Moms keep their perfume, makeup & more in Samsung refrigerators
Did you know that your refrigerator can store so much more than just food? At the launch of Samsung’s newest line of refrigerators recently, I learned that the refrigerator is also the best place to store perfume, because putting perfume in a fridge prevents it from spoiling. Here in the tropics, two of the main causes of perfume spoiling are heat and light. The shelf life of a fragrance is normally two years, but try leaving it out on a dresser in a sunny room and it will go over in less than a year. So, keeping it like wine in the fridge keeps it at a constant temperature and out of direct sunlight. At that rate, your perfume will last till the very last drop.
It’s also a good idea to store lipstick in the ref so it doesn’t “sweat” and melt in the heat of your room, or get that waxy crayon smell soon after you buy it. And I thought my mom was strange for keeping her supply of anti-aging cream in the ref.
And if you are one of those photographers who still use film, the ref is also the best place to keep it. Keeping film refrigerated will extend its life. When you want to use it, the best thing to do is take it out an hour or so beforehand and let it warm up inside the canister. That will stop condensation from forming. But, for me, I know that my life would be pathetic without my overflowing supply of chocolates (from my ever-generous editor). So, if you peeked into the fridge in my home, you can be sure that it is never without a healthy dose of yummy chocolates.
Over a super-healthy lunch of steamed vegetables, vegetable curry and pasta prepared by chef Jessie Sincioco of Chef Jessie Rockwell, I got to witness just how cool the new line of Samsung refrigerators is.
The event was hosted by Tessa Prieto-Valdes and Daphne Oseña-Paez, who seem to have a few things in common — one of these being a love for Samsung refrigerators.
Of course, the other tie that binds these two personalities is their role as loving moms. At home, they see to it that they give only the best for their families with a little help from the world’s leading name in digital home appliances.
In the heart of their kitchens is no less than the all-new Samsung No-Frost Inverter Refrigerator, the innovative home companion that is invading the homes of quality-conscious families all over the world. And at the recent Samsung Home Appliances launch, modern moms Tessa and Daphne shared what makes Samsung refrigerators a must-have in their homes.
The new Samsung No-Frost Inverter Refrigerator brings to the fore powerful technology innovations that exceed the expectations of meticulous moms such as Tessa and Daphne. Behind its modern sleek design are several category firsts, most notably the refrigerator’s superior digital inverter compressor that strengthens durability and improves energy efficiency. This intelligent compressor automatically adjusts across five speeds of RPM in response to various cooling demands. Whether due to frequent door openings, a hot plate of food, or outside temperature changes, the groundbreaking compressor can either rapidly or slowly provide cold air to reduce energy consumption. What’s more, it operates only when needed, thereby producing less noise so Tessa can throw parties or intimate dinners without hearing that strange humming sound in the background.
To further ensure the refrigerator’s durability, Samsung backs up its new No-Frost Inverter Refrigerator compressor with a 10-year warranty, another first in its category, much to the delight of Tessa and Daphne, who always look for durable appliances for their homes.
More innovations are packed within the Samsung No-Frost Inverter Refrigerator that will leave its owners in awe. Daphne, who is known for her penchant for fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly likes the refrigerator’s MoistFresh Zone, which controls air circulation to obtain optimal humidity, creating an ideal environment to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for a long time.
Tessa says that she can now say goodbye to melted ice cream whenever there is a power interruption, thanks to the refrigerator’s Coolpack that keeps the freezer cool for eight hours in case of a power shut-off.
With their busy lifestyle, convenience and organization are paramount considerations for both ladies. The Samsung No-Frost Inverter Refrigerator’s Power Cool button allows them to get the refrigerator to start cooling inside quickly, reducing waiting time when extra cooling is needed.
When it comes to organization, the smart appliance provides maximum storage flexibility and efficiency. Its Easy Slide shelf makes storing and removing food effortless. Door shelves are also made wider and larger to accommodate bottles of various sizes, and a detachable Multi Storage Basket can be used to hold medicines — or in Tessa’s case, her cosmetics, and other small objects that need refrigeration. And finishing off the ultra-modern design is the recessed Easy Handle that quickly and easily opens the refrigerator with just a click of a button.
