Samsung family Hub

2023, Samsung Family Hub™ came back in a new shape and form, known as the Plus. The larger 32-inch display and the wide array of features were jam-packed with designers’ thoughtful and innovative ideas. The Bespoke 4-Door Flex™ Refrigerator with Family Hub™+ truly unveils new lifestyles that directly impact us in bigger and more ways.

Bigger screens mean greater attention to detail. For instance, the 32-inch display needed to be accessible to both children and wheelchair users, so the bottom portion of the display was positioned to be mindful of these users’ needs. The top of the display was raised, but the Accessible Screen feature lets users tap the home button twice to bring down the top portion of the screen. The panel surrounding the screen was carefully fitted to make sure the details on the edges were smooth. The mic at the bottom was also moved upwards so that every detail we need to see — or what we don’t — is precisely designed into the form.

Moreover, a wide variety of panel materials are available to choose from, allowing users to design a refrigerator that feels best to their touch. The satin glass is velvety in texture, offering both comfort and glow, while the glam glass brightens any environment with its high gloss surface. Metal embodies Millennial sentiments through a subtle, monotone finish. Panels are easily interchangeable so that a single refrigerator base can support a wide range of styles

Xiaomi new Mijia 400L refrigerator

Xiaomi continues to extend its home appliances product line with the launch of Mijia Italian Style 400L 3-door refrigerator
The Chinese consumer electronics and smart appliances maker, Xiaomi is known mostly for its advanced yet affordable smartphones. However, the company has been making major strides in the appliances market.

This year alone Xiaomi has already introduced two fridge models in China and now with the launch of its new 3-door refrigerator, the firm is again expanding its home appliances range.

Roomy AND compact

On the outside, the new Xiaomi Mijia Italian Style 400L Refrigerator boasts a pure white body with a streamlined ultra-modern design. On the inside, it provides ample storage space for refrigerated and frozen foods.

Thanks to its thin-walled foaming technology, the new fridge boasts a compact design while still maximizing its fresh storage capacity. While measuring just 600 x 635 x 1911 mm, the Mijia Italian Style 400L offers ample interior space -the refrigerator has a capacity of 252L and the freezer a capacity of 148L- without taking up a lot of space in users’ kitchens.

Apart from its clean exterior design, the new refrigerator is also well-organised on the inside with practical compartments and drawers to maximise its capacity. The appliance’s dual-layer freezer drawer allows for easy access to frozen items while its sealed independent variable temperature drawer offers three temperature modes, ensuring optimal conditions for preserving food.Xiaomi has packed its usual tech prowess into the new Mijia Italian Style 400L. The fridge comes equipped with a variable frequency compressor and fan combination as well as a dedicated temperature sensing device, a technology that monitors and maintain the appliance’s steady cooling temperatures and minimises temperature fluctuation.

Beyond its cooling capacity, the new fridge has been fitted with air circulation technology, preventing food from sticking together and preserving freshness. In addition, Xiaomi’s latest appliance features a silver ion antibacterial and deodorising module in the refrigeration area, which absorbs odours and keeps the refrigerator smelling fresh.

The new fridge was also built with energy efficiency in mind. Officially labelled with a second-level energy consumption rating, the Mijia Italian Style 400L consumes only 0.89 kWh of electricity per day. Moreover, the refrigerator operates quietly, with noise levels as low as 36 decibels addition to its high-tech functionality, the Mijia Italian Style 400L also fits into Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem, which includes robot vacuum cleaners, smart cameras, air fryers and blenders, and offers convenient connectivity.

To control the appliance, users have three options: they can control it using the touch panel presented on the fridge body, with the XiaoAI Assistant voice assistant using voice commands, or they can use the company’s Mi Home app from their smartphones.The launch of the Mijia Italian Style 400L comes after the appliance maker introduced its Mijia Side by Side 610L Ice Crystal White and MIJIA 540L refrigerators earlier this year, but these Xiaomi large appliances are only available in China. Although the firm’s products are already present in over 100 countries around the world, the company has not yet shared any plans for international distribution.

Based on the success Xiaomi products have found outside of their home market, it is not unlikely the that the company will look to bring its large kitchen appliances to international markets. In a recent statement, Ou Wen, Xiaomi’s General Manager for Western Europe, commented that “Xiaomi sometimes prioritises launching its new products in its home market before…other regions. This allows the company to generate initial feedback before launching the product globally.”

According to Canalys, Xiaomi ranks among the top 3 companies in the global smartphone market, in terms of smartphone shipments. The company’s AIoT (AI+IoT) platform has some 589.4 million smart devices connected to it.

World’s first fridge with 70% recycled plastic inner liners

The Electrolux Group has developed a new line of built-in refrigerators – the Electrolux 500-900 Series and AEG 5000-9000 Series – that we’re currently launching in Europe. The recent launches have inner liners made from 70% recycled plastic, which equates to 13% of the total plastic used in the refrigerator. We are the first in the world to incorporate this much recycled plastic into a refrigerator so it’s an important industry breakthrough.

The plastic is sourced from a specialty supplier that collects and refines plastic from discarded refrigerators in Europe. It is very important that we work with strong and reliable partners that can provide access to high-quality recycled materials.

The range has been well received at fairs such as IFA in Berlin as the industry sees the product as being concrete proof that we take sustainability seriously.

How have consumers responded to the inner liners made from recycled plastic?

Consumers have responded very positively to the inner liners, and they perceive the gray shade of plastic as being more premium than standard white liners. They favor products made from recycled materials and our research has shown they want this kind of refrigerator with recycled materials.

How do our built-in fridges help retain nutrients and avoid food waste?

The recent launches have an innovative GreenZone crisper drawer to keep fruit and vegetables fresh. They are offered in two versions – one with a manual vent that consumers can open or close depending on how full the drawer is and an automatic version. The automatic crisper has a membrane that allows ingredients to breathe by regulating and optimizing humidity.

Third-party studies have shown that our GreenZone crisper drawer can retain 95% of the vitamin C in blueberries after 11 days. None of our competitors use this kind of innovative membrane so it is a clear competitive advantage for us.

The recent launches also use innovative cooling technology that keeps the temperature stable to help ingredients last longer. One of the solutions is Cooling 360, which maintains a more stable temperature distribution, to preserve food for longer by avoiding temperature shocks and stress on food. Our TwinTech® No Frost also keeps food hydrated with independent cooling systems for the fridge and the freezer parts.

What do customers think about these enhanced abilities to help preserve ingredients?

Consumers immediately understand the value to them – not only in terms of retaining the vitamins in their ingredients for their health, but also making ingredients last longer and ultimately helping them to avoid food waste. Importantly, consumers really value the third-party verified fact-based claims we make. At Electrolux Group we’re committed to help consumers live better, more sustainable lives in the home and this refrigerator line reflects that.

Consumers have shown increased interest in healthy eating, particularly since the pandemic, and we go beyond the standard refrigerator offering by helping them to maintain the vitamin content and quality of the food they eat. Also, people are becoming increasingly conscious of food waste and the materials that are used to manufacture their products.

Will they be launched in other markets in 2023?

Yes, as well as continuing to roll out these innovations across Europe in 2023, they are looking at launching in other regions, such as Asia Pacific, in the coming years. Watch this space
