Better Cooling & Larger Capacities with Haier’s 2024 Lineup of Refrigerators & Wine Chillers

Leave a comment

Haier is no stranger to home appliances. The company has recorded an impressive 43% year-on-year (YoY) growth for the first half of 2024. In line with that growth, the company is bringing a whole new lineup of Refrigerators, Freezers and Wine Chillers to bolster its 2024 home appliances. The new lineup comes with a total of 12 models and variants to cater for any home size and need.

New Technology Provides Peace of Mind with Haier’s New Refridgerators

The new lineup is spearheaded by the new HRF-IM758FG(SG)U1 – a 4 door mega capacity fridge complete with the latest technology for food preservation. One of the many features is “Fresher Shield” that prevents thermal shock when defrosting food by minimising heat transfer. The new “Humidity Control System” allows you to keep your perishables fresher for longer as well. The system takes advantage of separated wet and dry zones as well as separate humidity levels to fit the food stuffs being stored. Freshness is also prolonged with a brand new ABT-PRO technology that uses UV light and a photocatalyst filter to ionise air. This destroys bacteria and eliminates odours.

The new HRF-IM785FG(SG)U1 also makes storing your 785L of food items easier with ample room and separated storage and humidity controls. This also allows foods to be kept in optimal conditions maximising shelf life. Strategically placed air vents on every level of the cavernous, compartmentalized space further facilitate this. The fridge also comes with a lighting system that bathes the interior with gentle light and provides clear visibility of items even those at the back. The fridge also comes with AIoT features that allow you to control its settings via the HaiSmart App and it also has twin inverter technology for energy efficiency.

Complementing this flagship is Haier’s Multidoor HRF 585 and 480 series which come with 529L and 480L capacity respectively. There are multiple variants of these series and they come with features that make storing foods and drinks a non-issue. The Magic Zone compartment uses an advanced ventilation system to control the flow of cold air with temperature settings that can be set at 0°C, 2°C, and 4°C for optimal storage of meats, fish and dairy. The 585 comes with a 95° anti-tipping bottle holder that minimises spillage. These models also come with twin inverter technology with a 20-year warranty.

Chilling Solutions for Your Spirits and Long-Term Storage

Haier also launched its HWS-84G & 49G Wine Cellars. These units will help you keep your spirits at their perfect temperature. They are VDE-validated to maintain a constant temperature and the right humidity, providing the best storage environment for wines and spirits.

The cellar comes with a triple-layered glass door that helps block out harmful UV rays while insulating the inside environs preventing temperature fluctuations. Both can store your wine at temperatures of about 5°C to 20°C, with a humidity range of 50-70%.

Sharp Brings Latest Plasmacluster Ion Products to Malaysia

Leave a comment

Sharp is no stranger to home and living products. The company boasts a long history of manufacturing and innovating in the home and living technology segment. What’s more, its Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) technology alone has been headlining its products for about 24 years now after being introduced at the turn of the millennium.

Improved Plasmacluster Ion Technology

The Plasmacluster ion technology brings along with it a whole suite of benefits that make it one of the industry-leading technologies when it comes to purification and preservation. This year, Sharp is upping the ante by introducing improvements to the technology that makes it even more compelling than before. Plasmacluster Ion products are now getting labelled with three different PCI labels: High Density 7000 (Copper), High Density 25000 (Silver), and NEXT 50000 (White). Each label indicates the speed at which PCI is able to neutralise airborne pathogens and purify the air. The new NEXT certification comes with the guarantee of being able to clear the air in a mere 9 minutes.

Sharp PCI Launch 5

Plasmacluster Ion technology works by injecting charged hydrogen and oxygen ions derived from hydrolysed water molecules into the surrounding space. These charged ions will then react with the protective layers of bacteria, moulds and viruses exposing vital structures and neutralising them. In application, this helps reduce the density of harmful microbes which help preserve food and manage allergens. Sharp shares that its PCI technology is able to reduce the density of the Alpha variant of COVID-19 by up to 95% and help manage allergies by reducing the density of allergens.

New Generation PureFit Air Purifiers

Sharp’s new generation of PureFit Air Purifiers is leading the charge when it comes to the new generation of Plasmacluster Ion products. The new air purifiers are designed with simplicity in mind. The minimalist, functional design has also earned Sharp the much coveted iF Design award in 2021.

Sharp PCI Launch 4

The lineup consisting of two variants, the Sharp PureFit and PureFit Mini, are built specifically to cater to different-sized rooms. The PureFit can effectively purify rooms of up to 84m2 or 900 sqft while the Mini can do the same in rooms of up to 30m2 or 330sqft.

Sharp PCI Launch

The PureFit series is able to provide effective purification thanks to its dual airflow system with three layers of filtration. It also comes with HEPA filtration to eliminate up to 99.8% of impurities and microbes as small as 0.02 microns. The PureFit series spearheads Sharp’s extensive air-purifer lineup which also includes a version with a mosquito catcher to help keep mosquitoes and dengue at bay.

