Samsung’s New Hygienic Steam Washing Machines Can Sanitise Clothes

The 9.5kg Steam BubbleWash Front Load Washer (RRP $1,369) and the 9.5kg AddWash Steam Front Load Washer (RRP $1,469) also add a range of new washing modes.

For instance, BubbleWash mode mixes detergent with air and water from the beginning of the cycle to deliver a cleaner wash.

Quick Wash, meanwhile, allows you to wash up to 2kg of laundry in just 15 minutes.

In total, both models offer 14 different cycle types. The AddWash Steam Front Load Washer also allows you to add forgotten pieces of clothing or fabric softener after your wash cycle has started. You can even add hand-washed clothes that you want to rinse or spin dry at later stages.

These two washing machines are equipped with the Smart Check Easy troubleshooting system, which can diagnose issues with your machine and walk you through easy solutions via the app, cutting down on unnecessary engineer callouts. Another convenient feature is Drum Clean, which sanitises the inside of the washing machine drum.
