Electrical Retail Sales Volume in June Showed Annual Increase of 7.2% According to the latest figures from the Central Statistics Office, retail sales of electrical goods by volume decreased by -2.3% in June, compared with May, but increased by 7.2% compared with June 2013.

Retail sales by value decreased by -3.1% on May but increased by 1.3% on an annual basis.

Overall, the volume of retail sales (i.e. excluding price effects) decreased by 1.7% in June 2014 when compared with May 2014 and there was an increase of 4.8% in the annual figure. When motor trades are excluded, there was no change in the volume of retail sales in June 2014 when compared with May 2014 and there was an increase of 3.6% in the annual figure.

There was a decrease of 0.3% in the value of retail sales in June 2014 when compared with May 2014 and there was an annual increase of 3.3% when compared with June 2013. If motor trades are excluded, there was a monthly increase of 0.1% in the value of retail sales and an annual increase of 2.1%.

Kenwood-De’Longhi Appoints Charlie Shiels as Distributor The Kenwood-De’Longhi Group has announced that Charlie Shiels Ltd is now an official distributor of all four brands: Kenwood, De’Longhi, Braun and kMix. The complete range is now displayed in a purpose-built section of the Charlie Shiels showroom.

Charlie Shiels now carries a full range of stock and will be responsible for exclusive distribution across the hardware sector, North and South, as well as servicing its existing customers across all platforms.

Nick Wilson, Director of Sales, De’Longhi, said: “We selected Charlie Shiels as our exclusive distributor because we see their reputation and trust in the industry as perfect partners to our existing staff and expect them to complement our brands’ progress into the future.”

Recovery Must Be Nurtured Retail Ireland said that the CSO figures showed that sales were beginning to recover after years of decline.

Director Stephen Lynam said: “For the month of June there were annual increases in sales in car dealerships, supermarkets, petrol stations, clothes stores and electrical outlets.

Furniture stores saw a huge 16% rise in the value of their sales, indicating movement in the property market. These increases were offset somewhat by falls in department stores, specialist food stores like butchers and bakeries, and in hardware outlets.

“A pattern of sales growth in 2014 has clearly emerged. While many sectors of retail remain in difficulty, sales overall have risen every month for the first half of the year, with second quarter growth, excluding motor sales, of over 2%, up from last year.

“This growth should not be taken for granted. The Government very wisely

included retail in their recently published list of priorities. We support calls from IBEC and others to give money back to consumers through reductions in income tax in the October budget. It is the best way to nurture growth in the domestic economy.”

Improvement in Second Quarter Colm Mallon, Territory Manager – Ireland, GfK, said: “Quarter 2 saw a general improvement in most categories, be that actual growth, or a lessening of declines.

“TV sales were boosted by the World Cup and the desire for larger screen TVs. Ultra HD also helped as volumes doubled from May to June, though from a low base. Home appliances had a strong quarter, with growth in both major and small appliances. Photo sales are still in decline overall, but at a lower rate.”

41% of Irish TV Homes Now Have Saorview Over the past four months, the number of Irish households that have Saorview has increased by 41,000. The total number of homes in Ireland with Saorview now stands at 653,000, up from 612,000 in May 2014, according to the latest household data from Nielsen. This means that 41% of all TV homes in Ireland have Saorview, either on its own or combined with other services.

Saorview recently ran an extensive advertising campaign promoting the benefits of Saorview and highlighting that, in 2013, 97% of the most watched television programmes in Ireland were available to watch for free on Saorview. The advertising campaign ran from April through to July on RTÉ television and featured strongly within the FIFA World Cup coverage on RTÉ Two. Following the campaign, Saorview undertook online research to understand how the campaign was received. The research showed that Saorview’s advertising messages were positively received among consumers with the message of “no contract, no monthly bills” resonating with more than three out of every five respondents, while the messages of “why pay for TV when you can get it for free” and “Ireland’s free digital TV service” were recalled by roughly half of the respondents.

Furthermore, Saorview’s key advertising messages were considered by in excess of 80% of respondents to be well delivered. Most importantly, more than one in three of those questioned (37%) said that the advertisement would motivate them to switch to Saorview.

Jim Higgins, Saorview’s Business Development Manager, told IER-Retail: “The latest household figures demonstrate that Irish TV consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of Saorview, enabling them to take control of the cost of watching television by using Saorview as part of their home entertainment. We have plans to further enhance the Saorview offer over the coming year, and the success of Saorview will continue.”

For electrical retailers, the analogue switchoff in 2012 delivered a much needed boost in sales, (mainly of set-top boxes, new TV sets and other Saorview-associated products). The availability of Saorview and satellite combi equipment and the increasing numbers of Smart TV sets featuring in manufacturer ranges, gives consumers greater choice than ever in terms of their TV choices.

Jim added: “Saorview offers the opportunity to generate greater value through the sale of Saorview Approved equipment and associated products for electrical retailers across the country. As consumers talk to their retailer about Saorview options, they discover that, when combined with other services such as free-to-air satellite and online content, Saorview delivers great choice at no ongoing cost.

“When a customer considers the purchase of a new TV, the availability of these features allows the retailer to upsell, and to add value to each transaction in terms of aerials, cables, and installation services. For the customer, the purchase of a new TV or set-top box can

New Look for Enhanced NordMende Ireland Website NordMende has unveiled its new NordMende Ireland website. The new site, www. nordmende.ie, follows on from the successful launch of the company’s NordMende UK catalogue and website, nordmende.co.uk.

In addition to an enhanced look, the site features significantly more product information than previously, as well as sharper, high-quality images.

It is also far more userfriendly, facilitating an enhanced user experience and being responsive to the device on which it is being viewed, – i.e. the website changes its layout if the user is browsing on a tablet or smartphone device.

Jim Higgins, Business Development Manager, Saorview be considered as an investment with a clear payback when pay-TV costs are reduced or eliminated from their monthly outgoings.”

Saorview will continue its marketing campaign throughout 2014 and beyond – and Jim will be happy to discuss promotional opportunities with retailers in advance of the key Q4 trading period.

Panasonic Reports Strong Growth in LCD LCD TVs, Lumix cameras and soundbars have been performing particularly well for Panasonic this year.

Tony Duggan, Sales Director, Panasonic Ireland, told IER-Retail: “Overall, business has been strong for us in the first few months of the financial year. Our LCD business has shown strong growth, which has offset the exit of plasma from our range. Large screen has been especially strong, with 50+ and above giving us a strong pillar to the business. Our overall LED volumes are up considerably.

“Our imaging business has also been very encouraging, with Lumix G System cameras more than doubling in the first four months of 2014, in value terms. This is being underpinned with strong demand for models such as the GH4, but also in recognition of our Which Photography Brand for 2014 _ the second year in a row that we have won this trusted and auspicious award, over more established photo brands.

“Audio as a category has been strongly underpinned with good business being done in soundbar and particularly soundboard.

Now, as we launch our new connected All Play systems, we can see additional opportunities for retailers to re-inject some value and expertise into a category that has been struggling in recent years. This is a huge area of growth and we have models, pricing and a strategy to ensure Panasonic dealers get their share of it.”

Minister Introduces WEEE Regulations On 16th July the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Phil Hogan TD, announced the range of measures and initiatives designed to attain the ambitious collection targets required by the EU’s new WEEE Directive.

“There has been a magnificent response by the Irish people to the WEEE system in Ireland,” he said. “It is almost unimaginable to us now, but the sight of discarded waste fridges, washing machines and other e-waste was commonplace throughout our countryside and towns only a few short years ago. The Irish public have demonstrated their commitment to their environment by eradicating this visible blight from our landscape and have proven that with the right awareness raising tools, convenient collection systems and a strong supporting infrastructure, that they will not be found wanting.”

Since the WEEE system was introduced in Ireland in 2005, over 300,000 tonnes of WEEE have been collected, which is the equivalent of 187kg per household. In 2013 alone, 35,568 tonnes of WEEE were collected, which is the equivalent of eight million small waste appliances. We now annually collect almost 8kg per capita of WEEE, which is double the target set by the original WEEE Directive. While significant achievements have been made, there are challenging targets ahead to divert even more e-waste from landfill as determined by the new WEEE Directive. A collection target of 45% of electronic equipment placed on the market will apply from 2016, and then 65% of equipment placed on the market, or 85% of electronic waste generated, must be

collected by 2019.

