Make storytime count

Give bedtime routines with the kids your full focus, no matter how busy the day is.

Homes have become a chaotic centre of activity, and keeping on top of household chores has become a balancing act. But it shouldn’t get in the way of important family time. Let your QuickDrive Washing Machine and SmartThings app helps you keep everything under control so you can make bedtime routines with the kids a priority. Your devices will work in the background while you tuck your little ones into bed.

Keep notifications silent

Quality time with the kids means doing away with distractions. Automate your washing with the SmartThings app and get silent
notifications from your QuickDrive Washing Machine on your Galaxy phone. That way, the laundry gets done and storytime goes on
without interruptions.

Easily sync your Samsung devices so you can spend more time on what matters. Live better connected.
