Beko Showcases Best Wares at PH Trade Launch

Beko, the largest appliance brand in Europe just recently concluded their 1st Trade Show in the Philippines held at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City. It was certainly a chance showcase their best products and be seen among dealers from different parts of the country and media outlets too. Arriving at the event venue, they already had us got acquainted with the home and kitchen appliances they have brought to the country. They assure all designs, materials of products which they sell in Europe is the same as what we have here in the country. This is certainly reassuring, and from what we saw at the experience area of the trade show, there's a lot more things from Beko that the Filipinos need to have in their homes.

Dyeun Zapanta the Marketing Manager of Beko says "We want to bring BEKO to different places in the country. We innovate our products, and have your household chores not get in the way. Our goal is to empower you to Live Like a Pro."

Beko Pilipinas Corporation Country Manager Gurhan Gunal adds "We grew our patents to over 3000, and now is the top brand in Europe. We are bringing our portfolio in the Philippines to help our customers have a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Our target is to become the number one European brand in the country. We will invest digital and trad media to bring brand information in different channels. You can use smartphones to connect with our smart appliances, use sustainable materials to build parts of our products,  recycle and do water treatment on some of them. We will be expanding, doing the legwork of launching more products since we were hampered by the pandemic. We will also be utilizing the help of Judy Ann Santos to become part of the mass households, to get closer to the consumer and be present in Visayas and Mindanao too. We have Harvestfresh technology, a unique cooling feature nutrifreeze, and our next game is connecting them, for a smart home. This will happen in the next 5 years."

News about how great Judy Ann Santos as an endorser was discussed during the question and answer portion. Her being a part of the brand was brought upon a survey they did while looking for an endorser, on who people would trust, and of course, Ms. Judy Ann Santos - Agoncillo was on top! They also will be asking her to further bring the message across, to be closer in every household where Beko wants to be in. They will also be expanding in Visayas and Mindanao, also plan to build more avenues for after sales service, and experience locations in the same region. They also mentioned that there's 114% increase this year compared to last year, so business is doing good. Execution of their expansion will take place in the next 5 years, but their thrust is to stay and plan even more things in days beyond that. I've seen their line of fridges, washing machines,more small appliances and dishwashers at the event, I bet it'll be nice to see them in my own home too, go check their social channels and official website beko.com/ph-en for more information about it.

Less Stress, Smart Washing and Caring for Mom with the TCL C20

Mothers Day is around the corner and I bet, you're already trying to rack your head thinking of what to give your Mom this year. After all, she took care of you since Day 1, fed you til you got so big and get yourself a job. Does your clothes smell nice? Chances are, your Mom washed your clothes right? She must have been working hard accomplishing tasks on her day job, breaking her back again at home putting food on the table, then either hand washing your clothes for a couple of hours. You want to make her life less stressful? Why not get her a new TCL C20 Front Load Wash Pro?

It's a pretty good investment. It's big as it's got 10.5 Kg capacity. You can also dry clothes up to 7 Kg. It uses a honeycomb crystal drum, does Air Wash, Steam Wash, Fast Washing, or opt for drying in low temperature. It also can do soft drying and is equipped with a safety lock so it's not going to be dangerous for kids and their apos. These days, they also need something that's energy efficient (with the high cost of electricity) and this one has a DD Inverter Motor in it, isn't that great?!

This TCL Washpro C20 also has a Dryna Heat Inverter, something so smart that it automatically adjusts the heat needed to dry your clothes. Best of all, you've got lower maintenance because it has a Drum Clean function which uses hot water inside to clean (after every wash) and make sure it cleans clothes thoroughly every time. It also scrubs each part of the textile because it's designed the honeycomb crystal drum that way. It's pretty tough on dirt, but still take care of the delicates. You'll also see less clothes bound for ironing as the steam puts less wrinkles on your shirts, pants, just about anything you put on the washer.

The TCL C20 Wash Pro certainly would be something your mom would love to see gift wrapped and all when she comes home from a long work day. If you want to know more about it, check out tcl.com/ph/en because there's a lot more information there. Ciao!