New visible environmental costs came into effect from 1st July to a limited range of electrical and electronic equipment and on a significantly reduced level compared with the costs introduced with the original WEEE Regulations in 2005. The application of these costs triggers the introduction of a range of measures to promote and support increased take-back of WEEE which includes an incentivisation scheme for electrical retailers to encourage them to take back as much WEEE as possible from members of the public, direct funding by electrical producers to support local WEEE collection systems at civic amenity facilities, and further funding to defray EPA enforcement costs and to support much needed WEEE related research.

The Minister added: “The support for the WEEE system being provided by electrical and electronic equipment producers represents a very significant development in the producer responsibility system in Ireland as, for the first time, industry has formally recognised their role in providing financial support for statutory bodies with responsibility for overseeing and supporting the implementation of polluter pays policy in the State.”

The Minister urged all stakeholders, in particular the two producer compliance schemes ERP Ireland and WEEE Ireland, the National WEEE Register, the retail sector, local authorities and the EPA, to continue to work together in a focussed and cohesive manner to support the public who have worked so hard to make this initiative the success that it is.

Things Get Messi at Beko Significant support is going into the Beko brand in 2014 with FC Barcelona sponsorship, the launch of a new Americanstyle refrigeration range, and continued consumer-focused multi-channel marketing.

In July Beko signed a new agreement with FC Barcelona to become the club’s worldwide sponsorship partner for the next four years.

The deal will see Beko’s new logo featured on the sleeve of the new team jersey and training kit _ a first for any commercial brand.

Information on key features is provided along the user journey to help aid the decision-making process. Visitors are then presented with recommended Beko products that suit their specific needs.

American-Style Fridge Freezer Beko has also just launched a range of new EcoSmart American-style fridge-freezers, following strong category growth and continued consumer demand for premium side-by-side appliances. Leading the range is the non-plumbed water and ice model, correct temperature for a fridge-freezer, and utilising the Neofrost technology to prolong the life of fruit and vegetables.

Mustafa Koç, Chairman of the Board, said: “It gives me great pleasure to be part of such a significant moment, which brings together two world renowned brands, Beko and FC Barcelona, within one partnership. Beko’s expansion into global markets has been a success story. The international recognition and awards Beko wins for its innovative products and its state-of-the-art technology makes us proud and honoured. Such achievements lift our spirits to do even more.

“This is the start of what I am sure will be a long and mutually rewarding relationship between Beko and FC Barcelona, because both brands have so many shared values, inspirations and beliefs.”

Interactive Appliance Finder Beko has also added an interactive easy appliance finder to its website to help demystify the process of choosing the right home appliance.

The new digital tool helps shoppers find the right product for their needs in just a few clicks, taking consumers through carefully selected questions focusing on personal preferences, capacity required and space available for the product.

Viewers were also given the chance to win the new ASN541X Non Plumbed Water and Ice model on the show by sending in a fridge selfie _ and after much deliberation the winning pic is the one above.

Beko worked with the Energy Saving Trust in the UK to verify that Eco-Smart appliances can save consumers money, and there are lots of helpful tips and relevant information on www.beko.ie.

Shane Kelly, Head of Marketing, Beko Ireland, told IER-Retail: “At Beko we are constantly looking to innovate and deliver what Irish consumers want _ energy, time and cost efficient appliances that are stylishly designed to look good in the home and help the modern Irish family.

“Our investment in this multi-media marketing campaign is further proof of Beko’s commitment to the Irish market as we approach our 25-year milestone next year. It will also continue to drive consumer demand for Beko products throughout the second half of 2014, and the unprecedented partnership with FC Barcelona will really amplify our already strong brand awareness in Ireland.”

Indesit Company Ireland

…STRAIGHT TO THE CORE FOR FEATURES, VALUE AND AVAILABILITY This year, Indesit Company Ireland will be focusing on a core range of washing machines from both Indesit and Hotpoint brands, that have been specially selected for the Irish market to provide retailers with trade up opportunities, consistent availability and competitive prices.

GABRIEL MURTAGH, CHANNEL DIRECTOR FOR INDESIT COMPANY IRELAND

“This year, we’ve selected a tight range of washing machines to form our core range, as they’re a perfect fit for our market.”

Offering load sizes from 6kg to 9kg, there are considerable trade up opportunities for retailers and, because we’re focusing on a smaller range of products, we can guarantee consistent availability, so they can be in our retailers’ stores and consumer’s homes quicker.

“Increasingly these days, consumers are demanding laundry products that save them money. Not only are these appliances competitively priced, they’re also packed with stateof-the-art technology and features for great cleaning at a much lower cost, and they save energy and water with every wash.

“We’ll also be introducing our new Hotpoint Ultima S-Line range of washing machines that combine intelligent features with cutting edge design.

Plus, we’re extending our incredibly successful Hotpoint HD Line of small appliances and we’ve got a new range of designer freestanding microwaves from Hotpoint to match our existing ranges.

“And that’s not all – we’ll also be revealing the fantastic news that all Hotpoint major domestic appliances will come with a 10 year parts warranty from 1 September.”

TRADE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

CORE RANGE OF WASHING MACHINES • Three models from Hotpoint’s new Eco Experience range – value for money appliances with the latest technology, including the Auto+ Load sensor which calculates the exact amount of water the machine needs to match the load.

NEW HOTPOINT ULTIMA S-LINE • As smart as they are stylish, the new Ultima S-Line washing machines give you fast, thorough, energy efficient cleaning.

• Two levels of steam cleaning to get rid of odours without going through a wash cycle, or for an extra boost at the end of the wash.

• Super silent running – ideal for open plan homes.

• Anti-Stain Quick - As well as Anti-Stain Technology, the S-Line range also offers Anti-Stain Quick, which remove 16 of the most common everyday stains in one wash, with no pre-soaking, in just 60 minutes.

HOTPOINT HD LINE • New value range of small appliances to be launched in autumn.

• Range includes new irons, kettles and toasters.

• Two coffee machines designed in partnership with coffee specialists illy using illy’s IperEspresso technology for Barista.

HOTPOINT HD LINE MICROWAVE COLLECTION • Created by Japanese design guru Makio Hasuike.

• Five freestanding appliances ranging from solo to combination microwaves.

• Sleek black glass finish with stainless steel fascias that co-ordinate perfectly with Hotpoint’s premium built-in range and HD Line of small appliances.

“Stop Rogue Collections and Hoarding” Says WEEE Ireland Ireland needs to put a stop to rogue collection and hoarding of electrical items (WEEE) if new EU recycling targets are to be met, warned WEEE Ireland as it announced its 2013 recycling figures.

In 2013, 25,651 tonnes of WEEE were collected and recycled by WEEE Ireland, equating to 45% of all WEEE items placed on the market by its members. These figures are an increase on previous years, but show a significant gap of 55% of WEEE items on the market that are not being disposed of correctly and entering the proper WEEE recycling channels.

The 25,651 tonnes collected included: •

5,512,000 small household appliances

•

2,576,000 lamps

•

505,000 large household appliances

•

•

66,000 fridge-freezers

Leo Donavan, Chief Executive, WEEE Ireland, said: “The continued rise in the number of ‘non-authorised’ collections and improper recycling of WEEE being carried out across the country is of huge concern to us.

Despite the recycling of unwanted electrical and battery waste being free and easy to do, not all of this waste is making its way back into an authorised system. As a result of

10

these ‘rogue’ collections, Ireland may be at risk of not achieving its challenging future EU recycling targets.

“The other issue here is that rogue collectors are not properly recycling WEEE, which is a serious issue for the environment.”

Hoarding Another factor that WEEE Ireland has identified as contributing to the 55% of WEEE items on the market that are not being recycled correctly is the number of items that people are hoarding in their homes.

“Households up and down the country have many items of WEEE waste sitting idle that could be recycled,” Leo added.

“During the Saorview campaign we saw an unprecedented rise in the number of televisions recycled.

People tend to store electrical items in the garage, under the stairs, in attics, instead of simply bringing it to an authorised collection for free recycling. We are urging people not to keep electrical waste and waste batteries lying around the house.”

