Overview
- The new Emerson Smart lineup uses SmartVoice technology with built-in microphones and, on most models, speakers that respond to wake words for hands-free control.
- Products include tower fans, fan-heaters, smart plugs, and air fryers, each offering category-specific functions such as speeds, timers, heating modes, schedules, and grouping.
- The Verge reports pricing: fans at $89.99 (29-inch), $99.99 (40-inch), and $119.99 (42-inch); heaters at $129.99 (25-inch) and $169.99 (32-inch); plugs at $24.99 (single), $29.99 (dual), and $34.99 (dual with USB-A/USB-C); air fryers at $129.99 (5.3-qt) and $169.99 (10-qt).
- IAI Smart says the devices require no app, Wi‑Fi, or hub, with all voice processing kept on the device to keep user data in the home.
- The products are being demonstrated at CES 2026 (Venetian Expo, Booth #52808) and are available from Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, and the Emerson SmartVoice website.
