Dreame Technology debuts at IFA 2024

Dreame Technology, a leading brand in the smart cleaning industry, appeared at the 2024 IFA exhibition. At this exhibition, Dreame Technology released two flagship new products and four industry-first technologies, painting a vision of the future smart home for users.
As a global technology company, Dreame Technology has always actively listened to consumers, met user needs, created value for users’ lives, and launched industry-leading products. In the process of achieving this goal, Dreame Technology is committed to continuously promoting the development of the smart cleaning appliance industry and bringing a worry-free and convenient cleaning experience to users around the world.released new products: the Dreame sweeping robot L40 Ultra and the Dreame smart floor scrubber H14 Pro, and released four industry-first technologies: bionic dual mechanical feet high obstacle crossing technology, self-lifting panoramic lidar technology, hybrid full-scene zero-entanglement dual roller brush technology, and all-round ultra-thin water drainage space station technology.The obstacle height that traditional sweeping robots can overcome is usually around 2cm, which results in a reduction in the cleaning area due to the inability to climb over obstacles, or the body is stuck on the threshold and hangs in the air. The bionic dual mechanical foot high obstacle crossing technology developed by Dreame doubles the radius of the wheel through the hub motor system and the double-section swing arm system to support the machine, greatly improving the obstacle crossing performance. It can easily cross the steps, thresholds and obstacles at home, cope with complex terrain and scenes, and effectively solve the user cleaning pain points in segmented scenesThe self-elevating panoramic laser radar can automatically identify low spaces and actively lower the laser radar to lower the height of the fuselage, so that it can easily enter the bottom of the furniture for cleaning, solving the problem of cleaning dead corners. After cleaning the low space, it identifies the open area and the laser radar automatically rises. In addition, Dreame’s first hybrid double roller brush system with rubber brush + rubber bristle combines the advantages of both, covering carpets, floor gaps, and tiles. It is excellent in carpet cleaning, floor dust, and floor gap cleaning.Dreame Technology also demonstrated the industry’s cutting-edge floor scrubber technology, launched an all-purpose ultra-thin water supply and drainage space station, subverted the maintenance-free cleaning form, realized automatic water addition + high-pressure sewage discharge, and pioneered surge wall scraping to scrape off stubborn stains at corners and thoroughly clean the sewage tank. The maintenance-free experience of the floor scrubber has been upgraded to the 2.0 era, which saves space, has zero blockage, and is truly maintenance-free, providing a worry-free experience of “pick it up and use it, put it down and don’t worry about it”.

BSH presents the first Matter-compatible home appliance

BSH will be the first manufacturer in the world to bring a Matter-compatible home appliance to the market in early 2025. At the gigantic BSH stand at IFA 2024 a built-in XXL fridge-freezer combination was presented, which will be distributed under both the Bosch and Siemens brands.

The new Matter connection standard will enable simple and fast networking in the future not only between the group’s appliances but with all models that have been or will be put on the market by manufacturers adhering to this standard (almost all leaders) with great advantages for everyday use. Matter-compatible devices can be controlled via various apps and technologies, actively or automatically and self-controlled in the background. BSH is therefore actively positioning itself for the smart home of the future.Home Connect has been a leader in IoT solutions for the kitchen and home for a decade. At IFA, BSH is celebrating this anniversary with new functions that promote sustainability and ease of use. One of these functions is Smart Start, which automates the operation of household appliances based on the highest share of renewable energy in the power grid or electricity prices. For consumers who do not yet use dynamic electricity tariffs, BSH has partnered with the green electricity supplier Tibber to offer discounted tariffs and thus promote the use of renewable energies.

Additionally, consumption statistics provide consumers with an overview of their water and electricity consumption. The Consumption Forecast feature shows the expected energy and water consumption based on the selected program, so consumers can make informed decisions about their energy consumption. The Care Dashboard helps them monitor the condition of their devices, identify maintenance needs early and address them directly to ensure optimal.

Samsung is also offering users greater control and accessibility benefits. For example, Samsung has developed and implemented an automatic door opening feature on select models of washing machines and refrigerators, so users can open the doors with a light touch . A recent update allows you to open the door simply by saying “Open the refrigerator door,” even without a wake-up command like “Hey Bixby.”

Ensure energy savings
Samsung continues to prioritize energy efficiency in its products and leverages AI to do so, whether it’s in appliances like refrigerators and washing machines or to unlock the potential of the SmartThings ecosystem to help save energy. Samsung’s AI Hybrid refrigerators are designed to save energy. By combining two energy sources, a compressor and Peltier cooling technology, the refrigerator intelligently responds when more energy than usual is being used. For example, if the refrigerator door is left open for a longer period of time, Peltier technology works as an additional cooling source to improve overall energy efficiency.

LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its latest lineup of home appliances boasting industry-leading energy efficiency. Designed in response to the European Union’s ongoing efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and aligned with the REPowerEU plan to reduce EU member countries’ dependency on fossil fuels, the new appliances leverage LG’s advanced core technologies to provide superb performance with reduced power consumption.
LG’s latest washing machine and dryer set new standards for energy efficiency. The washing machine is able to perform a new drum motion that helps deliver clean laundry while minimizing the energy consumption of its Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive (AI DD™) motor.

Additionally, LG’s new washing machine comes with a Microplastic Care cycle that reduces the shedding of microplastics from laundry,2 as well as the ezDispense™ feature, which automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for each load.

Meanwhile, the efficient, new dryer has an A+++-26 percent energy rating.3 Both of LG’s latest laundry appliances are equipped with AI-driven innovations; the washing machine’s AI DD motor and AI Wash feature offer enhanced fabric-sensing capabilities and strong performance, while the dryer’s AI Dry™ provides accurate moisture detection and optimal drying for a range of different materials and laundry items. The washing machine can also automatically set cycle and temperature options based on usage patterns and change the order in which cycles are displayed on the control panel (according to usage-frequency) for a more convenient user experience.

Refrigerators with High Efficiency and Premium Design
Offering the lowest energy consumption of any refrigerator currently on the market, the new LG bottom-freezer refrigerator has an A-25 percent energy rating4 and brings style to the kitchen with its premium flat door design.

Making life in the kitchen that much easier, LG’s InstaView technology lets users check on their meal’s progress without even having to open the door, helping to preserve the temperature inside the oven and prevent energy waste.

Incorporating the company’s power-saving Inverter Direct Drive Motor™, the new LG QuadWash™ dishwasher has an energy efficiency rating of A-20 percent.7 The dishwasher also enhances convenience with its Side Rack and 3rd Rack options, offering users the loading flexibility to accommodate a variety of different kitchenware.