WEEE Ireland has outlined a number of actions that will make it as easy as possible for households to recycle their items through an authorised system and increase our overall recycling rates ensuring that we achieve our new EU recycling targets by 2018: •

Bring electrical waste to an authorised collection point

•

Bring electrical waste to free WEEE Ireland collection events

•

Give electrical waste to retailers for recycling

•

Bring electrical waste to local authority recycling.

market update

GfK: “Premium Products Play Their Part” Summarising GfK’s update on the Irish market for this year’s second quarter, Colm Mallon, Territory Manager, Ireland, said: “Quarter 2 saw a general improvement in most categories, be that actual growth, or a lessening of declines. TV sales were boosted by the World Cup and the desire for larger screen TVs. Ultra HD also helped as volumes doubled from May to June, though from a low base. Photo sales are still in decline overall, but at a lower rate.

“Home appliances had a strong quarter, with growth in both major and small appliances. MDA was boosted by many retailers buying in extra stock in advance of the new WEEE regulations, and in turn looking to sell

this stock through. SDA also grew, driven mainly by coffee makers, food prep and vacuum cleaners. All three of these areas benefit from having premium product that consumers are willing to pay more for, which is reflected in the fact that value grew more than volume.

“In IT, tablets grew in volume only while value started to decline. It is expected that volume will start to decline also given the now relatively high ownership levels. Value peaked in Q4 2013 and is in decline due to lower average pricing as a result of smaller screen sizes and of more entry-level product being available.”

+3% TV Market Growth

Strong Quarter for Major Appliances

The past 12 months have seen the consumer electronics market in Ireland fall -20% in value. However, June 2014 versus June 2013 was just -2% down in value. Of course, some of the improvement is down to the impact of the World Cup on the TV market. However, there has been growth in audio systems and portable radio in the last quarter.

The majority of the improvement has come from the TV market, up +3% in value, June 2014 on June 2013.

The World Cup is a factor but the biggest growth is in 50”+ TVs (+51% June on June) and, regardless of the football, few consumers own these ‘jumbo’ TVs. Prices have fallen to more affordable levels so we expect this sector to continue growing for the foreseeable future.

This should carry with it growth in sound bars and TV wall mounts. An increasing proportion of these TVs will be Ultra HD, which saw its best ever sales level in June across the key European countries. In Ireland volume sales of UHD sets were more than double the record figure from the May data _ a very promising start indeed.

Q2 was a bumper period for the white goods market in Ireland.

Overall MDA 8 sales (washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, cooling, freezers, cooking, hobs and hoods) rose 17% in volume and 7% in value compared to the same period last year.

Sales across all categories were boosted by strong trading over Easter and the bank holiday weekends in May and June, with consumers keen to take advantage of retailer promotions as prices were down 8% this quarter.

The re-introduction of the visible WEEE fee meant many retailers bought extra stock in advance of this, and were keen to move this through, hence the price promotions. Both total freestanding and built-in appliances achieved double digit growth, with the cooling and dishwashers categories rising by over 20%. Within these two top performing markets, sales of built-in products outpaced freestanding in terms of growth.

Larger drum sizes continue to fuel washing machine sales, in

12

ier ·Retail

particular 8kg products, which now account for almost a third of all washing machines bought in Q2.

Premium Product Drives SDA Growth The Small Domestic Appliances market (food preparation, hot beverage makers, irons, kettles, toasters, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, hair stylers and shavers) has recorded consecutive monthly growth versus last year for the first half of 2014. Q2 value sales increased by 11% with the market worth just over €21.5 million, and volume sales reported a healthy 9% rise.

Obviously the impact of camera-enabled smartphones and their frequent upgrade process is having a huge impact here. Changeable lens product that is more complex and ‘professional’ is increasingly where a high proportion of the value sits. Value declines here in compact system and SLR have fallen in June to -10% and -17% respectively.

So, while we don’t have growth, there is at least a slowdown of the decline. This situation is not specific to Ireland and is common across many developed countries.

There is one good news story in the photographic domain, in the moving image category. Here, while traditional camcorder sales have been falling, action cameras have grown in value in the past 12 months by close to 300%. For the first time value sales overtook traditional camcorders in a single month in June.

So higher end and more niche products are becoming more popular among consumers and driving accessory sales as well.

IT Market Splits into Two The Irish IT market declined in Quarter 2 by 3.8% in value. The market was split in two in terms of performance, with laptops, tablets, and monitors showing declines, but there were strong sales for desktop computers and the storage market.

Demand for premium products has been responsible for driving the unprecedented value growth over the past three years across most categories but also consumer demand influenced by media-driven lifestyles and technology.

The key sectors contributing to the overall market value growth are vacuum cleaners, which now represent 36% of the total category, but also coffee machines and food preparation appliances.

The three aforementioned markets combined account for just over 60% of the overall additional SDA value sales, an impressive increase of 13% compared to the same period last year.

Within each sector, high value products such as single serve coffee machines, which use pods from a single supplier, kitchen machines and lightweight vacuum cleaners such as handsticks are proving popular.

Looking ahead, 2014 is set to be a good year overall for small domestic appliances as the category is enjoying a great first half of the year.

The improving consumer confidence levels may also help stimulate sales of more premium appliances over the key gifting season.

Camera Market Decline Slows Down The camera market in Ireland continues to decline. Over the past 12 months the value drop sits at -34%. Thankfully the pace of decline is slowing _–Quarter 2 2014 fell by -23% compared to the same period in 2013. The biggest issue is in fixed lens cameras, which have seen a value drop of 41% year on year.

Tablets did see positive volume growth of 1.9%, but negative value growth of -5.7%, due to price declines of 7.5%. The continued story of tablets is that of moving away from the larger 10” more expensive models and towards the more portable, lower priced 7” models. The high end, large tablet market is also suffering erosion from hybrid tablets.

Hybrid tablets are tablets that run full operating systems like laptops and therefore compete as a replacement for laptops rather than a supplement like traditional tablets do. Hybrid tablets grew 227.2% in volume and 143.8% value in June as prices have come down rapidly, moving this product group out of its early adopter stage. By comparison, traditional laptops (excluding hybrids) were down -24.6% volume and 28% value in Q2, so both markets are being affected by hybrid growth.

Elsewhere in the market desktop computers continue their ascent into growth, up 27.1% in volume and 15.7% in value. The re-emergence of desktops is being driven by traditional towers rather than the newer all-in-one form factor. AIOs were down 4% volume and 13.5% value in June. Desktops are mainly preferred by consumers due to them being more powerful than laptops and AIOs sacrifice power for a more svelte form, which consumers do not value as highly in a desktop as in a laptop or tablet.

company profile

Philips Brand Still Strong and Growing Visitors to the Philips showroom at South County Business Park during the trade shows will find newly revamped displays and a stronger than ever range of products from a brand that Irish consumers want and ask for.

‘Consumerables’ such as small audio, portable DVDs and ghetto blasters (in which red is the biggest selling colour) continue to be popular.

Philips also offers an extensive range of headphones with new packaging, including noise-limiting models and award-winning models with SRPs of €199 and €249. The A5-PRO professional DJ headphones have been specifically designed by international DJ legend Armin van Buuren to meet his needs as a globetrotting DJ (see page 56).

Philips’ range of DECT products has also been widened, and new DesignLine products will be introduced in 1Q2015.

In 2012, during the restructuring that preceded Philips televisions being no longer distributed on the Irish market, responsibility for all other consumer electrical products _ in 15 categories _ was transferred to a new Allegro Philips Electrical Division.

Since then the Philips team have made the Philips brand stronger than ever, said Kevin Nugent, Sales & Marketing Manager, Philips Consumer Lifestyle Division. “The Irish consumer wants the Philips brand and it is still strong and growing: we have ‘gone back to basics’ by holding stock, calling in regularly to our customers, and offering them good propositions _ it’s not rocket science!”

Domestic Appliances In floorcare, Philips is offering six vacuum cleaners _ three bagged and three bagless _ either A or B energy rated and all 2016 compliant with motors no more than 850W. “New categories” are promised in kitchen appliances for 2015, while for 2014 the Airfryer (see page 54), kettles, toasters, and juicers are strong sellers, and juicers, sales of which have quadrupled over the past 12 months, are now achieving higher price points.

