																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics’ premium washing machines continue to receive acclaim from around the globe. The 2018 Which? Awards recently <a href="https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/05/which-awards-2018-winners-revealed/?utm_campaign=whichawards&utm_medium=endorsement&utm_source=samsung" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced Samsung Electronics as the leading Large Appliance brand</a> for its range of home appliances. This award comes as the latest in a string of media and industry recognition from around the world for Samsung’s QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology and FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> machines.</p>
<p>But what is it about Samsung’s laundry solutions that have captivated the industry and consumers alike? Demand for premium home appliances has increased in recent years, and Samsung’s success in this burgeoning field is due to its ability to create simple yet innovative laundry solutions, informed by consumer needs and enhanced by the power of IoT and AI. In an industry that has long been dominated by conventional solutions, Samsung’s disruptive technology redefines the laundry process as we know it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-103020" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/washing-machines-acclaim_main_1_F.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="397" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Breakthrough Washing Performance</strong></span></h3>
<p>With convenience that doesn’t compromise performance being the top priority for consumers when choosing home appliances, Samsung has cemented its status within the market thanks to the key features of its two most advanced washers – the speed of QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and the flexibility of FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. Though washing methods have significantly changed over time and improved throughout the industry, these latest laundry solutions are a testament to Samsung’s history of innovation, and rewrite the very definition of washing performance.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-103011" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/washing-machines-acclaim_main_2.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="318" /></p>
<p>QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology provides a full wash cycle in half the time of conventional machines<sup>*</sup>, with all the fabric care, performance and durability users value. This unrivaled technology caters to the lifestyles of modern consumers by saving them valuable time to do more of the things they love. Its status as a leading laundry innovation was commended by this year’s <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-expands-laundry-line-up-with-new-premium-compact-washer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CES Innovation Awards</a>.</p>
<p>The FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> system offers the award-winning option to wash two loads of laundry at the same time, meeting the needs of consumers who require flexibility in their machine usage. Samsung’s unique dual laundry system and its unprecedented flexibility have transformed how people tackle multiple loads of laundry.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Intuitive Smart Features</strong></span></h3>
<p>Samsung washing machines with QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology are also equipped with Q-rator<sup>**</sup>, the company’s AI-powered intelligent laundry assistant, to further simplify the laundry process.</p>
<p>Q-rator provides users with intelligent and intuitive assistance through three main features: <strong>Laundry Planner </strong>enables consumers to specify a laundry finishing time; <strong>Laundry Recipe</strong> provides recommendations on the best wash cycle for a specific load; and <strong>HomeCare Wizard</strong> monitors a wash remotely for quick and responsive troubleshooting.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-103012" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/washing-machines-acclaim_main_3.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="374" /></p>
<p>The difference that these ingenious features make in the washing process has been widely acknowledged by the industry. This year’s <a href="https://www.kbis.com/show/best-of-kbis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘Best of KBIS’ awards</a> recognized both washers as leading in their fields, with QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> receiving the ‘Smart Home Technology’ award for its best-in-class laundry innovation, and FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> receiving the ‘Kitchen Silver’ award for the flexibility that its multi-load and remote smartphone-control features provide.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Prudent Product Design</strong></span></h3>
<p>The innovation found in Samsung’s laundry solutions goes beyond the advanced technology built in to each washer. Both QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> machines have been designed to provide the highest quality of performance and user experience.</p>
