TECHNOLOGY » Make Your Home Smarter: Samsung SmartHome WiFi Washer at CES 2012
Ever stressed about getting home to finish your laundry? Well now, getting home is an unessential part of the equation. Unveiled at CES, the Samsung WF457 Washer and Dryer are WiFi-enabled meaning you can access it via the internet on your tablet or smartphone. From the built-in 8-inch touchscreen or through a mobile application, you can choose the cycle, duration and even set-up notifications to let your mobile device no when the chore is done. The WF457 washer and matching dryer will be available in onyx and white at major retailers in Spring 2012.
Other features of the WF457 include:
- The industry’s largest capacity – large enough to fit 31 bath towels
- Seven Specialty Cycles to take the guesswork out of laundry and provide the best washing performance and stain treatment for specific every day occasions. And unlike most stain treatment cycles that only remove a specific stain, Specialty Cycles treat all potential stains and dirt for the best cleaning results
- Eco Seal to prevent the build-up of residue around the washer door
- Samsung’s exclusive PowerFoam™ Technology, which infuses detergent with air and water to create a powerful cleaning foam that penetrates fabrics quicker
- Steam cycles in both the washer and matching dryer for enhanced stain removal, wrinkle reduction and fabric refreshing
- Stainless Steel Diamond Drum design that reduces wear and tear on delicate fabrics
- VRT Vibration Reduction Technology Plus™ which makes the washer so quiet, it can be installed on second floors and near bedrooms, even at 1300 revolutions per minute
- Smart Vent Sensing in the DV457 dryer that indicates blockages in vents and notifies consumers when it’s time to clean them, helping with overall appliance performance and reducing potential fire hazards