In garment care, the PerfectCare technology is unique to Philips and

Audio The trade show will present the strongest ever range of audio products, including the reintroduction of towers at the right price points. Bluetooth will feature strongly _ and will be in 43% of all products by 2015.

Soundbars continue to be good sellers and there is now an entry-level Bluetooth model.

A retro-styled range of audio products includes a Classic Record Player that will rip LPs to MP3s and which promises to be a big seller in Q4.

in the new PerfectCare Pure steam generator and PerfectCare Azur steam iron it is teamed up with Philips’ OptimalTemp technology, which eliminates a temperature dial, and the new T-ionicGlide soleplate (see page 54).

Shavers will be strongly promoted in Q4 and while other male and female grooming products are still relatively small sales are increasing in a sector that some electrical retailers are missing out on as pharmacies take the lead.

Sonicare, the global number one and the most recommended sonic power toothbrush, is now moving up into higher price points.

Johnny Dunne, Chairman, White Goods Association “Achieving the visible fees was a long, hard-fought battle, led by the WGA with the support of all the main indigenous Irish suppliers, but we got there! The Department could see that recoveries were reducing and that leakage was increasing.”

After several years of reduced sales, white goods have started to climb back up, with a 9% increase by volume and just under 8% by value to the end of May.

“We have certainly reached the bottom and sales are beginning the climb,” Johnny Dunne, Chairman of the White Goods Association, told IER-Retail.

“The figures for January _ March were down by about 4% on 2012 figures, but June was up 32%, no doubt partly influenced by the reintroduction of visible fees, (or vEMCs) from 1st July.

“There are definitely ‘two economies’, in Dublin and the rest of the country, with the Dublin area inevitably quicker to recover, as can be seen in the increased house starts and increasing house prices. The RMI sector (repairs, maintenance and improvements) has been bouncing back since last September / October.

“The WGA has 14 members representing 87% of the white goods market and our figures are an accurate reflection of that market.”

WGA Figures “The White Goods Association, which is an organisation within IBEC, currently has 14 members and they represent about 87% of the total market (see table across).

“We have employed an external auditor for the past three years, who has helped to eliminate inaccuracies, often resulting from entries being made into the wrong category, and so the WGA figures are now an accurate reflection of the market in white goods.

“We have also introduced new categories as we ‘drill down’, such as steam ovens and built-in microwaves.

and the first year was very time consuming working on the revised EU Directive on WEEE and the Irish WEEE Regulations (S.I. 149 of 2014) that came into effect on 29th March, and with vEMCs on 1st July.

These are €10 for Category 1.1 appliances (American side-by-side), €5 for Categories 1.2, 1.2a and 1.3 (all Large Domestic Appliances), and €5 for Category 4.1 (large TVs with 32” screen and greater). Achieving these was a long, hard-fought battle, led by the WGA with the support of all the main indigenous Irish suppliers, but we got there! The Department could see that recoveries were reducing and that leakage was increasing.

“There are a number of significant differences between WEEE1 and WEEE2. While retailers must continue to take back WEEE from private households on a one-to-one basis, a new requirement for retailers with an EEE sales area greater than 400 sq m is that they must take back small WEEE (less than 25cm) without any obligation on consumers to purchase a new item.

“An important change is that retailers are no longer allowed to drop off WEEE at their local CA site.

“Another is that distance sellers must now appoint a local based agent (authorised representative) who will be responsible for ensuring their WEEE2 obligations are carried out in full. This will help to ‘level the playing field’.

“Retailers who join the ‘Retailer take back programme’, which became effective on 1st July, will be paid based on WEEE tonnage collected from their premises: €80 + VAT for all LHA, TVs and monitors, and €30 + VAT for all other mixed WEEE.

“A marketing fund of €2 million is available over a 24-month period, which will be allocated to retailers based on the percentage of WEEE returned in 2013, and generic POS material with a ‘WEEE Take Back’ slogan is being made available to retailers.”

Cautious Optimism Prevails as Trade Shows Beckon

(See Trade Show Quick Guide on pg: 64).

Retail sales of electrical goods in June increased by 7.2% in volume compared with June 2013 and by 1.3% in value, according to the latest figures from the Central Statistics Office.

GfK Ireland reports that the TV market was up 3% in value in June, compared with June 2013, and major domestic appliances were up 17% in volume and 7% in value in Q2, while small domestic appliances were up 9% in volume and 11% in value.

Colm Mallon, Territory Manager _ Ireland, GfK, told IER-Retail: “Q2 saw a general improvement in most categories, be that actual growth, or a lessening of Colm Mallon, Territory Manager _ Ireland, GfK declines. TV sales were boosted by the World Cup and the desire for larger screen TVs. Ultra HD also helped as volumes doubled from May to June, though from a low base.”

This upward trend was also confirmed by Johnny Dunne, Chairman of the White Goods Association, who told IER-Retail: “After several years of reduced sales, white Johnny Dunne, Chairman, White Goods Association goods have started to climb back up, with a 9% increase by volume and just under 8% by value to the end of May.

reached the bottom and sales are beginning the climb. However, there are definitely ‘two economies’, in Dublin and the rest of the country, with the Dublin area inevitably quicker to recover.”

The two main buyer groups are also reporting growth among their retail members. Ciaran O’Reilly, Chief Executive of Expert Ireland, told IER-Retail: “Business is getting better, with whites and browns both improving and June pretty good and also July across all categories, but it is still difficult.

However, there has been some level of positivity over the past two months – and so we can now see the tunnel!

“Since April Expert Ireland has fully centralised all IT products and accessories and this has proved positive and Aidan Candon, Chief successful to date. Executive, Euronics Ireland We haven’t made any dramatic changes in suppliers to date, but we will be reviewing at the end of August.”

was echoed by Gabriel Murtagh, Channel Director for Indesit Ireland, who told IER-Retail: “The trade show is a great way to meet with retailers and for them to see all our products first hand and take up some fantastic special offers.

Gabriel Murtagh, Channel Director, Indesit Ireland

New Showrooms, Brands This general optimism is reflected in the number of suppliers who are revamping their showrooms and introducing new brands, including Philips; KAL, with Bauknecht, Haier and Sharp; Charlie Shiels, now a distributor for Kenwood, De—Longhi, Braun, kMix, and Vax; Dimpco, with Braun Personal Care Products, and Shomar, which is launching an extensive range of small domestic appliances, including a white label offering.

Aidan Candon, Chief Executive of Euronics Ireland, told IER-Retail: “Over the first six months of the year we were up double-digit figures year-on-year. There are definite signs of improvement, but the economic climate continues to be tough.

Suppliers are also working with retailers to develop their instore displays. One such is Dyson, which is rolling out new displays, commencing with some Harvey Norman stores _ the prototype in Carrickmines, then Swords and most recently a refined version in Naas _ but continuing with variations on the theme to suit retailers across the country.

“White goods have been particularly good, whereas brown goods remain difficult, with 42” and higher TV screen sizes and soundbars doing best. We are developing our own stands for tablets and our extended warranty sales are doing well.

Beyond the trade shows, the industry awaits to see what implications there will be for Ireland, if any, of Whirlpool’s €758 million purchase of 60% stake in Indesit, and if rumoured moves for other major brands in January come about.

“Euronics, in conjunction with a supplier, organises a social gathering during the trade shows in order to encourage members to come up to Dublin and to support the trade shows, which are still very relevant, particularly for independents to meet new suppliers, see new products, and to focus on the upcoming season.”

Aga City60 for Small Spaces

New Nexus, Hi-Lite and Classic Range Cookers

At just 60cm wide _ the same size as a slotin cooker or a standard kitchen unit _ the new Aga City60 (SRP: €6,750) is ideal for small spaces.

Like other Aga cookers, it is made from cast iron, employs radiant heat cooking technology, is room vented so can be sited anywhere, and is mounted on wheels for easy moving.

There are two ovens, offering roasting, baking and simmering functions and a hotplate for boiling and simmering. With programmability on the roasting/baking oven, with up to three events pre-set per day, there is no need to wait for the main oven to heat up.

