How Samsung washing machines make every drop of detergent count
Laundry has always been about detergent and water. But what if the secret to cleaner clothes wasn't just about what you use — but how you use it? With the OMO Wash Days campaign, Samsung is shining a spotlight on the hidden power of its intelligent washing machines, showing how features like EcoBubble, AI Wash, and Auto Dispense are transforming the humble laundry cycle into a smarter, more sustainable routine. Rethinking detergent performance Too often, detergent is not optimally used, leading to ineffective cleaning, and sometimes, clothing fabric damage. Samsung's technology reimagines how detergent works by maximising its potential through engineering precision and smart automation. EcoBubble: Cool water cleaning that works Samsung's EcoBubble technology pre-mixes detergent with air and water to create a soapy foam before the wash even begins. These bubbles penetrate fabrics faster and more evenly, activating the cleaning agents at lower temperatures. Why it matters: Enables effective soil removal in cool water, thus reducing energy usage. Prevents shrinkage and colour fading in delicate items. Ensures detergent is fully activated and absorbed. AI Wash: Intelligent cycles that think for you AI Wash uses four smart sensors to detect load weight, fabric type, soil levels, and water clarity, then automatically adjusts water, detergent, and cycle duration in real time. User benefits: Convenience and intelligent cycles that think for you. Washes tailored to the exact condition of each load. Takes care of your clothes and washes them thoroughly and gently. This is laundry care that adapts to your lifestyle — and to every sock, shirt, or school uniform you throw in the drum. Auto Dispense: fill once, many washes Measuring cups are a thing of the past. Samsung's Auto Dispense feature holds detergent and softener in dedicated compartments, then automatically dispenses the perfect amount for each load. Why it works: Helps to eliminate detergent waste. Reduces the chance of detergent residue on clothing. Can run for multiple loads without needing a refill — ideal for busy homes. SmartThings AI Energy mode You can monitor and reduce your energy usage with AI Energy mode, which lets you easily check the power consumption and estimates your electricity bill. For certain cycles, it reduces energy use by over 19% with the same performance, by reducing the use of a heater and increasing the cycle time. Flex Auto Dispense System Get great washing results with less effort, thanks to the Flex Auto Dispense System. It automatically dispenses the optimal amount of detergent and softener for each load, based on the cycle and load size. The system is compatible with a variety of detergents and softeners and can store enough for up to 25 loads — or up to 47 loads when using detergent only in the Flex Dispense7 compartment. The OMO Wash Days campaign aligns with Samsung's broader commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and intelligent living. Together with trusted, low-suds eco-detergents like OMO, Samsung's washing machines make detergent work smarter to reduce waste and simplify daily life. Whether you're a parent, a professional, or you don't want to continue wasting water and detergent, Samsung's smart laundry innovations ensure that every drop of detergent delivers maximum impact — with less effort, less waste, and better results.

AI in everyday appliances: How fridges, ACs, and washers are getting smarter
Appliances in Indian homes are no longer just silent workhorses. In 2025, AI is reshaping how we interact with everyday essentials. From the fridge to the washing machine. The shift from traditional to intelligent appliances is making home life more personalized, efficient, and surprisingly hands-off. What used to require effort and guesswork now happens almost instinctively. Thanks to sensors, automation, and learning algorithms built right into the machines we already use. AI-powered refrigerators from brands like Panasonic and Haier are now doing more than keeping things cold. Using intelligent sensors, these fridges track when the door opens, what the ambient room temperature is, and how light levels change throughout the day. Based on this data, they adjust compressor speed and cooling patterns to keep food fresh while minimizing power usage. Features like AG clean technology help reduce bacteria and odours, while modular storage lets you set different temperatures for vegetables, dairy, and meats. Add to that remote control via your phone, and your fridge isn't just reacting, it's thinking. The result? Lower energy bills, reduced food spoilage, and a fridge that adapts to your lifestyle. Take Haier's AI Climate Control ACs. They don't just cool your room, they learn how and when to do it. Over time, they recognize your preferred settings, analyze weather patterns, and adjust airflow to suit both. The AI Climate Assistant even monitors electricity usage, nudging you toward more efficient settings without compromising comfort. The AI ECO Mode takes things further by regulating power usage automatically. In the long run, this means consistent comfort, fewer tweaks, and noticeable energy savings, especially important in India's power-hungry summers. Samsung's AI Wash is turning laundry into a set-it-and-forget-it task. It senses load size, fabric type, and soil levels to automatically pick the right wash cycle. Integrated with the SmartThings app, the machine lets you control everything remotely, from starting a cycle to monitoring energy use. Voice commands and bilingual interfaces make it even more accessible for Indian users across regions. The end result? Cleaner clothes, gentler fabric care, and savings on water and electricity, without hovering near the machine. AI appliances are no longer niche products. With demand rising for smarter, low-effort living, brands like Samsung, Haier, and Panasonic are localizing AI features specifically for Indian homes. As digital awareness grows, more households are choosing appliances that do more with less input, and pay off in long-term savings. From cooling to cleaning, AI is redefining household routines. As this technology becomes more intuitive and affordable, intelligent appliances won't just be upgrades—they'll be the new normal in Indian homes.
