LG unveils its “table-type” air purifier at IFA 2022

Posted on by

LG is presenting its new air purifier, the PuriCare Objet Collection Aero Furniture, at IFA 2022. The new table-type model blurs the line between furniture and air purifier, offering a design that can be tailored to meet individual preferences, 360-degree air purification and user-friendly features. “The LG Aero Furniture – the company explains – has a relatively small size that makes it perfect for smaller spaces, such as a single bedroom, study or studio, while users can choose the color of the unit’s base (Crème Rose, Crème Yellow to Crème Grey) and the shape of its table-top (Round or Track) to suit their personal tastes or match their home décor”. The smooth upper surface of the new product provides a useful place for storing household items or displaying decorative objects. It also integrates convenient controls on its underside for powering the device on/off, and for managing its airflow modes and mood lighting features. Subtly positioned near the edge of the table-top, and flush with its surface, is a series of small indicators denoting Wi-Fi connectivity, air quality, air flow strength and upgrade status. Besides, the new Aero Furniture presents an array of features for a more personalized user experience. Users can charge their smartphones and wireless earbuds via the table-top’s built-in wireless charger and create a pleasing atmosphere with the mood lighting feature. Providing eight different colors to choose from, Aero Furniture’s mood lighting can be easily controlled using the LG ThinQ app. Furthermore, the air purifier is designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating components fabricated from reusable plastic harvested from old appliances and electronics products, and shipping in packaging made from reusable materials. Finally, the product improves indoor air quality thanks to the multi-stage filtration, which combines Ultra-fine Filter, Dust Collector Filter and Deodorization Filter. Users can also enjoy cleaner indoor air thanks to the UVnano technology, which reduces the presence of viruses and bacteria on and around the Aero Furniture’s fan blades by up to 99.99 percent.

AEG NEW EXTRACTOR HOBS

Posted on by

AEG launch two new extractor hobs: the 6000 Bridge with eXTractor and the 8000 Bridge/FlexiBridge with eXTractor, designed to bring freedom to kitchen planning, as people upgrade and make the cooking space more sociable. Located in the middle of the hob, the extractor fan is activated once a cooking zone is used, powerfully removing vapor quietly and quickly at the source. It filters and recycles the air back into the room and the breeze function ensures a fume-free kitchen after the cooking has been completed, by continuing to refresh the air.

Sauberair launches innovative air purifier disguised as a “work of art”

Posted on by

Measuring an ultra-thin 3.5 inches, the Suberair FLAT can remove 99.9% harmful smoke and particles, eliminating a wide range of pollutants with minimum power consumption, the company says. It also boasts an extended filter lifespan compared to conventional purifiers.

The application has built-in smart sensors to detect and monitor the indoor air quality, humidity and temperature, while users can check and modify the filtering mode on the app anytime, and from anywhere.

As well as purifying the air, the FLAT BT features an integrated Bluetooth speaker which has been optimised for maximum sound quality. Users can play music with these built-in stereo speakers or it can serve as a music wake-up alarm.

According to the brand, FLAT is also the world’s first scalable purifier – meaning that two can be connected together and controlled simultaneously. In addition, its appearance can be changed according to customers’ preferences so that it better suits their home’s interior design, Sauberair says.

Why buy a FLAT air purifier?
World Health Organization data has shown that almost the entire global population (99%) breathe air which exceeds the international organisation’s guidelines for pollutants. This is not only happening in low- and middle-income countries, but also in the cities of developed nations. Air pollution is responsible for an estimated 7.4 million deaths every year, Sauber points out.

Problems with the air purifiers on the market
The business model of traditional air purifiers is ultimately built around selling filters, not the appliances themselves. Moreover, the filters’ lifespan is usually relatively short with replacement alerts based on the usage time, not the actual filter clogging rate. This is unscientific, the company says. Also, expensive filters dissuade consumers from replacing it when their time is up, which ultimately reduces its overall filtration effectiveness.

With its unique design, FLAT is much more efficient and effective than other models, identifying airflow passing through the filter, and alerting the user to when the filter should be changed, says Sauber.

Finally, FLAT has obtained invention patents in many countries and won The Made-in-Taiwan Golden Select Award, presented by the Taiwan Industry Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, with the highest score from the jury.

Falmec Elements collection

Posted on by

Elements collection by Falmec becomes part of a modular, multifunctional architecture that is totally integrated into the kitchen. The “Elements” concept is expressed in different solutions designed to adapt to the multiple needs and types of installations in the kitchen. The range includes three new models: Monolith, Shelf and Air Wall.

Monolith is an element with a precious design, placed on the worktop, designed to meet the various needs in the kitchen, in a refined way. The system consists of a 90 cm suction element and accessory container modules – which can be placed on the right or left – of 30, 60 or 90 cm, which allow a functional and personalized set-up.

Shelf looks like a real suction shelf. Thanks to the exclusive Multi-Air technology, the suction body is extremely thin and incorporated into a shelf structure of only 10 cm, equipped with a removable cover, to increase suction capacity. The “hood” element can be enriched with additional modules of 60 and 90 cm, which can be positioned to the right or left of the extractor body to configure different furnishing compositions by creating a hanging system, which opens up new open design spaces.

Finally, Air Wall vertically integrates the extraction in an exclusive backlit white tempered glass panel, transforming the back of the kitchen into a functional surface, which sucks in the fumes and at the same time illuminates the space with a pleasant ambient light. The magnetic system of the panel also allows you to add functional accessories, which are also magnetic – such as tablet supports, spice racks and shelves – which allow the user to place them anywhere on the surface

Faber launches the K-LINK technology

Posted on by

Faber’s K-LINK technology creates a smart connection between induction hob and hood through an integrated system that works with radio waves. Thanks to a simple gesture, hob and hood are connected and communicate with each other, allowing a continuous flow in the preparation of the recipes, without having to stop to set the power of the hood based on that of the hob. The system, always active because the radio signal is never interrupted (not even in the presence of dirt residues on the hob), guarantees the perfect functionality of the hood, at the same time avoiding the waste of energy and decreasing the excess of noise that can occur by setting the suction at an excessive level compared to the fumes produced. There are several models featuring this technology, such as the ceiling hoods Heaven 2.0, Heaven Glass 2.0 Flat, Heaven Light Pro and Heaven Air.

Using the tangential ventilation of the appliance, the air to be purified is sucked through a series of holes specially placed on the rear side of the oven.

2) Once inside, the air is conveyed to the upper side and channeled through a double beam of germicidal ultraviolet light, emitted by two UV-C LED plates; the germicidal ultraviolet light modifies the DNA or RNA of the microorganisms it irradiates, preventing them from reproducing or being harmful to humans.

3) Purified from harmful substances and bad smells, the air is reintroduced into the environment through the slot located on the front of the oven, between the door and the front controls.

The system can be activated in a simple and intuitive way on the different types of oven that provide it, but only when the appliance is not engaged in a cooking phase. It can work for time intervals between 2 and 8 hours, with waste of one hour, depending on the size of the environment to be purified

The Zefiro system transforms the oven into a real air sanitizer, capable of improving the quality of life inside the rooms of the house by performing a complete set of functions:

It purifies the air from viruses and bacteria, sanitizing the rooms and making them safer.
It helps to remove bad smells from the kitchen environment, being able to work simultaneously with the hood, speeding up operations.
By requiring the use of only tangential ventilation, and thanks to the automatic shutdown of the oven interior light when the sanitization is in operation, consumption is so reduced as to allow frequent and prolonged use of the system.