The new Nexus range cooker from Rangemaster and Waterford Stanley offers a deluxe hotplate, with five gas burners and two ceramic zones, an improved grill with a deeper pan and a flexible four-way trivet that gives four grilling depths, a new three-button timer, new rotary controls made from diamond turned and anodised aluminium, and a unique bread proving drawer that doubles as a standard storage drawer.

resulting in increased pan space as well as robust cast iron pan supports.

The drawer is operated by a simple on-off switch, located on the left hand side of the cooker fascia. Slots in the base allow warm air to flow from the element, situated on the chassis, and the drawer can accommodate 3x2lb loaf tins or a baking tray for bread rolls or hot cross buns, which fit into the pre warmed oven straight after the mixture has been proved.

The Nexus became available in 110cm Dual Fuel from the first week in June, Induction will be available in September, and a 90cm option will be introduced in the final quarter of the year.

Fisher & Paykel Appliances

11-Function Single Oven, DishDraw Dishwashers, CoolDraw Refrigeration, French Door Fridge-Freezers, Gas on Steel Cooktops and Domino Hobs Fisher & Paykel recently won international awards for the design of its 60cm Builtin Oven, Gas on Glass Cooktop, and CoolDrawer, supporting the company’s commitment to creating products that look as beautiful as they work.

Following on from the red dot award for design, the OB60SL11DEPX1 builtin single oven with a 77-litre useable cavity and 11 functions recently received a Good Housekeeping Institute Approved Accreditation. Nine-function and sevenfunction models are also available.

An intuitive control system allows easy cooking mode selection, with up to 11 functions to optimise the cooking performance. An electronic thermostat controls temperature variation during the cooking process, ensuring consistent temperatures in the oven cavity. Another feature is Fisher & Paykel’s unique ActiveVent technology, which maintains and controls moisture during the cooking process.

drawers glide open for easy access, visibility and better ergonomics. With the DishDrawer double dishwashers, both drawers operate independently so different wash cycles can operate simultaneously to accommodate a variety of loads. Glasses, pots and pans can be washed in separate drawers at the same time.

Nine wash programmes comprise Rinse,

Fast Eco, Fast, Delicate Eco, Delicate, Normal Eco, Normal, Heavy Eco, and Heavy. The range of settings enables the DishDrawer dishwasher to wash everything from fine glass and crystal to heavily soiled pots and pans at the touch of a button.

Primary and secondary controls provide a simple interface for programme selection and operation, while the ‘delay’ start setting means the dishes can be done when it is most convenient.

Fisher & Paykel’s SmartDrive wash mechanism is a brushless DC motor, and acts as both a wash pump and a drain pump, which means fewer moving parts and greater reliability. The pump brings water into the spray arm, which rotates at different speeds depending on the wash cycle selected, to deliver a superior clean and better dish care.

CoolDrawer

All the oven functions are preset at the touch of a dial, and are highlighted on the fascia when selected along with the oven temperature. Illuminated halos that surround the dials inform the user the oven is on, and whether or not it has reached the selected temperature. Each function is preset to a temperature, but can be reset if required.

DishDraw Dishwashers DishDrawer dishwashers can be concealed easily behind kitchen cabinetry to seamlessly blend in with the kitchen and the ergonomic design minimises bending by requiring less movement to open, load and close.

The single DishDrawer dishwasher achieved a Best Buy endorsement from Which? for its superior cleaning and quiet operation.

uninterrupted access to 800mm wide shelves, with numerous shelving options enabling easy customisation for different uses. A spacious full extension drawer and storage bins provide ergonomic solutions for freezer items.

The RF540 comes with a unique ice and water system that is fully integrated, chilled water easily dispensed through the door, and an internal ice making system that does not use any storage space in the refrigerator.

ActiveSmart consists of a microprocessor, interior temperature sensors, independently controlled variable speed fans and multiple air ducts. The microprocessor controls how the refrigerator operates based on changing patterns of use. The sensors continuously send information to the microprocessor, which analyses and adjusts the fan speed and compressor operations accordingly to deliver a consistent and stable temperature.

Continuous feedback means that ActiveSmart adjusts to the load and temperature changes. Its ability to respond to daily use means that it only uses the energy to keep the food fresher for longer, and has a number of other benefits.

Sensors constantly record changes to fridge and freezer compartments, including when the doors are opened and when new items are introduced, ensuring temperature in each compartment is kept constant.

A Humidity Control System, together with the cool and consistent temperature delivered by ActiveSmart, creates the ideal microclimate for fruit and vegetables.

RF610ADX4 Fridge-Freezer The RF610ADX4 fridge-freezer comes with all the features of the RF540, same size and capacity, but minus the ice and water option.

The RF522ADX4 519-litre French Door fridge-freezer has slightly less capacity than the RF540, and without the drinks dispenser, but includes ActiveSmart technology.

Hob Solutions

The RB90S64MKIW1 CoolDrawer has been designed to change from a refrigerator to freezer at the touch of a button. It is built on the concept of distributed refrigeration, combining ActiveSmart technology with a drawer-based design that can be placed anywhere in the kitchen, home or entertainment area.

The CoolDrawer provides five temperature settings to deliver total flexibility _ freezer, chill, fridge, pantry and wine modes, merging intelligence with convenience.

Fresh Control preserves long-lasting food freshness for up to four times longer, throughout the entire refrigeration cabinet, not in just one drawer. Fresh Control constantly checks the humidity inside the refrigerator. The exclusive humidity control sensors ensure the humidity level is maintained between 70% and 85%, unlike traditional models that guarantee only 30%.

Foods do not dehydrate and their nutritional value, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants are all preserved for longer.

In addition, the 6th Sense technology senses variances in the temperature and restores it to the correct level five times faster for longlasting freshness (compared to a Whirlpool model without 6th Sense technology).

The contemporary aesthetic of the WSX 53782K FCX includes the new Starlight LED lighting system in the fridge interior, which ensures better illumination and includes LED lights in the ceiling and on the cabinet side.

There is also a new external ice and water dispenser, which lights up when in use, and the handy in-door ice dispenser can be taken to the table for topping up the drinks with ice while dining.

Whirlpool Ireland _ Washing

Infinite Care Washing Machines and PowerClean Dishwashers Whirlpool’s new washing and drying appliances come with a six-year parts warranty and two-year labour warranty.

The WWDC 9444 has an A+++-30 energy rating (offering 60% energy savings over an A rated machine) and offers Best Care on the market, endorsed by the Swiss test institute, EMPA, which tested18 washing machines from nine different brands, testing six washing cycles on each machine using the cotton programme on a 3kg load.

The WWDC 9444’s Wave Motion+ technology maximises performance using a distinctive set of six programmes featuring a range of special drum speeds and movements, tailored to care for all fabric types, including the most gentle drum movement on the market for delicates.

The AZA 9791 meets all essential criteria with its 6th Sense Infinite Care technology, which constantly monitors the humidity level and automatically adjusts the drying cycle to deliver excellent results while saving up to 50% in energy and time.

The tumble dryer heats its 9kg drum fast, while the new inverted drum pattern maximises garment care. It delivers the fastest and most even drying results for tumble-dryable woollen garments using a unique 3D airflow, and the gentlest of drum movements, reducing mechanical action, relaxing the fibres and allowing air to flow into and across garments. In addition, ‘air cushions’ protect the laundry when tumbling due both to the upward airflow from the lifters and the drum design. The cooler air from the lifters is also gentler and improves fabric care.

Both the 6th Sense Infinite Care washing machine and the A+ Heat Pump dryer have been built to last over 10 years, as certified by a 2,500-cycle certification test conducted by the German Institute TÜV Rheinland.

PowerClean Dishwashers

water and time. PowerClean is activated automatically (although maybe deactivated if required) and eliminates the need for any pre-washing or scrubbing of burnt on bits, as this is taken care of without using any extra water. The PowerClean system creates space for an extra 10 plates in the lower basket.

Other programmes include Fragile, Rapid, Eco, Daily, Silent or Intensive (depending on model) and Steam. The Steam Clean option includes a dedicated steam programme for heavily soiled crockery, pots and pans.

