The Sunbeam FoodSaver FreshSaver was last week announced the 2012 Product of the Year in the Small Appliances category. The product is a hand-held, vacuum sealing system.

Sunbeam received the award in Sydney last Thursday, after being announced as a finalist in September 2011.

Nicole Cowley, marketing manager Sunbeam, received the award.

“Sunbeam’s handheld FoodSaver FreshSaver is a truly convenient and innovative product made for consumers who are conscious about saving money and reducing food wastage,” Cowley said.

The product works by vacuum packaging (sans air and moisture) food in zipper bags and containers.

The Product of the Year event rewards manufacturers for quality and innovation. The accolade is the world’s largest consumer voted award for production innovation. It hopes to help consumers choose the best products in the market. 7.000 Australian shoppers choose which product they prefer in each category.

Appliances Online stocks a wide range of kitchen appliances made by Sunbeam, as well as ironing boards. Sunbeam sandwich presses, food processors and stick blenders are some of the most popular purchased items.

Having once had to sit on the washing machine to stop it from bouncing into oblivion, Keri is today delighted with the new (smoother running) technologies that make housework easier every day. A self-confessed lazy-bones, Keri seeks out quirky inventions that ease the human workload, such as the robotic vacuum cleaner (wow). And as soon as someone figures out a Jetsons-like self-cleaning house, she will happily lay her pen to rest and retire from appliance journalism. Until then, her pick is a fridge that will tell her smartphone when it's time to pick up more beer on the way home. Magic.
