It looks like they've gone way beyond the expectations of consumers and started to venture into home appliances again this month, They've finally launched the new P7 Series Direct Drive+ Topload Washing Machine, where more of the features of usual pricey machines and get fit into this new model, without being expensive.


TCL's CEO Mr. Jie Cheng says "If you see our new models, we wanted to emulate the traditional washing machines do but make it more efficient and affordable.


The P7 Series is stable, quiet, durable and very energy efficient. It uses a DD Inverter Motor that doesn't use belts which makes it more stable and uses less energy, less water too.

With it's Waterfall Style Washing you're going to get less tangles inside the drum but gets the detergent dissolved efficiently, so it could do the washing better. Think of it being less abbraisive, but more care for the fabrics. It's like handwashing for those delicates, and being attentive when it needs more work.

Life in Details: LG Outs New Monitors, OLED and Nanocell TV's, and XBOOM Go Speakers

Just got off the web conference with the good people from LG Philippines as they showcase their latest monitors, TV’s and audio devices. I saw a LOT of things I would like especially the new wide screen monitors that I could use for gaming and watching videos.

Inkwun Heo Managing Director of LG says “We perceive them as essentials. Essentials to make our homes better. We want to see life in detail even while we stay at home under the new normal. Our new line of monitors and speakers are things you can enjoy." He even made that heart gesture that kdrama oppas usually do. :)

Vlogger, Model, Movie and TV star Mikael Daez says “This baby is made for multitasking. Megan and I have no tapings these days and everything is online. Streaming is growing, these LG Ultragear and LG Ultrawide has been absolutely amazing, no input lags, it’s a better streaming experience. I am showing my personal setup, this is what I use for editing and gaming. Customers will be able to experience that as well.“

Kyra Yambao the Product Manager for LG adds “LG does not compromize, this has good aspect ration so everything is on the screen at any given time.

Director and Film Maker Milhail Red says “Film maker mode presents cinematic experience, the exact settings directors and colorists want you to see their film. This is what happens in LG OLED TV’s. This is intended for the big screen but LG has the technology to preserve what we intend you to see, that is important for visual storytellers.”

Angelica Dumlao the LG Product. Manager says “Film makers have a vision and what directors want you to see is what is supposed to be on TV.”

Aaron Parcon the Product Manager for LG and pro basketball player LA Tenorio adds “Never miss your team play, feel like you are on the sidelines, bluetooth surround ready, that is LG OLED Sports TV. True to life, make sports realistic, this is 100 times faster than regular LED TV. I always watch NBA and PBA moves, so I could do them well. I watch it vividly, very lifelike, perfect for my fluid lifestyle, because it’s like you are there. LG makes it possible. Right now, I am enjoying my newborn baby at home, I binge watch K dramas. Before I miss a lot of details, now it is all clear. It is realistic that I really am afraid with zombies and stuff. The TV has millions of pixels, when I review games I feel like I have an advantage because I can see them all, even footwork, this is all different!”

Gaming on TV

LG OLED Self Lit Pixels make HDR gaming good with detailed pitch blackness (perfect black), ultra low latency, flawless big screen gaming. ESports is gaining traction, LG OLED TV’s are NVIDIA Gsync compatible, the chances of eye fatigue is low too. Highest response time, low input lag, and you’ll be fine as it has less blue light.

Megan Young says “Display latency, ghosting is gone, this reveals all the hidden details and is amazing. The TV is also beautiful and it lets me watch shows in one instance, and also play games and stream it as well. I’m a good support with Mikael, he keeps on beating me. It has been great because it fits my mood. I have voice activated control, *calls Mikael* and I get the controls in an instant LOL.”

LG Nanocell TV

Pure colors, now on ultra large screens, this is LG Nanocell 8k. It gives stunning visual details, you can watch movies, sports and play games.

James Deakin says “This is a game changer. It gives the real 8K, with deep learning algorithm that removes dull colors and reduce noise. LG Nanocell Real 8K comes in the right budget, get unbelievable tech without the more premium price. There is no such thing as too many TV’s, I use them as paintings at times and the gallery is amazing! I am blessed to be trusted by LG to experience the technology before the market gets it. The way they think is just hard, they enhance your lifestyle.”

Angelica adds “OLED is best, but Nanocell employs backlit tech for perfect black. If you are looking for a bargain, bang for buck, you are going to get value out of that.”

The LG XBoom Go PL5 and PL7 are portable Bluetooth speakers that give any room, big or small, an immersive surround sound experience. Go all day with 24 hour batteries on the LG XBoom Go. XBOOM has balanced deep and powerful sound boost. Crystal clear audio, surround sound with your LG TV even at home. This is life in details.

