There must be too many ‘x’s hanging around the Bosch offices. The company famous for its power tools has hurled a few spares at the name of its new vacuum cleaner range. If you’re a lover of silence or a lover of pets (but not together, there are two separate models for each type of […]
Yes, it’s true! Lamps by legendary Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake are now available in Australia through Artemide and some of them may even be in your budget! The “IN-EI” range — Japanese for “shadow, shadiness, and nuance”– combines strong 3D geometry with an exceptional illumination capacity to diffuse light. Issey’s artistic vision, applied via a […]
A Smeg fridge has been on my appliance wishlist for as long as I can remember. My obsession with the classic Smeg started at an age when I really should have been getting more excited about shoes. Or underage drinking. Or boys. Not white (or maybe baby pink) goods. This latest model, the FQ60XP, looks nothing […]

Beko InnovaChef makes the oven smarter
Smart fridges. Whatever happened to those? When I started out as a technology journalist all those… seven years ago, LG was trying to convince everyone that these were the way of the future. They looked the part too, with big colour screens attached that could connect to the internet and do all this funky stuff. […]
I associate Bosch with power tools. My Dad owns a virtual library of Bosch power tools so the name association is drilled, pun intended, into my head. But Bosch do more than that (as we have covered on Appliance Addict already, here) including coffee machines. Its machines are a Nespresso haters dream. I’m all for […]

The W6888 Allergy Washing Machine incorporates a number of specific technologies designed to assist people suffering from […]
Maybe I’m just too jaded. Too many years spent writing about consumer technology that promises transporter functions but merely slaps you in the face with a wet halibut. I’ve never actually eaten halibut, is it nice? Anyway, I digress. Yonanas has thrown its press release into the Appliance Addict inbox, promising to make low calorie […]

There’s nothing a neat freak like me loves more than a great vacuum. But I’ve always found that even the best models let you down when it comes to emptying all the crap into the bin. Dust clouds and spillage (which you immediately vacuum up again, defeating the object, no?) are frequent occurrences. This new […]

I was surprised too! I thought it was just me that once (okay, twice!) dropped a BlackBerry in the bath (true story). Reece has opened entries for its Bathroom Innovation Award (BIA), bringing technology to the forefront with a revamped concept this year, exploring Tomorrow’s Bathroom Today. “For 2013, we’re bringing the future of bathrooms […]
I asked some of Australia’s best interior designers and stylists for their opinion of what 2013 will bring in terms of interiors trends. Here’s what they had to say. Steve Cordony, interior design editor, Belle magazine, and stylist: “This coming year I think we will see lots of natural materials such as marble, timber, brass, […]
