the refrigerator and the washing machine will be the following

by

Xiaomi has entered a new phase of his conquest plan: start bringing the devices that launched in Chinabut never reached the West. The company has just celebrated a presentation event in which it has shown a lot of devices. The absolute protagonists are the new Xiaomi 15t and Xiaomi 15t Proalso a new version of Xiaomi Watch S4of the Smart Band 10 and some headphones. It was “only” a leg of the presentation. The other has had the home as the protagonist. New aspiring robotsa new camera and the Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini Lednews of products that the brand already launched in Europe. The great novelty comes from the hand of The appliances. Because, After notifying a few months ago And look at the leg with the air conditioning, Xiaomi will finally launch a washing machine and a refrigerator in our territory. This is the Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door and the Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro washing. And Spain will be the spearhead for Xiaomi. The cold and wifi cold refrigerator A few months ago, coinciding with the arrival of heat, Xiaomi launched an advance in the Spanish market: the MIJIA AIR CONDITIONER PRO ECO. In an interview, Borja Gómez Carrillo, Country Manager of Xiaomi Iberia, confirmed that this final stretch of 2025 The washing machine and the refrigerator would reach our market. They were defining what models they brought (because in China, the fan is quite wide), but we already have the details. Starting with the refrigerator, The Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door It is a four -door combi model (two for the refrigerator and two for the freezer). Among its technical characteristics linked to a “life” refrigerator, we find: Double investor with a guarantee of 10 years. 90º opening doors. Total capacity of 502 liters. External touch screen for settings. Technology to suppress bacteria. Temperature control by areas that go from -1º to 5th. Dimensions of 852 x 600 x 1.912 cm and a weight of 85 kilos The key, beyond these specifications, is that it has WiFi. Yeah, It is not something so weird today And there are already several models in the market that have connection to send us notices or make a remote diagnosis, but the strength of this product is that it is connected to Xiaomi Home. We will enter this later, but what we can expect is the logical thing of a refrigerator connected to the Internet: remote temperature adjustment, change cooling mode (superfrío, super -gelding or automatic), receive alerts if something goes wrong (for example, if the door does not close well) and we can also update it and even match it with Alexa and Google Asistant To change the temperature to the flight. Washing machine to ia On the other hand, we have the Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro. It is a sink whose main characteristics are as follows: 525 millimeter door diameter. Dimensions of 59.8 x 57 x 85 cm. Centrifuged at 1,400 rpm. Capacity in its washing machine: 9 kg. Capacity in its dryer function: 6 kg. Motor with direct traction and 12 years warranty Xiaomi emphasizes that it is 25% more efficient than others in class A, has rapid 12 -minute washing programs, self -limited systems and bacteria elimination (99.99% of them). But, as in the case of the refrigerator, it is in the intelligent functions where it stands out. It is also connected to Xiaomi Home And it can be updated, but perhaps the most comfortable thing is that we can customize the programs directly from the mobile instead of from the front panel of the device. To this connection is added artificial intelligence to detect the ideal temperature for drying depending on the tissues we have involved and a system that dose the detergent and softener depending on the weight to spend less product. The ecosystem is the key. And Apple knows it well Returning to our interview with Borja, he told us that What they are looking for is to expand the so -called “ecosystem”. That is where all products that are not tablets or smartphones enter, and for this, Xiaomi has a strategy that they baptized as human x car x home that aims to a total connectivity between All the legs of that ecosystem. In China it is very developed (and more With the car for a few months), But little by little they bring those devices to make more sense to an ecosystem that felt something lame only with mobile phones, cameras, vacuum robot or toothbrush. It is also a way to reinforce all aspects of the brand, obviously. Apple users know him well. They may arrive at the brand for the iPhone, and then they acquired a Mac, Airpods or a Apple Watch. Now maybe an Android mobile seem better, but if they use the airpods or the Apple Watch, they are “tied” to that ecosystem by mere comfort. The point is that Xiaomi is betting on implanting in the West something similar to what they have in Chinaseeking that, for comfort, the user acquires devices of the same brand because it is easier to control them all with an app than to fill the house with different brands, each with their own control application. Each of those devices reinforces others and makes the ‘switching cost’, or the cost of changing, more complicated. There is the meaning (beyond the comfort of controlling the washing machine with the mobile) that traditional appliances are under the umbrella of the same platform. “Coming Soon”, although Spain will be a pioneer Now, beyond the characteristics and that reinforcement to the ecosystem, little we can say both of the refrigerator and the Xiaomi washing machine. We do know that Spain, as happened with the air conditioning, will be the advance of these releases at European level, but when we look for details about the launch, we only have a ‘Coming Soon’. The same with the price. The Chinese company must continue to value … Read more

