RETAILOBSERVER.COM MAY 2017 26 The Liebherr HWg 1803 series wine cabinets are designed for niches 17.5" high, and are fitted a pull-down door, allowing for multiple design options and optimal use. Available in chic white (HWgw 1803) or elegant black (HWgb 1803), these front-reflective Glass Edition wine cabinets are manufactured using back-printed glass for a spectacularly stylish finish, ideal for a kitchen, bar, or great room. The back-printed glass is easy to clean and scratch resistant for increased durability over the lifetime of the cabinet. When the glass door is gently tapped, TipOpen technology partially opens the door, offering the perfect solution for seamless integration in hands-free kitchens. If the door is not opened fully within three seconds, the door will self-close. With advanced energy efficiency, these compact HWg 1803 wine storage cabinets are equipped with the latest in climate technology, with details necessary for optimal wine storage and tempering. An easy-to-read LCD screen guarantees exact temperature adjustment between 41°F and 68°F. The dimmable, vertical LED lighting provides enhanced illumination throughout the interior, offering a better view of the stored bottles. Thanks to the minimal heat emitted by the LED lights, stored wines can be illuminated and beautifully presented for extended periods of time without compromising their quality. The doors are fitted with tinted, insulated safety glass to ensure protection against damaging UV radiation, ensuring vibrant color, quality, and taste of the wine. The Liebherr HWg 1803 wine cabinets feature secure, handcrafted shelves, made from untreated beech wood, which are designed to offer safe storage for up to 18 Bordeaux bottles. Mounted on telescopic rails, these wooden shelves can store bottles vertically, horizontally, and at different angles, depending on bottle size. Additionally, the HWg 1803's have a noise level of 32 dB(A), making these units virtually silent. These features make the units ideal for the premium wine collector and frequent entertainer.

SAMSUNG INTRODUCES THE POWERBOT™ VR7000 ROBOT VACUUM Slimmer, smarter and more powerful than before, new robot vacuum meets cleaning demands of today's consumers Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced the latest in its innovative and popular line of POWERbot™ vacuum cleaners, the VR7000. The new unit features powerful suction and slim design– at less than 4" tall (97mm), it is 28% slimmer than previous Samsung robot vacuums. 1 SLIM NEW DESIGN, POWERFUL CLEANING The new design is aimed squarely at consumers who demand better automated cleaning. According to internal Samsung research, 39% of consumers in North America said they expect their robot vacuum cleaner to reach hard-to-reach places and have enough suction capacity to eliminate the need for manual follow-up cleaning. Depending on the model chosen, the POWERbot™ VR7000 ensures thorough cleaning by generating up to 20 watts of suction power while covering areas that hand-operated vacuum cleaners miss, like under beds or other furniture. The POWERbot™ VR7000's Edge Clean Master feature enables the unit to come within a ½" (15mm) of the wall. This is achieved by placing the unit's wide 11" (288mm) brush — the widest among leading brands — close to the front, so when the unit reaches the wall it can easily gather dust and hair. Additionally, the auto shutter feature further meets that demand by automatically dropping down a barrier to help the unit sweep up more dust collected closer to the edges. The POWERbot™ VR7000's unique self-cleaning brush system significantly reduces the amount of dust and hair that gets trapped in the bristles. It collects debris in the center of the brush, facilitating easier transfer into the dustbin to cut down on regular maintenance. SMARTER THAN EVER The POWERbot™ VR7000 is equipped with several intelligent features that power the unit's automated performance. With Visionary Mapping™ Plus and FullView Sensor™ 2.0, the POWERbot™ VR7000 maps and remembers contours of the room to provide thorough cleaning. Later, it can guide itself to dirty areas on any surface. It can also detect and work around obstacles or small items (less than 10mm or 0.4"). I N D U S T R Y [ N E W S ]
