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 technology is just the latest in a line of differentiated laundry innovations, including the activewash Top Load Washer, AddWash Front Load Washer and FlexWash + FlexDry laundry pair.

“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 technology underscores our commitment to providing consumers with options for tackling their laundry needs to free up time for what really matters.”

The WW6850N washer’s innovative performance starts with QuickDrive 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 machines¹. 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.

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:

• Laundry Recipe provides automatic recommendations for optimal wash cycles based on the color, fabric type, and degree of soiling inputted by the user.
• Laundry Planner allows consumers to manage the time that a wash cycle will finish, adjusting cycle settings accordingly.
• HomeCare Wizard monitors the washer to keep it operating at optimal performance and provides easy-to-follow maintenance instructions

A 2018 CES Innovations Award honoree, the WW6850N washing machine with QuickDrive technology will be available in the U.S. this year.

Samsung India today introduced its revolutionary FlexWash^TM, a washer-dryer combination that effectively integrates two washers and a dryer into one high performance appliance. The latest offering is a perfect blend of state of art technology, utility and aesthetics.

Equipped with a range of core Samsung laundry technologies and features that includes the popular AddDoor, FlexWash^TM is designed to offer users freedom and flexibility to customize their laundry routines, while providing a higher level of care for clothes to make them last longer.

An all-in-one solution for busy people striving to wash clothes in minimal time, the washing machine is available in 23 kg capacity to handle an optimal load. The multi-purpose solution uses three core Samsung laundry technologies – EcoBubble^TM, Bubble Soak, and Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT Plus^TM). EcoBubble^TM uses air and water to dissolve detergent, creating a powerful bubble action for cleaning that is much faster and more effective.

The units are IoT-enabled and integrated with Smart Control, allowing users to operate and monitor the machine anytime, anywhere via their smartphones, letting them start and stop every cycle from the palm of their hand. The striking combination of ergonomics and convenience promises Indian consumers the added advantage of saving time. IoT devices are the future and Samsung, as a harbinger of innovation in technology, is ready to adopt this across its product portfolio.

“Samsung has always been at the forefront of innovation that aims at creating products that cater to the evolving needs of our consumers. With the launch of FlexWash, we aim at making laundry even more flexible and convenient. Every feature in our latest innovation was designed with the consumer in mind,” said Rishi Suri, Director, Consumer Electronics, Samsung India.

“We have witnessed a paradigm shift in the consumer behavior and innovative technologies like active DualWash^TM and AddWash^TM have received great response from users enabling us to consolidate our leadership in the segment,” he added.
