Turkish consortium could buy Philips' home appliances division

A group of Turkish business associations is looking to buy the household appliances operations of Dutch health care equipment maker Philips, Turkish newspaper Sabah reported Friday.

Philips said in January it was looking to separate the household appliances arm, which makes vacuum cleaners and coffee machines and had $2.6 billion in sales in 2019.

Spokesman Steve Klink said the company is still in the process of disentangling the operations, a process expected to take 12-18 months.

"We would only expect to engage... (with potential buyers) after the summer," he said.

The Turkish group includes five leading organizations in the business world: The Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEİK), exporters' assembly TİM, the chambers and commodity exchanges union (TOBB) and business associations TUSİAD and MUSİAD.

"We as Turkey are the most powerful country in production between Germany and China. Hence an economic model must be created by the Turkish business world forming consortiums and buying global brands," said DEİK board member Murat Kolbaşı.

Turkey has a $1 billion small household appliances market while there are 10,300 small household appliances brands in the world market which are worth $100 billion.

Kolbaşı said that among those, Philips's home appliances arm is the largest with a 2.3 billion euro ($2.5 billion) turnover.

Trade Minister Ruhsar Pekcan had expressed support for the project, as well.

This smart appliance can replace your microwave slow cooker and more: 'Game-changing life-changing oven!'

Our team is dedicated to finding and telling you more about the products and deals we love. If you love them too and decide to purchase through the links below, we may receive a commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change.

Technology has, in one way or another, become one of the driving forces in just about every aspect of our lives. From communication to cooking, as the saying goes, "There's an app (or device) for that." Specifically in the kitchen, however, gadgets are nothing new. However, the introduction of Brava, adoringly dubbed the "Easy-Bake oven for grown-ups," has the sauce that shoppers say is both "game-changing" and "life-changing."

While there are seemingly countless countertop appliances on the market that boast signature tech features like the ever-popular Instant Pot and the slew of air fryers available at our fingertips, none seem to boast the elegance and targeted execution of the Brava.

So what exactly makes this appliance so special? Firstly, unlike conventional ovens and heat-powered appliances, it uses light only throughout the entire cooking process.

According to the product's description, this particular technique "allows Brava to achieve a blend of speed and consistency." With lamps located all throughout the device's interior, the Brava "can roast vegetables in half the time, poach eggs with ease, and sear steaks without overcooking them." Also, all throughout this robust cooking time, the outside of the device remains completely cool to the touch.

The cooking process also couldn't be simpler thanks to the guided prompts and instructions showcased on the touchscreen, which is located at the top of the device.

Here's how it works: Eliminating the need to stand over a stove or grill or constantly having the need to flip any proteins, Brava just requires that users prepare the ingredients. Once seasoned to your liking, place the ingredients on the suggested tray (included in the purchase), and slide them into the device. Now for the fun part: Follow the prompts, and let Brava work its magic — It's that easy!

Story continues

Also, users can cook up to three courses at once with this device, and, thanks to its internal cameras, the cooking process can be monitored from the screen or via the Brava app which also alerts you when your food is done.

On days when you're also not sure of what to prepare, Brava's built-in recipe guide features hundreds of full meal recipes (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts and more) and directions to get you started.

Proving that this kitchen gadget is arguably the only powerhouse your kitchen needs, Brava can sear, toast, bake, dehydrate, air fry, reheat and keep food warm. To give you an idea of its power and precision, this appliance can even roast an entire whole chicken in just 30 minutes!

So, what are shoppers' honest opinions of this one-of-a-kind kitchen gadget? According to one five-star reviewer, it's hands down, the "best appliance ever!"

"It took my mom a lot to convince me to get to buy the Brava. Mostly because I did not believe that something that good existed!" the shopper wrote. "It was love at first sight! it is sooooo easy and the meals come out just perfect. Love it!"

A second shopper dubbed it a "game-changing, life-changing oven" before gushing that it "has solved all of my problems when it comes to cooking and eating well."

"It has never been easier, faster, and simpler for me to make any food or meal of choice!" the shopper added. "I can make a full tray of butternut squash in 12 minutes, start to finish! I can make incredible seared salmon in 5 minutes and 30 seconds!"

A New York Times review of the Brava also sang its praises, dubbing it the next best kitchen invention to take over.

"The microwave oven did not revolutionize home cooking," author Florence Fabricant wrote. "Nor did sous-vide gadgetry. Now there's a new contender: the Brava Oven."

The folks at Brava have offered In The Know readers an exclusive $200-off discount on any of the three models(Starter Kit, Bake & Breakfast or Chef's Choice). Simply click on this link and a banner indicating that the discount is applied will appear at the top of your screen.

It should be noted that the only difference among these three options is the included number of extra cookware pieces and pans — each package comes with the appliance as well as a two-year Brava Plus Membership.

This complimentary membership is described as "the cloud service" that brings Brava chefs "into your kitchen." Through this program, premium recipes, cook modes and more are added to your Brava via an automatic software update that's pushed to the device every week via WiFi. The latest update (May 20) included a new slow cooker function, adding to the slew of features currently available for the device.

