Key Product Features
Q-Rator
Samsung’s Q-Rator technology is the ultimate AI-powered laundry assistant that provides users with three smart features to manage laundry with added convenience.
Laundry Planner enables consumers to manage a laundry finishing time, freeing them to control their schedule on their own terms. The intuitive interface is easy to use and will even recommend the proper cycle for the given time.
Laundry Recipe gives automatic recommendations for optimal wash cycles based on information such as colour, fabric type and degree of soiling inputted by the user, eliminating the need for guessing about which cycle is best.
HomeCare Wizard proactively monitors your washing machine’s condition and provides tips to ensure that it is maintained at its best. It also provides you with quick and easy remote troubleshooting support.
Hygiene Steam
Hygiene Steam ensures that garments are clean and sanitized. It improves the washing quality by releasing stream from the bottom of the drum. As a result, each garment inside the drum is completely soaked. Hygiene Steam removes dirt and up to 99.9% of the bacteria.
Eco Bubble™
Samsung’s Eco Bubble™ technology uses a bubble generator to dissolve detergent into the water and then inject air, producing a rich soapy foam cushion. With less mechanical actions and bubble cushion, the technology protects clothes from getting damaged. The softer and smoother bubble action protects delicate clothes such as outdoor wear and water repellent fabrics. Eco Bubble™ ensures the detergent is properly dissolved into the water leading to faster penetration into clothes. The Super Eco Wash program washes at just 15°C, with the results of a 40°C wash, using just 30% of the energy as a result.
Ceramic Heater
Samsung Washing Machines come with a double ceramic coating, unlike conventional heaters. The ceramic heater is three times more durable than regular heaters. It saves you money on repairs and avoids scaling that takes place due to hard water. As a result of this innovation, not only are heaters protected from the build-up of water scale deposit, the durability of your washing machine is tripled with increased energy efficiency.
Digital Inverter
Samsung’s Digital Inverter Technology reduces friction in the motor. Having less friction makes your washing machine run much quieter and smoothly, which makes it perfect for open plan living and keeping that budget in check. Digital Invertor Technology also reduces running costs by using precise operations for laundry loads.
Addwash™
Samsung’s AddWash comes with an Add Door that allows consumers to add laundry items anytime during the wash cycle. It also lets consumers add hand washed items only for rinsing, or additional softener anytime they want during the wash cycle. AddWash also allows easy ventilation of the washing tub even in narrow laundry rooms without any hassles.
AirWash
Samsung AirWash technology deodorizes and sanitizes your clothes, so they always smell fresh. Using just heated air, unpleasant odors are removed and bacteria is eliminated without using water, detergent or other chemicals. Clothing that can be refreshed includes woolen coats, cotton jumpers, sweaters, and suits.
