Also Priyanka's dynamism combined with our brand expertise will help us present our products in different, innovative ways to consumers."
Samsung has introduced its revolutionary 'Eco Storm' technology in its 7.0 kg and above Top Loading Washing Machines for better wash performance and less water spending. The 'Inner Care Storm' feature generates a powerful multi-directive water wave for better washing performance and less tangling while the Outer Power Storm creates stronger water flow to effectively scrub off dirt, greasy stains and detergent residue in the fabric. The Eco Storm's powerful center Twist Pulsator rotates in opposite directions to make hand rubbed effect. The two pulsators wash the clothes perfectly and thoroughly, so one doesn't have to rinse the laundry repeatedly, saving 28% of water.
Affordable innovation is what Samsung 6.2 and 6.5 kg top loading washing machines deliver. Whether it is the Double Storm Pulsator, Air Turbo Drying Systemâ„¢, or 5-Step Super Clean System feature, you can be guaranteed that your clothes will be in for a treat. Samsung's Double Storm Pulsator uses dual jets of water to create multi-dimensional water currents to achieve a deeper clean with less damage to the fabric without unnecessary tangling of clothes. In addition, the newly added Memory function will memorize the functions you use most often and recall these settings at a simple push of a button.
The unique Aqua Preserve feature and Air Turbo Drying Systemâ„¢ further add tremendous functionality to Samsung's Top Loading Washing Machines. Aqua Preserve reduces waste of water by reusing the last rinsed out water before final spin-dry to save water and your money! (This function is only available to use when you select twice of rinsing). The Samsung Top Loading Washing Machines come with a 5-step super clean system. This allows you to automatically deep soak, soak, dissolve stains, separate dirts and deep cleanse the laundry loads with just a few button pushes.
Samsung's entire new Top Loading Washing Machines incorporate the advanced Diamond Drum technology, which Samsung developed to create the ideal environment for a deep, yet gentle wash. By embedding hundreds of tiny water exit holes (20% smaller than those found in the average conventional drum) within the diamond shaped depressions which collect water, the Diamond Drum effectively minimizes the risk of clothes getting caught and damaged without compromising on performance. In addition, these new washing machines feature Samsung's Magic Filter, which ensures more efficient collection of lint, especially when the water level is low. The Magic Filter also includes an electronic indicator so you'll know when your filter needs cleaning.
And that's not all; Aesthetic form factor meets technology in the new Samsung Top Loading Washing Machines. It's specially colored two tone top design, highly durable scratch-free tempered glass window give the machines a subtle yet elegant appeal. Moreover its strong legs provide the dual advantage of support and reducing vibration and noise. This stunning new look serves as the perfect complement to the stylish interiors of the modern Indian home while its wash experience is designed to delight.