<p>At the heart of the QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> offerings is the Q-Drum, consisting of a main drum as well as a back plate that rotate independently, unique in the industry. Unlike conventional washing machines, QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> moves clothes dynamically around the drum in different directions.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-103013" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/washing-machines-acclaim_main_4.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="440" /></p>
<p>The FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> washing machine’s dual washer capacity, combining a small upper washer with a bigger lower washer, enables users to run two different load types simultaneously and completely separately. This unique technology has <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-washing-machines-win-ergonomic-design-award-at-the-asian-conference-on-ergonomics-and-design" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won recognition from the Asian Conference on Ergonomics and Design</a> for its holistic and compact design.</p>
<p>The two award-winning laundry solutions, QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, represent the fruition of Samsung’s drive to innovate while reflecting consumers’ lifestyles. Consumers, industry leaders and media around the world continue to recognize how these technologies allow people to do laundry more flexibly, so that they can achieve their highest quality wash yet – all while freeing up more time to spend on the important things in life.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics today announced that it is bringing its next generation laundry innovation to the U.S.:  the WW6850N washing machine featuring revolutionary QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology. Responding to consumer demand for speed and cleaning performance, the 24” compact washer cleans laundry up to 35% faster for a thorough clean<sup>1</sup>, compared to current Samsung models. The WW6850N will be on display at the upcoming International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 9-12, 2018.</p>
<p>With more Millennials than ever buying homes, this new cohort of digitally savvy homebuyers is demanding home appliances that incorporate meaningful, personalized technology to enhance their lives. The WW6850N with QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology is just the latest in a line of differentiated laundry innovations, including the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/washers/top-load/wa8750-5-4-cu--ft--activewash--top-load-washer-with-integrated-touch-controls-wa54m8750av-a4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">activewash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></a> Top Load Washer, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/washers/front-load/wf7500-5-0-cu-ft-addwash-front-load-washer-black-stainless-steel-wf50k7500av-a2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AddWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></a> Front Load Washer and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/flex-wash/meet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FlexWash + FlexDry</a> laundry pair.</p>
<p>“When you’ve got a pile of laundry to do, you just want to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said Shane Higby, Vice President, Home Appliance Marketing, Samsung Electronics America. “The introduction of the WW6850N washing machine with QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology underscores our commitment to providing consumers with options for tackling their laundry needs to free up time for what really matters.”</p>
<p>The WW6850N washer’s innovative performance starts with QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology, which features a large main drum and a back plate that move independently. This creates a dynamic action that moves clothes in four directions – up and down, and back and forth – to quickly, gently and thoroughly remove dirt for a more powerful and intense wash cycle that takes up to 35% less time than other comparable Samsung machines<sup>1</sup>. Additionally, at 24” wide and stackable, the WW6850N washer and its companion dryer are an ideal size for small spaces like first floor laundry rooms or closets just off the master suite, to conveniently tackle loads quickly and effectively.</p>
<p>The WW6850N is IoT-ready and compatible with Samsung’s SmartThings ecosystem. Its Q-rator laundry assistant has smart capabilities that simplify the washing cycle with intuitive features:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Laundry Recipe</strong> provides automatic recommendations for optimal wash cycles based on the color, fabric type, and degree of soiling inputted by the user.</li>
<li><strong>Laundry Planner</strong> allows consumers to manage the time that a wash cycle will finish, adjusting cycle settings accordingly.</li>
<li><strong>HomeCare Wizard</strong> monitors the washer to keep it operating at optimal performance and provides easy-to-follow maintenance instructions</li>
</ul>
