Kitchen & Bath Business - April 2019 - 82

What's Hot in
Laundry Products
1. The new SAMSUNG Front-Load Washer has been designed
to help make laundry more accessible for disabled and visually
impaired users with new audio UI and braille features. This is
the first time a non-commercial washing machine for the U.S.
market has incorporated braille into the control panel design.
The washer also includes IoT connectivity, so users can be
alerted when washing is done and can manage start and
finishing times remotely.
2. MIELE's new Classic W1 Washer and Classic T1 Dryer offer
high-quality performance for under $2,400 for the pair. Available
in April 2019, the W1 Washer includes a 2.26-cu.-ft. capacity
drum and EnergyStar qualifications, as well as a delayed start
and countdown indicator. The T1 Dryer boasts up to 60 percent
energy savings thanks to heat pump technology, a quiet
operation and at least 12 programs depending on the model.
3. ASKO's new Style Washer and Vented Dryer - available to
consumers in Q3 2019 - boast white exteriors, stainless-steel
controls and full-color digital displays. The Style Washer's
Auto-Dosing feature releases the precise amount of detergent
needed depending on the selected wash cycle, and the Pro
Wash system improves how water and detergent mix for better
cleaning and rinsing performance.
4. LG Styler is an in-home steam clothing care system.
Without the use of chemicals, its TrueSteam technology gently
refreshes clothing while reducing wrinkles and odors in as little
as 20 minutes. In each cycle, LG Styler can accommodate up
to three items, including a pair of pants. It also works well for
non-clothing items such as athletic gear, children's plush toys
and bedding.
5. The WHIRLPOOL Smart Front-Load Laundry Pair was
designed to provide an extra layer of reassurance that laundry
will be done right with features like the voice control with a
compatible voice-enabled device. Coming in 2019, users can
keep up with the progress of a load of laundry with simple voice
commands using the Google Assistant or an Amazon Alexaenabled smart device with Wi-Fi and the Whirlpool app.
6. The ELECTROLUX Front-Load Perfect Steam Dryer with
Predictive Dry and Instant Refresh knows after 90 seconds an
accurate time that clothes will be dried, and it can use steam to
remove wrinkles in just 10 minutes. An extended tumble option
is also available to gently tumble clothes without heat to keep
them tangle-free.
7. Projected to be available in late 2019, the FoldiMate Machine
from FOLDIMATE INC. neatly folds shirts, tops, blouses, pants
(for sizes six years old up to XXL) and even medium-sized
towels. The machine automatically adapts to the clothing type
and size, and folding a full load of laundry - around 25 items -
takes less than five minutes.

8. The MAYTAG Extra-Power Front-Load Washer features a
dual-temperature wash that fights stains that dissolve best in
hot or cold water in a single load. In addition, the 24-hr. Fresh
Hold option keeps clothes smelling fresh in the washer with an
internal fan after the wash cycle ends. When activated on the
heavy-duty cycle, the extra power button helps drive some of
the most powerful cleaning in the industry.
