**Airfryer**
 Philips created the first Airfryer in 2010. Philips started the kitchen movement, bringing the world a way to make delicious, healthier meals, quickly, from scratch. Philips continues to show its innovation, as the world's first dual basket airfryer with steam was on-show at the event.

Leading the way in floor care since 1950, Philips has been cleverly cleaning homes worldwide for decades.

The hassle-free clean turned the mop market on its head as it means there’s no more need to wring mops or drag buckets. By collecting dirty water from the floor into one tank and dispensing clean water from another, the Philips OneUp electric mop stops people from spreading dirty water across their floors.

The best of Philips home appliances showcased at global ‘Home Fest’ event  

- The Philips OneUp electric mop launches today, introducing a new standard in hassle-free floor cleaning
- Patented technology removes dirty water and dispenses clean water with every stroke, delivering floors twice as clean*, twice as fast compared to manual mopping
- With no bucket or wringing required, the Philips OneUp electric mop has a recommended retail price of €109.99 for the 3000 Series and €159.99 for the 5000 Series

**February 25 2025, Amsterdam, the Netherlands** - Today, Philips announces the latest innovation in floorcare, with the launch of the Philips OneUp electric mop – a lightweight and hassle-free cleaning appliance that offers cleaner and faster results every time. 

Traditionally, mops are rinsed in the same bucket of water multiple times while cleaning, effectively contaminating the water and spreading dirt around the home with every stroke. 

The Philips OneUp electric mop takes a different approach by silently collecting dirty water from the floor into a separate tank while dispensing clean water. By sucking up dirty water and dispensing clean water, this innovative system delivers a cleaner result with every stroke, making floors two times cleaner*, two times faster than manual mopping.

**Cleaning Confidence & Convenience**
Simplicity is at the heart of the Philips OneUp electric mop design, with features such as a dual water tank and integrated detergent compartment all built-in to a slim and lightweight appliance. By removing the need for a separate water bucket, Philips has combined all mopping needs into one convenient electric mop.

The Philips OneUp electric mop is effective and easy-to-use on all non-absorbent hard floors, and has been designed with a 360-degree hinge that provides maximum reach and effortless manoeuvrability, making it easier to access corners and hard-to-reach areas. 

**Efficiency at Every Swipe**
The re-useable mop pads are easy to maintain – simply remove the pad, machine wash, and leave to air dry. This allows multiple uses from one pad, with the option to purchase new replacement pads when necessary. 

Furthermore, wet and slippery floors are a thing of the past with the Philips OneUp electric mop as it picks up excess water, leaving the floor to dry 50% faster than a traditional mop and bucket. It also reduces water usage by up to 90% compared to a classic mop and bucket while effectively removing up to 99% of bacteria**. 

**A Cleaning Companion** 
The Philips OneUp electric mop 3000 Series offers efficient, lightweight performance with a 50-minute runtime and coverage of up to 50 m². The 5000 Series enhances the experience with a 70-minute runtime and coverage of up to 70 m², and a sleek, premium design. 

Battery status is communicated by an LED indicator that shows how much charge is remaining. Both models come with a mop pad and detergent for an easy cleaning experience.

The Philips OneUp electric mop has a recommended retail price of €109.99 (3000 Series) - €159.99 (5000 Series) and available at [https://www.philips.nl/c-m-ho/stofzuigers-en-dweilen/oneup-elektrische-mop](https://www.philips.nl/c-m-ho/stofzuigers-en-dweilen/oneup-elektrische-mop)

Versuni Announces Leadership Change

**January 8, 2024, Amsterdam:** Versuni, home to some of the world’s most renowned domestic appliance brands, announces the launch of the Philips Home Safety 5000 series – a range of home safety appliances dedicated to ensuring loved ones feel safe and at home, no matter where you are. The range includes an indoor 360° camera, a wireless spotlight camera, wireless video doorbell, and motion sensor plugs featuring world first combined Wi-Fi and thread sensing technology. The Series 5000 seamlessly blends engineering excellence with an aesthetic design available in light or dark grey to become an integral part of your home.

