Sustainability and climate protection will dominate the presentation of the world’s leading manufacturer of premium domestic appliances at the IFA in Berlin. A keen focus will be on the new technologies and features with which Miele aims to protect the environment and support users in acting more responsibly. These will feature alongside clever innovations for creative cooking and lifestyle which are only available from Miele. The family-owned company will present More than 400 appliances at a their booth in Building 2.1, accompanied by inspirational live events and starred chefs-de-cuisine offering food to sample. Trade fair motto: ‘Discover quality ahead of its time. For a better tomorrow’.
A contribution towards reducing food waste comes for example in the form of new free-standing refrigerators from the K 4000 series with their innovative PerfectFresh Active system in which the combination of a temperature of around zero degrees with humidity and a fine mist of water keeps vegetables and fruit crisp and attractive for up to five times longer. In addition, further improved smart cooking assistants and recipe apps as well as intelligent energy management, ensure more sustainability in the household. And more new products at the IFA trade fair mainly focus on the kitchen, starting with a well-known, particularly tasty, nutritious, and healthy preparation method: steam cooking.
In this field, Miele is expanding a model range which is already more than impressive by adding further models both at the top and the bottom ends of the lineup. In concrete terms, these are steam ovens which combine an oven or wall oven with first-class specifications with a fully-fledged steam cooker. Firstly, Miele will be presenting new models with top features, such as improved cleaning convenience. Secondly, there will be a new entry-line model series which will reduce the starting price in this sought-after product category by around one-third, making cooking with steam more accessible to a larger target audience. Miele will also be presenting a new entry-level series of ovens, with a new design, significantly more features and offering better value for money. And, in the booming market for induction hobs with an integrated downdraught extractor, there will be new models at IFA which guarantee more efficient extraction than their predecessors – whilst at the same time being noticeably quieter. All models have been tested to last 20 years. For that reason alone, a decision for Miele is a contribution towards everyday sustainability.
LG Electronics will unveil its new WashTower™ Compact vertical laundry solution at IFA 2022. The new WashTower™ is a fully integrated model that combines a separate washer and dryer, all-in-one control panel and advanced AI in a single, space-efficient unit to deliver greater convenience.
Providing more flexibility for limited spaces, LG’s newest WashTower™ offers a compact design that is ideal for a one or two-member household. Compared to the larger 2020 WashTower™, the width and depth on the new compact model have been reduced. However, the washer and dryer still boast large capacities. The WashTower™ Compact also features a lower height that allows for comfortable and convenient access to the dryer, easier filter management, and the ability to install the unit in rooms with lower ceilings. Requiring less installation space than a stackable or side-by-side washer and dryer pair of the same capacity, the relatively small model frees up space in the kitchen or laundry room to conveniently store detergents, fabric softeners, and linen.
With a sleek design that brings a subtle, minimalist aesthetic, LG’s new all-in-one WashTower™ Compact can integrate seamlessly with any type of décor in the home. The Center Control™ located on the front of the unit in between the washer and dryer, lets users easily manage all settings and functions from one convenient place, providing an optimal laundry experience.
What’s more, the new WashTower™ model takes the user experience – and laundry results – to the next level with LG’s advanced laundry technologies. Employing the Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive™ (AI DD™), the washer is able to identify the most suitable washing pattern (drum motions, water temperature and wash cycle time) for each load, reducing fabric damage to help clothing last longer. Meanwhile, the Smart Pairing™ feature syncs the dryer with the washer and automatically selects the best drying cycle based on the washer load settings, saving users time and offering the ultimate convenience. An excellent performer all-around, the LG WashTower™ Compact helps cut down on washing times with TurboWash™ 360, offering an effortless laundry experience.
“Boasting a more compact, streamlined design that offers more flexibility for small spaces, along with LG’s latest AI-based laundry technologies, the WashTower™ Compact delivers an exceptionally convenient user experience,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to listen to consumers and meet their diverse and evolving needs by developing smart tech and design-forward appliances for a better life at home.”
LG will be showcasing its latest innovations, including the new WashTower™ Compact at its exhibition booth (Hall 18, Messe Berlin) during IFA 2022 (September 2-6) in Berlin, Germany.
AEG is presenting a new range of refrigerators at the IFA. The innovative series includes a fridge that can reduce food waste by up to 20% and uses recycled plastic for the interior.
According to the manufacturer, the new range consumes up to 20% less CO2 emissions than previous ones. In addition, more than 80% of the materials can be recycled . “This makes the new series one of the most sustainable that is currently available on the market ,” says AEG.
“Food waste affects us all. 30% of CO2 emissions come from food production . A third of all food ends up in the garbage , around 60% of people throw away food at least once a week.That’s why we put the design sketches aside and started with the global problem. In doing so, we have succeeded in developing a range of refrigeration appliances that can help to reduce food waste, preserve food longer and reduce energy consumption and therefore costs,”
three models 6000 TwinTech® NoFrost, 7000 GreenZone and 8000 Cooling 360° are part of an integrated range of cooling devices designed to ensure greater sustainability.
Beko says its innovative AquaTech technology offers reliable cleaning without costing the earth, with the highest energy efficiency rating and up to 20% less power consumption compared to similar capacity models. Beko‘s new washing machines leverage advanced technology to bring all the power and performance one would expect from the brand, but with low power consumption.
There are two new models in the line-up – the B5WFU58418W and B5WFT89418W – each featuring AquaTech and SteamCure technology. Both appliances can also be controlled through the company’s HomeWhiz app.
Wash laundry quickly and gently thanks to AquaTech With AquaTech, Beko says it relies on the natural power of water to clean laundry quickly, thoroughly and gently. Water and detergent are already mixed in the designated compartment. The mixture is then powerfully poured from above, like a waterfall, so laundry soaks faster and is washed more thoroughly, Beko explains.
In addition, the wash cycle alternates between rotating and intensive rinsing. This allegedly reduces the number of drum cycles by up to 75%, which in turn lowers both the duration and stress being put on the textiles by up to 50%, Beko adds.
Meanwhile, the machine’s ProSmart Inverter Motoroffers low power consumption, low noise levels and ensures a longer service life thanks to its brushless motor design.Stains and wrinkles don’t stand a chance with SteamCure SteamCure technology can help remove stubborn stains while being gentle on clothes. SteamCure Hygiene+, the water can be heated to 60°C, which reduces common household allergens** by up to 99.9 percent. Washing machines equipped with SteamCure are therefore perfectly suited to people who suffer from allergies.
First-class washing With a capacity of 8 or 9kgs and 15 or 14 programmes to choose from, Beko’s range is designed for small households or larger families. Using Bluetooth, both washing machines can be conveniently controlled via the HomeWhiz app. Eight (B5WFU58418W) or seven (B5WFT89418W) additional functions can be selected.
The app also helps choose the right washing programme. Users enter the type of textile and stain, the degree of soiling and colour of the laundry before receiving a tailored programme recommendation