New Generation Plasmacluter Ion Appliances

Together with the new generation air purifiers, Sharp is also incorporating its latest Plasmacluster ion technology into other product categories. This includes its washer-dryers and refridgerators. The new Sharp Pro-Flex washer-dryer comes with a dry airwash mode which injects Plasmacutter Ions to sanitise and clean garments without water. It also incorporates the PCI technology when washing and drying for a cleaner wash.

Sharp PCI Launch 3

Sharp is also incorporating it into its refridgerators to help keep food fresher for longer. Sharp claims that PCI technology helps destroy mould, bacteria and other harmful microbes that cause food decay. This combined with the AG Nano deodouriser keeps food fresh and the refridgerator smelling clean for longer.

Pricing & Availability

Sharp’s extensive list of appliances will be available in the market in the coming weeks. Prices start at RM699. Appliances listed below:

Haier Malaysia Introduces New 2024 Catalogue of Home Appliances

Leave a comment

Haier is no stranger to home appliances. In fact, the brand has been recognized internationally as the number 1 brand across multiple categories including washing machines, water heaters, and more. 2024 seems to be the point at which AIoT takes center stage for Haier as their product lineups continue to adopt features like WiFi and more AIoT-centred functionalities.

Keeping Things Chill & Healthy with New Air Solutions

Haier’s lineup will be bolstered with the introduction of two new line-ups of air conditioners. The new UV Cool Premium (VXA) and UV Cool Smart (VRA) series of air conditioners will feature built-in Wi-Fi modules that enable seamless control from your smartphones. This will, naturally, be available through the Haismart application.

In addition, these air conditioners incorporate UVC sterilization technology. This technology helps destroy bacteria and viruses in the air by emitting UVC rays which has been certified by Texcell and SGS to have a 99.991% efficacy in removing pathogens including the SARS-CoV-2. These features are also making it into Haier’s commercial air conditioners.

Smarter Food Storage with the Haismart App

Together with smarter, more health-centric air conditioners, Haier will also be bringing Haismart app functionality to their brand-new HRF-IM758LXG (B) 4-door refrigerator. With the new refrigerator, you’ll be able to remotely manage your chilled foods and groceries. That’s not all, the Haismart app will also give you personalized recipes.

1000078349

The fridge itself comes with a built-in touchscreen that allows you to control the temperature and other settings directly. The new daylight feature will bring better illumination throughout the fridge.

Together with this model, Haier is also introducing HRF-IG585EM (GB) and HRF-IM585EM (FB) 4-door fridge models. These models round up the trio of new fridges that will come with a new Humidity Control System Plus that helps regulate the humidity levels in the crisper drawer. This allows you to store items like fruits and vegetables longer. There’s even a dry zone for items like ikan bilis.

If you’re into wines, the WS-198 and WS-118 wine chillers will allow you to better chill and store your collection with its Natural Air Flow System. This system allows for better temperature and humidity control. If you need to keep things on ice, they also have the UR-331BK, UR-261BK and UR-181BK upright freezers.

Washing with Smarter Convenience

Haier isn’t just keeping things cool. It’s also bringing the smarts to its washing machine lineup. The new BD14266S8 front-loading washer not only comes with Haismart app connectivity, but it also has a vivid Colour Ai display panel that allows you to more precisely control your washing. There’s also the BD2178S8 top-load washer that comes with Auto dosing to help you save on laundry supplies.

Meanwhile, when it comes to washing yourself, Haier is introducing the new K Series of water heaters. The new series comes with Shock Proof Technology to deal with electricity leakage and Earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) failure. This helps prevent electric shock while bathing.

Helping You Cook Up A Storm

2024 is also the year for smarter cooking with Haier’s hob and hood lineup. The new HH-GT6907GB is a powerful, quiet hood that has a large bionic volute design for unrestricted airflow. This is complemented by the hood’s AI Smart Air Flow that dynamically adjusts to maintain air quality even when it comes to homes where long piping is needed.

1000078350

Of course, you’ll need a hob to complete your kitchen. In 2024, Haier is bringing three new hobs the HC-Q893STGB, the HC-Q872PTGB, and the HC-Q872PTDG. These hobs come with Haier’s Hob-to-hood connection that wirelessly connects the HH-GT6907GB hob with Bluetooth. This allows your Hood to auto-magically turn on as soon as your hob is turned on. They also come with timers that automatically cut off the gas supply once it runs out avoiding potentially deadly situations.

OLED TVs Take Center Stage

Rounding up the 2024 Haier catalog is its new lineup of OLED Smart TVs. Having already made their debut recently, the new H65C900UX (65-inch) and H55C900UX (55-inch) bring cutting-edge display technology. They bring some of the most requested features like 120Hz refresh rate, 4K resolution, and premium sound with Harman Kardon.

1000078351

All of these products are already making their way to stores in time for Christmas, New Year’s and the Lunar New Year festivities.
