Is your refrigerator holiday-ready?

The holidays are almost always jam-packed with gatherings every week. And for homes that regularly host the celebrations, the kitchen will need to be efficient with plenty of storage space so that food preparation and cleanup will run smoothly as possible.

Next to cooking appliances, refrigerators take center stage during the holidays by keeping fresh ingredients, chilled drinks, and leftovers neatly stored and organized in the kitchen. A regular-sized fridge, however, might not be enough for the needs of the occasion, especially with new faces possibly adding to the yearly guest list.

“Christmas should be about renewing relationships with the people we love, not about worrying how to keep things in order. To make our loved ones feel welcome when they visit, it’s important that we keep our homes stress-free,” said Jennifer Samson, Haier’s Product Manager for refrigerators.

Food prep hacks for families on the go

Family dinners at home are possible with the right kitchen appliances 

Eating together at home is a time-honored practice among Filipinos, but the daily demands of work and school—not to mention traffic—are making it harder to sit with family at the dinner table.

“Mealtimes with family aren’t just about enjoying home-cooked food. Important conversations often happen during dinner, allowing families to nurture values and strengthen relationships,” said Leny Agdamag, Haier’s Product Manager for Small and Kitchen Domestic Appliances.

The time spent when preparing meals is a huge factor in why people are opting to eat whenever they can to and from school or the office. Good food, however, does not necessarily require too much time in the kitchen with the right microwave and oven toaster.

Dyson captures the invisible threat in your home

The Dyson Pure Cool™ Link purifier fan automatically removes 99.95% of indoor allergens and pollutants as small as 0.1 microns from the air.1

Globally, air quality in cities is deteriorating. But the air pollution inside your home can be up to five times worse than outside2, and we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors.3

Major indoor air pollutants include gases from cooking and central heating, mould, pet hair, pollen and allergens. Invisible to the naked eye, it is these ultrafine and potentially harmful particles that can travel easily through the air that surrounds us in the home.

Dyson engineers have combined their expertise in fluid dynamics and filtration systems with software to develop the new Dyson Pure Cool™ Link. This is a purifier that gives you an indication of the air quality in your home automatically purifying the pollutants it detects, whilst reporting the live indoor and outdoor4 air quality to the Dyson Link App – making the invisible visible, at the tap of a finger.
