Hisense Brings Smarter, Easier Cooling to European Homes, Driving Strong Market Growth

Published

on

QINGDAO, China, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leading brand in global consumer electronics and home appliances, continues to expand its air conditioning portfolio with a focus on performance, energy efficiency and everyday usability. As European consumers increasingly seek cooling solutions that are easier to install, more efficient to operate and better suited to diverse living environments, Hisense is delivering practical innovations designed to make comfortable living more accessible.

This evolving consumer demand is increasingly reflected in market performance. In the first half of 2026, Hisense air conditioning sales revenue in Western Europe grew by nearly 20% year on year, while the French market recorded growth of over 100%. More than simply reflecting seasonal demand, this momentum highlights growing consumer recognition of cooling solutions that combine installation flexibility, intelligent performance and long-term energy efficiency.

For many European households, particularly those living in apartments, rental properties or older buildings—installation complexity remains one of the biggest barriers to adopting air conditioning. Designed with these realities in mind, the Hisense Uni series delivers a practical solution through its modular structure and Easy Installation Pro architecture, enabling an installer to complete installation with minimal effort while reducing reliance on professional labor. Everyday maintenance is equally convenient thanks to a top-mounted removable filter that can be cleaned within seconds without specialized tools, reducing maintenance time by up to 60% while ensuring superior airtight sealing. Complementing its ease of use, the Uni series delivers an A+++ energy efficiency rating for cooling, helping consumers enjoy lasting comfort while keeping energy consumption under control.

For consumers seeking a more premium home comfort experience, the Hisense Air Master AC combines intelligent climate technology with exceptional efficiency and refined design. Equipped with the advanced Smart Eye Pro thermal infrared sensor, it automatically detects occupants and intelligently directs airflow to either follow or avoid people, helping eliminate the discomfort of direct cold drafts during extended operation. Delivering A+++ energy efficiency for both cooling and heating, together with whisper-quiet 18dB operation, Air Master provides lasting comfort while reducing energy costs. It received the Red Dot Award for its innovative appearance and functionality, and features a matte sliding panel design with good sealing performance that integrates seamlessly into modern living spaces, reflecting Hisense’s commitment to combining technology with contemporary lifestyles.

As consumers continue to place greater importance on comfort, convenience and sustainability in their homes, Hisense remains committed to developing climate solutions that respond to real-life needs rather than simply seasonal demand. Through continuous innovation in energy-efficient technologies and user-centric design, the company is helping households create healthier, smarter and more comfortable living environments, bringing its vision of “Innovating a Brighter Life” to homes around the world.

Appointments are available on flexible schedules, and CNT’s 24/7 call center makes fielding basic inquiries and relaying booking information to the team straightforward at any hour.

Bird&Be Named Top Prenatal by Consumer Reports for the Second Time — One of Only Two Brands Who Passed Testing

Published

on

By

In new testing of 17 prenatal vitamins, Consumer Reports found that 15 did not match their labeled nutrient levels. Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack was ranked as one of the safest choices, and one of only two that met label claims.

TORONTO, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Consumer Reports recognized Bird&Be as one of the safest and highest quality prenatal vitamins available. The independent nonprofit conducted rigorous testing of 17 over-the-counter prenatals for label accuracy and heavy metals and found that nearly all — 15 of 17 — failed to match levels of key nutrients than their labels claimed, including folic acid which is essential for fetal neural tube development. Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack was one of just two products that delivered nutrient levels that aligned with their labels, marking the second time Consumer Reports has named Bird&Be as one of its most-recommended prenatals.

What did Consumer Reports find?

15 of 17 prenatals tested had nutrient levels outside of label claims.Half of gummy prenatals contained less folate than labeled, a nutrient critical in early pregnancy.Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack matched labels across every nutrient tested.

Why does Bird&Be measure up?

Developed by fertility doctors and OB-GYNs with doctor-recommended nutrients for pregnancy, Bird&Be’s best-in-class formulations are made in GMP-certified facilities, lab-tested, licensed by Health Canada — a federal authority that assesses products for safety and quality — and Clean Label Project Certified to meet Prop 65 standards for heavy metals.

What should expecting parents look for in a prenatal?

Prenatal vitamins are a routine part of prenatal care, yet they’re highly un-regulated, so brands aren’t required to verify their contents before reaching shelves. Bird&Be sets a new standard of care, and Consumer Reports’ findings back up years of the brand’s third-party testing and position as one of the safest, most-trusted and recommended prenatals.

“Expecting parents deserve products they can trust. Bird&Be is committed to making supplements that are safe and effective, built on rigorous scientific standards. Consumer Reports identified a gap in oversight for our category, and its consistent recognition of Bird&Be confirms the commitment to high quality that we’ve made to our customers and healthcare providers since day one,” said Samantha Diamond, CEO and Co-Founder of Bird&Be.

Bird&Be is available at birdandbe.com, Amazon, and Ulta.