<p>A 2018 CES Innovations Award honoree, the WW6850N washing machine with QuickDrive<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology will be available in the U.S. this year.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"></a><sup>1</sup> Tested on Samsung WW6850N with WW6800K. Saves up to 35% time on Heavy Duty (hot, 6lb load) with a washing performance within ± 3%, based on internal data tested by AHAM HLW-1-2013.</span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At its press conference at CES 2017, Samsung Electronics unveiled its vision for 2017 and how it is reaching higher with a wide range of innovations to provide consumers with their best experience yet. Key product announcements included the stunning new QLED TV lineup, FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> laundry system, Samsung’s first-ever gaming laptop, and updates to the Gear S3 smartwatch. With these innovations, Samsung demonstrated its leadership in pioneering new technology that truly fits with consumers’ lives in more personalized, intuitive ways.</p>
<p>“Despite some challenges, we’ve made big strides in 2016, gaining market share in TVs, home appliances, wearables and smartphones,” said Tim Baxter, President and Chief Operating Officer of Samsung Electronics America. “By listening to our consumers and building on our heritage of innovation, we are delivering on our vision of the future – one that is powered by connected and elegantly-designed products and services that put consumers firmly at the center.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Samsung QLED, the Next Innovation in TV</strong></span></h3>
<p>Featuring incredible advancements in the development of Quantum dot technology, Samsung unveiled the 75-inch Q8C QLED TV, which adds new metal material to nano-sized semiconductor quantum dots to deliver the perfect mix of light and color currently available in display technology. The result is a stunning large-screen QLED TV, with an incredibly accurate and precise picture that can be viewed from any angle or in any environment.</p>
<p>Samsung QLED TV takes Quantum dot technology to new heights with advanced light efficiency and stability, as well as a wider color spectrum than ever before. The new QLED TV also features truly deep black levels, perfect 100% color volume when measured with DCI perfect match, and HDR optimal brightness of 1,500 – 2,000 nits. Samsung QLED TV’s new panel design also reduces reflection so consumers can see every bold detail with unbelievable levels of contrast. Finally, QLED delivers this level of performance regardless of where one is sitting, with consistent color and picture quality from any viewing angle.</p>
<p>New design elements introduced by Samsung enhance the QLED TV experience even further.</p>
<p>The practically invisible optical cable helps to solve the issue of unsightly cords and clutter that can be found in the home with a sleek, single cord system. Additional accessories include the optional “No-Gap Wall Mount,” which makes mounting a TV flush against the wall simpler and faster than ever before. Finally, for those who desire a variety of stylish options when displaying their TV, Samsung introduced two new optional elegant TV stands – Gravity and Studio – that appeal to the consumer who prefers an un-mounted TV.</p>
<p>In addition to the new TVs, Samsung also detailed plans to deliver a more unified experience for customers using various services and devices. Last year’s hit Samsung One Remote has been enhanced to support even more devices and offer voice control capabilities across more Smart TV features. And Samsung SmartView app – available on Android and iOS – allow users to get their personalized SmartHub experience right on their phone, as well as notifications of new content even when the user’s TV is off.</p>
<p>New to the Smart TV experience in 2017 is the Samsung Sports service. The Sports Service ensures that sports fans will never miss a moment, with customizable content and alerts based on a user’s team preferences, powered by real-time partnerships with the biggest content players in sports today.</p>
<p>Rounding out this year’s new Smart TV portfolio of offerings, Samsung has extended its popular global service, TV PLUS, to the U.S. market. A new entertainment app exclusively available on Samsung Smart TVs, TV PLUS conveniently brings high quality content into a single app on your TV for the most premium viewing experience. Paired with Samsung Checkout, TV Plus is the fastest way to connect with the entertainment consumers love, right out of the box. In addition, Samsung has also partnered with FandangoNow in the U.S. to bring instant access to rent or buy more than 40,000 movies and shows, including new releases in 4K HDR.</p>
<p>Additionally, Samsung announced their newest lifestyle TV innovation. The new Lifestyle TV offers a sleek, stunning design that was curated with an artful approach. This new TV was designed to appear just like a picture would appear on a wall, outfitted with an invisible cable that allows it to hang anywhere in the home, and blend seamlessly into any living space without those unsightly cables or wires. The Lifestyle TV was awarded a “2017 Best of Innovation Award” at CES 2017 and will be launched later this year.</p>