Soaking or pre-treatment by hand is no longer needed. Options are also available for use with various programmes and these include PowerClean, Antibacterial rinse, delayed start and Multizone.

The Multizone option can wash just the upper basket _ stacked with cups, mugs and cereal bowls, after breakfast, for example – or the lower basket only, for pots, pans and casserole dishes, or wash both baskets.

The flexible and adjustable racking system includes a cutlery basket that can be placed on the upper rack _ useful when choosing Multizone to wash the upper basket only.

The upper rack can also be removed to accommodate bulky items in the lower rack.

Both models have an SRP of €699 and currently come with a free five-year parts and labour warranty.

Exertis

Whirlpool Infinite Care washing machine

Whirlpool’s patented and ultra-soft drum pattern, together with its patented drum lifters, decrease the surface friction on clothes by 70% in order to caress the laundry and provide the gentlest environment.

Clothes are further protected and valuable energy saved by Whirlpool’s 6th Sense Infinite Care technology, which senses the load to deliver up to 50% savings in energy, water and time compared to similar models without such technology.

The 6th Sense Infinite Care Colours 15° option optimises each wash programme for different colour clusters, offering the cleaning performance of a 40°C wash cycle at only 15°C.

Tumble Dryers Whirlpool’s new tumble dryer range is headed by the A+ rated AZA 9791 condenser model with heat pump technology.

Testing among leading European brands by the independent Swiss institute, EMPA, showed Whirlpool as having the best drying performance in dryable wool garments, and achieved the Best Care on the market in drying woollens.

Whirlpool ADPL 7470 IX PowerClean dishwasher

Two new dishwashers use just six litres of water, due to engineering and results driven by the company’s 6th Sense PowerClean technology. The freestanding ADPL 7470 IX and built-in AD 8900 are A++AA rated machines with 13-place settings, eight programmes, and a flexible interior to cope with all dishwashing eventualities.

The low water consumption is achieved by saving the water from the final rinse in a dedicated tank, where it is stored and recycled for use at the beginning of the next programme. Should the dishwasher not be used for any length of time, such as when on holiday, the water is automatically drained after three days to prevent bacteria formation.

PowerClean automatically senses the level of soiling on the dishes and adjusts the programme accordingly. It also means that it will wash as economically as possible with the benefit of up to 50% savings on energy,

In addition, all Hotpoint major domestic appliances will come with a 10-year parts warranty from 1st September 2014.

With loads from 6kg to 9kg, the range provides retailers with trade-up opportunities, consistent availability and competitive prices.

Also on show will be Hotpoint’s new Ultima S-Line washing machines, new additions to Hotpoint’s HD Line of domestic appliances, new designer Hotpoint microwave ovens, and new aesthetics in Hotpoint built-in ovens.

Indesit Innex

Hotpoint Ultima S-Line

The three Indesit Innex washing machines are real ‘one touch’ appliances with a unique ‘Push and Wash’ button that turns the machine on and automatically selects a 50-minute wash programme designed to tackle a normal 4kg daily load.

The new Hotpoint Ultima S-Line washing machines feature two levels of steam cleaning: Steam Refresh to get rid of smells without detergent and Steam Hygiene, which gives an extra steam boost at the end of the wash cycle.

They also feature an automatic water level control that fills the machine with the exact amount of water it needs for any load size.

The fascias are branded ‘From 1kg to 8kg’ and ‘From 1kg to 9kg’ to remind consumers they don’t always have to fill the machine right up to get the most efficient wash.

The A+++ Ultima S-Line also features antistain for the 20 most stubborn stains and anti-stain quick, a one-hour programme for people in a rush. With super silent running, it is an ideal machine for open plan homes.

There are an additional 14 wash programmes and an Express Wash programme that cleans clothes in 20 minutes.

Hotpoint Eco Experience The three Hotpoint Eco Experience models are value for money, mid-range appliances.

They feature the Auto+ Load sensor that measures the size of the load and adjusts the amount of water, the temperature and the cycle time to give the most water and energy efficient wash for that specific load.

Hotpoint HD Line SDAs Hotpoint’s HD Line of small domestic appliances is expanding with most products now available in stainless steel, black, cream and red. They will also include a new ‘value’ range of appliances that will launch in the autumn, featuring irons, kettles, toasters and a special ‘breakfast pack’ bundle of kettle and toaster.

Hotpoint is also introducing a three-year replacement warranty on all its HD Line food preparation appliances.

Hotpoint has also entered the coffee machine by teaming up with Italian coffee specialists illy. Two ‘Hotpoint for illy’ touch control espresso machines use illy’s IperEspresso capsule system that extracts coffee from a vacuum-preserved capsule in two phases _ ‘hyperinfusion’ to intensify aroma, followed by ‘emulsion’ to create a thick, velvety and long-lasting crema.

Both espresso machines have a touch control interface, two preset coffee cup sizes _ espresso and lungo _ and a programmable cup size, 19 bar pump pressure, LED light and one-litre water tank capacity.

ContourLine Appliances, W Classic Washing Machine, PowerLine and EcoLine Vacuum Cleaners, and Scout RX1 Robot

An Express Wash 20 programme cleans clothes quickly, while saving time and money. Its water control system detects leaks and operates a time-controlled safety check, which automatically closes the water inlet to prevent flooding.

ContourLine

The machines have an energy rating of A++ or A+++, depending on model.

Miele’s new ContourLine kitchen appliances are designed to complement contemporary decorative kitchen cabinetry design such as kitchens with details including wooden panelling and sculpted or painted finishes, and are particularly suited to country or Quaker-style kitchens.

PowerLine and EcoLine Miele’s new PowerLine and EcoLine vacuum cleaners combine high performance with low energy consumption and comply with the new EU Directive 665/2013.

The Directive requires energy labelling on vacuums to detail the energy class, cleaning performance, dust re-emissions, wattage and decibel ratings of the appliance. From 1st September 2014, vacuums brought into circulation must meet the following minimum requirements: nominal output <1,600W, 95% minimum dust pickup on hard flooring, 70% dust pickup on carpets, and an annual energy consumption <62 kWh/ annum.

The appliances are framed in stainless steel, with the handle integrated into the stainless steel frame and the length of the appliance.

Miele Scout RX1 Robot vacuum cleaner

A Gyro Sensor measures rotation and changes in direction for efficient and thorough cleaning of a room. A high-quality digital camera on board scans the ceiling of the room several times a minute to ensure no area is missed. The interplay of Gyro Sensor and ceiling-scanning camera ensures that the perimeters of rooms and difficult-to-access areas are cleaned thoroughly without gaps.

Seven infra-red sensors on the front scan a 180° area ahead of the machine in order to avoid collisions with furniture and other obstacles. Three further sensors below the unit prevent the Scout RX1 from falling down stairs.

The ContourLine range includes steam ovens, single ovens, steam combination ovens, microwave ovens, microwave combination ovens, hobs, extractor hoods, warming drawers and coffee machines.

The W Classic washing machine integrates a range of advanced features and includes Miele’s honeycomb drum, which creates a thin film of water that cushions clothes during the wash cycle, protecting them from the damaging effects of spinning.

through rooms while cleaning. The Scout RX1 has good traction on all flooring and can negotiate height differences of up to 2cm, for example thresholds and the edges of rugs.

In the Triple Cleaning System two long rotating side brushes target difficult areas along the walls of rooms or along items of furniture, sweeping dirt towards the centre of the unit where a removable beater bar picks up coarser particles and a fan transports the finer dust into the dust box.

The 0.6-litre dust box container can be easily removed at the touch of the button.

The lithium-ion battery charge is able to clean an area of up to 150 sq m, corresponding to a duration of approximately 120 minutes. When cleaning larger areas, the unit will return to its base for recharging if needed and cleaning is automatically resumed after charging at the precise point where cleaning was interrupted. Even after 300 recharging cycles, the battery still has the capacity it had when new.

The Scout RX1 can be operated from remote control handset or on the controls on the unit itself, which can be pre-programmed to start and finish at pre-defined times.

The robot has an easy to read display of white characters on black background and effortless unit controls.

Ergonomic accessories comprise a strainer bowl, stainless steel drainer basket and a chopping board with Sanitized anti-bacterial protection.

