Smart washing machines have turned laundry experiences from tedious to convenient. If you are on the lookout for a smart washer, here are some of the most useful features that would make for a good investment and addition to your new condo at Penrith.
Track energy use
Smart washing machines can monitor your energy use and send details to your smartphone. You can use this data to effectively manage energy use at home and try alternative ways you could use your smart washing machine to save money, such as switching programs and minimizing load sizes.
Service alerts
You can be ahead of maintenance for your smart washing machine with notifications on routine care and service alerts. These washing machines are paired with an app that could let you detect errors and potential issues that the washer may have, so you can reference the manual on how to fix a particular error code, and get it serviced early on before it breaks down and repair costs rack up.
Control cycles remotely
Apps like LG ThinQ, Samsung SmartThings, and Whirlpool let you control your washer/dryer remotely, like stopping, pausing and resuming your wash, using advanced features during cycles, and monitoring the status. It also shows the current mode of the cycle, water temperature, and gives an estimate of when the cycle will be done. You can schedule your laundry so that your clothes are clean and ready right when you need them.
Automatic programs
If your smart washing machine is compatible, you will be surveyed on things like how dirty your clothes are, the type of fabric of your clothes, load size, and more. When this is done, the washer will adjust the detergent dosing, spin speed, temperature, and wash time of your load accordingly, tailored to your needs and preferences.
