Review of a Samsung washing machine with an additional door

The largest sellers of household appliances agree that most often buyers purchase washing machine models equipped with another special door. I wonder if the increased demand for washing machines with the AddWash function is caused only by a competent advertising campaign prepared by the manufacturers, or whether such an addition is really very useful and valuable for users? It’s difficult to say, but we will try to figure out how functional and efficient Samsung washing machines with an additional door are, and we will present for your consideration a list of the best models offered on the market.

Why an additional hatch?

Ten years ago, an interesting survey was conducted in America and some Western European countries: housewives were asked to list the main disadvantages of automatic machines that have a front-loading type. Most respondents agreed on one thing - they are often annoyed by the inability to reload forgotten items into the drum after starting the washing program.

The people interviewed complained that because of one pair of socks or a light blouse, they have to stop the entire process and then start it again, and this is not only a waste of time, but also an excessive consumption of water, washing powder and electricity.

Perhaps this problem may seem like a trifle to some, a “matter of everyday life,” but clean and emotional English, German and French women perceived such an omission very painfully. Engineers from the global brand Samsung immediately responded to the expressed opinion and released a series of washing machines with the new AddWash function. The technology assumes that the machine, in addition to the main hatch, has a small window through which you can reload things into the drum.

Of course, you can’t throw a blanket through a small door, but throwing in a T-shirt, socks or trousers is absolutely possible. This interesting feature was highly appreciated by users, so in this review we decided to talk about the best SMA models in this series.
