AEG to preserve food freshness longer

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.

Samsung Electronics’ BESPOKE Refrigerator

Posted on by

The BESPOKE refrigerator, a customizable refrigerator recently launched by Samsung Electronics, is getting favorable reviews from overseas media outlets. With the new refrigerator, customers can customize their own configurations of material, color, sizing and other feature choices. It comes in eight sizes and nine color panels, allowing the customer to build a refrigerator depending on their taste, residential space and family size.

Samsung Electronics said on July 4 that Fast Company, a U.S. economic media outlet, recently reviewed BESPOKE in an article entitled “This just might be the world’s most beautiful refrigerator. The article says, “Built from any combination of colors and door configurations, Bespoke’s modular color blocks assemble to look like anything from a stylish locker to an armoire designed by Piet Mondrian.”

“Samsung Electronics has proved that fridges can be as fashionable as they are functional with the release of its new line of BESPOKE refrigerators,” said a reviewer at Reviewed.com, a U.S. website that reviews and recommends products to help readers buy the stuff they need. “The refrigerators look more like abstract artwork than a family fridge.”

Samsung Electronics said that the BESPOKE refrigerator attracted a lot of attention from visitors to the Project Prism showroom, which was launched on July 4 at the Main Gangnam Branch of the Samsung Digital Plaza in Seoul. Project Prism features home appliances that can fit into any lifestyle by allowing customers to personalize the materials, colors, shapes and designs of the products. The number of visitors surpassed 10,000 in four weeks since the refrigerator was launched. The visitors included journalists from Latin America.

“The characteristics of millennial consumers factored in BESPOKE are not limited to Korea, but are global trends,” said Yang Hye-soon, managing director of the Household Appliance Business Division at Samsung.

LG Electronics Q2 operating earnings down 15.4%

Posted on by

LG Electronics Inc. said Friday its second-quarter operating profits are expected to have dropped 15.4 percent from a year earlier, mainly due to its sluggish smartphone business.

In an earnings guidance, the South Korean electronics maker said it expects to post 652.2 billion won ($557 million) in operating profits in the April-June period — far below the average market expectation of around 774 billion won.

Its sales are expected to be 15.6 trillion won in the second quarter, a 4.1 percent surge from a year earlier, the firm said.

The company did not provide detailed performances for each division, saying it will release its earnings report later this month.

Analysts attributed the worse-than-expected earnings to the sluggish mobile business, which was expected to have eroded robust profits from the home appliance division.

They estimated the mobile division’s operating deficits at over 200 billion won in the second quarter, which would mark the ninth consecutive quarterly loss.

Although LG’s first 5G smartphone, the V50 ThinQ, was well-received in the domestic market since its launch in early May, it failed to provide strong momentum to help the mobile division make a turnaround in the second quarter, they noted.

The Korean phone maker launched the V50 in the United States in partnership with Sprint and Verizon in the last two months, respectively, but the initial response was lukewarm with lack of 5G infrastructure in the nation.

LG’s share in the U.S. smartphone market stood at 16 percent in 2018, according to industry tracker Strategy Analytics.

“LG V50 ThinQ failed to contribute sales increase in the North American market,” said Park Gang-hoo, an analyst at Daishin Securities. “Given the heavy marketing costs, the 5G smartphone was limited in improving the mobile division’s profitability.”

Market watchers say strong demand for LG’s home appliances might have improved its overall sales.

LG Electronics has enjoyed brisk sales of products related to air quality, such as air purifiers, dryers and clothing-care home appliances, and revenue from their rental service has also been on the rise as more people opt for renting gadgets.

“The home appliance businesses drove up the overall performance thanks to robust sales of premium lineup and new lifestyle products, such as air purifiers and garment dryers,” Koh Jung-woo, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities, said. “LG’s TV business likely suffered due to weak demand for LCD products and intensifying competition with Chinese makers, and its smartphone division continued to book losses.”

Shares of LG Electronics tumbled 5.22 percent to 72,600 won on the Seoul bourse, far below the KOSPI’s 0.09 percent gain. The earnings guidance was announced before the market closing.

Ecovacs Robotics vacuum cleaners equipped with the innovative Ozmo

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).