<p>Samsung showcased its 2017 lineup of home audio visual products, including the new Soundbar Sound+ which features a built-in sub-woofer, H7 Wireless Audio and the latest UHD Blu-ray Player. The products reflect a comprehensive suite of premium features with an eye toward heightened integration, as well as a premium, simplistic design that complements the user experience across multiple devices. Finally, the new Soundbar and H7 feature the rich and detailed sound of UHQ 32bit, which upscales from any source that provides 8-24bit sound.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #000080">Unprecedented Flexibility in the Home</span> </strong></h3>
<p>Samsung unveiled a truly differentiated line of home appliances to give consumers more flexibility and choice in how they cook, clean and connect.</p>
<p>Bringing more flexibility into the laundry room, Samsung introduced FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> to meet the needs of today’s busy families. FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> is equipped with a 5.0 cu. ft. capacity front load washer, the largest in its class<sup>1</sup>, to handle normal or bulky loads. It adds another cubic foot of capacity in a separate compartment on top for washing smaller loads separately from the main load. Both washers can run separately or simultaneously with different settings.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> has the ability to tackle large laundry loads while gently drying a few delicate items at the same time at the top of the dryer. Suitable for items like athletic wear or a silk scarf, the unique Delicate Rack zone adjusts the heat automatically depending on the type of fabric being dried.</p>
<p>Signaling the company’s commitment to investing in categories in which its expertise and innovation can enrich and empower the lives of consumers, Samsung also introduced its line of new smart built-in appliances. This includes a new combination wall oven microwave, upgraded dishwasher, and matching line of premium refrigerators.</p>
<p>During the press conference, Samsung also announced Family Hub 2.0, the next generation of its award-winning refrigerator. Building upon Family Hub 1.0, which was introduced to wide acclaim last year, Family Hub 2.0 expands from four to 10 refrigerator models, so consumers can choose the refrigerator that best matches their household needs. It also features enhanced usability with intuitive app integration and new app partners to help families stay connected, manage food, and access more entertainment features on the refrigerator’s 21.5” LED touchscreen. For added convenience, Samsung’s advanced voice technology has also been integrated across many of Family Hub 2.0’s apps.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Fueling Passions with New Mobile Devices and Computers </strong></span></h3>
<p>This year at CES, Samsung introduced the next generation of mobile computing, with a range of new premium PCs that reflect the company’s commitment to design, craftsmanship, and choice. They include the Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro, a 15-inch Notebook 9 with a discrete GPU, and Samsung’s first-ever gaming laptop, the Notebook Odyssey.</p>
<p>The Samsung Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro are premium convertible laptops designed for Google Play, and can run millions of apps from the Google Play Store. The new Chromebooks feature a sleek yet durable metal body, and also go from notebook to tablet in a single snap. Thanks to Quad HD screen, the Samsung Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro perform equally well as both tablet and laptop, and are also the very first Chromebooks to come with an embedded digitizer pen. The Chromebook Plus will be available with an ARM CPU, and for those looking for even stronger performance, the Chromebook Pro will be powered by an Intel core M3 CPU.</p>
<p>Samsung’s new 15-inch Notebook 9, which will be available in the U.S. this year, is built for maximum performance and exceptional mobility. Powered by the 7<sup>th</sup>-generation Intel Kaby Lake processor, it also features a discrete GPU to tackle even the most hardware intensive tasks, from photo and video editing, to running programs on multiple monitors.</p>
<p>Lastly, Samsung’s first-ever gaming laptop, the Samsung Notebook Odyssey, offers a mobile experience that rivals a desktop rig for power, speed and comfort while still being light enough to carry in a backpack. The laptop will be available in 15 and 17-inch screen sizes. The 15-inch Odyssey is powered by Intel’s 7<sup>th</sup>-generation Core i7 processor, with up to 32 GB of 2400 Mhz DDR4 RAM, up to 256 GB SSD and HDD dual storage, and an NVIDIA GTX 1050 graphics card. More details on the17-inch Notebook Odyssey will be unveiled later this Spring.</p>
<p>Usability has also been enhanced with a built-in shortcut to maximize performance. At the push of a button, supercharge the Odyssey’s processor, graphics, and memory to realize the absolute best gaming experience.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics today introduces its revolutionary FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> laundry system, set to be unveiled at CES 2017 in Las Vegas. This versatile laundry pair was designed to offer two washers and two dryers in one system, giving consumers more choices to do laundry the way they want, in all types of situations. Incorporating a range of core Samsung laundry technologies, FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> provides the most advanced, flexible laundry solution to meet the needs of busy modern families.</p>
