KitchenAid and Corkcicle partner to design an exclusive refrigerator and drinkware collection powered by KitchenAid® Intelligent Auto Fill technology

Quick Facts:

Product: The MindFULLness Fridge powered by Intelligent Auto Fill
Prize: Five fridges and co-branded drinkware sets
Sweepstakes Duration: Oct 19 – Nov 15, 2026
Entry: www.KitchenaidxCorkcicleSweeps.com
Featured Influencer: Radhi Devlukia, wellness expert & NYT bestselling author

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From back-to-back meetings to endless to-do lists, all too often the only break people get in a day is the moment they stop to fill their water bottle. It's this insight that inspired a partnership between KitchenAid and Corkcicle to turn every refill into a reset through the exclusive MindFULLness Fridge powered by Intelligent Auto Fill and capsule collection of co-branded drinkware, launching today.

Wellness expert and New York Times bestselling author Radhi Devlukia has partnered with KitchenAid and Corkcicle to bring her philosophy of mindful living to the kitchen. Through curated recipes and rituals, Devlukia champions intentional living and mindful wellness practices.

"We all fall into the trap of moving on autopilot from one task to the next," explained Lexie Winter, brand manager for KitchenAid. "We launched The MindFULLness Fridge to make the time in between tasks count. We're excited to showcase how Intelligent Auto Fill can transform an everyday habit into an intentional break."

"KitchenAid and Corkcicle have a shared commitment to designing and engineering premium, beautiful products that elevate the consumer experience," added Kevin Sulaiman, head of brand for KitchenAid Major Appliances. "This strategic collaboration unites our philosophies to deliver a truly unique experience."

The campaign will launch with The MindFULLness Fridge, a limited run of never-before-seen refrigerators powered by Intelligent Auto Fill that will be awarded to five lucky winners through a national sweepstakes. The MindFULLness Fridge experience is activated when the co-branded drinkware is placed under the dispenser. As it fills hands-free, a guided meditation animates on the high-resolution display and is coincided by breath-synced lighting and cadenced chimes to create a multi-sensory mindfulness moment that invites users to find a pause in every pour.

Intelligent Auto Fill Innovation

Intelligent Auto Fill, the innovation behind The MindFULLness Fridge, introduces the next generation of water dispensing technology. It uses a camera and AI-powered sensor technology to detect when a container is placed below the water dispenser and automatically fills it hands-free. The dispenser is thoughtfully designed to fit extra tall bottles and wide containers.

KitchenAid and Corkcicle created a capsule collection of co-branded drinkware designed to coordinate with premium KitchenAid® appliance finishes and mixed metal accents to highlight the Intelligent Auto Fill innovation and extra-tall dispenser.

The collection includes:

40-ounce Cruiser
20-ounce Sport Canteen
16-ounce Mug

Each available in three colorways:

Juniper with Bronze Accents
Porcelain White with Brass Accents
KitchenAid Signature Red with Stainless Steel Accents

"Our partnership with KitchenAid brings together thoughtful innovation and beautiful design, with a custom collection of tumblers and bottles designed to fit perfectly and fill seamlessly with their new refrigerator. It's a simple way to make life a little easier and give people a moment to breathe," said Ben Hewitt, CEO of Corkcicle.

Radhi Devlukia brings mindfulness to the collaboration

KitchenAid partnered with wellness expert and New York Times bestselling author, Radhi Devlukia to bring intentional mindfulness practices to everyday moments. An advocate for mindful living, Devlukia shares recipes and rituals that encourage intentional living. She believes that small, purposeful moments, even something as simple as pausing to fill your water bottle, can transform how you feel for the rest of the day.

"I've always believed that nourishment goes beyond what we consume. It's also about the intention we bring to each moment," said Devlukia. "Both Corkcicle and KitchenAid transformed something we use every day like a fridge or water bottle into a product that we can use to reset and have a moment of reflection during our busy days."
