My beautiful laundrette

The reviewer has been compensated for this post.washdryWouldn’t it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for 10 minutes and come out wrinkle free?

10 months ago we bought a house

We went from a new McMansion to a smaller home that was built for outdoor entertaining. Living in Florida, that is the lifestyle that I wanted, and I was willing to give up NEW for a 1994 charmer. BUT, it also came with 1994 appliances.

Bye bye 1994!!

All of the appliances had to go

I am systematically going through the house and updating.

Hello 2016

This month – the WASHER/DRYER

I may have scaled down our home, but I need upscale appliances. Luckily, Best Buy carries all of the top of the line Samsung appliances, including Samsung’s AddWash Laundry Pair in our newly remodeled laundry room.

It may only be two of us

But, Ben and Allyson come over on the weekends, and with four of us using the pool, and guests coming in and out, there always seems to be towels….lots and lots of those big pool towels. The gorgeous black stainless Samsung’s can handle even the BIGGEST pool party at the new mansion.

Delivery

I have to give a MAJOR shout out to the team who delivered and installed my new washer and dryer (and removed my old ones). They were professional, asked me how I wanted them set up, and let me know that if I wanted them to remove my old set, that they would be going to charity.

The Technology

The technology of cleaning has advanced incredibly in the past 22 years. It was like going from BASIC to Windows 10  in one day. Both the washer & dryer offer the opportunity to make it Smart Home friendly. Download the app and you can do your laundry right from your mobile phone on the go. Thank goodness there’s a “NORMAL” cycle, because I needed a day to take in the 14 wash cycles and 12 dryer ones.

AddWash

Wondering why it’s called that? Look closely at the washer door and you’ll see a mini-door in the center. It’s for when Mr. S asks me when I’m doing laundry because he spilled coffee, spaghetti sauce, wine on his shirt, and I have a load that I’d already started. I simply pause the cycle and push the door…and VOILA I add that dirty shirt without having to wait until the NEXT time I do laundry.

Soap, Bleach & Softener, oh my

The dispenser on my new Samsung AddWash make adding just the right amount easy. The dispensers pull out for easy filling.

Fave Features

If I had to pick just one on each it would be the eco-cold cycle. I love saving money, and using water from the tap at it’s natural temperature means that I’m not paying to heat the water unless I need it. I love the steam cycle feature of the dryer, because I’m one of those who’ll leave laundry in the dryer all day…with the steam cycle I can put it on and POOF when I remove my clothes all of the wrinkles are history.
