Company's IBS exhibit gives homeowners more choices and
conveniences ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Maytag Corporation's (NYSE:MYG) family of brands introduces new
products that combine the conveniences consumers want with the
performance they demand during the 2006 International Builders'
Show, January 11-14. From the industry's first refrigerator that
combines consumers' favorite features in one appliance to the
world's first "sport utility vacuum" to a slide-in range that makes
kitchen island cooking and entertaining easy, Maytag Corporation
showcases innovations for the home through its Maytag(R), Hoover(R)
and Jenn-Air(R) brands on display at booth #W501. Maytag(R)
Ice2O(TM) French Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator Offers Everything
For Everyone Today's time-starved families demand a lot from their
refrigerators: easy access to ice and water for the kids to cool
down after the big game; plenty of room to store fresh food,
including large deli platters for entertaining; and well-organized
storage that puts everything from beverages to frozen meals within
convenient reach. There no longer is a need to compromise on any of
these features, thanks to the new Maytag(R) Ice2O(TM) French Door
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator. It combines the best features of a
side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerator in one revolutionary
design, with the industry's first external filtered ice and water
dispenser on a French door and the largest-available fresh food
capacity. Until now, consumers had to choose either a side-by-side
refrigerator with ice and water on the door or a bottom-freezer
model that offered wider storage for fresh foods, but no external
ice dispenser. Establishing a new high-water mark for convenience
and versatility, the Maytag Ice2O French Door Bottom-Freezer
Refrigerator includes the generous fresh food compartment and
convenient organizational features that Mom wants for keeping foods
neatly stored and at eye level; the bottom-freezer access that Dad
wants for his next late-night ice cream snack; and, for the entire
family, the ease of external ice and water. An ENERGY
STAR(R)-qualified appliance, the Maytag Ice2O French Door
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator also exceeds federal energy-efficiency
standards by 15 percent - helping consumers conserve energy and
save money. Hoover(R) Introduces World's First Sport Utility Vacuum
For An All-Terrain Cleaning Experience Hoover has introduced the
world's first sports utility vacuum designed to seamlessly conquer
any surface for a high level of cleaning. The Hoover(R) Z(TM)
Bagless Upright Vacuum is a first-of-its-kind cleaner that comes
fully loaded for an entirely new performance in the floor-care
category. Consumers' cleaning needs have changed due to the growing
trend of multiple floor surfaces within the home. Today's home
requires a single vacuum that can adjust to different carpet levels
and transition from hard to delicate surfaces, both on and above
the floor. The features of the Hoover Z Bagless Upright address
major concerns voiced by vacuum users - the starting and stopping
motion of the cleaning process as users switch between vacuums and
modes, the need for efficient cleaning across multiple surfaces and
heights and the maintenance associated with cleaning and replacing
the main filter. The Hoover Z bagless upright focuses on all
aspects of vacuuming from set up and start to use and storage,
designed to provide a truly satisfying cleaning experience.
Features of the new vacuum include a DigiTouch(TM) control pad
allowing for a seamless, automatic adjustment between surfaces and
settings without the need to bend over the vacuum, and a
patent-pending self-cleaning HEPA filter that automatically cleans
itself every six seconds and never needs replacing to maintain a
high level of cleaning. Its super-stretch hose extends 20 feet for
convenient above-the-floor cleaning of curtains, drapes, molding
and tops of stairs. The patent-pending collapsible Z-Fold(TM)
design also offers the performance and convenience of an upright
with the flexibility and stability of a canister in one vacuum. The
new, flagship product of the Hoover line of high-performance
cleaning appliances is available in two models, the Hoover Z 700
and Hoover Z 400. Jenn-Air(R) Slide-In Ranges Create A Kitchen
Island Paradise According to a recent survey from the National
Association of Home Builders (NAHB), 77 percent of homeowners say
that a kitchen island is an important consideration when buying,
building or remodeling a home. When it comes to island cooking, no
appliance is more popular or versatile than a slide-in range. At
the same time, the kitchen island is a utilitarian area for food
preparation and an appealing space for entertaining. The new
Jenn-Air(R) slide-in ranges serve both functions fabulously, with
flexible fuel sources, built-in warming drawers and new performance
features that are worthy of Jenn- Air's cooking heritage. The
standard 30-inch width provides excellent installation flexibility,
while the flush-to-counter styling gives the range a high-end,
built-in look. The new slide-in range collection also features
models with Jenn-Air's renowned downdraft ventilation system.
Downdraft ranges eliminate smoke and odor from the cooking surface,
eliminating the need for an overhead hood. And as downdraft
captures the smoke and odors at the point of creation, it operates
more efficiently than an overhead hood. In fact, a downdraft system
is nine times more efficient than an overhead hood of similar
power. The new models combine high-performance features with
Jenn-Air's exclusive styling, including the popular Floating Glass
finish. New Jenn-Air slide-in range offerings include completely
re-engineered downdraft and updraft gas models, a Euro-Style
Stainless dual-fuel model and a sleek "Gas on Glass" look that
couples gas power with the popular glass cooking surface that
dominates new electric cooktops. Jenn-Air's new ranges feature the
industry's largest slide-in oven capacities, while convection
models include the exclusive MultiMode(R) convection system for
ideal results when baking, roasting, drying or thawing. Plus,
Jenn-Air's new convection element improves heat distribution and
airflow, making the new Jenn-Air slide-in ranges an ideal choice
for serious home gourmets. Maytag Corporation is a leading producer
of home and commercial appliances. Its products are sold to
customers throughout North America and in international markets.
The corporation's principal brands include Maytag(R), Hoover(R),
Jenn-Air(R), Amana(R), Dixie-Narco(R) and Jade(R). EDITOR'S NOTE:
