From fridges and ovens to washing machines and air purifiers, Electrolux has built a legacy on aiming to improve life at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>While household work has been simplified significantly, in 2023 the average person in the US <span class=\"s1\">spent almost two hours on housework each da<\/span><span class=\"s1\">y<\/span>,<\/strong> while the average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/personalandhouseholdfinances\/incomeandwealth\/bulletins\/timeuseintheuk\/march2023\"><span class=\"s1\">Briton spent more than two and a half hours <\/span>daily.<\/a> Around the world, from Australia to Norway, housework like cleaning, cooking and washing has historically more often been completed by women \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.demographic-research.org\/volumes\/vol35\/16\/35-16.pdf\"><span class=\"s1\">with women in some countries like Italy taking on more than four hours of housework each day <\/span><\/a>in the mid 20th Century. Today, it is still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/personalandhouseholdfinances\/incomeandwealth\/bulletins\/timeuseintheuk\/23septemberto1october2023\"><span class=\"s1\">more often completed by women<\/span>,<\/a> although the gap has narrowed in recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Today, Electrolux\u2019s mission is to enable better living through thoughtfully-designed technology, human-centric innovation and Scandinavian design. <strong>This is informed by the brands Swedish values \u2013 togetherness, practicality, love and respect for nature, and an appreciation for premium simplicity that enhances wellbeing and makes daily life simpler.<\/strong> \u201cI think good design can really help you to get the most out of your life and out of your home,\u201d says Sara Hallin Sandstr\u00f6m, design director and brand expression at Electrolux. \u201cIt can provide a sense of calm and inspiration. And if it\u2019s done well it can enhance your wellbeing and your connection to the world and those around you.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">I think good design can really help you to get the most out of your life and out of your home. \u2013 Sara Hallinn Sandstr\u00f6m, design director and brand expression at Electrolux<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">For Electrolux, wellness starts with the understanding that the home is its own ecosystem that should work in harmony. A central pillar of housework happens in the kitchen. By trying to reduce food waste, and promoting healthier eating habits their appliances, Electrolux say, empower people to live more consciously, comfortably and in tune with the environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>\u201cThe kitchen is where you nourish your loved ones and your own body, it\u2019s where you connect and share,\u201d says Johanna Thorell, category marketing manager in Sweden,<\/strong> adding that the kitchen is the heart of the home, which is a big reason why people want to spend their money wisely in this room. \u201cThat is reflected in how we innovate our products. It\u2019s about bringing solutions to ensure the experience using them is as effortless as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-45251 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-3-600x401.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The company believes that a better home begins with appliances that save time, and effort, and promote a healthier lifestyle. \u201cOur design process revolves around people,\u201d says Hallin Sandstr\u00f6m. \u201cWe know that it\u2019s difficult to change human nature. Instead, we support change through human centric design and product innovation. By addressing pain points with resource saving features and default settings in our products we extend the life of clothes, while food retains nutrients for longer, and at the same time limiting the burden on the planet by reducing energy and water consumption.\u201d <strong>SteamRefresh in Electrolux washing machines, for example, allows consumers to freshen their clothes with up to 96% less water.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Supporting a harmonious home can be made easier with smart tech. In the laundry room, Electrolux places a strong emphasis on user experience through its \u2018Care\u2019 focus area and app. \u201cWe must reach our customers in a way that\u2019s easy for them, so the app is allowing us to do that,\u201d says Elisa Stabon, head of product experience. \u201cSo many people around the world have their smartphone at hand, so if they can control their cycle, it makes it easy for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The app features a SmartLeaf and CareMeter which shows the user visual information about the spin cycle, temperature, water use and energy use, so that they can make informed decisions about their washes. Electrolux\u2019s app-integrated washing systems also give users real-time feedback and suggestions to help optimise every load. \u201cThe ability to trust that the machine adjusts things like cycle length, water and energy use \u2013 without requiring user input \u2013 gives people peace of mind,\u201d Stabon adds. \u201cAnd it makes what\u2019s usually a dull task feel far more efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>\u201cPeople often don&#8217;t know that the air in their homes can actually be less clean than the air outside,\u201d says Tanya Searle, head of product innovation wellbeing and small domestic appliances.<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re focusing strongly on what we call multi-air treatment products \u2013 designed to offer total air care in one device.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">For me, home care is selfcare. It\u2019s about creating a space that supports you without even thinking about it. \u2013 Sara Hallinn Sandstr\u00f6m, design director and brand expression at Electrolux<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">As Electrolux looks to the future, the company continues to combine form and function. Its product development teams consider not just how appliances operate individually, but how they integrate with each other. That means collaborating across product categories, so fridges, cookers, and even freezers work together in a seamless ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cFor me, home care is selfcare. It\u2019s about creating a space that supports you without even thinking about it,\u201d says Hallin Sandstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-45252 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BBCSW_electrolux_italie-1-600x401.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Electrolux\u2019s connected appliances aim to reduce daily stress by learning user habits and automating decisions.<\/strong> \u201cIf you have access to our app, which tells you how the machine you\u2019ve bought can be the most effective, version of itself, you\u2019re in control,\u201d says Tanya Searle. \u201cIt\u2019s like decoding a language you otherwise wouldn\u2019t have known.