Tessa and Daphne are just as meticulous at home as they are in front of the camera. Both are very pleased and convinced with the 10 reasons why every home should have a Samsung refrigerator, which includes the energy-saving digital inverter that comes with a 10-year warranty; easy-slide shelves for easy food access; multi-flow air system; adaptive defrost control; the Coolpack option that keeps the freezer cooler for an extended period despite power interruptions; the MoistFresh zone that helps keep fruits and veggies fresh; the built-in deodorizing filter that eliminates unwanted smells; the LED lighting fixture that brightens every corner of the refrigerator; tempered glass shelves that can handle heavy loads; and the Big Guard that provides wider and deeper storage space for tall bottles and extra-large containers.
With the new Samsung Top Mount Freezer, they do not only get the most out of technological advancements only Samsung can provide, but more importantly they get to give the best to their families in an efficient and practical way.

Samsung on track to become top home appliances maker
LAS VEGAS — South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co said it is on course to achieve its goal of becoming the world’s top home appliances maker by 2015, with sales growing an estimated 50 percent by then.
Samsung Electronics, which makes more chips, flat-screens, handsets and TVs than any of its competitors – including the world’s best-selling smartphone – is aiming to boost its home appliance segment and narrow the gap with companies including Whirlpool Corp and Electrolux AB.
“I’m confident of Samsung becoming the world’s top appliances maker by 2015 with $18 billion sales, as we set up a very well structured framework for key products and moving step by step to the goal, first starting with fridges,” Yoon Boo-keun, president of the division, told Reuters in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Monday.
Analysts estimate Samsung Electronics earned around 13 trillion won ($12 billion) last year from home appliances, part of the firm’s consumer electronics arm.
Samsung Electronics would ditch unprofitable product lines and boost research into consumer tastes across different markets, Yoon said.
“It’s a business that can ensure steady cash flow with little earnings fluctuation, once you have a proper system in place,” Yoon said. “It’s not dull at all and has great potential to become Samsung’s next earnings driver.”
Mr Tv aims for growth
Yoon, who was head of Samsung’s TV business until 2011, was put in charge of the thin-margin home appliance division a year ago with a mission to match the TV outfit’s success.
Known as Mr. TV, he had a pivotal role in ending Japan’s more than three decades of leadership in the global TV industry in 2006.
“We see lots of opportunities in the appliances segment but we didn’t strongly grow the business – simply, it didn’t get proper treatment,” Yoon said after unveiling a new four-door Internet-connected fridge at the electronics show.
His remarks come only hours after Samsung Electronics said it likely earned a record quarterly operating profit of $8.3 billion, aided by roaring sales of smartphones.
Samsung’s CE division is estimated to have earned around 13 trillion won ($12.22 billion) of revenue in the fourth quarter, or roughly a quarter of its total revenue.
TV sales generally account for around 70 percent of CE performance, and the rest comes from selling appliances such as fridges, ovens and laundry, according to analysts. Samsung does not provide breakdowns.
It’s been a low-margin business compared with smartphones, which generate around 25 percent of margin, and the division’s operating profit contribution is estimated at around 4 percent.
Yoon also said Samsung, the world’s top maker of TVs, was aiming to sell 55 million flat-screen TVs this year, up from 51 million last year, even as the industry is set to remain stagnant due to the weak global economy.
Betting large TVs with over 65-inch screen sizes will lead the growth, Samsung Electronics unveiled three models of ultra high-definition (HD) TVs that boast four times better picture quality than full HD models.
Acquisitions in medical sector
Yoon also heads Samsung’s corporate design centre and oversees the medical equipment business, which was added to the consumer electronics division this year.
Samsung Electronics acquired a controlling stake in Korean ultrasound equipment firm Medison in 2010 and its affiliate later for around $300 million in total, its biggest ever acquisition in the healthcare industry.
Yoon expected sales from its medical devices would reach $500 million this year, up from $300 million last year, and will grow with the acquisition of companies that make MRI scanners and computed tomography machines.
Samsung Electronics has said it plans to spend 1.2 trillion won in the medical equipment business by 2020 to make it a $10 billion operation by then.
In the long run, Samsung Electronics aims to become a global healthcare leader, taking on GE, Philips, Hitachi, Toshiba and Siemens