Brava's certainly the future of cooking. Take advantage of the exclusive offer, above. It expires on May 25 at 12:00 p.m. PST.

Sales soaring at Walmart Home Depot; Pier 1 to cease operations

Even as the coronavirus pandemic has devastated much of the retail industry, some of the nation's largest chains are thriving as customers stock up on groceries, home appliances and other essentials at unprecedented rates.

Retail giants Walmart and Home Depot on Tuesday reported big boosts in quarterly sales, propped up by panic-buying as Americans hunkered down at home.

Walmart said online sales surged 74 percent, lifting overall sales by nearly 9 percent from February to April.

Home Depot said its revenue rose 7 percent.

On the other side of the spectrum is Kohl's. The department store chain, whose stores have been closed in recent weeks, posted a 41 percent drop in revenue for the quarter, offering a stark reminder of how the pandemic is boosting some retailers while hurting others.

Consumer spending has dropped precipitously in the weeks since the pandemic took hold.

U.S. retail sales fell a record 8.3 percent in March, then plunged 16.4 percent in April, according to U.S. Commerce Department data, as Americans stopped spending on clothing, furniture, housewares and other nonessentials.

Retailers temporarily closed more than 260,000 stores because of the coronavirus outbreak, all but bringing business to a halt for many companies that rely on in-store shoppers to drive the bulk of their sales.

Four major retailers — J. Crew, Neiman Marcus, Stage Stores and J.C. Penney — already have filed for bankruptcy this month, and analysts say they expect others to follow as more companies run out of cash and the economy continues to sour.

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ADVERTISEMENT

Pier 1, which had filed for bankruptcy weeks before the shutdowns, announced Tuesday it would cease operations altogether. It had planned to closed 450 of its 936 stores and shed 40 percent of its workforce and find a buyer, but the pandemic ended those hopes.

"It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. The bigger, stronger players are taking even more market share," said Mickey Chadha, senior credit officer at rating agency Moody's.

"And the companies that were weak to begin with, they are only going to become weaker."

Making healthy home living accessible

Following the Covid-19 outbreak, Cuckoo International has started a corporate social responsibility awareness and educational campaign called Cuckoo Cares.

Through the campaign, the company has been actively extending its support to the government and Malaysians to help combat the pandemic.

Cuckoo International equipped Covid-19 quarantine centres at MAEPS Serdang and Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex with water purifiers and air purifiers worth more than RM200,000.

The home appliance brand has launched a series of Beyond Standards products and service to customers – the P10 multicooker, WonderDewi masks and WonderKlean disinfection service.

The products and service are in line with the company's vision to provide Malaysians a one-stop healthy home solution through Cuckoo's Healthy Home platform.

"We hope to increase the quality of living by making the healthy home concept accessible to all through our Cuckoo Healthy Home platform," said Cuckoo International founder and chief executive officer Hoe Kian Choon.

The different aspects of what makes a healthy home are categorised into four "pillars" under

its platform.

Each pillar features its own products or services. While the fourth pillar has yet to be launched, the three pillars are healthy appliances, healthy lifestyle and healthy home care.

Starting from water purifiers, Cuckoo houses a range of appliances, including air purifiers, multicookers, outdoor filter, induction hobs and kitchenware.

Healthy lifestyle focuses on beauty care and lifestyle. Leading the pillar is WonderLab, a skincare retailer featuring a range of skincare brands – Haruharu, Well Nature and WonderDewi.

Healthy home care focuses on delivering Beyond Standards services to customers. Through this pillar, Cuckoo International introduced the WonderKlean brand that provides indoor disinfection services with its specialised Cuckoo Healthy Home service team.

The P10 multicooker features nine cooking modes – white rice, turbo white rice, sushi rice, Gaba rice, porridge, multicook, baby food, bread ferment and oven.

Through the extensive and diverse cooking modes, consumers can prepare a variety of food, from as simple as cooking porridge to baking.

Most notably, the patented "MY Mode" technology gives users the flexibility of choosing their rice texture between normal and glutinous.

The multicooker can cook up to 10 cups of rice (1.8 litre). With its smart algorithm, Cuckoo technology ensures energy efficiency during the cooking process. The product is also durable with the X-Wall Diamond coating that can withstand high pressure and heat.

Meanwhile, the WonderDewi masks by WonderLab can improve and maintain healthy, hydrated and dewy skin. The masks feature four different types of sheet masks, each infused with natural extracts to nourish and care for different skin types.

With a gentle formula and tested by dermatologists, the masks are safe for daily use and aid in improving skin conditions.

WonderKlean disinfectant tablets are also safe and harmless to adults, children and pets. It is alcohol-free and non-flammable, odourless, has no irritant and non-corrosive (pH5-6).

The disinfection service is available via the WonderKlean website or at any Cuckoo E-Brandstores that also offer various other products.

The standard package contains one disinfectant tablet which is able to disinfect an area of up to 1,500sq ft while the superior package comes with three disinfectant tablets to disinfect an area of up to 4,500sq ft.

These disinfection services are done by a professional Cuckoo Healthy Home service team.

