Salton to Launch Beyond iCEBOX in UK

Salton Europe, the leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality small appliances, is about to revolutionise the face of the British household with the UK launch of iCEBOX, the first product in the Salton Beyond Connected Home Initiative.

Salton's Beyond line of networked home devices is designed to reach a broad spectrum of consumers, focusing on saving time and improving quality of life. Linked together via a home network, the Beyond connected appliances will provide a convenient, stylish and highly efficient system for contemporary living.

iCEBOX is the first all-in-one web-enabled entertainment centre designed specifically to save space and to provide busy families with quick and easy access to information, communication and entertainment (I.C.E.). The connections available make it easy to build into a wider home network and so a great added value product for the custom installer.

Key features of iCEBOX include television, DVD/ CD player, broadband Internet access, email, FM radio and home video monitoring. The iCEBOX also comes equipped with a washable, wireless keyboard and remote control and a touch screen LCD monitor with stylus. With a strategic location like in a kitchen the iCEBOX offers invaluable services for homeowners to enjoy the value of a multipurpose entertainment centre and networked home control centre in one space saving package.

Graham Drage, Business Development Manager for Beyond, comments: "The introduction of the iCEBOX heralds a new chapter of innovation for Salton and we are delighted to be launching this easy-to-use, premium product. iCEBOX is also the first product in Salton's Beyond range, which will be expanded soon with other remarkable and affordable connected appliances."

The iCEBOX FlipScreen, the flagship of the Beyond product line, will be available for purchase in the UK from Q3 2003 through the distributor AWE Europe. The perfect union of elegance and innovation, the FlipScreen iCEBOX fits conveniently under a space such as a kitchen cabinet and features an adjustable LCD monitor that flips up and out of the way when not in use. The iCEBOX keyboard is wireless making it simple to move around and store, as well as shockproof and greaseproof.
