In 2008, Samsung revolutionized cleaning with the launch of the Ecobubble washing machine, the first washing machine to use bubble technology to ensure powerful cleaning. This innovation was followed by the Activ Dualwash technology in 2014, which enhanced convenience for consumers with its unique wobble technology and built-in sink, making pre-treatment of clothes easier than ever.
Continuing its tradition of innovation, Samsung introduced the FlexWashтДв washing machine in 2017, offering unprecedented flexibility with dual washers, designed to cater to diverse laundry needs. By 2021, Samsung had set a new benchmark in smart laundry solutions with the launch of IndiaтАЩs first AI-enabled Ecobubble washing machine, integrating advanced AI technology to redefine the laundry experience for Indian households.
Samsung has always been at the forefront of innovations and in its journey to make a difference, it is ready to unveil the next era of laundry care with its latest washing machine expected to launch at the end of this month.