Say Hi To CBTL's New Professional Suite

Your coffee machines don't come this pretty. You might think this one's sloppy but NO, it's one of the most advanced coffee machines ever made from CBTL. They've been in the business for over 50 years and if they don't know what they're doing, who else would be doing a better job than them? =)

The one above is part of their new line. It's called Office One. As the name implies it's perfect for SOHO. Small and medium enterprises comprise about a third of our country's businesses and they consume around 3.1 cups per person, per day. Now imagine if that number is multiplied to hundreds of employees and not to mention spend about P150.00 for that too. What value would you get with an Office One then? Of course, you'll end up saving a ton. It's also easy to do because everything's done with ONE TOUCH.

They've got 14 different viands of espresso, coffee and teas to choose from.

It's also got Energy Saving mode so if you are not using the machine, you know how that works LOL.

Here's another new model from CBTL. They call this the Desto. It almost looks like a Mac tower with its modern design. It performs better and more efficient since you don't have to worry that much about the capsules. There's a container on the center that catches it once used. Pop in a new one and it's going to a chute that collects them all. Pretty smart, design wise.

The one in the back is the water container. You don't need to bother with plumbing in order to get coffee machines like these to work.

Plus they still have the classics, the first ones which they have also successfully released.

CBTL also can partner with businesses. If your restaurant or office needs world class, commercial grade coffee or tea, they can help you set up these machines and work with you.

These gorgeous ladies even got us to make our own concoctions using the espresso, tea and coffee pods from CBTL. We also got a little competitive since our drink will be pitted against others during the event.

We loved our fantasy drink and we got the judges to taste it. We won this round! =)

If you wish to have these machines and pods on your small office/home office, make sure to call the right people.

The Affordable and Efficient CANON Pixma E610

It's one of the most ink efficient printers that I've ever seen in the few years that I've been in the IT industry. This would be a perfect thing to have in small office/home office and with it's features, you already have saved a ton since it's a multifunction printer.

It's a Network Printer, Scanner, Fax Machine and Copier all in one. I actually got stumped because when I took out the cartridges to replace it with the new ones, the supposedly empty ones still had some ink on them. This pretty much made me think, did the previous reviewer use it for his photos? Then why did it still have ink on them? The box says it all, this one's Ink Efficient!

I was getting very good quality prints the last time I did it on the MX527 even on fast settings; but this time, I thought about it and see what will happen if I'll take my time and see a more detailed one when printing. Although I've been doing A4's previously, I tried the small ones too. On theory it'll take about 50 seconds. But with the time I measured, it pretty much took less than that. Impressive.

Now watch how I do it while printing out my first photo off the Canon Pixma E610. This is on A4 size so it'll take a couple of minutes.

What's also neat is that this particular print out is part of system called ChromaLife100. If you hate things that would only last you a couple of decades, this one is better. It won't fade, change color or do  anything weird in a hundred years. Theoretical of course, and under perfect conditions.

You can also install the "My Image Garden" software that comes with the printer if you want something fun. You can use it to create collages, frames, your own calendar or even spruce up old photos in one tool. It's simple and you can learn about it in a few minutes, so you don't really have to put so much fuzz about it.

Design wise, I think they wanted a sleek black exterior. This one doesn't have anything hanging out unless you put out the paper tray. Folding it in would just make it fully fit and clean. Black is sexy, more like a car.

And as you've seen on the video, it was easy to change cartridges. My only blunder was the part where I thought the cartridge was supposed to be upright. I should have just slid it in.

The Fax machine in this multifunction printer is quite intelligent too. It'll ask you to input the number twice so you won't be making errors sending the document to the wrong recipient.

Unlike the CANON MX527, the CANON Pixma E610 doesn't have wireless capability but this 458 x 385 x 200mm box can still be your network printer via hi speed USB. You might consider a print server for this that supports bi directional printing. The E610 can print out on A4, LTR, 4 x 6", 5 x 7"and 8 x 10". I did the A4 and it was dreamy, very detailed on its output. 

Scanning on this piece of hardware is pretty good. It served me well because it's smart like the other model. It gets all the details on a single run. Amazing!

Just look at the celebrities that I shot and printed out in a very detailed way. Even the not so sharp ones still felt very nice. I showed it to my folks and they even want their photos taken by me now. Thanks for all the memories, the celebrities and artists that have graced my camera. It was made extra special by immortalizing them on photo paper, printed out in one of the best photo printers in the world. This is CANON Pixma E610. It retails for around Php 5995.00 on stores in the Philippines.
