Integrated but Flexible Sink for Easy Hand- and Pre-washing
The new WA4000HH’s Activ Wash+ showcases a transparent sink equipped with a dedicated water jet activated by an on/off button located at the right hand side that releases clean water directly into the sink for hand- and pre-washing purposes. The rubbing board pattern inside the sink enables easier hand- and pre-washing for heavily soiled clothes. The transparent sink is located between the door of the washer and the drum, allowing clothes to be easily and effortlessly moved into the drum afterward.
When hand- and pre-washing functions are not in use, the transparent sink can be lifted.
View and Open with Ease
To avoid loud noise when opening and closing, the lid has been designed to open and close smoothly. Featuring an extremely durable and scratch resistant tempered glass window, users can easily see the inside of the washer without having to lift the lid.
Intuitive Control
The control panel is located on the top of the back part of the washer to avoid potential water splashes when hand- or pre-washing clothes before a cycle. The location of the panel also makes it convenient to use and is easily visible to consumers. The panel’s dual cluster is designed to clearly indicate the diverse functions of the WA4000HH, making it easy and simple to use.
Wobble^TM Technology Linked with Diamond Drum
Samsung’s innovative Wobble^TM technology protects delicate fabrics from friction damage without compromising washing performance. The unique Wobble^TM pulsators generate multi-directional water flows that prevent tangles, twists and knots while performing an enhanced washing ability. Additionally, the increased cleaning power enables a thorough cleaning process while using less water.
The Diamond Drum’s smooth and diamond-shaped ridges are gentle on fabrics, delivering extra protection for delicate fabrics. Water exit holes within the diamond-shaped ridges, which are designed to a minimal size, also prevent fabric damage by preventing clothes from getting trapped in side of the holes.
