It’s that day again — laundry day. Running laundry can consume a lot of water and electricity, so how can you save energy when washing your clothes?
With an energy-efficient washing machine, of course.
What makes a washing machine energy efficient?
Energy efficiency is about reducing energy consumption, from water temperature to the amount of water used per load. Most electricity consumed by a washing machine is used to heat up water, so machines that consume less energy by washing laundry at cooler temperatures are considered energy efficient. Not only that, but many have a sensor system to detect the size of the load and adjust the amount of water needed, which conserves both water and electricity — as using less water means there’s less water being heated. It’s important to look for these kinds of features when you’re searching for the perfect energy saver, because this is how you can save energy when washing your clothes.

What makes Samsung washing machines energy efficient?
SmartThings™
With the SmartThings™ app, you can monitor and reduce your washer’s energy use. AI Energy mode1 allows you to check your power consumption and estimates your electricity bill. For courses that operate in AI Energy mode2 it reduces energy use by up to 70%3 using Ecobubble™ to wash using cool water instead of warm and extra cycle time.
AI EcoBubble™
AI Ecobubble™ technology makes laundry less of a chore. Mixing air, water and detergent, it cleverly creates bubbles that remove 24%4 more soil even at low temperatures, saving up to 70% energy4— helping you bring down your energy bills, because washing clothes in cold water saves energy.
AI Wash
Wash clothes thoroughly5, but gently with less water and detergent6. AI Wash Cycle uses advanced sensing to detect the weight and softness of the fabric and continually monitor the level of soiling. It then intelligently optimises the water and detergent and the soaking, rinsing and spinning times so you can save energy and water.
Less Microfiber
Looking for a microfiber filter for your washing machine? Samsung, Ocean Wise Plastics Lab and Patagonia are together finding solutions to the microfiber shedding problem. Samsung’s specially designed laundry cycle reduces up to 54%7 of the microfleece release. This is just the first step toward healthier oceans.
