All about AddWash technology in Samsung washing machines + review of 3 models

Brand «Самсунг» never ceases to amaze consumers with useful innovations. One of the new features introduced by Korean developers in new models is reloading. We will find out how the Samsung Addwash washing machine differs from its predecessors, how they are good and what consumers who have managed to use it say about the innovation.

What is this function – Addwash?

Household appliances are constantly being improved. Manufacturers of washing machines, competing with each other, equip them with new features. Sometimes they are needed, sometimes not very much, and sometimes they are completely unclaimed – these are then called “bells and whistles”. Addwash is not one of these – this is one of the most long-awaited features, without which the use of SMA was not comfortable enough.

Why do we need SMA with the possibility of reloading?

After a survey conducted by Samsung Electronics specialists, it became clear that the lack of reloading irritates the owners of frontal CMAs most of all – many vertical washers already had this function. What is the point of the claim? In conventional SMAs with side loading, it is impossible to add laundry without stopping the program and without knocking down the settings.

It often happens that after starting the program, there are things in the house that were not put in the car. In frontal washers without reloading, you have to interrupt the process. Samsung developers have managed to create a technology thanks to which you can easily throw a T-shirt, T-shirt, sock or other little thing into the drum that did not get into the wash on time.

How do washers with reloading laundry work?

The system “Edvosh” allows you to add the drum at any time. The implementation of the plan was made possible thanks to the creation of a second door – it can be opened after starting the program. At the same time, water will not spill out of the apparatus, moreover, even a drop will not fall on the floor during reloading. This door is located in the upper part of the loading hatch, above the water level. If you see a washing machine with an additional door, you should know that this is a model with Adwash.

Edwash has a temperature limit – when using it, the temperature should not exceed 50 ° C.

The order of reloading during washing:

  • Click on “Pause”.
  • Wait for the device to stop.
  • Open an additional door and put forgotten socks, scarves, T-shirts and more. Of course, the total weight should not exceed the maximum allowable.

Before reporting underwear, it is worth evaluating the rationality of the action. If the cycle is coming to an end, it doesn’t make much sense to add heavily soiled items. But for things that need only a little refreshment, even a small wash will be enough – and you won’t have to run CMA again.

It is estimated that 100% of users use the optional door. At the same time, 70% open it to add forgotten things, 44% – to add conditioner, 50% – to throw laundry at the rinse stage.

To find out at what stage the process is – whether it makes sense to report things, just look at the display and find out how much time is left until the end of the cycle. Moreover, a person can read the same information from his smartphone.

Additional features of AddWash

How else can you use the download from Samsung:

  • Rinse and spin. AddWash is useful not only for those who, having launched the washer, find things that need washing. This feature will be useful for fans of hand washing – you can throw a washed little thing into the machine, which you just need to rinse and wring out.
  • Adding conditioner. The Addwash function allows you to add not only dirty clothes, but also detergent and conditioner.

What other features are there in Samsung AdWash models?

SMA with “Advosh” have all the functions that are characteristic of modern SMA. They are equipped with everything that makes washing comfortable and safe:

  • Timer for delayed start.
  • Monitoring the consumption of resources – electricity and water.
  • Blocking the panel from accidental clicks.
  • smart control. Thanks to the remote control and Wi-Fi connection of the CMA, the user controls the process from afar. This function allows you to select washing parameters, turn the machine on and off, set the desired program, and control the process. You can use this function thousands of kilometers from the SMA – only the Internet is needed for control.
  • Leak protection system.
  • Surge protection and many other options.
  • EcoBubble. Water is mixed with detergent, turns into foam, saturated with oxygen – it is able to penetrate deep into the fibers, washing things with high quality.
  • Inverter motor and vibration protection. All “Samsungs” with additional loading are equipped with inverter motors, which are distinguished by an increased resource – the manufacturer gives a 10-year warranty.
  • VRTplus. This technology reduces vibrations. Sensors monitor the position of the linen. When it clumps, the control center stops the drum and makes it rotate in the opposite direction – things are evenly distributed.

Approximately 30% of the people who left reviews of this machine noted an additional load. But those who did it speak enthusiastically about her.

If there is a child in the house, this machine will become a great helper, at any time you can throw a forgotten sock or a freshly soiled bib into the drum.

This small washing machine is not the best in the Samsung series, this brand has options that are better, more interesting, more effective. But even it caused a lot of positive emotions among users. The “space design” CMA is reliable, practical, compact and inexpensive.

In general, consumers draw conclusions – the characteristics are amazing, I would like a more perfect performance. They can be advised the previous model – it costs the same and does not have drying. Here her work does not cause questions from consumers.

Users noted the benefits of reloading. But there is also an alternative view. The user, comparing the work of Samsung and LG with similar options, makes a choice in favor of the latest CMA. The door at Samsung is “flimsy,” the consumer claims, and it is very easy to break it. LG’s solution seems to him more perfect – just press a button, unlock the door and throw in the laundry. This is possible due to the lower level of the water inlet – you can safely open the washer without fear of overflow.

What other brands have reloads?

Samsung is the only manufacturer to provide an additional door on the sunroof. The possibility to reload laundry is provided by washing machines LG, Bosch и Hansa. For this purpose, they have an electromagnetic lock. The “start” button is combined with a pause – by pressing it, the user waits for a signal that allows the door to be opened.

Conclusions

Summing up:

  • Consumers confirm the importance of the option invented by Korean engineers – very often objects are found that they would like to add to the drum. With the new Samsungs, this is becoming a reality.
  • The AdWash function is so good that it’s just stupid to buy a washer without it. The additional door does not particularly affect the cost of the SMA, but there are a lot of benefits.
  • From the reviews, it becomes clear that the maximum that users appreciated in the new option was the ability to throw forgotten things after them. They either did not take advantage of the other benefits of reloading, or did not consider it necessary to mention it. But in vain – it is very convenient to stop the washer at the signal of a smartphone and send things to rinse.
  • Users who have encountered Adwash for the first time are delighted, those who have the opportunity to compare Addwash with the solution in LG machines are not so unambiguous. Both Korean brands are decent players, so it’s hard to give someone the top spot for tackling the “forgotten socks” problem.

Reloading laundry is an extremely useful feature, without which the use of the washing machine loses a lot. If you are interested in the opportunities that have opened up, you can choose Samsung Addwash with any load – from 6,5 to 12 kg.
