It would never have occurred to me to put a cell phone in a dishwasher, but that is just one of the things he proposed to us. Haier at a press event yesterday in Madrid. It sounds crazy, but it is not, and it joins other surprising and above all very practical ideas with which this manufacturer surprised us. Be careful, household appliances can also be eye-catching technological products.
The dishwasher that looks like an operating room. One of the stars of the Haier catalog is the I-Pro Shine Series 7 dishwasher, a dishwasher equipped with technology Biovitae. This system uses visible light of multiple frequencies to sterilize without the need for water or extreme temperatures.
dry sterilization. The “dry” program is designed specifically for those objects that we constantly touch such as cell phones, keys or the TV remote, eliminating bacteria and viruses in a cycle that before it was unthinkable and that it was more typical of operating rooms or dental clinics. For these segments, so-called autoclaves based on high-pressure water and high temperatures are used to achieve this sterilization, but the Haier dishwasher takes advantage of this unique technology.
Three drums, one wash. While the dishwasher takes care of our devices, the Candy Multiwash solves the traditional logistical puzzle that many have with the washing machine and clothes. Integra three independent drums on a single chassis and allows the 10kg cycle to be used on the main drum for daily laundry while, simultaneously, two small onekg drums handle silk or baby clothes by UV sterilizing them. This appliance is capable of managing water, energy and detergent in the three drums independently and you can activate one, two or all three at the same time. This washing machine is now somewhat larger than the conventional standard of 60 cm, but they are already working on a model of this size to launch at the end of the year.
Three better than one.
Haier vacuum cleaners arrive. The firm enters the hyper-competitive vacuum cleaner segment for the first time and does so by attacking the floor cleaning market, until now dominated by robotics specialists. Its ace in the hole is Double Roller, a technology that replaces the traditional roller with two synchronized cylinders that rotate in opposite directions. The Z5 model is a wet&dry system that reaches 25,000 pascals of suction and is capable of cleaning and drying its own roller with water at 74º to prevent the proliferation of mold. There are also new robot vacuum cleaners like the v3, which is a wireless model for cleaning and disinfecting mattresses.
My refrigerator is bigger than yours. The Cube 90 Water Tank Auto Ice refrigerator solves one of the big problems when installing American models in Spain: plumbing installation. It has a capacity of 706 liters, and incorporates an internal tank for the water dispenser and automatic ice production, eliminating the need to connect tubes to the general network of our house. This makes it possible to place the multi-door refrigerator in any corner of the kitchen. This model maintains the ABT Pro technology to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria, but the efficiency also rises to category C, something that represents notable energy savings. Or what is the same: a more affordable electricity bill.
Magnetic fields for steaks. Every year on average a European citizen wastes 130 kg of food, but Haier has proposed a really striking solution to mitigate the problem. It is about NutriBanka technology with Haier’s own patent that, through the application of a harmless electromagnetic field, is capable of preserving the texture and nutrients of meat and fish at zero degrees without freezing them. According to the company, this system keeps 95% of the nutrients intact after ten days, so one can buy these products and keep them much longer without freezing before consuming them. This is not just about preserving, but about taking advantage of a financial tool to protect that part of the purchase that we usually spend on meat and fish.
Dry pants, wet pockets? Anymore. The new Horizon range washer and dryer tower reduces the height to 160 cm so that the screen is much more accessible, but the real innovation is inside. Unlike the conventional dryers that use contact sensors, this model employs a “3D humidity scanner.” It is able to detect if the pocket of thick pants is still wet even if the surface appears dry, adjusting the drying cycle in real time. In addition, the dryer intelligently preheats 15 minutes before the end of the wash to save time and energy.
I’ll tend when I can. The dryer also has symmetrical rotation, which allows drying to be active in both directions, and has another striking practical improvement: when one finishes doing the washing machine, one usually has to hang it up immediately to avoid or minimize wrinkles, but this washing machine has a system that keeps the clothes spinning and that “ventilates” them for up to 12 hours after finishing the washing cycle so that we can take them out at any time as if that cycle had just ended.
Ovens that puncture food. in the ovens Series 4 Flesh Flavor Steam Air tanks of up to one liter are used to inject steam precisely depending on the type of food. Some models have the Preci Probe thermal probe that can accurately monitor the internal temperature of the dish and adjust the heat applied to ensure that the exterior is crispy and the interior is hydrated. The hON application, which already connects millions of Haier devices, is capable of notifying when the food reaches the exact point.
