Posted on by

AEG proposes the new free standing combined freezer cabinets , equipped with professional refrigeration technologies and innovative features, which preserve the natural freshness of food, enhancing the most delicate taste, crunchiness and flavors, to create healthy and delicious recipes.

The interior of the refrigerator compartment of the new AEG models is made of stainless steel because it facilitates temperature recovery whenever the door is opened, keeping it stable. Furthermore, to ensure that the salad is crunchy even a few days after purchase or the meat remains fresh and rosy as in a butcher’s shop, each shelf has been specifically designed to ensure longer lasting food storage, limiting unnecessary waste. In the vegetable drawer with humidity control , for example, the temperature always remains close to 0 ° C maintaining the properties of the food intact; while the NaturaFresh 0 ° low temperature drawer preserves the most delicate foods, such as fish and meat, avoiding the proliferation of microorganisms and preserving them for longer.

A correct degree of temperature and humidity is fundamental to be able to preserve each ingredient to the fullest. In fact, the new range of AEG refrigerators is equipped with TwinTech® technology which uses two independent cooling systems, separating the air circulation between the fridge and freezer ensuring optimal conditions in each compartment: each room maintains its ideal temperature, controlling air and humidity , without exchange of unpleasant odors. The innovative MultiFlow ventilation emits a uniform flow of air throughout the refrigerator / freezer, protecting food from sudden changes in temperature or humidity. Food in the fridge does not become dehydrated and no ice or frost forms in the freezer, thanks to the No Frost technology.

Clean lines, defined volumes and elegant finishes. The new AEG freestanding freezer cabinets are made of pure steel, available in two aesthetic finishes, black and stainless steel anti-fingerprint. The doors of the compartments are completely flat and equipped with an integrated and ergonomic vertical handle, allowing 90 ° opening and facilitating the removal of the drawers.

Posted on by

Ecovacs Robotics vacuum cleaners equipped with the innovative Ozmo ™ scouring technology do not need any chemicals to remove virtually all harmful bacteria from the soil, simply by scrubbing with water. It has been verified and confirmed by the Hygiene & Microbiology Research Center of JapanDomestic floors are exposed to a lot of dirt of all kinds: street dust, hair from animals and pets, or waste and debris that fall when eating. All this dirty the house, leaving stains and marks on floors that are unattractive. In addition, it leaves invisible dangers, germs and pathogens that are a threat to those with allergies.These bacteria affect the body and health, especially the smallest of the house, and can even cause chronic diseases. However, as proven by the independent research institute Hygiene & Microbiology Research Center, the owners of an Ecovacs Deebot equipped with Ozmo ™ technology (Ozmo 930, PRO930, Ozmo Slim10, Ozmo 900) can rest easy. Experts have found that during cleaning with water and without adding detergents or chemical cleaning, the combination of aspiration and scrubbing of Ozmo eliminate up to 99% of all harmful germs.Double checked: cleaning and sanitization demonstrated
The study has not been done in Japan by chance. The large amounts of rain and rainfall that affect the Japanese country mean that the average humidity is between 60% and 70%, rising to more than 75% in summer. This is an ideal environment for the proliferation of germs such as mold and mites. Ecovacs has developed its Ozmo ™ technology to act precisely in these environmental conditions. And it has been successful, as the study confirms: in the first test, after only eight minutes working under maximum conditions of suction and scrubbing power, about 95% of the bacteria disappeared. The second test eliminated practically all the germs, 99%, in only 20 minutes (with the function of maximum suction and high level of water).
