– Water & Ice Center (Plus and Prime) for 24/7 access to chilled water, ice cubes, and crushed ice 

Available finishes include BlackSteel, SmartSteel, and the earthy new TerraSteel.

🧊 Side-by-Side Solutions: Freshness at Scale

These features are designed for everyday convenience without compromising hygiene or performance.

  – TempProtect Plus with dual sensors for thermal stability 
  – HumiditySelect/HumidityControl to maintain cork integrity 
  – UVProtect Plus triple-layered glass with Low-E coating to block harmful rays 

Sizes range from compact 45 cm units to the towering 213 cm Monolith series.

Whirlpool India: A Strategic Tug-of-War Amid Global Appliance Shifts

Posted on by

Investor AB, the powerful Swedish holding company behind Electrolux and other industrial giants, is backing EQT in a potential takeover of Whirlpool India. While EQT remains the only serious bidder, Whirlpool CEO Marc Bitzer is asking $550–600 million for a 31% stake—an amount that led Bain Capital to walk away.

Despite interest, Whirlpool India faces stiff competition from Chinese and Japanese-Korean brands and lacks presence in premium segments. Tariff protections haven’t delivered results, adding pressure to the deal.

Electrolux may not be changing hands just yet—but the appliance sector is clearly heating up.

At IFA Berlin, Miele introduced Miele M Sense — a patented system that brings intelligence directly to the cookware and the hob.

With up to three integrated sensors, M Sense monitors the cooking process in real time. The hob responds by adjusting the power level automatically. Control happens where it matters most: directly on the cookware, via a sleek touch interface.

For everyday cooking, this means fewer interruptions, greater consistency and the quiet confidence that everything is under control. Whether you’re refining a recipe or sharing a meal with loved ones, Miele M Sense lets you focus on what truly matters.
