    Smart-connected washing machines

     

    Need a helping hand on laundry day? A smart-connected washing machine will definitely lighten the load. They can be connected to a Wi-Fi network and controlled from an app on your phone or tablet. You'll find this nifty feature on machines from all your favourite brands, including Candy, Hoover, Samsung, Miele and more. Our handy guide will take you through what a smart washing machine is, and all the benefits of having one.

    Benefits

    Become a laundry pro

    Some smart machines give you the option to download new cycles onto your machine, so if you need a programme specifically for outdoor wear, you can add it to the existing settings.

    Never wait in for laundry

    Need the kids’ football kit ready by the time you get back from work? Some models let you use the app to get the wash started. Or, if you don’t want your clothes soaking in the drum while you’re away, you can pause the program, so you’ll be back in time to pop them on the washing line. Smart machines make life that little bit easier.

    Ultimate convenience

    If you have smart speakers, why not ask Alexa or Siri to start a wash?* It’s perfect if you've just jumped into bed and forgot to hit 'go' on the machine. You can get the laundry done overnight and have fresh clothes for the morning without even needing to get up.

    *Requires compatibility with smart speakers

    Self-diagnose issues

    If your machine has an error code, some smart models can diagnose the problem for you. Once you’ve downloaded the dedicated Wi-Fi app on your phone, it’ll give you solutions to fix the error, saving you having to call out an engineer.