We thought we had seen everything in washing machines, but no. DREame just presented one with three drums

by

We have already talked about The crazy trend to add more functionalities to the washing machine and thus charge us a fortune for them. Connected washing machineswith Integrated Voice Assistantswith Telephone functionwith one Extra door to add things halfway and now washing machines not with one, but with three drums. It is not a concept, it is called Tri-Drum and is one of the home products that Dreame has presented in Ifa. Three drums You have read well. Dreame’s new invention is a washing machine that has a large drum with 10kg capacity and two smaller additional In the upper part with capacity for 400 grams of clothes. Image: DREame For the large casting we will use the 10kg drum, but we need wash some loose garment that has been stainedwe can resort to the other two and thus use much less water. It can also come good If we don’t want to mix garments either because of the color, because they are very dirty, because we want to wear a different detergent or due to allergies or sensitive skin (for example washing the clothes of a baby). At the moment we do not know its price or if it will go on sale in Spain. It is not the first Although it seems a lie, there have been other similar ones. Hisense presented the triple washer at the IFA of 2017although we believe that It never got on sale. Here they bet on two additional drums at the top, one for baby clothes and one for underwear. This same year, Haier also presented his triple drum washing machine Within its Leader range with a design that reminds Mickey Mouse’s silhouette. This time, it is on sale in China by 4,999 yuan, some 600 euros to the current change. LG Twinwash. Image: LG A few years ago LG presented the Twinwashan additional drum that we can place our washing machine at the bottom and to which we access As if we opened a drawer. Here we talk about an accessory and the two drums are quite large, so it is different from the bet of Dreame, Haier or Hisense. In this case the idea is that we can put two large straps at the same timeone for light clothes and one for the color. It is not sold in Spain.

Dreame has presented washing machines, refrigerators and even ovens. The vacuum brand wants to become a home giant

by

If we look at Dreame’s catalog we will see vacuum cleanerssome Robot cleaninga hair dryer or water dispensers, but above all vacuum cleaners. That has just changed. There is a trend of Chinese brands entering the world of large appliances and in Dreame they seem to have said “hold me the cubata” because They just entered fifteen new home categoriesincluding large appliance. Thus, suddenly. How many appliances have Dreame presented? Yeah Washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, dishwasher, ovens … of everything. Dreame comes with a very ambitious home bet. Let’s see what everything they have presented: Audiovisual DREAME AURA MINI LED 4K TV S100 Dreame opens on audiovisual devices with DREAME AURA MINI LED 4K TV S100, a TV which stands out for the integration of more powerful speakers that, according to Dreame, is like having an integrated sound bar. There are also projectors, specifically three, all laptops. The Triple Laser Portable Projector T3 stands out for being able to become a screen of up to 100 inches with a very short run. They also have the T2 model that has a battery that lasts up to 2 hours and the T1, the most modest of the three. Within this category we also have the X4000 series monitor and the Home Cinema System Pano 5.1.2ch composed of twelve speakers, including sound bar and Subwoofer. Large appliances Tri-Drum Washer washing machine with three drums. PS: I love her. Xiaomi recently presented its range of large appliances And we already seemed ambitious, but Dreame goes even further. In the clothing washing section we have the L9 washing machine and dryer set, the Slimher washing machine, a mini washing machine and the craziest of all: A washer with three separate drums so that we can wash loose garments. DREAME Z-FERE refrigerator They have also presented not one, but two double door refrigerators, the Z-Fresh and Fizz Fresh. The two have A technology that reduces oxygen in the vegetable compartment To last longer. The Fizz Fresh also serves you water with fresh gas. I could not miss a dishwasher, the Z6000 that in addition to washing the dishes, the dry ones. There is even more. Two ovens, the Z6000Pro and Z6000 Steam-Boost, and two Airfryer, the Tasti AF30 and the Tasti DZ30, with double compartment. All ovens and airfryers have steam function so that the food is juicy and at the same time crispy. Air conditioning and others Dreame enters the air conditioning with the X-Wind, an air with a classic format, but with a dark gray design that does not go unnoticed. The most curious model is the Z Wind, a kind of tower that is attached to a corner, both vertically and horizontally. Although they already had some models in their offer, Dreame opens two new air purifiers, one of them with a humidifier function included. We also have a Organic garbage cube that adjusts the temperaturemoisture and avoid bad smells. Finally there is space for Home With home security cameras, smart locks, LED strips and connected bulbs. A blow to the table: here we are I do not remember a deployment of products as large as Dreame has just done in Ifa. We do not know how many of these products will arrive in Spainbut we talk about a brand that It began to be known in 2022 For selling vacuum cleaners in Amazon and suddenly sells dishwasher, ovens, washing machines and even air conditioners. A blow to the table. In addition to expanding their products, they have announced that by the end of the year They will open physical stores In several European cities, among which is Madrid. The truth is that Dreame has made a hole in the Spanish market in a short time and we can already find its products in most large areas. We will see how this bet comes out, but of course they are serious. Images | DREame In Xataka | A Chinese company that you do not know manufactures 35% of all microwaves in the world.

