Shark Introduces AquaReach: A Wet & Dry Cleaner Designed for Whole‑Room Cleaning
Shark has expanded its floorcare portfolio with AquaReach, positioned as the industry’s first wet & dry cleaner built to clean beyond the floor. The model features an integrated extendable wand that allows users to tackle baseboards, windowsills, cabinet fronts and other above‑floor surfaces — widening the scope of what a wet & dry system can do.
AquaReach delivers two‑in‑one vacuuming and mopping on hard floors, combining debris pickup with wet cleaning in a single pass. The system also includes a Stain Scrubber for removing stuck‑on messes and a Detailer Mop designed for edges, corners and low‑clearance areas under furniture.
With this launch, Shark continues to push into multi‑surface cleaning solutions, reflecting a broader category trend toward whole‑room hygiene rather than floor‑only appliances

Electrolux has introduced a new generation of fridge‑freezers engineered to deliver quieter, smarter and more consistent food preservation — bringing advanced cooling intelligence into everyday kitchen design.
At the heart of the range is GreenZone+, a sealed, humidity‑controlled compartment that protects fresh produce by maintaining the ideal microclimate for fruits and vegetables. Working alongside it, AI CoolAssist learns each household’s usage patterns and automatically adjusts cooling performance to keep ingredients fresher for longer without any manual input.
The line also features the MultiChill 0° drawer, offering flexible temperature zones tailored to different food types — from meat and fish to delicate ingredients that benefit from precise chilling. Cooling 360° ensures uniform cold‑air circulation throughout the cabinet, maintaining consistent temperatures on every shelf and in every corner.
To complete the system, TwinTech technology keeps dry freezer air separate from the fridge compartment, helping food retain moisture, texture and freshness for longer periods.
Electrolux’s latest cooling platform blends intelligent automation with premium preservation performance — giving retailers a strong story around freshness, efficiency and design‑led Innovation.
