Miele Unveils Modular Outdoor Kitchen at IFA Berlin 2025

IFA Berlin 2025 has once again delivered a wave of innovation, and one standout reveal came from Miele: the brand’s first-ever outdoor kitchen, designed to bring premium performance and sleek modularity to open-air cooking.

Dubbed Dreams, the system is more than just a grill—it’s a fully customizable outdoor culinary setup. With modules that cover everything from grilling and cooking to cooling and storage, Miele’s outdoor kitchen is built to adapt to any space. Whether you’re working with a compact city balcony or a sprawling garden terrace, the layout can be tailored to fit your lifestyle.

🔧 Key Highlights:
– Fire Pro gas grill for high-performance outdoor cooking 
– Outdoor fridge—a first for Miele—designed to keep ingredients fresh in any climate 
– Modular units that combine seamlessly for personalized configurations 

This launch marks Miele’s entry into a new product category, and it’s clearly aimed at design-conscious consumers who want to extend their kitchen experience beyond the walls of their home.

Visitors at IFA can explore the setup in person, and Miele promises more details in the coming weeks. If outdoor entertaining is on your wishlist, this might be the inspiration you’ve been waiting for.

The partnership with ECOVACS is an important step for us in expanding our range of cleaning robots,” says Hendrik Kretzer, EVP Division Consumer Products of BSH Home Appliances Group. He adds: “We are convinced that the combination of our many years of experience in developing high-quality home appliances, our understanding of consumer needs, our technology and marketing expertise in the field of kitchen and built-in appliances, and ECOVACS’ innovative strength and technological expertise in robotics will create real added value for consumers. We are very much looking forward to working together and shaping the future of floor cleaning robots.”

David Qian Cheng, CEO of ECOVACS ROBOTICS, added: “ECOVACS’ mission is: Robotics for All.

This strong alliance is built on our shared understanding of consumer needs and commitment to high-quality products. These are two strong brands coming together who are leaders in their respective fields. ECOVACS remains dedicated to driving pioneering innovation across multi-category service robotics to better serve consumers worldwide.”

The first product to emerge from this partnership is the world’s first built-in vacuum and mopping robot from the Bosch home appliance brand, co-developed with and powered by ECOVACS robotics technologies. It is unveiled at the IFA trade fair and will be available in stores in Europe from spring 2026. It is the first system of its kind to be fully integrated into kitchen furniture. The full-service station is connected directly to the fresh water, wastewater and electricity connections and cleans both the robot and itself. From charging the robot to cleaning the service station, all processes take place invisibly behind the kitchen front. All the necessary modules fit into the sink cabinet, leaving enough space to accommodate standard waste disposal systems.

Electrolux Professional Group to streamline its operations

To strengthen future profitability and sharpen its competitive edge, Electrolux Professional Group is launching a series of cost-saving initiatives projected to deliver annual run-rate savings of approximately SEK 175 million by 2027, with SEK 80 million expected as early as 2026.

These measures will involve a one-time cost of around SEK 235 million, which will be reported as items affecting comparability in Q3 2025. The majority of the cash flow impact is anticipated in 2026.



Key Actions: Streamlining and Strategic Relocations

The cost-saving program will include operational streamlining across multiple countries and functions, alongside a strategic competence shift aimed at accelerating business development. Pending consultation with employee representative bodies, the following changes are under evaluation:

– Coffee Production: Relocation from Carros to Aubusson, France, impacting approximately 40 employees.
– Cooking Production: Relocation from Sursee, Switzerland, to other facilities—primarily Pordenone, Italy—affecting around 50 employees.

In total, around 350 employees may be impacted. However, the net reduction is expected to be closer to 200 roles, as new positions will be created to support the competence shift. Notably, about one-third of the SEK 235 million investment will fund this strategic shift, which, while not directly reducing costs, is designed to accelerate innovation and growth
