These days, consumers are taking stock of their homes and really craving spaces that serve their needs better than ever before. We’ve had the chance to figure out what really works and what doesn’t in the most used rooms in the house – our kitchens and bathrooms – and today’s brands are paying attention.

This year’s KBB Product Award winners include a curated mix of offerings that fulfill specific needs, provide more function and add a dash of beauty to our residences. Some of these innovations cater to the growing desire to entertain and cook at home, which may require more specialized appliances, and some are all about refreshing colors inspired by nature and a brighter outlook.

Kitchen Product of the Year: Fisher & Paykel’s Series 11 DishDrawer

Some of the winning products respond to the growing need for healthier and hygienic choices, and self-cleaning offerings are all the rage because they take the grunt work out of maintaining a home. And still others fulfill specific industry needs that weren’t being met before, providing solutions to everyday annoyances and offering major improvements.

We are delighted to announce the 2021 KBB Product Award winners. Our esteemed panel of judges – made up of renowned designers from the U.S. and Canada – chose our coveted Kitchen and Bath Product of the Year, as well as category winners in appliances, plumbing fixtures, surfacing, hardware and accessories and technology.
