With refrigeration appliances, you can reduce food waste
Acquiring a refrigeration appliance often becomes relevant unexpectedly – and in a hurry. Fortunately, modern household appliances offer not only energy efficiency and user convenience but also smart solutions for reducing food waste.
Many customers may not necessarily know what the differences are among refrigeration appliances at all. The purchasing decision is often made quickly when the old appliance has already broken down.
– This is why we exist. We assess the customer's needs and recommend the right product for their usage requirements, explains Vesa Kuisma, a dealer at Euronics in Klaukkala.
Energy efficiency and the volume of the appliance interest customers. However, few customers are aware of all the new features of refrigeration appliances. For instance, the temperature fluctuations of modern refrigerators are much smaller than those of older models.
– Shelf life can be almost three times longer, even though the appliances may look the same on the outside, Kuisma says.
User convenience has also improved. AEG and Electrolux refrigeration appliances stand out not only for their quiet sound levels and energy efficiency but also for their strong environmental responsibility. Sustainability is evident throughout the entire lifecycle of the appliance – from production to recyclability.
– Up to 70 percent of the internal parts of built-in refrigeration appliances are made from recycled plastic, which is quite exceptional in the industry. The carbon footprint is zero at the Electrolux factory in Europe – this indicates the direction in which the industry is heading, and we want to be pioneers in this area, says Mika Oikarinen, area sales manager for AEG and Electrolux brands.
Innovative solutions to prevent food waste
AEG and Electrolux refrigeration appliances focus on environmental friendliness and reducing food waste. The refrigerators feature technology that particularly emphasizes stable temperatures and proper storage conditions for different foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.
For example, Cooling 360 technology ensures uniform distribution of cold air throughout the refrigerator, which speeds up cooling and maintains temperature consistency. This is particularly beneficial when a large number of food items are added to the refrigerator at once.
– The Greenzone vegetable drawer has automatic moisture control. This helps keep vegetables fresh without the user having to do anything. With this and Cooling 360 technology, food waste can be significantly reduced, Oikarinen states.
If one acquired a refrigeration appliance ten years ago, they may be amazed at how much the technology has advanced since then. Twintech is AEG's dual cooling system, where the refrigerator and freezer operate independently with their own air circulation and temperature systems. This technology helps keep cool and moist air in the refrigerator while dry and cold air remains in the freezer.
The refrigerator can also have an app-controlled storage space, where the user can define what to store, and the refrigerator creates ideal conditions in the space.
– You can place three one-and-a-half-liter soda bottles for a children's party in the compartment. The app is informed that you want to cool the drinks to six degrees. Once the drinks have cooled, the app notifies the user of this.
Refrigeration appliances for every taste
Smaller refrigeration appliances and American-style refrigerators have gained popularity, especially in urban apartments and cottages where space is limited. Compact models provide a practical solution for small kitchens without compromising on appliance quality, even if some features have been slightly reduced.
– For example, American-style refrigerators are very common in downtown Helsinki because kitchens are often small, and there isn’t room for full-sized appliances, says Mika Oikarinen.
The popularity of built-in models is also continuously increasing. Refrigeration appliances are desired to blend in with the kitchen's appearance, and they are increasingly stored behind doors.
– AEG and Electrolux offer wider models among the built-in appliances, up to 70 cm wide models, which provide up to 45 percent more storage space.
Electrolux LNT7MC32W refrigerator-freezer features MultiFlow functionality, which keeps food at its best. This technology maintains a stable internal temperature in the refrigerator, preventing food from drying out.
Refrigeration appliance delivered straight to your home
Acquiring a refrigeration appliance is not an everyday purchase. For instance, when a freezer breaks down in the middle of summer, there is no time to waste.
– The items can be found readily available directly from our store, and at Euronics, we can deliver the appliance even the same day if necessary. This way, hard-earned berries or valuable meats can be saved from thawing, Kuisma notes.
The modern services offered by Euronics make the situation stress-free and smooth for the customer.
– There is no need to fetch a trailer and ask a neighbor for help. We deliver and install the refrigeration appliances with our own personnel. We deliver the appliance at the agreed time, set up the new appliance, and take away the old one – even the rubbish goes with it, sums up dealer Vesa Kuisma.
Customers especially appreciate reliability and speed.
– We get the job done right the first time. Even if there are some surprises, we will still see it through to the end, Kuisma emphasizes.
At Euronics stores, everything starts with service, and the customer is at the center of operations.
– Our service has a face. We are present and reachable when customers need us – and we handle the work from start to finish without outsourcing. That’s why communication works, and customer satisfaction is high.
DID YOU KNOW?
As an additional service, there is Euronics Turva insurance. The warranty for large household appliances is four years.
– It covers much more than just appliance defects – including problems caused by broken shelves or voltage spikes. The appliance will either be repaired or replaced with a new one without any excess or depreciation, Kuisma explains.
