The company says this double-door fridge uses tech, including air circulation and nano blue light sterilization, to help keep your food fresher for longer. A weapon against food waste? Quite possibly, but I’ll just be happy if it means I can keep my bell peppers from going all squishy after just a few days.
Then we have the Mijia Tri-Drum Washer Dryer Pro, which uses three separate drums for your clothes washing, with a promised 35% increase in energy efficiency. And finally there’s the Mijia Conditioner Turbo Pro, which boasts huge power for both cooling and heating a room.
