The Midea Group has announced the launch of a new futuristic robot vacuum cleaner, adding to the company’s expansive cleaning product line.
Midea Group revealed details about its next generation robot vacuum cleaner. The S8+ auto-dust-collection robot is made by Midea Robozone Technology, a subsidiary of the Midea Group. The S8+ joins an intelligent cleaning product line developed by Midea, aiming to provide “optimum performance covering all household cleaning solutions”.
Expanding Midea’s intelligent cleaning product line
Midea has heavily invested in its smart cleaning product line, with the intention of providing smart cleaning solutions and products that have innovative technology and successful results. It is claimed that additions like the S8+ will help ensure success for the brand’s home cleaning and caring business.
“As an innovator in smart cleaning technology, I’m proud to say that Midea is reaffirming its leadership in the smart home industry by revolutionising high-performance robot vacuum cleaners to provide more convenience to our global customers”, said Alice Shaw, Vice President, Sales and Marketing Management at Robozone. “The S8+ is Midea’s premium model, representing a significant shift in modern home life where consumers seek intelligent cleaning assistants to meet the needs of today’s fast-paced life”.
S8+: an intelligent vacuum cleaner
The S8+ has been launched as an auto-dust-collection robot, with an automatic dust collection station. It supports an array of innovative features that the manufacturer believes consumers will seek from a vacuum cleaner of the future.
Notably, the S8+ features a 700W high-power motor, with powerful suction, a high-capacity dust bag and multi-layer sealing. These features mean the cleaner only needs to be charged once every 30 days. When it is being charged, the unit automatically collects dust, without any lingering odours. This ultimately provides a unique solution to storage issues with dust and dirt when cleaning.
The S8+ also features a high-frequency vibration mop, providing “vibration-based floor wiping modules” that use friction for effective cleaning. Midea has fitted the cleaner with laser navigation, allowing for precise cleaning on surfaces. Specifically, it supports a fifth generation LDS laser navigation-enabled intelligent whole-house planning solution, which creates maps to clean areas efficiently and accurately.
Furthermore, the S8+ boasts 4,000 pascal suction, which allows users to clean up fine dust.

The global household vacuum cleaner market was valued at around €38bn (US$43bn) in 2021, according to a report from ResearchandMarkets. This value is expected to reach around €51.1bn (US$58bn) by 2028.
Midea Robozone Technology capitalised on this demand with the international launch of the M7 Pro robotic vacuum cleaner in 2020. The unit already featured strong suction power, mopping features and support for app control and Alexa voice commands. Like the S8+, the M7 uses laser navigation technology to auto-map with 30 sets of sensors. An e-controlled water tank is another standout feature, an 220ml electronically-controlled tank with no leaks when turned off.
With the launch of the S8+, Midea is adding to its momentum to its innovative cleaning product line. A subsidiary of Midea Group, Midea Robozone Technology is mainly focused on developing Artificial Intelligence, as well as Smart Robot products and Smart Solutions. The company has a portfolio spanning multiple brands, such as Midea and Toshiba. Midea Robozone Group says its purpose is to “humanise” technology, and to also provide solutions for “Future Factories”.

Since 1927, WMF has been producing premium coffee machines for the hotel and restaurant industry, and now, in a major announcement, the company has declared it is launching a fully automatic coffee machine for the consumer business.
“The World of Coffee” includes a whole range of products relating to coffee enjoyment. An outstanding component is the first WMF Perfection 800 coffee machine series. With almost 100 years background in the industry, the high-end German manufacturer is aware that brewing and enjoying a cup of coffee is one of the most sensual things a person can experience. The new fully automatic coffee machines therefore provide a coffee pleasure for all the senses – touch, taste, sight, smell and sound – appeal to all coffee lovers who are seeking this “sensorial” enjoyment at the highest level.The WMF Perfection 800 offers perfect customisation when it comes to “feeling”: Through up to 18 pre-set beverage options, up to 16 customisable user profiles and other variable adjustment options can be adjusted to the individual coffee feeling in the most comprehensive way.
Depending on the machine, users can choose from espresso, ristretto, lungo, cafe cream, double espresso, Americano, breakfast coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, cafe latte, flat white, milk coffee, espresso macchiato, recipes for ground coffee, frothed milk, hot milk, hot water and tea (black tea, white tea and green tea).
The new WMF Perfection 800 meets every user’s personal taste with its extensive customisation options in terms of aroma strength, grinding degree (5 levels), and water quantity. The coffee enjoyment experience is rounded off by intuitive operation via a high-resolution TFT touchscreen.
Innovation you can taste…
With its innovative technology, the WMF Perfection 800 delivers an outstanding taste experience: the unique WMF double thermoblock technology enables an outstanding coffee quality – in this technology, the second thermoblock is optimised for heating milk and tea. This ensures excellent temperature accuracy, an optimal distribution of the heated water and perfect milk foam. The milk system is automatically self-cleaning and thus ensures reliable hygiene – cup by cup, day by day.
The outstanding result of the new fully automatic coffee machine can not only be tasted -the impressive aroma can also be smelt: The WMF Aroma Perfection System provides an olfactory experience that makes one want to enjoy coffee. In this system, the thermoblock and the brewing unit are combined, which ensures that the brewing process starts directly with heated water without heat loss.
a patented process, the optimum amount of coffee is ground and pressed into the brewing chamber under high pressure. In the first stage, the ground coffee is pre-cooked with a little water. Then the brewing process is carried out with hot water, in which the coffee flows – wonderfully fragrant – into the cup.
Pleasure begins for WMF even before the first sip – pleasure that one can see: The extraordinary design of the new WMF Perfection 800 is immediately eye-catching: The coffee machine impresses with its high-quality WMF design in Cromargan with anti-fingerprint, which is perfectly staged through a modern illumination by the LED ambient light.
Quality you can hear…
To create a holistic coffee experience, the ears are also pampered with harmonious sound engineering. The WMF Perfection coffee machine has additional damper technology on the pump. The solid honeycomb structure of the inner construction ensures less vibration. The double-layer sandwich housing made of plastic frames inside and Cromargan cladding on the outside, which is connected to a damping material, completes the optimal sound – not too loud, not too quiet, but simply perfect.
Three machines for a world of sensations…
The launch of the new WMF fully automatic coffee machines takes place as a series with three devices: The WMF Perfection 800 is available in the following versions: WMF Perfection 840L, WMF Perfection 860L and WMF Perfection 890L.
