AUCKLAND, New Zealand – September 1, 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled the A-40% Washing Machine and the EHS Mono R290 heat pump at IFA 2023 in Berlin, Germany, one of the world’s largest consumer electronics and trade appliances trade show. The release of the A-40% Washing Machine demonstrates Samsung’s efforts to promote an energy-efficient and eco-conscious lifestyle.
As more and more consumers are considering the environmental impact of the products they use, they are factoring these considerations into their appliance purchasing decisions. Through the release of the A-40% Washing Machine, Samsung is helping to meet the needs of environmentally conscious consumers.
“These models are a technological achievement, especially in terms of the smart features and the energy efficiency they offer,” said Junhwa Lee, EVP and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics.
A-40% Washing Machine: for Extra Energy Efficiency
Samsung's new washing machine range for next year will include models¹ with up to 40% less energy consumption than needed to reach the A energy efficiency class limit². Their advanced technologies intelligently optimise the washing performance and reduce the energy use while providing 10kg loading capacity and Bespoke design. The A-40% Washing Machine will be available in European markets starting in the first quarter of 2024.
The washer will provide SmartThings connectivity that can reduce energy use through AI Energy Mode³ in SmartThings Energy. It lets users easily check daily, weekly, and monthly power consumption and estimates monthly electricity bills. For courses that can operate in AI Energy Mode⁴, the washer intelligently reduces the energy usage by up to 70%⁵ using Bubblewash™ to wash with cool water instead of warm and extra cycle time.
The A-40% Washing Machine comes with AI Wash, which consists of advanced sensing capabilities of the laundry to enhance washing performance and minimise waste. It effectively controls the amount of water and detergent by detecting the weight, softness of the fabric and the level of soiling. It accomplishes this by intelligently optimising the amount of water and detergent and continually adjusting the soaking, rinsing and spinning times to achieve the best results quickly and efficiently.
Furthermore, the Super Speed cycle allows users to thoroughly wash their clothes while significantly cutting down on cycle time. This cycle ends in 39 minutes without any compromise to performance. This is accomplished through embedded Speed Spray, which speeds up washing and rinsing by shooting powerful jets of water to quickly reach clothes.
Another feature that may reduce energy consumption is AI Energy Mode. By learning a user’s usage patterns, it adjusts Domestic Hot Water (DHW) temperature and provides the user with the same level of heat without using as much energy⁶.
