Challenges such as extreme temperatures, poor air quality, and changing weather patterns affect health as well as energy usage, prompting consumers to balance comfort and convenience while managing electricity consumption.

TCL Electronics, a consumer electronic products provider, offers reliable solutions to these challenges when it unveiled four new product innovations equipped with latest technologies that prioritize health and environment protection. These appliances – QD MiniLED TV, FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner, Fresh Pro refrigerator, and Front Loading washing machine – were launched during the company’s 25th anniversary celebration.  

The TCL QD MiniLED TV, which combines QLED and OLED technologies to offer contrast and color gamut while providing higher peak brightness and a longer lifespan, has feature that protects vision. The product is certified by TUV for Low Blue Light Emission that reduces eye strain and potential long-term damage. It is also equipped with Flicker-Free technology to minimize screen flickering for a more comfortable viewing experience. The Ambient Light Adaptation feature adjusts brightness to reduce eye strain while the MEMC Motion Stabilization ensures smoother visuals and reduced eye fatigue.

For environmental protection, the TCL MiniLED TV has energy efficiency features such as the Powerful Light-emitting chip that provides 10% increase in energy efficiency, thereby reducing power consumption, and the QD MiniLED technology for a longer span, minimizing electronic waste and the need for frequent replacements.

The TCL FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner also uses technologies that prioritize health and environment care. Foremost among these is the FreshIN technology that provides fresh air while maintaining stable indoor temperatures, removing odors, optimizing humidity, and increasing oxygen levels. This newest innovation has a real-time quality display with an integrated TVOC sensor that detects harmful particles, and maintains a healthy indoor environment.

The air conditioner has a quadruple purification system that includes a preliminary filter, silver ion antibacterial layer HEPA high-efficiency filter, and high-density filter which ensure efficient air purification and removing up to PM2.5 particles and allergens. It also has an evaporator with self-cleaning process that includes dewing, frosting, defrosting, drying, and sterilizing to eliminate bacteria.

To care for the environment, the FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner is equipped with energy-saving technology that enables the compressor to adjust its operation frequency and allocate cooling power efficiently, achieving up to 37% energy-saving rate. Its Innovative Reverse Clean technology removes dust and debris from the outdoor unit, ensuring clog-free air conditioners and prolonging its lifespan.

The health protection technology that the TCL Fresh Pro refrigerator offers to its customers is the T-Fresh system that reduces bacteria by up to 99.99% through advanced sterilization, keeping food fresher and safer for long. It also utilizes an advanced purification module to absorb unwanted odors, ensuring a clean and odor-free environment.

For its environment protection features, the TCL Fresh Pro refrigerator uses a variable-speed compressor to maintain ideal temperatures, reducing energy consumption by up to 15% and saving money on electricity bills. The product also offers a 10-year warranty on inverter compressor to ensure durability and reliability while reducing electronic waste.

Customers who are looking for a washing machine that has both health and environment protection features can try the TCL front loading washing machine. This product features Steam Wash which eliminates most common bacteria to ensure hygienic protection for your laundry, and Anti-bacteria Gasket which inhibits the production of bacteria and mildew to keep laundry clean and hygienic.

To protect the environment, the TCL washing machine has a BLDC Inverter Motor that reduces vibration, noise and energy consumption. This washing machine is rated A-energy class, indicating low environmental impact. Apart from these, the product also offers an Auto Weight System which automatically adjusts water consumption and cycle duration according to the weight of the load, saving water and energy.

Anko, Australia’s much-loved home and lifestyle brand, is set to open its third and largest store in the Philippines in July 2025 at Ayala Group’s Trinoma Mall in Quezon City.

Spanning 1,634 square meters, the new store will offer 1,421 square meters of retail space, with the remaining area allocated for office and stockroom use to support operations efficiently.

This expansion follows Anko’s debut in the Philippines with its first store opening in Glorietta 2, Makati City, in November 2024, and the upcoming launch of its second branch in Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa City, in May 2025.

A striking board-up in Anko’s signature magenta hue is now on display at Level 1 of Trinoma’s Activity Center, building excitement for the grand opening.

Shoppers can look forward to an expansive selection of thoughtfully designed and affordably priced products, ranging from home living essentials and smart storage solutions to beauty must-haves, nursery items, children’s toys, electronics, pet supplies, and arts and crafts.

Puri noted Anko’s efficient product development process, which enables the brand to provide quality home essentials at consistently low prices.

“By managing the entire process—from design and sourcing to production and retail—we streamline operations and keep costs down. This allows us to offer well-designed, functional products that align with international trends at prices that make sense for our Filipino customers,” he said.

Rachel Turner, Country Manager of Anko Philippines, added, “Anko is all about making everyday living brighter. With our Trinoma store, we are very excited to bring even more shoppers home and lifestyle essentials designed to match every lifestyle.”
