Home > Home > You’ll want to take these cool washers and dryers from IFA 2015 for a spin The nice thing about IFA 2015 is that it’s open to the public. Anyone with a ticket can walk around and marvel at the latest tech. This includes one 7-year-old I saw quizzing an Electrolux representative about the latest washers and dryers. That kid gets it. Laundry tech is cool. That was especially evident this year. The Haier Duo washing machine won Digital Trends’ Home Appliance Award, because having two drums in a single machine is just a great idea. The top holds around 9 pounds of clothes, and you can fit 17.6 pounds in the bottom. There are lots of different programs you can choose from on the 7-inch LCD screen, which means you can wash delicates separately while your jeans are going through a more heavy duty clean on the bottom.

Washing clothes in cold water saves energy, and detergent makers like Tide are starting to get on board. Whirlpool showed off its Hotpoint Natis machine, which removes 100 types of stains at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius). It’s comparable to washing at 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), according to the company, thanks to its 10 drum rotations and its “Direct Injection” technology, which premixes the water and detergent.Vacuum Cleaner Beads Bosch also showed off some interesting machines.

Check out these and more innovations in our roundup of cool washers and dryers from IFA 2015.If you think the only benefit to a fully-connected smarthome is getting notifications on your phone when someone is breaking into your house, you're missing the bigger picture. Whirlpool is introducing a connected washer and dryer that can talk to your Nest thermostat so it knows when you're home and when you're away to help prevent wrinkled clothing and expensive power bills. The feature that consumers will appreciate most on the new Whirlpool Smart Top Load washer is a touchscreen display that simply asks you what you're washing and how you want it be cleaned. Bizarre foreign phrases like 'permanent press' have been replaced with easier to understand descriptions like bedding, baby clothes, even hand-wash fabrics to ensure your clothing is best being cared for and cleaned. And when the washer is connected to a Whirlpool app on your phone, you'll be able to eventually download additional custom wash cycles for harder-to-clean garments.

If your home is already just a bit smarter with a Nest thermostat on active duty, the Smart Top Load washer and dryer can talk to it to help ensure they run as efficiently as possible. For example, if the Nest knows you're away from home and the dryer is still running, it will automatically switch to a longer lower-temperature EcoBoost mode so it uses less energy. And once you get home, the machines can automatically switch to quieter modes so you won't even know they're running. When they're available sometime in the spring, the washer and dryer can even take advantage of Nest's Rush Hour Rewards program, automatically delaying the start of a cycle until a high-demand energy period has passed which will help save you even more money on your monthly power bill. One day you might actually be able to turn a profit every time you do your laundry, but for the time being just saving a few bucks sounds pretty great too.

Fed up of being tethered to the kitchen on washing day? The Whirlpool connected washer and dryer should take a load off your mind... With the rise of the smart home, there’s no room in the house that’s transformed quite as drastically as the kitchen. Coffee machines talk to our alarm clocks, kettles listen to our door locks, fridges send selfies to our smartphones, and thanks to Whirlpool, our washing machine and tumble dryer now communicate with each other. Complete guide to smart kitchen appliances Launching this month, Whirlpool’s brand new connected washer and dryer duo sync with an app on your phone to give you remote control of every aspect of a spin, with the ability to choose a load type, set a spin speed, and even dispense detergent from anywhere in or away from your home. Whirlpool’s 6th Sense app (iOS and Android) guides you through the full washing process step by step, suggesting the best programme based on what you’re washing, letting you check the progress of your load whenever you like, wherever you are.

You can also check the energy usage using the app’s EcoMonitor function and choose the best programme to save precious pennies on your energy bills. The app even advises on the most efficient time of day to do your washing. The pair’s real crowning glory, however, is the ability to communicate with each other to perfectly sync washing and drying. When you start a load of washing, the app will tell the dryer the washing machine’s current load type and spin speed, so when you pop your washing in the dryer, it will have already chosen the correct drying cycle. The machines will listen to you too. If you’re ever too busy to take out your wet washing, you can ask the machine to keep it fresh for you by gently tumbling the load until you’re available. Both machines will keep you updates if there are ever any machine errors or maintenance needs too. The Supreme Care washing machine (FSCR 12441) and the Supreme Care tumble dryer (HSCX 10441) will available to buy this month for around £899.99 each from Whirlpool.