The LG UltraGear and Ultrawide makes you experience gaming better. It is also versatile, the seamless switch between gaming and watching. LG OLED TV’s give you the nicest sound quality, realistic like people on the show are there with you. LG Nanocell places a lot of value with your TV, we multitask with with the TV, you can talk to it and do so much at a lower cost. You can even use it as a stunning display of art, all visually arresting. The Nanocell TV provides that little bridge between TV to the huge leap to the OLED. The film maker mode on the OLED makes movies seen as what it is intended.

This is just a nice way to enjoy life even at these trying times. If you feel like you deserve a treat, LG has these offered on Lazada and other authorized retailers listed on the LG website.

Oh and yes, LG is also doing a lot behind the scenes as the pandemic is on its nth month. They gave away washing machines, tons of TV monitors, to help lessen the burden of our frontliners and the less fortunate. They also sent some for hospitals and organizations across the country.

Congratulations LG! Keep doing what you are doing good!

In our own home, we have interesting guidelines we set including sanitation where everything has a place. We also disinfect almost everything at home and those that come from outside, we freak out when we don't and catch who did it.

European appliance powerhouse Beko under its subsidiary Beko Pilipinas Corporation introduced their latest washing machines. Unlike the normal spinning ones we probably have at home, their new models have extra modes for safety. They call it Beko Hygiene+. These new washing machines blend sensitive temperature control with additional rinse and spin cycles to make sure any microorganism is removed when you do your laundry.

Aside from that, these washing machines employ AquaWave technology. It massages clothing gently using several paddles in the drum. It makes use of your detergents antibacterial properties to properly sip-through the fabric.

Haier Love

We've seen this brand mostly in shops and loved them genuinely for bringing in quality yet affordable domestic and kitchen appliances. A few days ago, we were treated to a small gathering where Haier introduced us to some of the new things coming out of their shelves and I was excited because I've been able to experience this on a personal level since I have about 2 of their products already in my home. During the event, they announced the availability of the new Side by Side, Two-door Top and Bottom Mount Inverter, and also the French Door Refrigerators. Both of which are all equipped with a silent compressor, rapid-cooling refrigerant that takes advantage of the more innovative energy-saving inverter technology. If you think about it, you'll spend even more than half less than if you buy a regular one in the market. I've seen how inverter air conditioning units have worked quite efficiently and people have even compared their electricity bills the month after, so just imagine how much they'll save in the long run.

Aside from that, they also released new Android, Smart, and ULTRA 4K HD LED TVs that also display videos in full HD. These new ones are also compatible with tablet and smartphone media sharing which they showed us during the event. I would have loved to have the Android TV because you can sign in and download Google apps directly and use them as is. Now imagine how many videos you can watch since you can connect this on your network. Or perhaps think about the tons of games you can play with it while watching Youtube videos or streaming iFlix shows too. If that doesn't make you happy, they've got the B7000U ULTRA HD 4K TV which will be released this first quarter, you'll have a mind blowing experience if you opt for that.

We had the chance to meet the young and good looking CEO of Haier, Mr. Nobuhito Hayashi and he mentions their plans of massive expansions in other regions like the US, Europe and Asia. He's seeing 2016 as a year for releasing new product and an even stronger company dynamic since they have invested strongly in their employees.

If that ain't enough, they went ahead and also released Top Load Washing Machines which you can personalize and program according to your "way" of washing your clothes. There's also the new Split-type and Window-type Inverter Air Conditioners which you can use in small office/home office structures so you can save a ton on your electricity bill. Add to that the extended warranty which is longer than normal industry standards for all their window-type air cons including two years of parts and labor, and five years for the compressor. That's super assuring. 

Make sure you take a look at Haier products in major appliance stores including SM Appliance Center, ABENSON, Anson, and Robinsons stores nationwide. They're making the bold moves now with the goals to ultimately become number 1 in the market and they've already made that a reality in different countries to hopefully assert themselves in the ASEAN region too.

Congratulations and thank you Haier for having us!

Chef Rosebud and Cheska Kramer Shares Tips On How To Save

I wrote about Electrolux a couple weeks ago about how to save electricity while washing clothes as part of the Electrolux Save & Share Blog Series. It's a campaign vent to have wives and people at home to save money and precious time by making household chores simple and carefree. We also got to interview their advocates Chef Rosebud Benitez and Cheska Garcia Kramer to help us and share their thoughts on saving.

You see, my Sister always had a hard time paying for electricity bills at home. The love we have for her always tells us to help her when she needs it. Our water bill looks a wee bit high too than the usual amount we pay for these past few months. This just means we have to take arrangements in using electricity and water at home. We asked how Chef Rosebud Benitez and Cheska Garcia Kramer about how they do it in their homes and this is what they've got to say.

We often use appliances at home,  sometimes we have a choice and sometimes we don't. How do we save on electricity? How do we save on water? How do we make sure that our utility bills won't spike up?

Chef Rosebud says "We've recently changed all our lights to LED to save on electricity and we make sure that we remove the plug of all appliances not in use. We also just had barrels installed that act as a rain saver to cut down on our water bill."

