Think, work, and act differently. Seek to uncover unique facets of consumers. Be a rebel force for good. Actively shape the culture around you. Do much more, with much less. Fail fast and learn. Work within constraints. Engage in the act of co-creation — with each other, with consumers. Our process allows us to:
ENGAGE
with early adopters, and create a forum for co-creation and feedback
TEST
potential products in new markets
BUILD
confidence that we’ve solved a unique pain point for consumers
Focused on making everyday life better, we do whatever it takes to bring innovative products to life for consumers. We recently brought the WLabs™ Smart Oven and Zera® Food Recycler to market and sold through our production runs.
WLABS™ SMART OVEN (SOLD OUT)
ZERA® FOOD RECYCLER (SOLD OUT)
Whatever you choose to dish out, our smart oven can take it. Bake it. Broil it. Roast it. Toast it. Reheat it. Proof it. Dehydrate it. Air fry it. Slow cook it. Convection cook it. Keep it warm. With 11 different cooking modes, anything you dream up, you can cook up.
The WLabsTM Smart Oven eliminates the guesswork by automatically identifying the type of food you’re making. It knows if something’s fresh or frozen1 and when to activate its built-in preheat. That means you’re going from a cold oven to a finished dish in one easy step. Best of all, the smart oven learns to cook everything just how you like it.
The smart oven has three unique cooking methods. Auto identifies a wide variety of fresh and frozen foods1, and sets the right time and temperature. Assisted selects the correct food, preferences and offers tips. Manual allows cooking with all 11 cooking modes.