Aspen Sink The new Aspen inset sink, designed in collaboration with Villeroy & Boch, is a contemporary, low-profile sink with geometric lines, and with the tap ledge positioned to the side.

The sleek drainer style accentuates the linear appeal of the Aspen’s tough, smooth white gloss ceramic finish, which is durable and easy to clean.

A unique Franke-developed feature of Hydros is the new push-button pop-up waste that pushes up the basket strainer for a more precise action to drain away water, instead of the twist-and-turn action operation by hand.

smartphones, PCs, and tablets. In addition to music streaming, hands‐free calling is available with the built‐in microphone. The built‐in rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous playback.

SP-ABT1 Wireless Speakers

The SP‐ABT30 comes in three colours (black, white, and red) with illumination on the top of the speaker—blue for the black and white models, and red for the red model.

JVC Kenwood Corporation is introducing the SP‐ABT1 portable Bluetooth wireless speaker featuring Near Field Communications (NFC) technology for easy setup and a passive radiator unit for powerful bass.

The flat body is surrounded by a 4mm-thick aluminium frame, which reduces unwanted vibration and also serves as a carrying handle. The built‐in rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous playback.

SP-ABT30 Wireless Speakers The SP‐ABT30 portable Bluetooth wireless speakers feature quality sound with three listening modes, a passive radiator unit for rich bass, and Near Field Communications (NFC) technology for easy setup.

Though compact in size, the speaker creates a wide sound field, reproducing full, natural sound across the frequency range. The rich bass is enhanced by the built‐in passive radiator, which provides even lower bass delivery.

Three sound modes are available on the speaker. Normal Stereo mode is suited for personal listening, Enhanced Stereo mode creates a wider sound field and with 360‐ Degree Sound mode a group of people can experience consistent sound quality even when walking around the speaker.

The SP‐ABT30 can be controlled using a free remote control app for iOS and Android smartphones. The one‐touch NFC technology allows simple Bluetooth pairing with compatible devices such as

There is 40x optical zoom, plus audio that zooms along with the picture, and the internal battery lets you shoot 4.5 hours consecutively on a single charge.

4K Projectors A new, expanded line of home theatre projectors delivers substantial improvements in image quality and achieves the industry’s highest native and dynamic contrast. The performance boost is driven by a new imaging device, upgraded version of JVC’s e‐shift technology, 4K source compatibility and a user‐selectable Intelligent Lens Aperture.

The one‐touch NFC technology allows simple Bluetooth pairing with compatible devices such as smartphones, PCs, and tablets. In addition to music streaming, the Bluetooth speaker with the built‐in microphone allows hands‐free calling from a smartphone.

down to -10ºC, and packages it all in a familiar camcorder form factor.

Projectors equipped with 4K e‐shift3, the latest iteration of the company’s e‐shift technology, feature a 4K signal input (60p) so that 4K and 2K sources can be displayed as 3,840 x 2,160 images.

JVC’s 2014 projectors are DLA‐X900R, DLA‐ X700R and DLA‐X500R. All models are 3D‐enabled and offer 4K e‐shift3. The new projectors use three sixth generation JVC D‐ ILA imaging devices that feature a pixel gap that is 40% narrower than the previous chip for a smoother picture, a 10% improvement in light efficiency for a light output of 1,300 lumens, and improved native contrast, which is also enhanced by a new, third generation wire grid optical engine.

A current model, the DLA‐X35 remains in the line-up for 2014 as well as the optional 3D accessories RF emitter PK‐EM2 and RF glasses PK‐EM3, and the spare lamp PK‐ L2312U. The new JVC D‐ILA home theatre projectors will be available in November.

Everio ‘All-Weather’ Camcorders The new Everio GZ‐RX115, GZ‐RX110, GZ‐R15 and GZ‐R10 camcorders feature a Quad‐ Proof Structure and Long‐Life Battery throughout the line. These models offer water resistance to a depth of 5 metres, the ability to withstand a drop from 1.5 metres, as well as dust-proofing and freeze-proofing

Contributing to the IPX8 certified water resistance and IP5X dust resistance is the internal high‐capacity battery that offers no risk of damaging the camera while changing batteries in bad weather. You can shoot while charging to go beyond the internal battery’s 4.5 hours, or Quick 1/2Charge for one hour and add an extra 1.3 hours of recording time.

Everio has a large‐calibre Konica Minolta HD lens that enables high‐quality 40x Optical Zoom. With 60x Dynamic Zoom, the powerful 2.5M Back‐illuminated CMOS Image Sensor maintains the picture’s HD resolution even when exceeding the optical zoom range. With the FalconBrid engine (which is capable of 4K video performance), efficient video and audio processing delivers beautiful images and sound. K2 Technology is applied during recording for effective sound restoration during playback.

GC-XA2 Adixxion Action Camera The GC-XA2 Adixxion action camera offers ‘Born Tough’ Quad-Proof Design so it is ready for action right out of the box, no external housing necessary. With an LCD screen and wi-fi built into the camera, there are no extra modules to add either.

Powerful recording functions include 1,920 x 1,080 60p/50p Full HD video as well as 120fps/100fps 1,280 x 720 high-speed recording for excellent slow motion. Wi-Fi enables real-time checking as well as live streaming over the Internet.

Quad-Proof Design means Adixxion is waterproof even submerged to a depth of 5 metres, shockproof to withstand a drop from 2 metres, dustproof to keep particles out, and freeze-proof to keep going in the snow and on the slopes. It can be mounted on a surfboard, snowboard or skateboard.

Smaller cyclones generate higher centrifugal forces and capture smaller particles _ but the tighter the cyclone, the more likely it is to block. Dyson engineers have created cyclones with flexible tips. The spinning airflow agitates the tips, setting up an oscillation that prevents dust from sticking to the cyclones _ keeping them clear.

The extensive line-up will be available across all brands within Shomar and will also be made available to retailers who want to

add a private label to their SDA offering to compete with the growing private label and own brand offerings available from foreign electrical and grocery multiples operating in the Irish market.

Retailers can decide on their own range, price points and warranty, tailoring their lineup to suit their customer profile. This results in better control of their SDA category as they increase shelf space as a result of strong category growth, turnover and margin.

Shomar has observed this new trend emerging and has developed its new SDA collection over the past 18 months to support its trade partners.

in three colours: bright red, black and stainless steel.

The aluminium-cast filter holder allows users to make drinks with ground coffee or espresso pods, while the intuitive control panel can programme ‘short’ or ‘long’ shots to the second. The machine has three interchangeable crema filters that ensure extraction is carried out at the right pressure to deliver a thick and velvety crema.

The frothing wand is designed to guarantee a rich and creamy froth for cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos and more.

A cup warmer shelf keeps cups at the ideal temperature and the self-priming system ensures that the machine is always ready to make an espresso.

Eletta The Eletta bean-tocup coffee machines use new ‘Latte Crema’ micro-foam technology to create the creamiest milk froth, at the perfect temperature, thickness and density. Like all De’Longhi bean-to-cup coffee machines, the Eletta grinds fresh beans internally to deliver aromatic espressos, creamy cappuccinos and silky smooth lattes, at the touch of a button.

The range has a slanted front _ to fit even the widest of cups _ and ergonomically positioned controls for ease of use.

The top-of-the-range Eletta Cappuccino Top has a new, patented milk carafe and offers the widest selection of one-touch coffee solutions, including a new Flat White button. The Milk Menu function delivers latte macchiatos, espresso macchiatos and more.

The new Multifry is a multi-tasking low-oil air fryer and multicooker that introduces a unique Surround Heat System (patent

pending) to create a multitude of recipes from risottos and pies to pizzas and, of course, fries. The top and bottom heating elements can be operated separately or simultaneously according to the recipe, and reduce cooking times.

De’Longhi FH1163 Multifry

A removable paddle fitted into the bowl allows for ingredients to be automatically stirred constantly and at the right speed, while the adjustable thermostat and timer provide total control.

The Multifry, which comes in three models, can cook up to 1.7kg of potatoes (enough for eight people) in just 14ml of oil (equivalent to only 2.3% fat), while frozen, shop-bought chips require no oil at all.

