HOME APPLIANCES / CLEAN LIFESTYLE WASHING MACHINES & DRYERS PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT FLUFF TECHNOLOGY FROM BOSCH DRYERS Bosch’s new premium dryers are the WTX87E40 and WTX87M40 models. Using Home Connect and Smart Dry, the dryers receive parameters from the last wash (programme, fill level and remaining moisture content). This automatically selects the appropriate setting for the drying process. The AutoClean function is described by Bosch as the most convenient way yet to deal with fluff build-up. AutoClean dispenses with the conventional doorbased filter that needs to be cleaned after every drying cycle – or around 160 times a year. Thanks to the automatic fluff removal technology, the fluff is directed to a separate storage area at the bottom of the appliance. This only needs to be emptied around once every 20 drying cycles, which translates to around eight times a year on average, with intelligent sensors alerting the user when it is time. » HALL 3.1 STAND 101 KEY SELLING POINTS 1 / Easier to maintain with AutoClean technology 2 / Iron Assist uses steam to remove wrinkles 3 / AntiStain Plus washes out up to 16 different types of stains IFA Home Appliances HAIER LAUNCHES FABRIC CARE FEATURE Haier is launching a new way to refresh laundry at this year’s IFA. The brand says that I-Refresh technology has been designed for the growing demand for a way to take care of delicate materials such as silk, wool and big items. Explaining the technology, Haier says that during the cycle, clothes fibres get revitalised and refreshed through the change of the drum rotation. The I-Refresh technology removes dust on clothes through a flow of warm air, that also opens up the fibre. After this first step, a flow of micro watermist particles forms a thin level of water coating on the fibre, that combines with dirt, bacteria, odour and mite particles to be cleaned. The last step is the cooling process uses air flow to return the fibre to its original shape, colour, shininess and clarity. » HALL 3.1 STAND 102 KEY SELLING POINTS 1 / Technology available in standard size and super drum 2 / Designed to work on a variety of items and fabrics 3/ Machine can be customised to consumer needs KEY SELLING POINTS 1 / App offers menu of additional programmes 2 / Control by voice 3/ Door is wider and higher than conventional products CANDY PRESENTS RAPID WASHING PROGRAMMES Candy says its RapidO washing machine and dryer offer the most complete and efficient set of rapid programmes on the market.
