Casarte fusion washing + care machine, designed for luxury items, offers a four-in-one solution for air-washing, water-washing, and heat pump drying for 7-10kg loads. Aiming to provide proactive washing services, the built-in sensor of Casarte fusion washing + care machine activates the device at users’ approach and automatically sets up the procedures throughout the washing and drying according to clothes material identified by the machine.
The Leader 2 washing machine comes with an AI backed virtual laundry assistant able to make recommendations on fabric care and laundry settings. Furthermore, it remains operational without access to the Internet, making it an independent, intelligent terminal. With ultimate level of anti-mold and 3D-shower washing technology, it prevents the growth of mildew and bacteria from achieving the ultimate clean wash.
U+ App: a mobile app developed for the washing machine, users can get access to the information on water quality and water temperature in the region. The material and brand of the clothes can be recognized by the machines, customizing washing solutions for the user based on the density and brand of the washing liquid.

Connected Appliances for a Future of Smart Interaction

By compiling multifaceted resources about clothing brand and washing products, our products can provide users with all-around solutions for washing, protection, storage, clothes pairing, and purchase”, said the relevant responsible person.

Posted on by

Electrolux presents the new PerfectCare washing machines with the new AutoDose technology that allows you to carry out thirty washes without the need to add detergent or fabric softener, because the washing machine will take care of delivering the required amount independently based on the load.The drawer dedicated to detergents ensures great flexibility thanks to four large compartments – two automatic and two manual – easy to fill and clean.
After selecting the washing program, the AutoDose technology calculates the perfect amount of detergent and / or useful softener based on the laundry loaded. This avoids unnecessary detergent and water waste during the rinsing phase, ensuring significant energy savings and unique protection for the fabrics.Furthermore, the settings of the AutoDose drawer can be configured and managed remotely, with smartphones and tablets, through the My Electrolux Care App , receiving personalized notifications. The application also allows you to set, start and monitor washing cycles with extreme flexibility.To keep garments always soft and protected, paying the utmost attention to each individual fiber and fabric, Electrolux uses the most advanced technologies. The special SensiCare System sensors automatically adjust the washing settings, guaranteeing water, energy and time savings. While, for always brilliant colors, wash after wash, the innovative Ultra-Care technology pre-mixes detergent and softener with water, before they come into contact with the clothes in the basket, activating their cleaning power. The special Vapor PRO systemit also uses steam to stretch fabrics and eliminate creases: fibers are refreshed, odors disappear and garments remain fresh and easy to iron. Numerous special programs are available to offer the best washing performance, such as Denim, developed to minimize fading of denim garments. Reaching a maximum of 40 ° C and with delicate movements of the basket, this cycle does not stress the fibers and avoids ruining their appearance and texture.

Enric Tria has been appointed new general manager of the Taurus Group for Europe, a position he has held since June 1, 2019 reporting to the CEOs, and from which he will contribute to the consolidation of the Taurus Group, as a benchmark in the PAE sector . Currently a member of the Taurus Group Management Committee, he joined the company in 1996, developing several positions in the commercial area since then until his appointment as commercial director in 2009, contributing to the important international development of the Group.

One of the main objectives set in this new stage is to consolidate the positioning of the company as one of the driving forces of technological innovation in the sector, turning Taurus into intelligent purchasing. A clear example of this strategy is the imminent launch of Mycook Touch Black Edition, a limited edition of its star kitchen robot. This launch will be supported by a 360 communication campaign, which will include TV and online media campaigns.

Taurus Group is a multi-local corporate group in expansion, comprising 16 brands.

It all began in 1962 when two entrepreneurs from a small town in the Pyrenees started making coffee grinders and hairdryers in a garage. Fifty years later, Taurus has consolidated itself as market leader in Spain for small household appliances, as a result of a large scale national and international expansion process

The following brands are marketed by the Taurus Group: Taurus, Turmix, Casals, Winsor, Minimoka, Taurus Professional, Solac, Mallory (Brazil), Práctika (Peru), Inalsa (India), Mellerware and Lucky (South Africa), Alpatec and White&Brown (France).

LG Styler

Posted on by

LG Electronics’ garment care system Styler has been gaining rapid popularity in Japan, with its sales in that country having jumped 50 percent over the past year, the company said Friday.

The achievement is considered notable, given that Japanese consumers have a reputation for not using products made by foreign companies, according to the firm.

Released in the Japanese market in 2017, the LG Styler has been sold at about 900 stores, including Tokyo Bic Camera.

Sales of the project as of May surged 50 percent from a year earlier, while annual sales in 2018 doubled compared to the previous year.

The steam clothing care system has been well-received in the Japanese business-to-business market as well, the Korean tech giant said, noting it supplied the products to about 700 rooms at Henn na Hotel.

The firm said Japanese consumers have been especially fascinated by a pollen removal feature of Styler as the number of pollen allergy sufferers in that country has continued to increase year after year.

A dehumidification feature of the product has also attracted Japanese consumers as the humidity is high in summer in Japan, and makes clothes damp.

“We will increase our marketing activities in Japan so more consumers in the Japanese market can experience the distinguished value of Styler,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, who heads the living appliance division at LG Electronics.

LG Electronics released Styler in Korea in 2011 after nine years of development.

The firm, which holds 181 global patents regarding the product, has released the product in about 10 countries including the United States, China, Germany and Japan since then.

LG Styler is designed to refresh clothes without chemicals, providing an ideal method for clothes that require extra special care such as coats and sweaters and items made of wool or silk.

Unlike typical washing machines, the one-of-a-kind Styler does not clean clothes with water, but with steam. With the touch of a button, hot steam is sprayed directly onto the clothes to eliminate more than 99 percent of the germs and bacteria that infest clothes, hats and scarves.

The “Moving Hanger” feature shakes the clothes through the steam at 220 revolutions per minute to reduce odors and wrinkles.

Other convenience-enhancing features include Wi-Fi compatibility, which allows customized cycles to be downloaded to a smartphone from the internet. Furthermore, the Styler can send push notifications to customers’ smartphones and display information on how much energy is being used.
