A new generation of built-in refrigeration appliances, SimpliCare laundry care solutions, and the Retro Line collection: Gorenje presents at IFA Berlin 2026 products developed to make everyday activities simpler, more intuitive and more efficient.

Gorenje, one of Europe’s leading home appliance manufacturers, presents at IFA Berlin 2026 the brand’s newest solutions for the kitchen and clothing care. The innovations on display combine technologies developed around consumers’ real needs, while maintaining a simple design and an intuitive user experience.

Among the main novelties are the new generation of built-in refrigeration appliances, the SimpliCare washing and drying platform, with solutions dedicated to footwear care as well, and the expansion of Retro Line, the small home appliance collection that blends vintage aesthetics with current technologies.

Independently confirmed performance for the new generation of refrigeration appliances

In the refrigeration category, one of the important products presented at IFA is the Gorenje NRKI517C62WF built-in fridge-freezer, which received a “Good (2.0)” rating in a test conducted by the independent German organization Stiftung Warentest.

With a total capacity of 252 liters, of which 176 liters for the fridge compartment and 76 liters for the freezer, the model integrates technologies designed for optimal food preservation and efficient use of space.

These include NoFrost Dual, with two separate cooling systems, MultiFlow 360°, for even distribution of cold air, and AdaptTech, which learns usage habits and helps maintain a stable temperature. The Smart Inverter compressor, the ZeroZone and CrispZone compartments with Humidity Control, and SuperSilent operation round out the product’s configuration.

In the Stiftung Warentest tests, the appliance achieved very good results for its low noise level, of 34 dB, temperature stability and cooling performance, confirming Gorenje’s focus on performance and comfort in everyday use.

SimpliCare extends laundry care to footwear as well

In the laundry category, Gorenje puts the spotlight at IFA on the SimpliCare range, developed, designed and produced in Europe. One of the main novelties is ShoeWash, a solution dedicated to washing footwear.

The ShoeWash accessory is used together with a special washing machine program, to protect both the footwear and the appliance. For dryers, Gorenje also offers a solution that keeps footwear in a stable position throughout the process, for gentle, efficient drying.

The platform also integrates technologies such as TotalFresh, which helps reduce moisture buildup inside the washing machine after the cycle ends, and NatureDry, which uses lower temperatures to protect the texture, colors and quality of fabrics.

For as simple a user experience as possible, Wash & Dry Sync enables communication between the washing machine and the dryer, while UltraClean (+), automatic hygiene functions and quick programs help reduce the effort and time needed for laundry care.

The platform’s design and functionality have been recognized through the German Design Award, the Red Dot Design Award and, previously, the IFA Innovation Award.

Retro style on the outside, current technology on the inside

Gorenje rounds out its presence in Berlin by expanding Retro Line, the small kitchen appliance collection built around the concept “The Look You Love. Upgraded Inside.”

The new range combines visual elements inspired by classic design with functionalities adapted to the contemporary lifestyle, giving consumers the ability to create a cohesive look in the kitchen without compromising on performance.

The collection includes a microwave oven, toaster, kettle, stand blender, blender, food processor and coffee grinder, covering a wide range of activities, from preparing breakfast and drinks to cooking and baking.

By combining nostalgic aesthetics with updated technology, Retro Line reflects Gorenje’s philosophy that home appliances need to fit both into how people live and into how they want their home to look.

From the independently confirmed performance of the new generation of refrigeration appliances, to the SimpliCare functions and the expressiveness of the Retro Line collection, the new products illustrate the same brand direction: relevant, easy-to-use technology that simplifies everyday activities.
