Investing in a new washing machine? This isn’t a purchase you should take lightly, so we are here with some expert advice to help you make this decision. Whether you are a single household or a family of six, a hi-tech washing machine shouldn’t go amiss.

If you’ve been toying with splurging on a Samsung washing machine, here are five reasons we really think this is a smart purchase. Not just because it will look nice in your home...
1. Samsung washing machines are smart so you can put a wash on via your phone*
Not only is this convenient, but it will save you putting on wash loads and forgetting about them, too – something we are all guilty of doing. The Samsung SmartThings* app can control your machine from afar so you can turn it on when at the supermarket, doing the school run or sitting in the office, so it’s ready to be taken out when you get home. Your washing machine can send notifications to your phone once it’s finished, or if there is an issue, while you can also use the app to temporarily remove programs you won’t use to make it easier to navigate. Essentially, this washing machine fits around your lifestyle.
2. Samsung washing machines are very energy efficient, so as to save you money on bills
Every Samsung 9kg washing machine from the QuickDrive™, AddWash™ and Auto Dose ranges has an A grade energy efficiency. Ecobubble™, Samsung’s innovative technology, lets you wash your clothes at lower temperatures without compromising on wash performance. Samsung are also proactively looking to reduce their carbon footprint, find out how here.

4. Samsung washing machines are flooded with features – from AddWash™ to Auto Dose and Super Speed Wash
