Samsung Electronics Australia today launches a new range of washing machines and dryers, continuing to help Australians get more out of their laundry appliances while being energy-efficient. The new range brings together Samsung’s latest innovations that are uniquely positioned to deliver great laundry results along with a smart, personalised and simplified laundry experience.

Smarter and more control

“We want to make life simpler for Australian’s, and our new range of Washing Machine and Dryers deliver modern AI technology that improves their everyday laundry experience,” says Andrew Wand, Head of Home Appliances, Samsung Australia.

“We’ve been spending more time at home and our awareness of hygiene and cleanliness has increased, this extends to our clothes, towels and bedding. We’re proud to be launching more intelligent and intuitive devices that gets the laundry done faster. By providing remote connectivity and personalised settings via machine learning that reflect changes in our usage patterns, the routine task of doing the washing has been simplified.” Wand concludes.

Building on Samsung’s reliable performance is artificial intelligence, which learns and remembers users’ behavioral patterns to recommend cyclesi and offer a truly personalised laundry experience. With AI Control, the new Samsung washing machine familiarises itself with user preferences to provide automatic suggestion of wash cycles on its display1.

Typically, most people only use 3.7 cycles among 14 wash cyclesii, and the new range is paired with a simple user interface and AI-Pattern which minimises the need for users to scroll through cycles to find the right one, or to input individualised settings each time. This means that users can get to their preferred cycles sooner, making it easier for anyone in the family to do the washing. The AI Wash2 feature uses clever sensors-technology to detect the amount of laundry and level of soiling to determine the optimal amount of water and detergent to dispense with the Smart Auto-Dispenser.

All the appliances in Samsung’s new laundry lineup are compatible with SmartThings3 offering users control over laundry settings from their smartphone and features like Laundry Planner and Laundry Recipe to customise laundry routines. With intelligent location, users can start, stop, and set the optimum wash cycle in and outside the home via

the SmartThings app.

The washers and dryers are perfectly matched, working hand-in-hand to give optimised results meaning there are no additional instructions needed to be set after the wash is complete with the Auto-Cycle Link feature.

Performance in up to half the time

Samsung’s range continues to offer QuickDriveTM technology which reduces the washing time by up to 50%iii whilst saving up to 20% on energy usage and providing great cleaning performance. The independently moving drum and backplate allows for more dynamic actions, cleaning garments thoroughly in less time. The range also includes Samsung’s Digital Inverter Compressor which is designed for energy efficiency by utilising strong magnets for quieter and stronger performance, while using less energy compared to a universal motor.

Hard on dirt, gentle on clothes

Samsung’s steam and hygiene cycles across the washing machine and dryer range are designed to attack germs and can reduce up to 99.99% of certain common bacteriaiv when sanitising both wet and dry clothes.

BubbleWash is designed to generate foam by pre-mixing detergent with air and water from the beginning of the cycle. The optional, pre-wash treatment thoroughly soaks clothes in bubbles before the wash starts to help ensure a thorough clean.

Increased energy efficiency

The new dryer has 9-star energy rated Heat Pump technology which is Samsung’s most efficient yet. Additionally, BubbleWash technology in the washers are capable of activating detergent even in cold water, saving consumers additional energy that may have been used to heat water.

Intelligent drying

The OptimalDry System is an intelligent drying system which uses moisture sensors to monitor humidity levels and adjust drying time for the best result, while helping to protect clothes from damage. The 35 mins Quick Dry cycle gets small loads dry and ready quickly while the Super Speed cyclevi can dry 3kg in 81 mins.

Ultimate convenience

When it comes to doing laundry, most of us put our clothes on a Normal Cycle. However, Samsung’s washing machines can do more by coming programmed with customisable features that make life easier. Features such as Super Speed cycle allow you to wash and dry in less than 2 hours, and Silent Dry offers an integrated noise reduction system so you can run it even at night. In addition, Active Wear Cycle provides effective soil removal with gentle action for specific fabric care of your favourite workout clothes. If you forget an item, the AddWash door lets you simply and quickly add forgotten clothing or fabric softener after any wash cycle has started. Users can also easily pop in hand-washed clothes that they just want to rinse or spin dry.
