Dread Doing Your Laundry? These New Washing Machines Will Change Your Mind

Let’s be real: we all dread doing our laundry, don’t we? Waiting around for the washing cycle to end, guessing which programme will get your clothes clean without damaging them and trying to estimate how much detergent to use—none of that is any fun. Add the fact that most washing machines and dryers are downright unsightly and laundry becomes one of our least favourite household chores.

Imagine then our excitement at the launch of these new Samsung washers, which not only look extra sleek but also come with a host of features that take all that dreadful laundry work off our hands. The new Samsung QuickDrive washing machines are smart, efficient and fast, reducing your washing time by up to 50% with the Super Speed cycle and eliminating guesswork with features like AI Wash.

Do your laundry in style

With the new Samsung QuickDrive, there is no need to hide away your washing machine in the service yard like an eyesore. Instead, these sleek new machines have an improved design that you’ll be proud to display and that adapts seamlessly to contemporary homes, becoming one with your living space. The washers are available in a classic yet modern white design, as well as the super-modern Inox, a dark grey look to suit dusky and industrial-inspired interiors.

The digital control panel at the front of the washing machine is just as visually appealing and even simpler to use now. It comes with a new digitalised design and improved intelligence and practicality that makes bulky knobs and buttons redundant. It shows you everything you need to know at a glance, including timely washing updates and even troubleshooting guides, in either English or Chinese for extra convenience.

Smarter wash cycles, the easy way

While we love the new look of the QuickDrive washers, the machines’ highlight is without a doubt the new and improved Artificial Intelligence (AI), which acts as a smart laundry assistant and provides the washer with handy smart features such as AI Control, AI Wash and Auto Detergent Dispenser.

The AI Control feature is all about the digitalised control panel, which is not just sleek-looking and easy to use but also more intuitive than ever. Thanks to the washing machine’s AI, the control panel will pick up on your laundry habits over time, prioritising your most-used washing programmes up-front in the selection display. This saves you time when selecting your preferred washing cycle and settings, as the machine would have memorised them for you.

And speaking of AI, we can’t not mention the QuickDrive’s most exciting function: AI Wash.¹ If you’ve ever wondered which laundry cycle you should go for and how long the wash should last, this feature is a must-have for you. It uses four built-in sensors to detect the weight of the laundry and the amount of dirt on the fabric to then determine the correct amount of water and detergent for each load, resulting in wash cycles that are efficient and intelligent.

The Auto Detergent Dispenser function, on the other hand, ensures that you’ll never have to worry about using the right amount of detergent or forgetting to add softener to your wash cycle again. You can simply pour one month’s worth of detergent² and softener into the Auto Detergent Dispenser and the machine will automatically add the optimal amount to every wash. This takes the guesswork out of the laundry process and also saves you detergent in the long run, as many homeowners end up using too much detergent when doing their laundry.

Super Speed your laundry in 39 minutes

In a rush today? The QuickDrive washers have got your back. In fact, you can get your washing done in just 39 minutes³ with the Super Speed cycle. This cycle makes use of the revolutionary Q-Drum technology, which combines the main drum with a backplate that rotates independently, cleaning your clothes with a more dynamic dual movement for a faster wash cycle. This ultimately cuts down your washing time by up to 50%, reducing your energy consumption by up to 20% without compromising on the cleaning performance.⁴

The Super Speed setting also incorporates the QuickDrive’s EcoBubble function, which ensures powerful cleaning by thoroughly bubbling up the detergent, and Speed Spray, which shortens the rinsing time using additional water jets.

Clean clothes for extra hygiene

If you’re worried about how clean your clothes will really be, you’ll want to hear about the washer’s Hygiene Steam cycle. The Hygiene Steam feature gives clothes and other fabrics a deep, thorough clean using hygienic steam that can deeply penetrate the material to remove ingrained grime, tough stains and 99.9% of bacteria⁵ and allergens⁶ without causing any damage.

As the steam is released from the bottom of the drum, you can rest assured that every piece of fabric will be thoroughly saturated and efficiently cleaned.

But wait, there’s more

So, the Samsung QuickDrive washers are stylish, smart and fast—but they’ve got a few more tricks up their drums!

Say goodbye to worrying about choosing the right settings on your dryer once you’ve finished the wash cycle. The Samsung QuickDrive dryer can be linked to your washing machine with ease thanks to Auto Cycle Link⁷, allowing it to communicate your washing cycle to the dryer, which will then recommend the most appropriate drying cycle to match. Smooth as that!

Another bonus feature we love is the AddWash Door.⁸ It may just seem like a small door at the front of the washer, but it allows us to do something pretty special: add extra clothes or detergent during the cycle without having to drain the water and start all over again. You can also use this to add delicate clothes that you only want to rinse or spin towards the end of the cycle.

Of course, the washer’s Wi-Fi Smart Control⁹ comes in quite handy, too. Just connect the washing machine with the Samsung SmartThings app¹⁰ to start laundry cycles remotely, plan and schedule your next wash and check the helpful HomeCare Wizard for assistance.

All in all, the QuickDrive washers are not just pleasing to the eyes but also the solution to many of our laundry troubles, making household chores simpler and more enjoyable with a well-balanced blend of aesthetics and functionality.
