Moulinex’s Odacio food processor introduced in the Middle East features a new mince grinder supplied alongside its existing range of attachments. The new attachment rapidly turns selected cuts of meat into mince. It is suited for preparing home made burgers, lasagnes, moussakas and other dishes. “The new mincer offers an even greater flexibility for the already multipurpose blender,” said Vincent Berry, marketing director of Groupe Seb Dubai. Aside from its new mincer attachment, the Odacio processor handles food blending, featuring a two-speed setting and a pulse feature for control of blend consistence. A liquidizer jug and food processor bowl offer a 1.5 liter and three liter capacities, respectively. Additional tool options include a metal blade for general use, a mini chopper, a metal whisk, a dough attachment, five metal disks for grating and slicing and a recipe book. Odacio also comes supplied with a juice extractor.
Samsung Laser Printer
Samsung Electronics introduced its new ML-2851ND monochrome laser printer series that is specifically targeted for small-size businesses and SOHO users. The Samsung ML-2851ND, with a print speed of 28- 30 (A4) pages per minute, is the world’s most compact monochrome laser printer with built-in duplex feature (364 X 369 X 209.6 mm). Thanks to its compact height and volume, the Samsung ML-2851ND conserves valuable office space, while existing models with duplex feature are usually too bulky to fit on a regular desk. The ML-2851ND is 6cm lower in height, on average, than the other monochrome laser printers in its class. “Based on our market research we found that today’s small office users are increasingly demanding such attributes as compact size, convenience, durability, and efficiency from their printers,” noted Jangjae Lee, senior vice president of the Digital Printing Division at Samsung Electronics. Samsung Electronics also launched a new 225UW monitor. The monitor 225UW incorporates a 22 inch clear TN Panel screen which provides 1680x1050 at 60 Hz resolution and brightness of 300 cd/m that bring life to digital images, with a contrast ration of 700:1. 225UW monitor is a solution for personal video-communication device with its live communication features — a 2.0M pixel webcam, 2 array microphones and a hidden stereo speaker. It communicates with clarity and ensures that the user is always seen, heard and able to hear with complete clarity. “We will keep on producing outstanding models combining both premium technology and lifestyle design,” said Seung Gu Kang, general manager of the IT division at Samsung Gulf Electronics. 225UW also communicates with style. The glossy black finish of the monitor will enable the user to feel more comfortable and confident.