<p>Within the two machines, each distinct laundry compartment includes unique features to tackle wash day needs. The FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> front-loader is equipped with five cubic feet of capacity — the largest in its class<sup>1 </sup>— to handle normal or bulky loads. Meanwhile, the FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> top-loader adds another cubic foot of capacity and is built to wash smaller loads separately from the main load. To power through big laundry loads, users can operate both washers at the same time with different settings.</p>
<p>To dry fabrics, FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> has the ability to tackle large laundry loads with the added flexibility to dry a few delicate items at the same time. Users can lay clothes flat in the unique Delicate Rack zone at the top of the dryer and gently dry delicates with a controlled, heated air flow. The special zone adjusts the heat between room temperature and 95 degrees Fahrenheit automatically depending on the type of fabric being dried. The main dryer compartment also uses Samsung’s MultiSteam technology to freshen and disinfect clothes while reducing odors and wrinkles.</p>
<p>“Everyone has different clothes and different ways of caring for them,” said Seo Byung-Sam, President of Home Appliances at Samsung Electronics. “Finally, FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> is a laundry system that fits any need, all at once. We are striving to give consumers the freedom and flexibility to adjust the laundry process for the way they live, not the other way around.”</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/CES2016_FlexWash%E2%84%A2_FlexDry%E2%84%A2_Main_2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-81165 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/CES2016_FlexWash%E2%84%A2_FlexDry%E2%84%A2_Main_2.jpg" width="705" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>According to Samsung research on U.S. consumer laundry habits, 87% of U.S. consumers surveyed sort their laundry into lights and darks, different fabric types, and degrees of dirtiness, while 70% of consumers surveyed run two or more back-to-back washes. The new FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> laundry approach was developed to transform the marketplace as consumers discover a more efficient, more effective way to sort on the fly and tackle the laundry process. The ability to operate all four compartments separately and simultaneously addresses strong consumer demand to wash clothes faster while still keeping items separate.</p>
<p>The new FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> washer uses three core Samsung laundry technologies: SuperSpeed<sup>TM</sup>, PowerFoam<sup>TM</sup>, and Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT). SuperSpeed<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> shortens wash cycles to as little as 30 minutes from the usual 60 minutes, while PowerFoam<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology uses an innovative mixture of water, air and detergent to deep clean event the bulkiest items with the power of foam. VRT is engineered to minimize vibration and keep the noise level down.</p>
<p>For ease of use, the FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> washer does not require two separate water lines, eliminating the need to hire a professional to install. Additionally, easy-to-reach top-load areas on each washer and dryer unit allow consumers to more comfortably load or unload laundry. And transparent glass on the top-load compartments makes it simple to check on laundry cycles at a glance.</p>
<p>Finally, FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> are IoT-enabled, backed by smart features that will allow users to control the FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> machines with their smartphones<sup>2</sup>, using the Samsung Smart Home app. They will be able to start, stop, and monitor every cycle for both machines.</p>
<p>FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> are both CES Innovation Award honorees in 2017, continuing a string of wins for innovations including activewash<sup>TM</sup> in 2015 and AddWash<sup>TM</sup> in 2016.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The process of creating a new product is not something to be taken lightly, especially when it has the potential to touch millions of lives. Even seemingly ordinary appliances like refrigerators and washing machines have a lot of science and technology welded into each layer.</p>
<p>Usually, consumers only see the finished product and revel in its newly developed features. They don’t get to hear about the efforts made by the hundreds and thousands of team members at Samsung that work tirelessly to ensure that each opening of a refrigerator door, for example, is a good experience. Nevertheless, whether it is applying completely new technologies or improving previously commercialized ones, God is in the details.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>The HOLMEs Team</strong></span></h3>