**Wireless Sensing without any blind spots**
The Philips Home Safety 5000 series is the world-first home safety range featuring non-line-of sight-motion sensors that detect presence without being hindered by blind spots or interference from walls or other objects thanks to the combined Wi-Fi and thread sensing technology. Thread is a wireless standard that enables smart home devices to work together through a mesh network without requiring a third-party hub or service.

These cutting-edge motion sensors - developed by Versuni in partnership with Artificial Intelligence of Things (‘AIoT’) company Nami – can reliably detect motions in homes in real-time without needing a camera in every room. The intelligent sensing technology, powered by machine learning algorithms, can filter out vacuum bots and pets, in addition to detecting human presence. Unlike traditional PIR motion sensors, they are immune to high temperature impact or sunlight rays.

**Instant Setup, Reliable and 24-hour access**
The Philips Home Safety camera, doorbells and sensors are hub-free, making them easy and quick to install. The digital motion sensing software is embedded in a smart plug for minimum intrusion and visibility, a pack of three sensors and a door sensor that can create a zone of up to 1.500 sq ft, which can be extended by adding more sensors or additional zones.

The dedicated Philips Home Safety app provides users 24/7 control and insights into their home security from anywhere. Thanks to dual storage capabilities, the cameras and doorbell record locally to an SD card, and can also back up the content to the cloud. Should the Wi-Fi drop, the smart home devices will continue to record locally. End-to-end encryption of equal standard as those trusted by banks guarantees the safe preserving of recordings.

**Available from March 2024**
Philips Home Safety Series 5000 is expected to launch in March 2024 in Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and India, with additional countries to follow throughout 2024. This new home safety range follows the successful launch of Philips Home Safety Series 3000 in India last year.

**Versuni, Amsterdam, October 2023** - Versuni, home to some of the world’s most renowned domestic appliances brands, announces it is introducing packaging made with 100% recycled paper across its Philips portfolio globally. Consumers may in turn dispose of the cardboard responsibly as the paper is also 100% recyclable. To have the widest impact, the new packaging will first be applied to Versuni’s top performing Philips home appliances - including the Philips Airfryer, Espresso Machine with LatteGo, Steam Iron 3000 series, Air Purifier and Cordless Vacuum 8000 series. It will then extend across the full portfolio in the coming years. Additionally, single-use plastic inside the packaging will be replaced with more sustainable alternatives across the full Philips portfolio globally within four years. These measures are a significant stride in Versuni’s purpose of turning houses into homes and commitment to designing products and packaging for longevity, repairability, and reusability; turning waste into a resource. 

“_Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, which impacts what they expect from brands and how they shop,_” said Henk S. de Jong, Chief Executive Officer, Versuni. “_Our purpose at Versuni is turning houses into homes. This ambition comes with a responsibility to set new standards and adopt more sustainable practices across our value chain. Introducing sustainable packaging across our Philips-portfolio is an important step in our commitments to reduce our impact on the planet, our shared home_.”  

The boxes made with 100% recycled paper can withstand transportation without requiring additional protection, allowing customers to stick the shipping label directly onto the packaging. The printed area of the box, which markets the product, has been significantly reduced, requiring 65% less ink. Where possible, the dimensions of the redesigned packaging have also been reduced thanks to a focus on space optimization that minimizes empty areas in each product box. Versuni is taking steps to fuse more sustainable practices with its commitment to elevate the consumer experience through connected devices and digitalization. As part of this, the traditional multi-language user manual is now replaced with scannable QR-codes printed on the product packaging. These digital links allow consumers to more easily access ‘how to get started’ videos, FAQs, and downloadable user manuals in their preferred language. Safety instructions, warranty information, and simplified start up guides will remain available in the box. 

“_Looking at the entire lifecycle of a product is a key factor in our design process at Versuni,_" said Calum Armstrong, Head of Design, Versuni. "_The desire to become more sustainable in our approach really challenges us to find innovative and creative solutions, from how we package and print, to adopting alternative digital solutions._”  

"_We have partnered with Versuni at all levels of the design and production process to optimize supply chain processes and replace plastic where possible_," said Wouter van Tol, Head of Sustainability at DS Smith, Versuni’s packaging partner. "_Our pioneering Circular Design Metrics tool, created in collaboration with the Ellen McArthur Foundation, was an essential step in this. It is encouraging to see a company such as Versuni proactively work with us towards a more circular economy_."

