...unveils new high-tech home appliances

MANILA, Philippines - While most homeowners attribute a well-run household to their hardworking staff, even the most efficient kusinera, labandera and yaya have modern appliances to thank for making their jobs a whole lot easier to handle.

Understanding every family’s need to save time, money and energy in today’s fast-paced and budget-conscious world, global electronics leader Samsung unveiled at Rockwell Tent in Makati City recently three cutting-edge home appliances: a French-door refrigerator (RF62NERS), a front-load washer and dryer (WD8754), and a microwave oven (AMW83E-SB).

Ultra-sleek and stylish, these modern kitchen must-haves were designed to do the job and then some, thanks to a host of multi-functions and state-of-the-art advancements.

The stainless steel Samsung French-door refrigerator boasts a Twin Cooling System that offers optimal humidity level, no mixing of odors, and consistent temperature of the fridge and cooling compartments.

It also operates with No-Frost Technology, sparing users from the tedious chore of defrosting. The fridge has a one-body shelf that makes it easy to store and draw food, compared to the traditional 33-inch models which come with two separate shelves.

While slim, the Samsung French-door refrigerators are also very spacious. There are adjustable and easy-to-remove bins, a big box drawer at the freezer compartment, and a movable fresh box for jam, cheese and bacon.

Hidden hinges, simple controls, beautifully contoured surfaces and a sophisticated external blue digital display round up the features of this ruggedly designed appliance.

With a user-friendly, one-touch digital control panel and a simple yet elegant design, the Samsung microwave oven (AMW83E-SB) comes with a Triple Distribution System, ensuring equal amounts of heat from three microwave distribution points.

A Rapid Defrost function, meanwhile, brings frozen foods back to their fresh, pre-frozen state with a push of a button. Preparing meals can be quick, hot and delicious with this kitchen innovation, which also comes with a cookbook featuring dishes you can create with the microwave oven.

Anyone who’s ever had to wash his or her own clothes will appreciate the many functions of the Samsung front-load washer and dryer (WD8754). With a door widened to 480 mm, users get 20 percent more space for easy loading and unloading.

Meanwhile, a diamond-embossed drum bodes for excellent fabric care, thereby keeping your clothes looking new even after many washings.

Taking laundry to a whole new level, the Samsung front-load washer and dryer also effectively removes bacteria from the clothes’ fabric for up to a month through countless microscopic ions in its Silver Wash technology.

The Air Refresh system, on the other hand, does what air-drying clothes can’t. It removes undesirable odors that cling to clothes, like sweat and smoke. A Quiet Drive Motor eliminates any noise associated with washers and dryers, making every laundry day a quiet and pleasant experience.

Samsung’s French-door refrigerator, front-load washer and dryer, and microwave oven are available at all major appliance stores.
