The appliances of today bear little resemblance to their counterparts from even a few decades ago. Electronics have found their way into every function of modern appliances to power the host of new features consumers expect. Microcontrollers and sensors from Freescale keep up with the demands for constant improvements in reliability, cost and energy efficiency.

A Smart survey carried out and we found that more than half of the consumers surveyed would rather see technology make their home lives simpler than provide more information at work. Freescale is helping simplify consumers' lives with home appliances: electric and gas cooking, dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers, washers and dryers and vacuum cleaners.