<p>One team of unsung heroes at Samsung consists of Human Oriented Leading Material Experts or “HOLMEs.” This team is also affectionately known as the “Holmes Team,” partly due to their abilities to make brilliant observations and drive results—similar to those of Sherlock Holmes (yes, the character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle).</p>
<p>The 15-member Holmes Team created and operates a 24/7 lab designed to fully replicate a real house, solely dedicated to researching how consumers physically react to home appliances. The ultimate goal: creating products that respond to consumer needs and maximize user convenience.</p>
<p>In their lab, thermal-imaging cameras and sensors line the walls while researchers observe test subjects through a special kind of glass that camouflages their presence. This is so that participants can feel as comfortable and at home as possible.</p>
<p>Sometimes, members of the Holmes Team even take part in the experiments directly. Since certain features are more comfortable to certain people depending on age, gender, health condition, and muscle and bone structure, among other factors, it is important to observe a wide variety of people and reactions to gather effective big data. In some cases, ambitious team members go home nursing sore muscles and joints after repeating the same movements several hundred times.</p>
<p>Under the Holmes Team’s leadership, every Consumer Electronics product undergoes tens of thousands of experiments before receiving the green light to launch. Samsung AddWash was no exception.</p>
<div id="attachment_74471" style="width: 715px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-74471" class="wp-image-74471 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Addwash_705.jpg" alt="Addwash_705" width="705" height="483" /><p id="caption-attachment-74471" class="wp-caption-text">Senior Engineer Ah-Hyun Bae (left) strikes a pose with two Holmes Team members at the Future Device Lab for the Digital Appliance Business in Suwon, South Korea.</p></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Easing Stress with an Ergonomic Design</strong></span></h3>
<p>The Samsung AddWash front-loading washing machine offers consumers a whole new way to do their laundry, letting them stop a wash mid-cycle to add clothes or detergent. It’s perfect for that loose sock that falls out of the hamper on the way to the laundry room, or for delicate items you want to add later in the cycle.</p>
<p>Samsung wanted to give consumers a way to open the main door in the middle of a wash. Instead, the Design Team came up with the idea of adding a smaller second door they then dubbed the “kangaroo pouch.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-74472" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Addwash_product_705.jpg" alt="Addwash_product_705" width="705" height="471" /></p>
<p>“[We] gathered data on over 10,000 test subjects to evaluate how much energy was required to open the hidden door based on age, gender and health conditions,” says Ah-Hyun Bae, Senior Engineer, Digital Appliances Business, Samsung Electronics. “These experiments take a lot of time but they tell us so much about consumer psychology and behavior, and they were a big help in developing this special AddWash door.”</p>
<p>Just as the Holmes Team had confirmed with big data analysis, AddWash’s final ergonomic design reduces pressure to the consumer’s waist by 70 percent and lessens spinal strain by 40.8 percent when one uses the window instead of bending down to open the main door.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Considering Safety, Especially for Children</strong></span></h3>
<p>Another key issue Samsung wanted to focus on when applying AddWash technology was safety. To help determine the right design, the Holmes Team measured the amount of energy it would take for the average adult and child to open the AddWash door. Then, Samsung manufactured the door mechanism so that adults could easily open it while children could not.</p>
<p>The team also experimented with hundreds of shapes and sizes for the mid-level door, from round to rectangular to even fan-shaped. They needed to ensure that the door was the right shape and size so that socks and underwear could make it through, but that it would not be a safety concern for families with pets or children. It took the team months of hard work before they came up with just the right fit. The final design they decided on was a fan-shaped funnel that would allow for washable items to be easily throw-in, even without good aim.</p>
<p>The AddWash washing machine has added another dimension to the innovative experiences Samsung has created and shared with customers around the world. Though it may have started as a simple idea, numerous teams, including the Holmes Team, invested their time and passion to perfect it; and they are still doing so.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><strong>At CES 2015, Samsung’s Laundry and Floor Care Lineup  </strong><strong>Handles Household Messes with Ease</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em>America’s fastest growing home appliance brand</em><em> brings innovation and performance </em><em><br />