Roborock opens with a 1,500 euro washing machine

by

Roborock is One of the best known brands in the vacuum robots segment And he has just expanded his catalog with new products. Hand vacuum cleaners, a new high-end robot, a corteped robot and the one that concerns us: its first high-end washer. It is called Roborock Zeo X and marks a trend: that of Chinese brands entering the large appliance sector. Chinese technology brands want to conquer the home Chinese brands that manufacture appliances there were already many (Haier, Hisense, Measure …), but recently we are seeing as other purely technological brands are going to this category. We have the precedent with the alliance between Midea and Huawei. In 2020 they announced a series of appliances that worked with Harmonyosalthough it did not leave China. A clear recent example we have in Xiaomi, which had already conquered mobile phones and has long expanded its ecosystem to other segments: out of home, The car. Inside, Large appliances. We saw it in its event to celebrate the fifteen anniversary that was held last May. Within their Mijia range they announced airs conditioned, refrigerators, washing machines and even an intelligent tap. For now, Only air conditioner has arrivedbut the plan is to bring the fridge and the washing machine before the end of the year. Now, Roborock follows his steps. Roborock Zeo X: Lava and Dry with a design that does not look like a washing machine Earlier this year they already made their first foray into the washing of clothes with the Roborock Zeo Lite and Zeo Minibut this is its first high-end washing machine and consolidates its entry into a segment that until recently was unknown. Roborock Zeo X has a embedded design that moves away from the classic front front. The door is tactile and the controls are found in the glass itself, but when we are not using it they are not seen, leaving a clean front that does not seem like a washing machine. A Chinese company that you do not know manufactures 35% of all microwaves in the world. Probably yours too To ensure deep and efficient washing, it has a technology called Finefoam that allows you to better penetrate tissues, while reducing water consumption by 32% and energy by 20%, always according to Roborock. As for drying, its ZEO-CYCLE function uses a natural zeolite mineral to dry at low temperatures (between 37 and 50 degrees), so that problems with delicate tissues are avoided. Of course, intelligent functions could not miss. Its algorithm automatically adjusts the amount of water, drum speed and drying temperature. It also has a detergent tank that is adjusted automatically and avoids us having to fill it every time. It will cost 1,499 euros.

He founded a promising platform and ended up accused of washing 500 million

by

The case of Sam Bankman-Fried He left an open wound in the crypto sector. His meteoric ascent in front of FTX and its subsequent fall They marked a milestone in public perception on these platforms. But it was not the only one. Now, another tycoon of cryptocurrencies has been accused of starring in a massive laundering scheme. Iurii gangnin, founder of the companies Evita Investments and Avoid paywould have provided about 2,000 million dollars in transactions, of which more than 500 million passed through the US financial system. The authorities believe that he turned his company into an undercover financing network for sanctioned Russian banks and sensitive technological exports. A platform in the sights. According to the accusationGugnin founded two companies in the United States: Evita Investments, based in Delaware, and avoids Pay, based in Florida. Through them it would have moved approximately 530 million dollars through banks and cryptocurrency exchange houses in the US, hiding the real origin and purpose of the funds. Being Evita Investments the main road, with about 365 million of the 530 moved in US territory through Tether. The Department of Justice accuses him of a total of 22 crimes, including: Bank fraud (maximum penalty: 30 years in prison) Conspiracy to defraud the United States (up to 5 years) Money laundering (up to 20 years) Violations of the Law on Economic Powers in International Emergencies (IEEPA) (up to 20 years) Operation of a money transmitter company without license (up to 5 years) Do not apply an effective program against money laundering (up to 10 years) Do not present suspicious activities reports before the authorities (up to 10 years) Gugnin was arrested in New York. If it is convicted, it could face several decades in prison, according to the combination of charges. Payments on the name of Russian, Chinese and Emirati customers. The accusation details that many of their clients had accounts in sanctioned Russian banks, such as Sberbank, VTB, Tinkoff, Sovcombank and even Alfa-Bank, where Guggnin himself maintained personal accounts. There were also clients in China and United Arab Emirates. Gugnin received cryptocurrencies, mainly in the stablecoin tether (USDT), turned them into dollars or other fiduciary currencies, and then made payments on behalf of its customers. How Financial Times points outsome of these payments would have served to acquire technology subject to export control, as servers designed by US companies, pieces for a French yacht company and components for Rosatom, the Russian state corporation of nuclear energy. He would also have channeled payments to Yiwu Vortex, a company sanctioned for exporting maritime equipment to Russia. A facade of legality. According to the Department of Justice, Guggnin registered Evita Pay as a company transmitting money before the state of Florida and the Finnn Network, but made it falsify the information about the true nature of its business. That license, obtained fraudulently, served to induce cryptocurrency exchange platforms to process operations. In addition, he cheated banks and exchanges ensuring that he did not work with sanctioned entities or Russian clients. The accusation states that it never applied an effective capital laundering prevention program, did not activate internal controls, did not report suspicious activities. The “serial entrepreneur” that he was looking for in Google how to know if they investigated him. Gugnin resided in New York and presented himself publicly as a “serial entrepreneur.” According to judicial documentation, he was fully aware of the illegality of his actions. The authorities had access to their navigation history, finding consultations related to how to know if it was being investigated, the penalties for money laundering, related sanctions and how to act in case of being under police investigation.