Cheska on the other hand says "I have a baby and my kids and they always use air conditioning. I’m not so strict with that. Although at night, I really do my rounds. I make sure all the lights are off, all the faucets are closed properly, there are no leaks, at the same time I do the washing of the clothes and ironing of the clothes on schedule. With that, we are able to monitor our electricity and water bill. I’m not the type of Mom that save utilities if it's for my kids. If they need air conditioning, I allow them to.Doug is the one who chooses our appliances but he always consults with me. In our family, we really practice him to be the head of the family. Big decision making and stuff like that, Doug is the one who does the research and at the same time, he will consult me. He’ll tell me “Hey honey, this is what we need to buy” then we’ll think about it.

Although he makes the big decisions, he also relies on my opinion. So when it comes to buying appliances, we always try to look for one that has the energy saving factor. So from our aircons to our refrigerator, because the refrigerator consumes more electricity right? - it has to be an energy saver. This goes the same for our washing machine. So we do really save a lot with our appliances because we consider that before purchasing anything."

It can be a challenging task to save when you have so many things to spend for at home. Why do you think is it important to save? Can you share tips on how people can do this?

For Chef Rosebud, it's quite easy. She says "It's very important to start saving for the rainy days. First thing one needs to do is to list down one's income and expenses, the essentials and non-essentials. Once you are clear about all the essential payments to be made, the next step you need to take is to manage all your expenses in an effective manner."

Cheska advises couples and says "Well for one, we cannot tell what the future holds, right. So that’s why my husband and I, we are really a team. We make decisions together and both our opinions matter so when it comes to saving, we are realistic also with our expenses. We are honest enough to say the exact time for us to buy, or it’s not time for us to be spending. So what we do is we make sure that, of course we have our monthly expenses and then we also set aside for our investment. So when we have enough money, we have the business. We put in in that business of ours and make sure that we are also able to save there to make our business grow. So the money for our business is only for our business. So whatever money that business makes, it only goes back to the business so that it will grow. We also invest in insurances for our children, for their education and health and that also goes for Doug and I. We also get our insurances, we also spoke to a financial planner and through our financial planner, they were able to see what we can set aside from our money so that we can be able to invest in our future and in our children’s future. So hand in hand, Doug and I talk about how else can we save, how else can we make sure that our children’s future is secured. We want Kendra, Scarlet, and Gavin’s future to be secured. So we’re very realistic with our spending. We’re very open to telling each other when time to spend and when it’s not. So that’s when our budget comes in. ‘Coz basically when you’re a married couple, you already know what your budget is. Like in one month, let’s say you probably need a sure amount of P20,000. On top of that, you have to know when to divide it, if it goes to our business or to our investment.

Both have to be realistic and both have to be open or honest to each other when it’s time to spend and not."

I think I can relate much more with Cheska because my Sister doesn't have savings or thought about investments. I think she lacks control over spending and doesn't even prioritize an exact amount when the time comes that they'd have to pay for utilities. She also decides with the people she loves and makes it a point to have specific budgets run on a monthly basis and still have more just for financial stability and freedom. Not to undermine Chef Rosebuds way, she gave us really cool ideas especially on itemizing and listing down expenses versus what we earn because that is as important as any other plan if we want to succeed and save on little things like utility. Those little things over time actually can be a big amount. It goes to show that it is achievable and possible to do it in a Philippine setting. I guess the next thing to do is talk to a financial planner and see how my Sister would be able to save and invest her hard earned money.

Wash Clothes and Save More with Electrolux Appliances

It's one of the not so liked chores that I would want to do. Washing clothes can be really tough for me especially when we all started with hand washing. These days, men can only think of one thing to buy their wives something to make things easier and sure enough, like in any home we just want a tough washing machine that can do the job. That's where Electrolux in the Philippines comes in. They used to go house to house with their men but today, you can easily find them in malls and stores when you need them, where you need them.

They now make heavy duty washing machines that does everything automatic. Something smart enough that these washer and dryers have their own Load Sensor which lets you know the amount of detergent and water to use when you put it in. It's well designed button system also lets you know what particular time to use for certain fabrics and what temperature to use as well. It also uses Vapour Action in one of its settings to get the ironing job later on easy. It shouldn't be hard for anyone to use without even looking at the manual. The Electrolux Stainwand top load type of washing machine on the other hand uses a retractable ultrasonic wand and T-Drive technology to easily get rid of those hard to remove stains each time you spin the clothes and make an effort when it's time to wash them. It smells fresh and you save energy by using the hardware efficiently with the only needed water and detergent no matter how big or small your load is. After all, smart people use smart appliances right?

Make sure you do the deed when choosing your companion in the hardest chores in your home. The last thing you would want to have is a laughable white elephant in your home that's not much use for the rest of your family. Take a moment and see what Electrolux can see in your home and it might be the greatest decision you'll have for a long time. That's the greatness that only Electrolux fabric care appliances. You know how it works, test it out on stores and see the difference, capisce?!