</em><em>to solve unmet home care needs </em></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Samsung Electronics, a global home appliance innovator, today announced new additions to its home appliance laundry and floor care lineup. Designed to elevate the everyday home experience for consumers, the products conveniently and easily tackle household messes. Featuring outstanding performance, smart design and sleek functionality, Samsung will display its latest innovations – including a new one-stop laundry solution and the brand’s evolutionary robot vacuum – at the 2015 International CES from Jan. 6-9, 2015.</p>
<p>“With today’s multi-tasking families busier than ever, we consistently hear from consumers that they need easy and convenient ways to tackle everyday messes – like prewashing fabrics, treating stains and picking up household dirt. They are looking for home appliances with clever solutions that help them take care of their home efficiently so they have time to pursue the things they really want to do,” said John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America. “Our lineup of innovative and stylish laundry and vacuum products deliver on this consumer need. Samsung appliances are the ideal combination of simplicity, performance, technology and innovation.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A Groundbreaking Laundry Innovation</strong></span></h3>
<p>Research shows that when it comes to laundry, the most tedious task is pre-treatment and pre-wash. Most homes don’t have a sink in their laundry rooms, requiring consumers to pretreat/pre-wash elsewhere and bring the items to the machine. The latest top load washer from Samsung solves this with a simple yet revolutionary feature – activewash<sup>TM</sup>. The top of the activewash<sup>TM</sup> washing machine includes a built-in sink with water jet and gentle scrubbing surface. This convenient sink provides a separate space to pre-treat tough stains, like heavily soiled sports uniforms, or handwash items like delicate sweaters. Once finished, the laundry and water can easily be poured into the machine. This all-in-one solution allows consumers to handle the entire wash process in the laundry unit instead of having to spread it out over multiple locations, avoiding mess and saving a considerable amount of effort.</p>
<p>[new_royalslider id=”211″]</p>
<p>The activewash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> laundry machine also accelerates the wash process with its SuperSpeed technology. With it, consumers can wash a normal load of laundry in as little as 36 minutes activewash<sup>TM</sup> is the first Samsung top loader to feature this time-saving technology.</p>
<p>Starting in Spring 2015, activewash<sup>TM</sup> will be available in white (5.2 cu. ft. and 4.8 cu. ft.) and platinum (5.2 cu. ft.) and features a rear panel with a dual-cluster design and easy-to-access control buttons, which are fully protected from water splashes.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A New Era in Robot Vacuums</strong></span></h3>
<p>For years, robot vacuums have promised to transform cleaning but the reality has not lived up to the potential as traditional robot vacuums do not perform as well on carpets as they do on hard floors. That’s about to change with the new Samsung POWERbot VR9000. This powerful robot vacuum features an array of advanced technologies and features to do the heavy lifting for today’s busy households, from hardwood to carpet.</p>
<p>Its cleaning prowess is unprecedented in a robot vacuum. The Digital Inverter Motor features a level of suction up to 60 times more powerful than conventional robot vacuums for removal of dirt and other debris on carpets like no robot before it.  Hard wood and laminate surfaces are a breeze for the VR9000 and an extra-wide rectangular brush bar four inches wider than conventional robot vacuums eliminates the need for side brushes while covering more ground in a single pass.  CycloneForce technology creates a centrifugal force that routes particles into a separate inner chamber, minimizing clogging in order to maintain its powerful suction.</p>
<p>The POWERbot VR9000 also features unique innovation that provides maximum maneuverability. Unlike many other robots, the Height Performance FullView Sensor<sup>TM</sup> detects even small obstacles across a wide area with minimal blind spots. With high performance chips, sensors and an onboard digital camera, the Visionary Mapping<sup>TM</sup> Plus System creates a complete map of the home to calculate the most efficient cleaning path, avoiding road blocks like a set of steps or a child’s toy.  Easy Pass<sup>TM</sup> Wheels allow the vacuum to move around the home with ease and control. Point Cleaning Technology allows you to direct the vacuum with a simple click of a remote control.</p>
<p>Once cleaning is complete, or the battery is low, the POWERbot VR9000 will guide itself back to the docking station for recharging.</p>
<p>The Samsung POWERbot VR9000 Airborne Copper color blends twinkling gold and chic black, and will be available in Spring 2015.</p>
