The Digital Inverter range is equipped with world’s first 8-pole motor, ensuring faster cooling performance of up to 43%. This range consumes lesser energy as compared to conventional air conditioners.

The entire New S-Inverter range will come with BEE ISEER rating.

For increased durability, the outdoor unit’s DuraFin™ is corrosion resistant as compared to conventional PFC. The large condenser unit and optimized refrigerant flow enable the refrigerator to endure extremely hot outdoor temperatures of up to 52°C.

Samsung air conditioner range comes with a new Voltage Protector feature. Best suited for India, these air conditioners with Voltage Protector can handle voltage fluctuations from 146V to 290V ensuring worry-free operation. In addition, they also improve the look of homes as there is no need to install an external stabilizer.

All 1.5T and bigger Samsung air conditioner models come with highly efficient twin BLDC (Brushless DC electric motor) that reduces variation by 40%, when compared to the conventional compressor. Twin BLDC compressor increases reliability, reduces noise and provides longer product life.

The smart convertible range also comes with features like Power Cooling Mode and Power Freeze Mode that help reach the target temperature in 31% shorter time. The twin cooling system avoids mixing of odours inside the compartment. Vegetables and fruits are stored at optimal humidity level by releasing moisture cyclically.

The digital inverter compressor optimizes usage by minimal wear-and-tear and extends the life of a refrigerator by over ten years. With low noise level, the smart direct cool refrigerator can withstand voltage fluctuations ranging from 100 volts to 300 volts. The new range of refrigerators comes with two new floral patterns: Rose Mallow and Magnolia. Star Flower and Tender Lily are the other shades available in the market.
