Speaking about the new products, Mr. Rajeev Bhutani, Head - Home Appliance Business, Samsung India said, “The new 2013 Smart Home Appliance range has been developed keeping in mind the needs of Indian consumers. Given the growing consumer preference for energy efficient home appliance products, Samsung now offers the largest range of 5 Star rated Frost Free Refrigerators in the Indian market. The Digital Inverter Series is India’s first Frost Free refrigerator range with Digital Inverter Compressor (DIC) that comes with a 10 year warranty.”

Digital Inverter Series of Frost Free Refrigerators
Samsung’s new Digital Inverter Series offers enhanced durability, convenience and smarter energy savings. This series is one of the most energy efficient refrigerator ranges in the country, thereby ensuring savings on electricity and running costs. Incorporated with the Digital Inverter Compressor, that utilizes a smart controller and five convenient RPM speeds, the Digital Inverter Series delivers up to 40 percent more energy efficiency while significantly reducing noise. The compressor precisely adjusts cooling performance based on daily refrigerator use and temperature levels, both internal and external. These technologies maximize the freshness of food and reduce overall carbon dioxide production, a smart solution to reduce energy consumption while preserving the environment. With a strong compressor that can stably operate despite high fluctuation of voltage (110V to 300V) even at 50æ, the new Digital Inverter Series eliminates the need of a separate stabilizer providing better energy efficiency while saving on space. Samsung’s Digital Inverter Compressor comes with a 10-year warranty, a world’s first for refrigerators.

In keeping with the requirements of the Indian market, the new range is equipped with the innovative convenience features such as ‘Coolpack’ that delays the rise in temperature when the power is off and prevents food from spoiling quickly even during a blackout lasting 8 hours. Given the increasing consumer preference for larger fridge space, the Series’ freezer to fridge ratio has been adjusted to 25:75 to give bigger fridge space. An ‘Easy Slide Out’ shelf has also been specially designed to slide out to 170 mm enabling a more efficient organization, while reducing unused space inside. And the range also offers the convenience of a movable vegetable box, which can be raised to a desired height, lessening the inconvenience of bending to take out food. Both shelves can store up to 40kg of vegetable and fruit.

Other clever built-in features include a specialized Multi Storage Basket for health and beauty care products, a Moist Fresh Zone that controls the air circulation to maintain optimal humidity; a Water Dispenser located at waist height for easier access to water; a Quick Cooling mode that reduces waiting time for cooling all with a touch of a button; and ergonomically designed front and side Recessed Handles for effortless opening. The range also offers a differentiated floral ‘Orcherry’ design in Peach Silver, Garnet Red and Pearl Black in addition to Real Stainless, Platinum Inox, Metal Graphite color patterns.

These 29 models make-up the seven Samsung Air Conditioner series namely Smart Inverter, S-Crystal+, S-Purista, Crystal+, Crystal, Purista and Max Series. Mr. Bhutani said “Our 2013 Air Conditioner range combines world-class cooling technology with energy efficiency, which is aptly communicated by our proposition of ‘Samsung On Savings On.’ Our ‘Inverter Series’ of Air Conditioners, for example, are uniquely designed with Smart Inverter technology to ensure perfect cooling while ensuring substantial savings on electricity bills.”
