Midea’s new kitchen appliances are the first to use Ki wireless power

Midea is a member of the WPC and participated in the development of the Ki standard, so it makes sense that it would be one of the first companies to bring this technology to consumers. However, Midea hasn’t shared details on when the Celestial Flex Series will go on sale or how much the convenience of wireless power will add to the cost of these new kitchen appliances.
