Company profile
researched Sep 2026Kitchenery is a Tampa, Florida-based developer of high-power wireless energy transfer technology for kitchen appliances. Its core product is the Quantum Energy Pad, a countertop power surface that identifies a compatible appliance placed on it and delivers power through the surface during use, removing the need for an appliance power cord or an onboard rechargeable battery. The pad is also designed as a hybrid surface that can act as an induction cooktop for induction-compatible cookware. The company describes the approach as wireless phone charging scaled up, with a single coil that switches between frequencies to power electronics, drive motors and heat cookware from one surface.
Two appliances are being built around the pad: the Perfect Pour Kettle, a cordless kettle with temperature control, a real-time temperature display and controlled pouring, and the Silent Blender, positioned as a full-size countertop blender for smoothies, frozen ingredients, ice, sauces, dips, purées and meal prep with quieter operation, rather than a small battery-powered travel blender. Both require the Quantum Energy Pad to operate. Earlier coverage described the induction pad as installable into a kitchen counter or island, with cordless, stackable appliances aimed at space-constrained kitchens in RVs and tiny homes.
Alongside consumer products, Kitchenery offers wireless-power integration services to appliance brands and manufacturers, covering receiver integration, controls, power conversion, thermal behavior and appliance-level validation, plus DFM/DFA support for production. The company states that U.S. Patent No. 12,603,526 was granted on April 14, 2026 and is assigned to Kitchenery Inc., and that production products are being developed against applicable U.S. and international safety, EMC and RF requirements, with final certification status product-specific and pending completion of testing.
Founding story
Co-founder and CEO Akshay Bhuva, a mechanical engineer, began working from home and used his kitchen more, experiencing firsthand the problems he cites for the category: countertop clutter, a lack of nearby power outlets and safety issues such as electrical fires. He also argues that induction cooking, with precise temperature control, is 40% more efficient than gas and electric cooking. Kitchenery was accepted into the University of Tampa's Lowth Entrepreneurship Center in 2021.
Business model
Kitchenery plans to sell a consumer ecosystem in which a single Quantum Energy Pad is required for its compatible appliances, creating attach sales of the kettle and blender to the pad. In parallel it offers paid integration work to appliance brands and manufacturers seeking to embed its wireless-power receiver architecture into their own products. An investor testimonial on the company's site also cites potential SaaS models based on appliance data collection and analysis.
Hardware sales of the Quantum Energy Pad and companion appliances, with an initial consumer launch planned through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign offering early-bird pricing, complemented by business-to-business wireless-power integration programs with appliance manufacturers.
Traction
Kitchenery has a granted U.S. patent and a working Quantum Energy Pad control-panel prototype exposed interactively on its website, with product delivery indicated for December 2026 and a Kickstarter campaign pending. It was accepted into the University of Tampa's Lowth Entrepreneurship Center in 2021, went through a Techstars accelerator sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker, and was selected for the SKS 2024 Startup Showcase. As of the 2022 press report, the team numbered 12 and planned an initial manufacturing run of 200 units for pilot testing with RV companies, tiny-home builders and OEMs.
Latest developments
The company reports U.S. Patent No. 12,603,526 granted April 14, 2026 to Kitchenery Inc., and is preparing a Kickstarter campaign for the Quantum Energy Pad, Perfect Pour Kettle and Silent Blender, collecting early-access sign-ups and citing December 2026 delivery. Certification testing remains part of the ongoing product-development process.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Kitchenery was one of nine startups selected from more than 100 applicants for the Smart Kitchen Summit 2024 Startup Showcase in Seattle, presented as a wireless power transfer technology provider for the kitchen appliance industry. It has participated in the Florida Venture Forum and Space Florida pitch competition and a Techstars accelerator program sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker.
The company moves power into a shared countertop surface rather than into each appliance, so compatible appliances need neither their own cord nor an onboard rechargeable battery, and the same surface also supports induction cookware. It positions the Silent Blender as a premium full-size countertop unit rather than a compact battery-powered blender, and frames its integration offering as appliance-specific engineering rather than a generic charging module.
Technology
Inductive/high-power wireless power transfer in which a countertop pad identifies a compatible appliance and transmits power to it during use, with no appliance cord or rechargeable battery. A single coil switches between frequencies to power electronics, drive motors and heat cookware, enabling a hybrid surface that also functions as an induction cooktop. Engineering work covers receiver integration, controls, power conversion, thermal design and appliance-level validation. The company reports U.S. Patent No. 12,603,526, granted April 14, 2026, assigned to Kitchenery Inc., and an interactive live prototype of the Quantum Energy Pad control panel with standby, induction, kettle and blender modes.
Go-to-market
The consumer launch is being run as a Kickstarter campaign, with an email early-access list promising launch-day notification, Super Early Bird pricing and a VIP reward, and Instagram build content under the handle @kitcheneryinc. Earlier plans described piloting directly with RV companies, tiny-home builders and OEMs, with hotel chains and extended-stay rentals in the pipeline, plus pre-orders through an online store. A separate technology page solicits integration partnerships with appliance brands and manufacturers.
Consumers seeking countertop appliances without cords, and users of space-constrained kitchens such as RVs and tiny homes; on the business side, appliance brands, manufacturers and OEMs, with recreational and hospitality segments including hotel chains and extended-stay rentals identified as go-to-market targets.
Geography
Headquartered and engineering-based in Tampa, Florida, previously working out of the University of Tampa's Lowth Entrepreneurship Center; products are being developed against both U.S. and international safety, EMC and RF requirements.
History
After entering the University of Tampa's Lowth Entrepreneurship Center in 2021, Kitchenery participated in a Techstars accelerator program sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker and pitched at the Florida Venture Forum and Space Florida pitch competition. In 2022 it reported a 12-person team, work toward a $2 million pre-seed round and a Wefunder crowdfunding campaign, with plans to manufacture 200 pilot units by the first quarter of 2023. It was named a Smart Kitchen Summit Startup Showcase finalist in May 2024. Its U.S. patent was granted in April 2026, and the company subsequently shifted to a consumer launch of the Quantum Energy Pad, Perfect Pour Kettle and Silent Blender via Kickstarter, with delivery stated as December 2026.
Risks & controversies
Products are pre-launch: the Kickstarter campaign is listed as coming soon and the company states that certification testing is still part of product development, with final certification status to be confirmed per production model after testing. The kettle and blender cannot operate without purchasing the Quantum Energy Pad. Earlier manufacturing and pilot timelines cited in 2022 targeted the first quarter of 2023, ahead of the delivery date of December 2026 now shown on the site.