Versuni Introduces New Philips Airfryer Combi

**Amsterdam, the Netherlands** - Today, Philips Domestic Appliances has announced the change of its company name to Versuni. The new name is the next step after the Domestic Appliances business became independent in September 2021. Although the visual identity of the company is changing, its mission to turn houses into homes remains constant. As a licensee of Royal Philips, the company will continue to use the Philips consumer brand, as well as Saeco, Gaggia and Philips Walita, on its products and services. Consumers can also continue to use products of its other brands: Preethi, L’OR Barista and Senseo.

**About the new company name**
Philips Domestic Appliances has a simple, powerful and consistent mission: turning houses into homes. This will continue to be the mission of Versuni. It is this mission that has been the inspiration for the new company name, a name based on two words that reflect the meaning of home to many people. Versuni puts a new spin on the powerful word – UNIVERSE. The company believes that home is about having a place that you can truly call your own. Versuni also speaks to the word UNIVERSAL. Because no matter where you live, we all have a need for home.

**Starting a new chapter**
The new company name is an important next step after the disentanglement from Royal Philips in September 2021 and the sale to Hillhouse Capital, a global investment firm focused on helping companies achieve long-term sustainable growth through digital innovation and enablement. The new company name will be implemented worldwide throughout 2023 and supported with a new and distinct company visual identity. 

Versuni will encompass passionate teams that are proud to discover, design, and deliver premium products that foster the feeling of home. Products that adhere to EcoDesign requirements and reflect the company’s commitment to sustainability, focusing on three main aspects: the circular economy, climate action, and underserved households.

**Product Innovation**
Versuni, which is headquartered in the Netherlands, is active in more than 100 countries, and has a global innovation, manufacturing, and commercial footprint. With more than 900 patents on its name, the company’s portfolio spans kitchen appliances, coffee, climate care, garment and floor care.

**Amsterdam, the Netherlands** - Philips Domestic Appliances is adding the new Philips Eco Conscious Edition blender to their sustainable breakfast set. Like the kettle, toaster and coffee maker, the blender is made with bio-based plastic from waste vegetable oil and offers consumers a more sustainable alternative when making their favorite recipes in the blender. The introduction of the Philips Eco Conscious Edition blender fits perfectly with the company’s ambition to develop meaningful and much-loved consumer innovations designed with sustainability at the core. The new blender is equipped with certain high-performing features that have a lower environmental impact, while the overall blender does not compromise on smooth and creamy blended perfection or cutting-edge design.

**Henk S. de Jong, CEO Philips Domestic Appliances:**
“At Philips Domestic Appliances, we are on a journey to become a more sustainable company. We aim to develop products made with more sustainable materials, that are easier to repair, refurbish, recycle, and help to reduce waste. We are working hard to achieve our ambitions by making conscious choices caring for people’s homes and our planet. In 2021, we refurbished 14,300 products and made them available for consumers via Philips.com. Today, we are introducing the newest addition to our eco-friendly breakfast set. I am excited about the road ahead as we continue to reach our goals by creating sustainable solutions and helping people turn their houses into homes.”

**Sleek design meets natural materials**
By choosing for bio-based plastic1 and Tritan™ Renew instead of traditional plastic, consumers can help to grow a better planet by contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions by as much as 17% during production process2, water pollution and limiting overall use of soil resources. But at the same time, they would rather not make concessions in terms of design. Thanks to the nature-inspired design, silk white matte finish, and natural materials, the Philips Eco Conscious Edition blender offers a more sustainable alternative but also has a stylish and clean design. The Philips Eco Conscious Edition Collection was already rewarded with a Red Dot design award in 2022 and the latest addition is a real eye catcher as well - perfect for every kitchen worktop.

The recycled plastic Tritan™ Renew Tumbler makes for a stylish, ergonomic design, doubling-up as a water bottle so people can cut back on single plastic use.

Equipped to stand-up to the rigors of daily use, the recycled plastic tumbler is BPA free, safe for any food contact, dishwasher durable to withstand hundreds of wash cycles, and is impact and shatter resistant. To further reduce waste, it ships wrapped in plastic-free product packaging with the product sleeves made with paper, from 100% recycled content.