De’Longhi has compiled 250 recipes for the Multifry with Mark Sargeant, former head chef at Gordon Ramsay’s Michelin starred restaurant at Claridge’s, and are available on a dedicated app for the iPhone, iPad and Android.

BAF-Approved Air Purifiers The new AC series of three air purifiers has been awarded the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval for reduction in exposure to house dust mite, cat allergen, dog allergen, pollen, funghi and cigarette smoke.

De’Longhi’s Air Quality System shows problem areas instantly. The top-of-therange AC150 and AC230 are designed to analyse air quality, detect various gases and organic compounds. The Air Quality System uses soft coloured lights to intuitively show when the air quality is poor (red), satisfactory (green) and good (blue) and can be set to auto-regulate De’Longhi AC230 air purifier the fan speed of optimised purification yet save energy.

Allegro _ Philips Small Domestic Appliances

Airfryer, Avance Juicer, and PerfectCare Steam Irons The Philips Airfryer’s patented Rapid Air Technology combines fast-circulating hot air with a grill to create delicious chips with up to 80% less fat _ as well as chicken nuggets, meat and even tempura prawns.

Different from other juicers, the pulp container is positioned right under the sieve to collect all the pulp for easy disposal. Once finished, the entire machine can be easily dissembled and all removable parts put in the dishwasher.

The PerfectCare Azur steam iron has a Quattro Precision tip that improves ironing accuracy so you can get to those hard to reach areas such as shirt sleeves and pleats.

The T-ionicGlide soleplate has a special coating that makes for 25% better gliding.

The upside-down sieve extracts 10% more juice from fruit and vegetables and produces up to 2.5 litres of juice in one go.

There are two speeds for juicing either hard or soft fruit and vegetables, and a 800W motor. Preparation time is also minimal, thanks to the extra-large feeding tube that allows ingredients to be inserted whole.

The Avance juicer comes with a spout accessory to channel juice directly into a glass, a drip stop that prevents any juice being leaked, and a recipe booklet.

Philips HD9220 Airfryer

The Airfryer requires just three minutes to heat up, and because it uses hot air rather than hot oil to ‘fry’ food, it emits fewer vapours, while the Integrated Air Filter diffuses any smells. The removable, dishwasher-safe parts and non-stick surfaces can be easily cleaned.

A digital timer enables you to pre-set cooking times of up to 60 minutes, while a fully adjustable digital temp control lets you pre-set temperatures of up to 200°C. A double layer accessory allows you to maximise the cooking space, so you can bake, grill or fry a number of foods in one go.

The Philips Airfryer comes with a recipe book, and more recipes are on the Philips MyKitchen website.

Avance Juice The Philips premium Avance Juicer is built to maximise the fun of juicing while minimising the hassle of cleaning with an innovative quick-clean sieve that has been electropolished, which makes it easier to remove tricky fibres caught up in the mesh after juicing.

Philips HR1869 Avance juicer

PerfectCare Steam Irons Philips’ new PerfectCare Pure steam generator and PerfectCare Azur steam iron feature Philips’ OptimalTemp technology, which eliminates a temperature dial, and the new T-ionicGlide soleplate.

Philips GC4914 PerfectCare Azur steam iron

The steam boost function delivers 200g of deep and powerful steam, allowing for more moisture to penetrate the fabric, creating a longer relaxation time, meaning garments stay crease-free for longer.

Other features include a Scale-free system, Calc Clean Alert, and a CordGuide accessory.

KAL Group – Elica

Sweet Chimney Hoods in Six Colours Philips GC7619 PerfectCare Pure steam generator

The PerfectCare Pure is up to 40% smaller and 40% lighter than traditional-sized steam generators, has a 1.5-litre water tank for 2.5 hours of ironing, and comes with a five-year guarantee against scale.

Delivering up to 120g of steam per minute (and 200g of pressurised steam) the PerfectCare Pure allows more moisture to penetrate the fabric, creating a longer relaxation time, meaning garments stay smoother for longer and tough creases are effortless to combat.

Available with Pure Steam cartridges, it is easy to keep the PerfectCare Pure calc free for longer. Ideal for those who use tap water, Pure Steam cartridge technology provides clean steam day after day, extending the lifetime of the PerfectCare Pure by up to five times. The threat of brown stains ruining clothes is removed by Pure Steam cartridge technology as it distributes steam up to 99% calc free to ensure clothes remain stain free.

Sweet chimney hoods from Elica have a technopolymer construction that creates smooth lines. A thin, polished steel line helps the hood stand out, enhancing the curved, harmonious forms.

The elegant perimeter extraction system makes it possible to increase the speed with which cooking fumes are captured.

Illuminated capacitive commands, positioned at the front, adjust the extraction and lighting features.

The lighting is characterised by an LED strip light, which ensures strong intensity over the hobs, so as to ensure excellent visibility and the best possible lighting for food preparation.

The 86cm hood is available in white, dove grey, light blue, ivory, orange and green.

SRPs start at €599.

A handy light acts as a reminder indicating when to change the cartridge. If the cartridge is exhausted, the system will preventively not generate steam.

Three New AquaTouch Electric Shavers with Aquatec Technology

Three-Door Fridge-Freezers, Chest Freezers and Wine Cellars

C2FE636CSJ in silver (SRP: €589) includes MyZone, internal LED lighting, No Frost, and 42dBA noise level.

KAL recently took on the distributorship for Haier energy-saving home solutions, including fridge-freezers, chest freezers, wine coolers and washer dryers.

Chest Freezers

To meet the needs of the increasing number of men that shave using both electric and blades, Philips has introduced three new models of its most popular range, AquaTouch.

The electronic shaver Philips AT790 AquaTouch electric shaver features Aquatec technology that ensures it is 100% waterproof, enabling men to experience the benefits of ‘dual usage’ _ the closeness of a wet shave without the skin damage that can result from blade shaving, with just one tool.

The Aquatec system in Philips AquaTouch includes an in-built seal, which means that the electric shaver is fully waterproof and can be used with shaving foam or gel. Aquatec technology is already a core feature of the highend SensoTouch range, so men can choose between the convenience of a dry shave and the closeness of a wet shave, while minimising skin damage.

Other key features of Philips AquaTouch are rounded caps covering the cutters to prevent the rotary blades from damaging skin. The Super Lift & Cut feature also helps to lift hairs away from the skin before cutting them to guarantee a close shave. The heads have been designed to reduce ingrown hairs. The shaver gently cuts just above skin level, guaranteeing smooth skin every day.

Leading Haier’s new fridge-freezer range are the A2FE635CRJ and A2FE635CCJ three-door fridge-freezers in cream and red (SRP: 899). They have a 347-litre net capacity and an A+ energy rating. The three-door design gives easy access to frozen goods via ergonomic sliding drawers, while a reversible front door can be opened in either direction.

An external LCD panel regulates the temperature of all three sections, with the independent MyZone section providing 47 litres of storage at adjustable temperatures. Intelligent Super Cooling and Super Freeze functions also enable users to keep food at the optimum temperature.

No Frost technology ensures that the freezer section remains frost-free while providing optimised cool air distribution throughout the entire fridgefreezer.

Chest freezers range from 3.74 to 13.38 cu ft, and with SRPs from €199 to €449.

Features include an adjustable thermostat, Fast Freeze, A+ energy rating, counterbalanced lid, curved corners, interior light, two-year parts and labour warranty including Haier BD-379GAA chest freezer being stored in an outbuilding where it still operates in temperatures as low as -18ºC.

Wine Cellars

The A+ energy rated HB21FGWAA French-door fridge-freezer (SRP: €1,989) has Haier HB21FGWAA fridge-freezer white or black glass doors, LED double column light, No Frost, Super Freeze, Super Cooling, Holiday Mode, an inverter compressor, and open door alarm.

The A+ energy rated, two-door

The A-energy-rated WS25GA wine cellar (SRP: €359) has an interior LED lighting system and an anti-UV glass door, while the compressor has an antivibration system Haier WS49GDB that neutralises wine cellar micro vibrations and noise that are harmful to wine.

The B-energy rated WS49GDB wine cellar (SRP: €599) has two distinct temperature zones for storing red and white wines together at their perfect temperatures, and active carbon filter, and anti-vibration system on the compressor.
