartThings connectivity platf