**A smooth and creamy blend**
Ensuring the Philips Eco Conscious Edition blender provides smooth and creamy perfection without compromising on its performance is the ProBlend technology that creates an optimal flow of ingredients. ProBlend technology combines three features custom-designed to work perfectly together for smooth blends with no lumps. Firstly, the ProBlend motor delivers 350W power to drive the blending flow and evenly circulate the ingredients. The second feature, the ProBlend blades, are uniquely shaped to maximize force and cutting performance while the ProBlend tumbler is designed with unique ribs to continuously guide ingredients back into the blending flow. Combining the three features guarantees a perfectly smooth blend with no lumps, ideal for that morning breakfast smoothie or lunchtime soup.

**Amsterdam, the Netherlands** – Life is messy and you need to be prepared for all it can throw at you. At Philips Domestic Appliances, they understand the reality of the daily challenges you may face when it comes to juggling your work, family, social life and household tasks. With the Philips AquaTrio Cordless Wet & Dry Vacuum 9000 Series the company aims to simplify your routine and allow you to create a comfortable clean space for your family, pets and guests, so you can get living. Never drag around a heavy bucket with reused dirty mopping water again. Thanks to the Aqua Diffusion SystemTM a constant flow of clean water is released from the separate tank onto the floor, and immediately picked up again by the Power Brushes. This ensures that each part of your floor is constantly cleaned with clean water. In addition to the wet & dry cleaning option, the Philips AquaTrio Cordless also comes with a vacuum only set-up and a detachable handheld for added convenience.

**Henk Siebren de Jong, CEO Philips Domestic Appliances:**
“Although most of us prefer a cleaner home, there are more enjoyable things we can spend our time on. At Philips Domestic Appliances, we listen to consumers and develop meaningful innovations that make life easier for them. The Philips AquaTrio Cordless offers consumers the most complete** hygienic cleaning solution to clean every floor type and much faster. After years of development, I’m thrilled for this innovation to reach consumers around the world allowing them to clean their house in a fast and efficient way.”

**One advanced system with three powerful cleaning options**
The Philips AquaTrio Cordless allows you to face any challenge with the option to easily switch between three powerful cleaning configurations:

1. Vacuum and mop, double the power in one stroke1: the unique AquaSpin™ nozzle vacuums and actively wet-cleans your hard floor, removing dust, dirt, stubborn stains, spills and up to 99.9%* of bacteria in one go.
2. Advanced vacuum only set-up: capture up to 98% of dust and dirt in each stroke*** on all your hard floors and soft floors such as carpets and rugs.
3. Detachable handheld vacuum for added convenience: clean upholstery, shelves and table surfaces with ease, while also perfect for quick touch-ups or car cleaning.

**Vacuum and mop with double the power1 for the most hygienic clean**
Unlike traditional mopping, the Philips AquaTrio Cordless system uses a constant flow of clean water and 2 high-speed self-cleaning Power Brushes with patented technology. These 2 ultra-soft microfiber Power Brushes counter-rotate at very high speed and clean backwards and forwards, capturing dust, dirt, and bacteria like no other cordless vacuum cleaner. The Aqua Diffusion™ System features separate clean water tank technology and soiled water collection, meaning you avoid spreading dirty water and each part of your floor is treated hygienically with clean water only – no dirt is left behind and no dirt is spread while cleaning.

**Intelligent design and cleaning expertise in the palm of your hand**
Designed for exceptional maneuverability on all types of floors, with deep reach under low furniture. Hard to detect dust and dirt becomes easy to spot with the help of LED lights on the nozzle. A digital LCD smart screen provides you with all information you need during and after the clean. It allows you to easily see battery power status, cleaning modes, adjust wetness levels for stubborn stains and spills, while colored animations and QR codes help to guide you during the cleaning process.

With the long-lasting runtime, there is no need to recharge during your cleaning. The powerful 25.2V lithium-ion battery brings runtime with up to 45 minutes2 in one go, or up to 90 minutes runtime with second battery3. Plus, Philips Domestic Appliances has added an automated after-clean mode to clean your full appliance in only 4 minutes, which makes sure that your appliance and Power Brushes are clean and ready for your next challenge. Simply place the appliance on the storage station and activate the AUTOCLEAN program and you’re good to go.
