With smart laundry, you can remotely control your machine and delay starting the cycle so that your clothes are freshly clean and dry when you get home. There really is nothing quite like warm and fresh clothes straight out of the dryer!

Cut Wash Time in Half with FlexWash

Think your laundry room is too small to fit two washers?

That's probably true, but you can get the benefit of two washers in one unit when you have a smart wash laundry machine. FlexWash is a high-tech option that gives you more choice in how you want to do laundry, thanks to a versatile system with multiple capacity options.

For example, the Samsung FlexWash™ Steam Washer is a front-load washer with 5.8 cubic feet of capacity in the main washer. But since it's also equipped with FlexWash, you have the option of adding another 1.1 cubic feet to wash two types of laundry at the same time.

The accompanying dryer to this particular washer also offers two dryers in one unit. Pretty sweet, right?

Having two dryers in one gives you 7.5 total cubic feet of capacity so you can dry delicate and everyday garments at the same time. It's a convenient time-saving measure that you will come to depend on week after week once you add a high-tech laundry pair to your life!
