Product news for allergy sufferers, people living in cramped conditions and energy-conscious people
Stick vacuum cleaners with vacuum bags, luxurious and compact espresso machines and hybrid laundry machines. APPLiA's member companies are constantly launching new innovative products for every room in the home. Below you can read more about some of the latest news. 
Stick vacuum cleaner with or without bag
Severin currently offers eight different stick vacuum cleaners, and the latest addition to the family is the Sepuro series, which consists of four models – two with a bag and two without. The Severin Sepuro Pro HV 7187 and Sepuro HV 7185 are equipped with a vacuum cleaner bag (with a volume of 1 liter) in the container, which means that you avoid the risk of being hit by a cloud of dust when you empty your container – a smart solution, especially for allergy sufferers.
Severin announces that thanks to their collaboration with Einhell, they can offer a battery with top-class performance, and up to 60 minutes of operating time on a full charge, which takes less than an hour. Sepuro is equipped with a digital motor, the motor power is 450W on the 7187 and 7186 (280W on the 7185 and 7184), the suction power is stated at 24,000 PA on the 7187 and 7186 (20,000 PA on the 7185 and 7184) and Severin provides a 10-year motor warranty.
The improved and motorized nozzle is equipped with LED lighting for more efficient cleaning, and thanks to the HEPA13 filter, 99.98% of the dust particles stay in the bag. To make Sepuro as complete as possible, a turbo nozzle for furniture, a bendable nozzle (for vacuuming bookshelves and cabinets - only included with 7187 and 7186), a small dusting brush for cars, for example, and a longer and narrower nozzle for ceiling moldings and other hard-to-reach spaces are included.
The vacuum cleaner, which has three speeds plus turbo mode, can be used perfectly without the handle so you can easily vacuum in the car and other tight spaces. Everything can be hung on the wall with the included hanging system.
The stick vacuum cleaners have an indicator that shows when the dust container is full and needs to be emptied, and the dust container on the models without a vacuum bag holds 600 ml.

Compact espresso machine on the wishlist
De'Longhi has launched the Dedica Arte manual espresso machine, as a stylish and compact espresso machine (only 15 cm wide), making it the perfect Christmas gift for someone with limited space on the kitchen counter.
The espresso machine has an integrated "My LatteArt steam wand" and filter holder for ground coffee as well as coffee capsules for one or two cups of coffee.
Dedica Arte has a cup warmer, 15 bar pressure, 1350W, rapid heating and a stop function so you can adjust the amount of coffee to the cup.
– My LatteArt steam wand ensures that you get the optimal, silky texture of your milk foam so you can experiment with LatteArt. With its compact design and elegant beige finish, this is a Christmas gift that will bring joy for many years, says Victoria Avén, Product Marketing Manager at De'Longhi Scandinavia.

Energy-efficient combination machine with hybrid technology
Bosch states that its new combined washer-dryer with Hybrid FlexAir (WDU8H542SN) has extra low energy consumption, as a hot air system heats the contents of the washing drum to reduce energy consumption by up to a third (compared to a Bosch machine without Hybrid FlexAir in the Eco 40-60 program with half a machine). The machine can wash and dry up to 6 kg in one go, or wash up to 10 kg, without drying.
Today, apartments are often built with smaller living spaces and large laundry rooms are rare, Bosch announces, explaining that it is no wonder that the segment for combined washing and drying products is growing, as a combination machine is the optimal solution for households that have little space, but who want to take advantage of the advantages and convenience of two separate machines. And with a washing machine and dryer in one, you don't have to keep track of when the wash cycle ends, but simply get both clean and dry laundry, without a break.
Just like a car, where hybrid technology combines two different power sources into a single efficient system, Hybrid FlexAir uses the dryer's hot air system to heat the wash water. This means that the drum reaches its target temperature faster, reducing the time required for the wash program. The solution consists of a hot air pump and a circulation pump.
For time-pressed situations, there is the Wash & Dry 60 program that washes and dries one kilo of laundry in just 60 minutes. The 20-minute Iron Assist program makes subsequent ironing much easier, or at best unnecessary, as the extra steam reduces the risk of creasing.
By connecting the machine to the Home Connect app, the user gains access to more smart programs, such as special programs for duvets, towels and shirts.