Cuckoo International is offering a one-time free disinfection service to be conducted during customers' Natural Care Service session from June to September 2020.

In addition, Cuckoo customers will receive exclusive customer specials, redeemable via any Cuckoo E-Brandstores.

Double-range ovens come in handy when you're cooking for a big family, or if you just want to do two things at once, like bake a cake while you simultaneously roasting a turkey. At 30 inches, the LG LDG4315ST is a big one—it's made with five burners. We found that it also exhibited exemplary performance when it came to core kitchen tasks, such as baking, boiling and simmering. At Appliances Connection, you can get it for $1,394.60, but if you remember to send in the $50 mail-in rebate (click the rebate link under the sales price for details on how to get it) by July 31, you'll actually only be spending $1,344.60 on this unit. Overall, that's a savings of $398.65, as this double-range oven is typically priced at $1,743.25.

This luxurious stainless steel refrigerator was included in our roundup of the best French-door fridges, and for good reason—its fingerprint-resistant finish is a dream for households with little ones, while the exterior ice and water dispenser works with the touch of a button. On sale at The Home Depot for $2,069, the price has been knocked down roughly $230 from its usual $2,299. Other highlights include a PowerCold feature, which works to cool down beverages and food quicker than average, a temperature-controlled deli drawer and bright interior LED lighting. In testing, we noticed that its freezer ran a bit warm but the fridge maintained a perfect 37 degrees Fahrenheit. Boasting more than 1,000 reviews, 88% of shoppers recommended purchasing this bad boy.

If you're looking to save big on a compact fridge, allow me to introduce you to the Frigidaire FFPE3322UM. When you add this model to your cart at Abt, this mini fridge, originally $209, falls to $159.04, giving you a 24% discount. "Frigidaire as a brand makes quality, yet affordable models," our Lab Testing Manager, Jonathan Chan, said. "At 18-inches wide, this is one of the slimmest compact fridges I've ever seen, so it can easily fit under countertops without getting in the way." Its interior also includes a full-width "chill zone" that's designed to house smaller frozen food items, with additional storage for 2-liter bottles along the door.

Besides the fact that this fridge is on the more stylish end of the spectrum, Danby's Contemporary Classic Chrome Mini Fridge has decent storage capacity (4.4 cubic-feet) to house stockpiles of meat and frozen veggies or even extra beverages that don't fit in your primary fridge. In fact, this baby is one of our favorite beer fridges due to its high performance, wowing us both with its humidity temperature control and features, such as the scratch-resistant chrome worktop and integrated door shelving. The one drawback our testers noted was its price, but you can currently snag this Danby model from P.C. Richard & Son for $278.10, down 10% from its original price of $309.

If there's one thing to point out about the GE Spacemaker GCE06GSHSB, it's that, despite its compact size, its features align more closely with a full-sized fridge than anything else. With a total capacity of 5.6-cubic feet, Jonathan points out all that it has to offer, such as bright interior lighting, a crisper drawer, and an attractive stainless steel exterior. It also boasts two glass shelves with an included can rack built into the inside of the door. This Memorial Day, you can nab this GE mini fridge for $458.10, $50.90 off its listed price of $509.

The Electrolux EFLS627UTT is the best front-load washer we've ever tested. It's the first-ever washer to have a built-in slot for detergent pods, which means that soap will distribute more evenly during each cycle.

Right now, you can get it at AJ Madison for $1,043—however, if you send in the $50 mail-in rebate (click the rebate link under the sales price for details on how to get it) before August 31, you'll pay just $933, which is the lowest price you'll find it anywhere online. As the Electrolux EFLS627UTT typically retails for $1,399, you'll be getting an overall savings of $316, which is sensational.

Or, you can even opt for our pick for the best countertop dishwasher, the stainless steel Danby DDW631SDB, which can be kept right beside your sink.

Generators

1. Honda EU2200i Inverter Generator

If you're shopping for a portable generator, the Honda EU2200i is arguably one of the best you can buy for short-term usage, like during a camping trip or if you want a basic backup power source. Right now, you can buy it for $1,049 at Home Depot. Though it's not marked as being on sale, it's actually $100 less than its usual cost of $1,149. That $1,049 price tag is also about $65 cheaper than what this top-rated inverter generator is going for online at other retailers. Specifically, this model is an inverter generator, which is an innovation on conventional portable models that draws power from a direct-current (DC) source, like a car battery, and then converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity. This type of portable generator has a reputation for being quieter than an ordinary one (although you'll want to note that this is different from a standby generator, which is larger and needs to be installed). These types are also known to run for longer periods of time—the Honda EU2200i, for instance, can be operated for up to six hours, even when the 0.95-gallon fuel tank is running on a 50 percent load. With a full tank, it can last for up to eight hours.

One of the other major advantages of this 2,200-watt inverter generator is that it's safe to use on everyday devices, like laptops and smartphones, so it'll especially come in handy if you need it during an emergency. While you should definitely exercise caution when you're using a portable generator and only use them outdoors in widely ventilated areas, it can be a great investment.
